Mike, I gotta say; you're doing such a great thing with these videos. You're breaking down all the great songs by the best band ever, and it's an invaluable resource for so many people, young and old. For those of us who share your appreciation of The Beatles, you deserve a big thank you!
Outstanding! Great work on those vocals!! I had that 45 when I was 11 years old and listened to it until I wore it out. Helped inspire me to learn guitar. My mom turned us on to the Beatles when she bought "Meet The Beatles". We used to go nuts and run around the dining room table for the rockers, then ease our pace for the slower ballads "All I've Got To Do", "Not A Second Time". My parents had a Silvertone HiFi console. When it was about shot, I took it apart and used the cabinet and 15" speaker and a monaural Wollensak reel to reel tape machine for my first "amp". I took the microphone from the Wollensak and stuck it inside my Woolworth acoustic guitar. It worked! The Wollensak actually had a 12AX7 tube for preamp. Hey! It's electric! When we'd walk to church on Sunday, we'd pass a place called Monaco's House of Music. They had two showcase windows jammed with Rickenbaker guitars (all the models the Beatles used), and Vox and Fender amps. I swear I just floated away in a dream looking at those. Good memories.
Just watched this one again. It is a fun song. That opening lick is always immediately recognized by folks. It puts a smile on faces just it does yours Mike Pachelli. Thanks for all you do and the charts and tabs.
Awesome Mike, it's definitely one of my favorite beatles song, I play the opening part with chords a little different, but now I know the real deal. Thanks. Mitchell Magee.
Great job Mike. This is the first song I ever played live when I first started playing in 1976 at 14 years old. Since there was no lead guitar part. I used my Rickenbacker 330/6 . Brought back great memories. You are the Beatles Guru teacher on You Tube .
Great lesson and info on the song. This song is such a classic and It’s a shame John didn’t just enjoy and appreciate the Beatles great fun songs as we do.
Always a Joy, Mike to watch, listen, and learn from you. Like knowing you for decades! Thanks for this video... so much enjoyed it. P. S. Your John & Paul vocal was really very good. You are too humble, Brother.👍🥁🎸
Playing this Beatles tune in a cover oldies band I can say this tune is easily one of the most popular dance songs of the night. Funny that John did not think much of it. Great vid , cheers.
I think if John was alive today Mike, his mood would have mellowed and he would now look on his Beatles years with affection, so sad the world was robbed of a great musician.
Great informative "stories behind the song" once again Mike. Little tidbit from my end FWIW, I was almost 14 when the record on Capital was released like you stated around Feb/March/'65, there was a plethora of great sounding MOTOWN numbers climbing up the charts, and I actually was working one of my first jobs I ever (part time weekends) had washing dishes in a Brown Derby Restaurant. Nearly everybody working in the kitchen area were African American and I vividly recall them dancing and clapping and singing along to the record. Back in those days of AM "Top 50" radio, employers allowed us to have our transistor radios tuned into these stations, anyway...I never witnessed this outpouring of affection towards the other Beatles tunes (in that kitchen) that were so popular in that day! Would be interesting to talk with any of the "MOTOWN' folks and get there opinions on this particular number!! Thanks again for sharing!! Bruce (formerly TUNZ909)
The demo at the end of this video is PHENOMENAL!!!! It's a WOW - that good. Fascinating to hear the parts perfectly articulated and brought together like that.
That period around Beatles for Sale/Help is probably my favourite for Beatle classics and as always you’ve mastered it perfectly Mike, especially the vocals
Very well explained. The history, the musical parts & great vocals.thank you Mike for your dedication to preserving the extensive details of the Beatles musical creations. You are the most amazing "go to guy when researching every aspect of why, when , & how it all came about. Thank you for all your hard work& sharing your knowledge. Respectfully, Jim
BlueHen - thanks for those kind words but truth-be-told, I struggle to ever upload my cover versions because NOBODY (including me) gets anywhere near the greatness, joy and genius of those young lads.
A huge font of Beatles knowledge plus a talented musician make this channel the best out there for anything Beatles, and all for free. Thank you for all you work and dedication, without which none of use would be able to play, enjoy and understand these wonderful songs. kind regards.
So incredible that George’s 12 string part sounds EXACTLY like the original. How cool it must be to have the same kind of instruments that the Beatles had.
Another great video. In time I think this series will be recognized as one of the great online Beatles resources, like Alan Pollack's music theory notes about the Beatles songs.
MP is absolutely brilliant at these covers! Quite often he makes me enjoy (more) Beatles' songs Im not hugely keen on and his care, eear and ability to show the guitar bits of the songs really showcases the genius of The Beatles! Ty , Mike!
Great stuff Mike! Enjoyed! "Eight Days A Week" might be a simple song lyrically - but musically it's one of the most joyous & captivating songs of the decade!! John sings right in the upper registers of his voice with power - amazing!!
Little known fact: Mike was actually one of the Beatles but got no billing because the band thought that John, Paul, George, Ringo, and Mike sounded like a mouthful so he was left out. He remembers how all the songs were recorded, however....
Mike, I could have used your videos back in the 60's. They would have saved me from driving my mother crazy by picking up the record-player needle and dropping on the record over and over a million times trying to figure the guitar parts out.
Ronnie - I did the EXACT same thing in the 60's - ruined LOTS of records. NOW - I still have to listen to a song a ba-zillion times (to learn how to teach it) but at least it doesn't ruin the hard drive.
Its actually John Lennon's brother Mike.......... 😊😊you really smashed it thank you so much dude.....really enjoyed the insight and the whole lesson begging to end.
I always ranked all of their songs as #1 hits it didn't matter to me. The best music ever written in my book. Could never understand John not believing in the Beatles saying it was all rubbish !
That was so fun and great ! You sang that really good and the left handed bass part of Paul’s was a plus! Always love the back story of the song ! George not changing his strings for three years was like the old blues artist with there sound! Clapton is the same ,is guitar tech has to sneak his stings on his guitars! Thanx Mike
Great tute Mike-as always. “They never played this song live.” Thing is, from Revolver forward, they didn’t play ANY of their mid-late great songs live, EVER as a band (except for a couple TV appearances and the roof concert). All that great music created ‘66-70... rehearsed a day or two in studio...then recorded...and then never again played as a band!
Did you read my mind? 😀 Honestly, I was looking to see if you had covered this a day or so ago and you hadn't. Now after looking for a good version of it, here you are. I'm blown away. I swear you read my mind! LOL!
Mike, I gotta say; you're doing such a great thing with these videos. You're breaking down all the great songs by the best band ever, and it's an invaluable resource for so many people, young and old. For those of us who share your appreciation of The Beatles, you deserve a big thank you!
Mike never disappoints
i am 71 years old now thank you for all the clips especially the songs from the first and second album
Let's just take a moment to point out that you have a really good singing voice.
My new Be-at-lees guru.... you are the best Beatles teacher I’ve encountered, thank you !
Really brings back great memories. Mike, you’re an OUTSTANDING PICKER!!!
I thought I had extracted as much enjoyment as I could from Beatles since 1964 - great to know there was still plenty. Thanks

It astonishes me that it wasn't released as a single in the UK, it just screams No.1.
Stracepipe - ABSOLUTELY!!
I think every Beatles song screams Number 1 😂
@@alfiebenzie2315 except for Revolution No 9. , It screams number 9, number 9... 😎
Yeah I am totally agree 👍
And it's unbelievable that they never played it live in those days!
It's a very fun song to play live
@@backandfour 😂👏🏻 of course! It couldn't scream another number 😆😂
Mike you definitely nailed it. The vocals were wicked. Excellent work. Many thanks.
John - Much appreciated and thanks for saying that!
@@MPfrance It's true. You have an amazing ability to project the enjoyment of these songs. It makes it so much fun to learn them. Thanks.

One of my all time beatles songs .And you done a brilliant job Mike best wishes Colin UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍
I think this song is BRILLIANT.

Thanks Al - very kind of you to say!
While the Fabs never played it on stage, Paul opened with it a few years ago. Sounded GREAT!/ Thank you for the lesson.
Great lesson and info on the song. This song is such a classic and It’s a shame John didn’t just enjoy and appreciate the Beatles great fun songs as we do.
He did at the time. It would of been weird if when he was asked in the 70's he wouldn't of insulted 90% of what they did.
Interesting stuff and made me realise how much they put into their songs. Thanks for that.
Good to see that John Lennon by himself teaches us how to play Beatles songs. Very kind.
Being 70 years old, I grew up with Beatles music. Just can’t get enough!😄 Yet another excellent job, Mike!👍
Always a Joy, Mike to watch, listen, and learn from you. Like knowing you for decades! Thanks for this video... so much enjoyed it.
P. S. Your John & Paul vocal was really very good. You are too humble, Brother.👍🥁🎸
Dennis - Glad you enjoyed it. But I never feel I get ANYWHERE near the greatness of John & Paul's vocals.
Mike,
You blow me away, with all your research, meticulous breakdowns and then you put it all together at the end. Just wonderful,
Thank you,
Paul
I saw paul in 2015. He opened the show with " days a week" AMAZING!!!
I am so jealous of your vocal range. God truly blessed you to keep your voice they adulthood. I love your lessons! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
me too... ;-)
Great job! Another revelation of St.Mike. Thank you!

I just love the way you break it down and explain the background! My favorite!
Brian - Thanks so much 😊
Fascinating! I've learned so much about their musicianship from these sessions. Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Mike, I can't tell you what a delight it is to me when you drop one of these videos. Thank you, and all the best.

The first song I ever played on stage in 1965. But it was no way as good as yours! Thanks for the memories!
David - I too, played it lousy back in '65 - LOL
@@MPfrance You must have been a baby!
You are so modest, loved the full play of the song!

Excellent as always Mike!!! Really enjoy seeing how they think!
Phenomenal video. I’m 18 and just got into guitar and The Beatles and your videos have helped tremendously. Thank you!
You did an awesome job on this, as usual Mike, just wonderful... thanks for keeping the Beatles alive...
Vin S - Thanks for saying that - very kind of you!!
So incredible that George’s 12 string part sounds EXACTLY like the original. How cool it must be to have the same kind of instruments that the Beatles had.
When you want the best you see a specialist and Mike is ur man, you couldn’t have got a closer lesson unless it had been with the Beatles themselves
Brilliant! What an excellent, detailed and expertly performed! Thank you so much. Cheers!
Fantastic as always
You are an amazing teacher thanks for the videos.
I love that you call your metronome "Ringo".
Rich - and my metronome calls me Mike!
Another great video. In time I think this series will be recognized as one of the great online Beatles resources, like Alan Pollack's music theory notes about the Beatles songs.
Are his notes online? Or in a written physical book one could get at Amazon? thanks
Great lesson, great stories!! Thank you Mike!
Great lesson. Have always loved this Song. Really enjoyed this. Fab singing too!

As usual a very good lesson and a fantastic version at the end. I love the Pachelli twins vocals;
Excellent Mike! Love your videos and keep rocking!!👍👍🎸😎
Outstanding Mike 👍🏼 + your youthfulness came through nicely. Cheers 🍻

This man is a Master. He aint got time for suggestions.
Keep it coming Mike thanks from California via Manila !

Wow never knew that. In this video he looks like John during St. Pepper. He just needs that accent
I thought the vocals were great, especially for such an old fellow.
Great singing, and plying. You sound just like the Beatles, great job.
Thank you for this lesson Mike!
I love this song. I have this song in my solo acoustic set and it always gets folks toes tapping.
ramjtime - YES - GREAT song - so fun to play!!
Beautiful performance
Thanks
