Fantastic! At 40 years of age, I picked up a guitar for the first time 2 months ago and can play this! Who are the 89 dopes that gave this a thumbs down...!
Intro 4:15 Verse 1 7:42 Chorus 11:25 Verse 2 14:16

Fantastic version of an amazing song. The Beatles were truly inspired. Great to hear others taking on the mantle.

Thank you so much Nicholas! It gives me a lot of pleasure to teach these classic tunes and contribute to keeping the Beatles music relevant for future generations. Many more are on the way. -Rob
Even a young kid can learn the way you teach. Can I request IN MY LIFE guitar solo tutorial. ?Please.
Simple and to the point! I'll have to do a shoegaze version of this song with my band.
I've been working on this for a week now (listening to Let it Be Naked version and practicing form tabs) and decided to look for a proper tutorial and OF COURSE you absolutely nailed it! This is an absolute gem and your version as well as your teaching of it are as always spot on. Thank you!
So expertly taught, and the singing puts the lessons above all other KZread Guitar Tutors, well done.
All I wanted to do was learn the intro, but then this bloke's voice captivated me. Really, really lovely.
love your lessons! your voice fits this song really well. its a joy to listen to you.
Great vocal too. Faithful to John's rendition and very close to his pitch and timbre. Great listen.
thanks, man! I now know how to play (well) 3 beatles songs with intro, actual song, and ending with correct strumming pattern. total bliss.
Your channel has helped me so much in learning the guitar! I'm a huge Beatles fan and love all of your Beatles videos particularly
This song suits your voice soooo good. I learned it when you posted the video, now I come here just to listen you sing. And honestly, I am in love...
Great job, man, and thanks! Ordinarily I avoid lesson titles that say "easy"-anything, but I gave your vid a chance, and it was great and wonderfully instructed. While I realize this is a fairly simple song, IMO you included all the bells and whistles, and that's exactly what I was after! Best of luck with your channel.
To save tuning down, the standard tuning "take 6" version is the last track on the super deluxe version of the white album.
The best lesson yet and singing it also which walks the talk
Endless amounts of Beatles please! Love your videos & your voice, my favourite channel! xx
If you want to play it like the record, tune your guitar half step down

@xander Tune every string to one below it's current tuning. So the E strings become Eb, A becomes Ab, so on and so forth. Your tuner might also call these notes F# or G#, instead of using flats. Good luck!
It's so happy to listen your voice and learn the songs with you. Thank you!
SO beautiful!!! I will learn to play this song just as beautifully as you.
Always love to see Beatles tunes.
You are a great teacher and your guitar skills are amzing! Keep these Beatles lessons rolling please :)
My guitar has been collecting dust since the pandemic. This song gets me back into playing. Cheers!
I love this song. Intro and melody is gorgeous
Holy shit his voice is so good
love your simple guitar styles. Keep playing.
Muito bom! Sou novo no canal, mas estou adorando. Você é um mestre! Saudações, direto do Brasil!
Love it. You sang it beautifully as well. Thanks again.
Loved this tutorial and the way you play, keep being awesome!
bro this demo is the best thing i ve ever heard, CONGRATULATIONS
Definitely one of the few lessons that stands out from the rest. I have seem too many videos which are long and boring and shows only how to play or do the interpretation version..those type does not interest me as I prefer to play and sing. This is why I rate Rob's lesson's 10/10
This is an outstanding tutorial. So glad I found this channel!
This guy really knows how to teach guitar lessons... congrats!
This was excellent! i was looking for a good tutorial of this song because i want to perform it at my last concert in highschool and this one was very good. keep up the good tutorials =)

Truly excellent performance and lesson! Thanks for the cool, je me sais quoi chords on the A7. It really adds a lot when one is doing solo gigs. Kind regards, Hooch
Words are flowing out Like endless rain into a paper cup They slither while they pass They slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow waves of joy Are drifting through my open mind Possessing and caressing me Jai Guru Deva, om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Images of broken light Which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind Inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way Across the universe Jai Guru Deva, om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Sounds of laughter shades of earth Are ringing through my open views Inciting and inviting me Limitless undying love Which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe Jai Guru Deva, om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva

Nicely done Rob. 👏🏻 This is by far, my favorite Lennon composition. The first verse can be confusing and many people have transcribed the lyrics incorrectly. To be fair, I don't know if you wrote down what you thought you heard from a recording or read from someone else's transcription but the following are the correct lyrics. ...they slither wildly as they slip away across the universe. Not, ...they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe. As I said, I know they can be a bit confusing to hear, but I hope this helps. ✌🏻
