My mother was into the Big Band era, Glenn Miller, Dorsey, Goodman, etc... but every once in a while, she could tolerate some newer music. She didn't like Rock & Roll at all, but she liked some softer stuff. I came across this video in 2014, and I asked her to listen to it ( I was her caregiver by then). She was skeptical when I said it was a guitar rendition, but she let me play it. It absolutely melted her heart. She died about a month later sadly, but I was glad she got to experience a different type of music and was able to enjoy it. Miss you, Mom.

I often record acoustic guitar with a mic on the bridge and 12th fret. Gives a nicer stereo feed between a brighter and fatter sound. As for the more distant mic, that picks up room ambience and is probably the reason this sounds so reverberant.

When Pat Metheny was still in a Junior in High School, he attended the Midwestern music and Art Camp in Lawrence, KS, stayed in one of the Daisy Hill dormitories there. I was the Resident Counselor for the wing of the Hall he lived in. His remarkable talent was obvious to all the other kids his age in our wing and his fame grew all over the Campus. He was a lively, but a little ornery, outgoing and had quite a 'big' personality that won you over quickly. I hardly saw him in the Hall, because he was always somewhere else, no doubt dazzling other kids his age with his talent - and probably also he spent time with the instructors there at the Camp. I have always been secretly proud that he "was one of my kids" that summer many years ago. After that I watched his fame and renown only grow along with his talent. I hope I was able to be a good role model for him at that time in his young life. One other thing, he was one of the most handsome kids around the Camp. And I'm sure he could charm the socks off the silly little junior high girls - all atwitter. I am late in saying this, but "Congratulations, Pat, for your success and for your well-lived life. May you live with your due fame always following you and with a career as long as have Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney had!"

+Alan N Reeder You will find, by and large, most successful people have that certain "je ne sais quois" you've described knowing in Pat. I'm a long-time fan, and an avid reader of his history.. Over the years I've squired an 'earnest feeling' about what kind of person he might have been in parallel to his unmatched musicianship.. My "research" dates back to the mid-80's when I once saw Danny Gotlieb and Mark Egan do a clinic at E.U. Wurlitzer in Boston MA, where Danny G anecdotally spoke of his own experience working with Pat in the very early days. And according to both men, he WAS ornery-- to use your word. Last, I think in order to make it in any business, one may not need to be ornery, but one certainly does need a "big" personality--and that can be taken any way you like, but the fact remains, 'You Gotta Take It' to quote one, Jack Nicholson during his opening narrative at the start of The Departed.

+GotLotsaFaith Thank you for your comment. I used the word "ornery" because I couldn't quite come up with a word that exactly described his youthful behavior. He was self-confident; out-going; effervescent; had a magnetic personality none could ignore. Plus, of course, he was a genius; and I mean that not just in music, but in other aspects of life - as oftentimes goes along with people of genius as well. I can't way I knew him deeply, but I do feel I can say that he had depth, in his personality, his devotion to his music, his care for others, and his ability to "navigate the world" ahead of him. I think he knew he was bound for fame and prepared himself properly to accommodate to that future. He, of course, also had the good luck of being a very handsome young man, with quite a following of groupie girls!

As a professional guitarist of ten years, I love what he is doing. He isn't slapping, clacking or playing showoff, he just feel and expresses the song. So many 'McKee wannabe' acoustic guitarists could learn a large amount about the guitar just by watching this video.

@@katy8334 I think you and sully are talking about the same thing. McCartney gave credit to Harrison for the riff which "made" the song what it is.

On a different note, I don't think Metheny did this song any favours with his interpretation. Uneven playing, awkward and uninteresting.

I've been following Pat since Bright Size Life came out, and have seen him several times - first back in '79 with the original Pat Metheny Band. His versatility and virtuosity are breathtaking. But, Pat on acoustic gives me goosebumps.

There's something very bizarrely comforting about hearing Pat breathing here. Often when you're listen to performances of songs, or the songs themselves, you can forget that human beings, having a human experience, wrote and recorded them, and were doing something as obvious as breathing the entire time. Arguably, the best music of all time has that effect. It's somewhere between alienating and understanding. Just hearing the struggle between human and instrument, and the tug of war that goes into making a song happen live, and the irregular, heavy breathing reminds us what we are capable of if we really apply ourselves. We're human beings just the exact same as Pat Metheny, hard as that might be to believe.

That is just great. Fantastic song, sensitive virtuoso, great recording. 100%

A beautiful rendition of a very timeless song! ☆☆☆☆☆

Me too.... and this Pat, is one of the most beautiful interpretations I've ever heard. Thank you!

This is so lush. One of my favourite Beatles songs, too. I was sceptical, but ended up listening to this three times in a row!

So simple yet so complicated to play. Amazing Master Pat.

Beautiful! a great artist....even sir Paul would be amazed!!
