I discovered the Beatles in 1963 when I was 15 living in Transylvania, Romania. It wasn't easy listening to their music that was broadcast by Radio Free Europe because the Russians heavily jammed the sound waves, so we had to listen to the music between electronic noise breaks. You cannot imagine what a revelation their music was on me. Left the country in 1964 and spent an amazing 8 months in Rome. A few steps from our apartment was a square called Piazza Vittorio where among the pinball and fuzzball machines there were some coin operated jukeboxes, where to my delight I found several Beatle records. The funny thing was that the Italians would only listen to the latest hits from the San Remo music festival and not the Beatles. Never the less I was in music heaven and spent every hard earned coin listening to the fab four. Thanks Mike for bringing back those memories and giving them life once more.

“ Always good to hear from people in other countries tell their feelings about The Beatles. In 1965 when I was four years old and began having very vivid and solid memories I remember riding my rocking horse to Beatles LP’s my mother had acquired… and from then on I grew up with all their albums. In 1969 I was eight when they broke up😐”

What amazes me about this song is that it was written and arranged by very young (early 20s) Beatles. Such a mature song for young lads to create. Brilliant guys those Beatles.

The first studio attempt to record "And I Love Her" on February 25th, 1964 was George Harrison's 21st birthday. No doubt he was a young musical genius...Paul was right, that song wouldn't be as cool without George's riff. What a beautiful acoustic classic!Thanks Mike 🙏🏻

You're a lucky man.

This song is so lovely and intimate. We often take these songs for granted because we've listened to them hundreds of times but it's such a stunning composition and performance.

The two things that stood out to me as a 7th grader when I played this album for the first time in 1964 in my bedroom, was 1) the key change jump going into the lead - that was stunning to me. and 2) George "creeping" back in after the lead. It was so great - he just "snuck" back in ... no doubt, as Mike pointed out, because they were dealing with with a 2-track recorder. So great.... what an impression this song had on me and how it contrasted all the screaming and shouting that surrounded them on Ed Sullivan TV performances - with this song, for 3 minutes of this 7th grader's life, the world stopped turning and everything in it was perfect...you don't forget things like that... -The Composer

Yes, I have always thought And I Love Her has been undervalued. It's subtly genius, not flashy. It's greatness sneaks up on the listener.

Oh my God , music genius in every song they wrote .

Thanks Mike. I was born in 1951. I somehow managed to purchase each Beatle's album as it was released here in the US. My father wouldn't allow their music to be played in the house so each day as I got off the school bus (and my mother wasn't home) I went right to the stereo and played Beatles albums until a car pulled in the driveway. (I stood in the window). I started playing music when I was young. I was in my first band in high school and have played in bands on and off ever since. Music has been important to me my whole life, but it was never more magical than in those hours spent standing (and singing) by the dining room window.

One of thee most beautiful songs ever written. That's an understatement! We'd be so fortunate to write one that comes close to matching the brilliance of this song, but we'll try!

Was in a Beatles/British Invasion band for five wonderful years. I came up with the idea of going from "And I Love Her" directly into "This Boy," on that final "D" chord. Works great! Try it!

Phenomenal analysis of one of the greatest songs of all time. Thanks so much for putting this together!

Yes, very lovely and It is worth pointing out that even though none of the Beatles had formal music training, they did compose and play many of their songs with a Spanish/ Classical flavor. Besides Rock and Roll I also have an affinity for listening to that style of performance.

Mike, I especially appreciate your analysis of this song because in the video of the Beatles playing it live, the cameraman focused on George playing the solo for only about half a second. Thanks for relieving some of that frustration!

When a everyday guy like you Mike (as talented as you are) gets so close to the original feel of these classics it gives some of us mere mortals hope! Thanks 😎

Your back-stories are something very special. On so many levels, nobody does Beatles better than you. And thanks

Mike..... YOU are brilliant! Your love and appreciation of the Beatles music comes through with every video. Thanks so much for what you do!

I taught myself the entire song with solo and all of George's cool parts way back in 1964 when it came out. Later on, when I studied Theory in College at UNC in Chapel Hill, I came to understand the precise scale [ Bb/ G minor] the solo came from as, initially , I simply just found the notes and followed my eyes and ears. Knowing theory is the big game changer that I recommend to all. It's the ultimate problem solver. Thanks for this tutorial . One of my favorite "acoustic" songs of The Beatles. I teach all these songs as well. Thanks for doing all your homework on these classics and for your genuine enthusiasm for their music.

Mike, my brother, you absolutely nailed Paul’s vocal part!! And, of course, the two guitar parts were spot on, also. Bravo !

Very good, Mike! I am 64 and playing guitar since 9 years young...Thank you for keeping The Beatles alive for the next generations..Very good and I appreciate it and you!!!!

Your reverence and appreciation for the songwriting, maturity and soloing on this song is in full display. I love it. There was no better band on the planet and it's not even close. A friend of mine and I started getting together once or twice a week at the onset of the pandemic and play guitars just for fun... and every time we dissect a Beatles song a little more closely we realize the brilliance on an even deeper level. Really well done and your lesson was one of the best online. He and I are in the middle of learning this song which was what brought me to your channel. The Beatles stuff has all been incredible for me particularly because I'm a drummer primarily, so getting to dive in on the genius of their writing has been eye opening for me as a musician and very mid level guitarist. My pandemic Beatles jam sessions have helped get me through the pandemic. Keep up the great work!!

The work of geniuses well revitalized and described! A job very well done! Thank you for sharing such an beautiful art of guitar music!

I could watch you all day Mike, thanks for the appreciation of Beatles music and the teaching skills you give to us all. FOR THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BEATLES!

And I love this, so much. You knocked it out of the park again. Thanks. This song was another great example of the Beatles' magic.

Fascinating history and guitar lessons. You are great Mr. Pachelli!

So simple - so beautiful- genius

Mike, I love how you celebrate their artistry with joy as you faithfully disclose it for all of us to marvel at. Thank you!

Thank you so much Mike for putting this up. Bless you. It's just great to play along with it. You do a great performance.

Superb, Mike. Love this song. I'm 90% there, so I'm practicing this weekend. 👍👍👍

I altogether agree regarding George's special forms of genius in his work on many Beatles compositions, including this one. Think of it this way: he was all of 28 when he left the Beatles as they broke up. Anyone who could that much superb work by the time one is 28, that is genius.

So glad i stumbled across your channel a while back. You're a joy to watch and your love for the Beatles is undeniable. Your little classical interlude was awesome.

As much a music appreciation lesson as a technical lesson.. I was about 9 years old when this was played on a Hard Days Night. It was so different then the other music they played. It always resonated with me and could never get old.

Thanks Mike,... I can always tell when an artist captures the essence of a song,... because when the cover is played, I well up, just as I do when listening to the original artist!..... nice job!!!!

You should have been the fifth Beatle. You play there music just like I remember back when I first saw them on The Ed Sullivan show. How great it was to be a young teenager back then. I long for those days. Thank you for all your music

Beautiful mastery as always. Thanks so much!

Wonderful lesson on a great song Mike quite inspiring And George's master guitar work shows just how great he was Simple but not easy to get the essence of this

Love how this guy delights with a little chuckle at the small improvs in the various parts of this song.

As someone who’s been a massive Beatles fan since I was a kid (first got into them when I was 10 and I’m 22 now) I love your analysis videos, it’s always cool learning about the various intricacies with their parts and how they fit into the music so keep up the awesome work Mike

Nice Mike! such a great Ballad! love that song. I grew up in N.Y.C., Went to Chelsea Voc. H.S.. Got my Electrical background and sell supplies now for the Last 30 years. Anyway, I graduated IN 76' I was playing guitar for several years already, and My H.S. started a Music class in my Junior year. so...... I got to find out who else were Musicians. Played with some good players. Bob Shaw from Brooklyn played bass. Jeff Olshen played lead / rythum and Myself the same. and Also , A fella named John Tagliarrino. John and I started a Band that summer of 76' and two other Fellas. and that song was one of our Favorites ! And A Great Bridge song from the Faster stuff. did also, 8 days A week. Steve Miller songs, B.T.O..... All the Fun R&R stuff of the day....... Once in a while, I strum that. Oh, so, in 1979, I Got saved and accepted Jesus in My life. so Bid the band farewell ..... The music I was playing changed. I still play. Thanks for Cover and Great Info !

Mike I want to tell you how much I enjoy and have learned from you. I saw the Beatles in Minnesota when I was just a young teen back in 1965. The joy and appreciation that you have for their music is incredible. You've taught me a lot about the history of how the Beatles created some of the best music of our time.

I love the intro in that song. The way that the final note of the 2nd intro riff hits the E6 chord made me fall in love with the song. It gives off such a unique sound effect where it feels like he's hitting that note in such a different way, but it's just the same riff each time. That always mesmerizes me and sets the example for the rest of the song.

Really appreciate your knowledge and hard work and simply explaining.🎸

I really enjoy how you always give the back story with dates and explain the process, there is a theme in watching your lessons in how the Beatles constructed music -really revolutionary for its time , it makes me wonder why more composers don't use it today? Also side note I can't imagine on how you felt when you met Paul what a highlight...
