Let's not overlook this: Mike plays the iconic riff on bass and simultaneously sings, which is definitely no mean feat!

Great job Mike! I've been waiting for Daytripper. I thought I played George just right, but as usual you find the little notes & riffs that George does and only dogs and Mike Pachelli can hear! And you're sure he used the Strat? I've seen others say it was the Casino or even the Tennessean. But you DO have the right sound, soooo....winner goes to Mike P!

It's 4am--haven't slept yet--and I'm here with my guitar out

Mike Pachelli must be one of the very best KZreadra at breaking down the guitar tracks ! Fabulous quailty presented in his inimitable style! Ty! ❤😂🎉😊❤😂

Mike , you are the best at breaking down these iconic songs. Thanks for all you do.

John's exact part has been a lifelong mystery for me. It's SO cool! Thanks for this!

Wow - one of the greatest riffs ever - and songs - thank you!!

Mike, your breakdown and performance of these Beatles songs is always spot on and amazing to watch! Thanks so much for keeping their music alive and well. Hope that all is well in France! 👍👍👏👏

Oh-boy, oh-boy, oh-boy! Mike has a new one out! Every time you break dow one of my many favourite Beatles songs, some things (and often a lot of things) are revealed that I haven't grasped for the last 50+ years. It still amazes me how some sounds are actually put together by their parts. In this case the solo/bridge - which I've always enjoyed immensely, but now have another level of insight into. And those pick-aparts never "destroy" anything. They only add to the value. Thank you, Mike!

Awesome as always Mike. Lennon’s unique rhythm style makes the song drive and thrive. Genius chord progressions along with how he brings out individual notes and sounds. Plus his strumming style is so distinct which to me is superior compared with other players and groups of that era. He was such a force. You help us notice and reinforce our respect for John Lennon as an innovator on the guitar. Thanks as always Mike!

@@MPfrance Yes indeed. Thanks again for enlightening me. I wouldn’t have been able to notice this by myself. Grateful to you for your hard work.

If it weren't enough that you give us all the guitar parts down to the most minute details like when someone does NOT play a particular chord or string in a chord, but then we get to watch your soundalike performances, which are a pure JOY for me to watch. I have to watch several times, because I'm so interested in all the different parts. Thank you!

Mike. This was the song that got stated on my guitar journey. What an absolute joy to see you play this together piece by piece. BRAVO ❤

I’ve always loved John guitar sound and strumming on this and you’ve captured it perfectly.

That was brilliant!!! The soundalike was a bloody marvellous cover in it's own right. Your wonderful unselfish musicianship illuminates the Beatles own unique, musicianship. Thank you so much.

one of the coolest songs of all time! Love the breakdown of Johns part! And i agree singing and playing this is crazy hard.

You are the archeologist of guitar parts!! SO great!

I stunned by how close the main riff guitar's tone matches the original recording. Like, it's shocking. Very impressive. Thank you for yet another (typically) thorough and helpful examination, Mike.

Fantastic video Mike! Loved the re-creation at the end. Great point about how well the guitar parts mesh and drive it along. The bridge is especially good.

This was great! I had no clue about John's rhythm part..thanks Mike.

Thanks Mike! A great Fav! Strat played by George! Always Loved It! 🎸🎼💥

The breakdown of the guitar parts during the middle/solo was majestic! Many people overlook the ascending B scale riff. You are the best on You Tube!

I always thought Paul did the 2nd half of the solo. Love John’s jangly rhythm part! Thanks for a great lesson!

Your Best vocal on a Beatles song.. in my band (68- 76) I played lead and sang it too... it takes a lot of practice, it then afterwards it comes natural if ? You were a Beatles music freak as I was .. LOL!! Great as always Mike!!!!

An iconic riff, an iconic song by an iconic band, but also an iconic way to explain and teach the guitar parts, and an iconic sound-like...Mike thanks for this really great work....

FANTASTIC Mike so well researched and performed.

Excellent lesson and one of my favorite songs. This single was a turning point in my life. Thanks!

Mike , thank you so much for your amazing videos where you teach every part of the great Beatles music and give us the back stories .. your contribution to music and music history is un quantifiable. Your playing and singing is magical…thank you so much 🙏🙏🔥

Perfect as ever.

I got the 45 with the two songs for Xmas, 1965. So did my lil sis along with a small record player. We got it all early to help us get through the death of our mother.

Another excellent job Mike, you really invest the time, resources and your talent as a musician to make these productions in a class of their own! Thanks

Mike, I'm not surprised the algorithms are going after your sound-alikes and especially this one. They just keep getting better and this is the best one yet. I too am blown away by your combined bass/singing skills, but also the rawness of your lead vocals and the feel of the drumming. As always, your lesson has given me a deeper appreciation of a much beloved song. Although it's the lessons that have made me a longtime loyal fan of yours, I will miss those sound-alikes if you should drop them. Thanks again, Mike, for another magical trip inside the music.

Wow! Your breakdowns are high quality. Optimal cool and One Man Tribute Band at the end is great and should go on tour.

Let’s hope they won’t take this down and we'll have to wait again! But it shows how great a musician Mike is!

Really enjoy your "Sound Alikes" - Great work on all the parts. Thank you & Cheers from Seattle! 🍻

Excellent and ever so meticulous Mike. Thanks.

thanks so much for making this video!! and all the many others. I have been watching you for years. what you do is fantastique!

That’s a good one. Cheers again.

For most of my life, when the opening riff is played, audiences go wonderfully crazy. I'm rather cheered that John's rhythm work followed his great work on I CALL YOUR NAME and YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

BernieW's earlier commented about the great bass playing. Yes. And I find your drum work is yet another integral part that drives this song forward in power-mode. There are so many previous songs that I think of as "Every Beatle Is Integral" and DAY TRIPPER is one more, but maybe I think of it first in that list. How could that be done without Ringo's opening power-up run and all the other - even the tamborine work is all-but-required for bands.

@@MPfrance And she's forgiven you? Er, at least let you LIVE?!! ha ha... I'd love to hear a personal anecdoate about your learning and/or playing experience with each song. Our band has 4 veteran musicians that are virtual jukeboxes. Plus we've got 300-400 own compositions for any setting. But I'm a relative baby in this stuff, but I am always blown away when our band decides "This audiene is now tired and dull - let's crank 'er up with ___" some standard opening riff. And watching the excitement spread like fire. Or occasional shockwaves as they are concussed awake again. I love seeing that audience reaction. I'd love to hear a performance-tale or goofs and re-learning experiences about any of these songs.

My pleasure!

The guitar riff was the first thing I learned to play on guitar. I was shopping for my first guitar in 1987 and the salesman taught it to me. It was on a Korean made Squier Strat, but I didn't know George played Strat on this song (or any Beatles song) until a couple of years ago. I still have that Srat - my favorite guitar because it's so easy to play on.

Ahhh! What a classic! Thanks Mike😃

Here it's another example of Mike Pachelli at his very best, thanks so much for such a stimulating chart! As regards vocals, maybe it should be noticed that though the song is John's, the first line of each verse is shouted by Paul, perhaps simply because John could not sing that high?

Great video. I thought usually in beginning of videos you discuss what amps were used and stuff? Great tone on that main riff. Sounds close to record. Awesome

Fantastic as always! I never realized Lennon was doing the rhythm like that in that position….you really get Maximum Rick 325 on this. He really worked it kind of Stones- ish .That Riff.! I hear the “Watch Your Step” influence on I Feel Fine but not on this one. I wonder If George refined it? Lennon’s primitive R&B style on Rhythm really drives it ,then that fantastic riff..I actually relate the influence more to Orbisons “Pretty Woman”..it is unique though…a good mashup can be done of those two songs..Day Tripper and Pretty Woman..I have done it! Thanks.
