I tried 8 different KZread guitar lessons on “Here Comes the Son” before settling on this one. Some are by really good guitar teachers. This is the best one. Thank you so very much!

this guy has a fabulous ear, understands theory, and he can play and sing as good as anyone...
Nobody presents the clarity and patience demonstrated in your lessons. It places the student at ease, poised for the next step to come.
Only George could have written that song, such a beautiful soul, great lesson, thanks

I am with you in your love for George, but Paul wrote “Yesterday” and “Blackbird.” Just as beautiful.

Been playing this song for 10 years or so, and well. But J Swift cleaned up many parts & fills, and it sounds so much better now. He is my favorite teacher for sure. Always thorough, patient, and kind.
Thank you so much, Rob. When my daughter was a toddler, I could pick the melody but not play it full the way you've shown us here. We had fun playing and singing along with the recording anyway. We have happy memories of this and over the years we always sing it together when we hear it. My baby is 24 now and I cannot wait to surprise her with my new skills playing this beautiful song. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much Luis, I’m so glad you’re enjoying this lesson, I really put a lot of time and effort to get this one right. Have a great week of practice! -Rob
What an excellent and detailed explanation of this song! Great playing, gorgeous guitar and your vocals are amazing too. ❤🎉
Thank you. Been playing for decades and finally decided to learn this properly. I don’t play many Beatles and this is one of their best Cheers
That's simply THE BEST tutorial of this song! Thank you!
Love it. Been working at this off and on for several decades. This lesson will get me home.
Like the way you dissemble every intro of the song,and put it together awesome!!!
I’ve watched many lessons from good teaches but you’re the one that is easier for me to learn. Thank You.
Great lesson! been practicing this for about a week now and almost got it down fully
Gorgeous Furch. It's about time for me to get to this beautiful song. Part are not that easy to me. Thank you Rob. 🎶🎶🎶
Thanks for this! Never thought I'd get it down, but you teach it so well!
This is the best in depth tutorial I’ve seen. It’s much appreciated

So glad to hear that. I agree, this one took a ton of planning and practice to put together. It’s easily one of the most difficult things I’ve taught.
Very well transcribed and interpeted...its not just crosspicked its a strummy , picky piece when you listen to it. And yet many people crosspick it entirely...you did a great job rob. And that furch leaves me breathless, such a sweet guitar

I didn't realize you tackled "here comes the sun", i've seen other tutorials but i'd been waiting for yours, I'm a devoted Patreon subscriber too! All the best, let's getcracking!
Liked the video before watching the video! Nice job, Rob!
Excellent job! Your vocal sound reminds me of Dan Fogelberg. I’ve played the song myself for years but never did the capo, which makes all the difference.
I thank you for this guitar lesson of yours, as ths one i (Here Comes The Sun) s one of my favorites songs of great band beatles. I know we can learn a lot with your lessons of wonderful classic songs. May you God bless always with your loving family.
You are really best tutor in the internet. I, who was a zero beginner, managed to play the piece as well as you and Georges H. in less than one week even if I lost 2 or 3 nights 😂That’s amazing. Now I would like to play Something in a way, Don’t let me down, Stairway to Heaven, Dirty old bosa nova, and Father and Son. I would appreciate that a lot. Thank you Sir.
Another Rob Swift masterclass! Very few to emulate him.
Perfectly played. That furch is absolutely gorgeous and sounds beautiful as well
The best, I love the way you teach, thank you so much
Again, 👏👏👏👏. Can’t wait to learn this. Thank you sir.

So glad you’re excited and ready to tackle this one. It seems tough but is actually super repetitive, just need to take your time getting down the main sections and build the muscle memory.
Man you sing!!! I can tell that your passion came from singing before you started playing the guitar

Well done. I just learned it on bass and it's fun to play along.
Good lesson, easily explained 👏.
u and that guitar and audio setup sound fantastic!
You are the best, my friend!
excellent cover and lessons thankyou so much
Great tutorial 💯 tnx for this sir rob ❤️
Congrats this the first video that I find it’s full explained, new sub 🎉🎉
wow - thanks so much for taking the time and being so specific!!
Excellent lesson. Would not change a thing. Thank you!
Awesome brother! Very inspiring ..
Great lesson on a classic! Cheers!
Great job. I really like when you play all the way through first because intermediate players need only to watch someone play the song to pick it up. Also I noticed that all chords were used by James Taylor at that time.
Perfect lesson!
Thank you mate. Rookie guitar player and been looking at many versions to learn
Holly molly! that looks hard yet sounds easy to play!
Thank you! a play it on a classical guitar, with my finger it is also very nice💖
Rob, great lesson as always !
Thanks for taking the time and for posting. Great job and pretty much exactly how I play it (except I prefer the 12 string). My favorite version is with George being accompanied by Pete Ham of Badfinger at the Concert for Bangladesh). 😁 One slight difference is that instead of using my ring finger to slide up on the G string, I prefer to hammer on with my pinky. It is less movement and much easier (although I sometimes mix it up and do both).
That was flawless man. Good on ya.👍
So so easy to follow and great.
SUPER JOB - perfect picking AND vocal (which is RARE!). - Johnny in the Blue Ridge Mts. of Western NC
Got to try this! Thanks!
I also tried other lessons this one is the best do I stick to this. Thank u so much. I just subscribed your KZread channel❤
Amazing depth of detail I have not seen in other tutorials. This is by far the best one I have seen. You are a great guitar player and teacher. Thank's for this lesson. Could I request a lesson on Bon Jovi, Blaze of Glory?
Extremely good teaching, thanks
Awesome as always Rob. 👍 👍
Sounds better when you do it! Thanks!
Magnífica interpretación, bien ejecutada la guitarra.
Love to hear that musik how beautiful that music you played make my soul so tender..great thank you..👍🎶❤.
Excellent lesson... Thank you so much
I can learn new songs easily from you
What a fantastic tutorial 👍
This is excellent. Probably the best instruction of this song. I wish your tuning was 440 to make it easier to play along.
Fantastic! Great tutorial
excellent instruction!
Most awesome lesson Rob. I will start working on this great song! I also promise to be sending some money soon to support you. Would love to see you teach “Down Home Girl” the style Old Crow Medicine Show did it one day.
Perfect. Thank you!
Wonderful,thank you!👏
Thank you for sharing mabuhay from philippines

That quarter rest in the first measure of the intro always trips me up, I always want to play the D like it was on beat 1 instead of 2!

Whoa dude! I just clicked on this for another take on this song but instead got a Cat Stevenesque vocal version that is utterly sublime. Have you got any recordings floating around here on youtube?
Awesome, Can’t practice keep listening to you.
