The fifth Beatle, Mike, has completed another tremendous how to Beatles video. Everyone is so appreciative of how much work and time you put into making each song stand out. Kudos to you, the person who could truly join Paul and Ringo on stage. ❤🎸

A famous classicist (whose name, alas, I forget) one remarked (in a book, unfortunately, I neglected to note) that one good translation of Vergil does far more good than do a great number of learned papers of criticism; similarly, I submit, one good instructional video-and all of your instructional videos are very good indeed-by demonstrating how a song was played, recorded, and how it works, tells us much more about the song than do shelves of criticism.

The breaking down of another Harrison masterpiece is a tremendous accomplishment and help to guitar enthusiasts to which I am grateful. Additionally, when I listen to your sound alike, I like paying attention to your background vocal harmonies. Often I hear and discover parts of the song unnoticed despite my listening and learning Beatles’ tunes for close to 60 years. In this tune, listening to your interpretation of the McCartney / Harrison background vocals, I discovered inflections I hadn’t closely paid attention to on the album. It’s as if you’ve helped me rediscover this song newly which is joyous for me as a Beatles’ fanatic. Thank you for gifting us your precious time and wisdom.

Apart from these things Mike brings us being great leassons theres also the occasional surprise. I've listened to this song for 55 years now and I've always heard the last chord on "the A7 build-up" as actually being a 7. Ie the pinkie on the third fret (counted from the capo) of the first string, not the fifth. Having seen a lot of Mikes breakdowns of Fab4 songs I'm fairly sure he's correct, though. Will have a listen later, to see if it has just been my mind wanting the 7 to be there. Or possibly another instrument, eg the synth, playing a 7 there., Keep'em coming, Mike. These things you do are excellent. Bottom note: Yup, 55 years soon. Truly timeless stuff. Something that not will be said of most of the stuff coming out today [said this surley curmudgeon] 😊.

I often wonder when a song has been ‘written’ by someone , in this case George how much input and direction he would have had in composing Ringos drum part or whether Ringo was allowed to just play along and devise his clever drumming himself.

Thanks Mike! I believe the synthesizer “slide” was an accident. I read that some setting stuck and caused the notes to descend and fade. They liked the effect and kept it in. Also when George played Here Comes the Sun on SNL (with Paul Simon) he had moved the capo down to the 5th fret. I guess to accommodate Paul’s vocals?
@MPfrance
4 ай бұрын
@TR4 - What you read is absolutely incorrect. The moog had a ribbon controller slider and the descending notes are clearly intentional. On the SNL show - I believe George Capo'd the 5th fret so Paul Simon could use open 1st position chords on the walk-down eg: C - G/B - Am - G which made the parts 'fatter.'

I also liked the introduction of your guitar. I always wonder about your mic selection for acoustics, too - when do you decide to go external mic vs. an acoustic's built-in electronics? Do you acoustics that come with a superior internal pickup compared to your externals?
@MPfrance

@Cbcw - I NEVER use "an acoustic's built-in electronics." As far as "mic selection for acoustics" is concerned. I use either a small diaphragm condenser, large diaphragm condenser (cardioid or figure 8 pattern) or a ribbon mic. I happen to know the sonic characteristics of my four (usual) choices quite well (Neumann KM184 & U87, Sontronics Delta & AKG 414 B-ULS) so the choice is easy for me depending on the sound I'm looking to capture.

@@MPfrance We use Taylor's expression series on-stage for our tours because (1) sound quality is adequate; and (2) we pick up Taylors at every stop because they're plentiful and we don't need to protect or guard those - we let leasing stores do that via backstage passes. We try to rent all of our touring equipment and Taylors - from Croatia to S.Africa to Stockholm and back to Austin and Vancouver have the same feel for playability, and adequate sound. But in studio, we use rigs similar to yours. I can't get a 'growl' from a low E bass string, and all strump/pluck percussiveness on built-in electronics is too muted for the recording's final product. Thanks for your response...

Mike...love your breakdown of Beatles songs. But I must disagree with your assessment of the time signatures in this gem. I don't believe the "weird" section goes into 2/8 or 3/8. I think it's just a measure of 4/4 that is counted "One, Two, Trip-a-let" followed by a measure in three, and a measure in 4. Please consider my suggestion and let me know what you think. Either way, your playing is great and I really appreciate the breakdown.

Fantastic Mike …. One of my favourites thankyou
Thanks Mike! I believe the synthesizer “slide” was an accident. I read that some setting stuck and caused the notes to descend and fade. They liked the effect and kept it in. Also when George played Here Comes the Sun on SNL (with Paul Simon) he had moved the capo down to the 5th fret. I guess to accommodate Paul’s vocals?

@TR4 - What you read is absolutely incorrect. The moog had a ribbon controller slider and the descending notes are clearly intentional. On the SNL show - I believe George Capo'd the 5th fret so Paul Simon could use open 1st position chords on the walk-down eg: C - G/B - Am - G which made the parts 'fatter.'
mike u a real one imma tell u that
I like your back story, Mike.I missed you.Where have you been?Don't tell me south of France 🇫🇷 I wanna those countries god bless you
Brilliant
Great videos Mike can you do If I Needed Someone? Don’t even need to move the capo.
I always wondered, when George had the guitar in Clapton's garden, was there a capo on the seventh fret?
Hey Mike do you think you could do a rhythm guitar video on “baby it’s you”, I’d really appreciate it as I love the song and there’s not really any good videos out there about it!
George was no doubt a great guitarist.
Great performance! Which effect are you exactly using on the Telecaster part, please :) Sounds super!

@thefuzz - It's a ProTools plug-in called Voce Spin. I'm using a setting called 'Foam Drum' that simulates a Leslie speaker's 15" lower drum rotor.

@@MPfrance Thanks Mike! The effect gets really close to the real deal in my opinion anyway. We use your many videos as guidance when we play Beatles music in our humble band :) Thanks. Best regards Thomas
I also liked the introduction of your guitar. I always wonder about your mic selection for acoustics, too - when do you decide to go external mic vs. an acoustic's built-in electronics? Do you acoustics that come with a superior internal pickup compared to your externals?

@Cbcw - I NEVER use "an acoustic's built-in electronics." As far as "mic selection for acoustics" is concerned. I use either a small diaphragm condenser, large diaphragm condenser (cardioid or figure 8 pattern) or a ribbon mic. I happen to know the sonic characteristics of my four (usual) choices quite well (Neumann KM184 & U87, Sontronics Delta & AKG 414 B-ULS) so the choice is easy for me depending on the sound I'm looking to capture.

@@MPfrance We use Taylor's expression series on-stage for our tours because (1) sound quality is adequate; and (2) we pick up Taylors at every stop because they're plentiful and we don't need to protect or guard those - we let leasing stores do that via backstage passes. We try to rent all of our touring equipment and Taylors - from Croatia to S.Africa to Stockholm and back to Austin and Vancouver have the same feel for playability, and adequate sound. But in studio, we use rigs similar to yours. I can't get a 'growl' from a low E bass string, and all strump/pluck percussiveness on built-in electronics is too muted for the recording's final product. Thanks for your response... In the past, you've mentiong HB 12-strings vs. Ricky's - we bought 2 HB-12s, restringing one like a Ricky and it's rather fun to duel with both, but "not worth the trouble" in general.
Mike, if George were alive, and you could ask him anything about guitar, what would you ask?
Comes with a free ‘click ‘ track all its own :-)
Mike, I hear some clicking sound when you demonstrate the acoustic guitar! Is it your guitar or my soundcard acting up that's making the clacking sound?

Plectrum! Love it Mike!

It sounds better using a 12 String.
Mike...love your breakdown of Beatles songs. But I must disagree with your assessment of the time signatures in this gem. I don't believe the "weird" section goes into 2/8 or 3/8. I think it's just a measure of 4/4 that is counted "One, Two, Trip-a-let" followed by a measure in three, and a measure in 4. Please consider my suggestion and let me know what you think. Either way, your playing is great and I really appreciate the breakdown.

@bart - There are many ways to notate music. I understand your thinking but (IMHO) it would be harder to notate the music that way. I think my explanation makes it easier to comprehend and notate.
