- John’s mesmerizing guitar hook paired with George’s tight lead guitar make for a great guitar song from The Beatles’ Rooftop Concert! The two guitarists play their typical 1969 instruments: John with his sanded Epiphone Casino and George with his rosewood Fender Telecaster. John’s main A to D guitar chord riff varies throughout the song, highlighting specific mood shifts in the lyrics. George likewise varies in his lead riffs and switches between his pick and fingers at times. Both guitarists change their pickup selection at key points in the song.

“I’ve Got A Feeling” opens with John playing the main riff.. The first riff of the first verse has a slightly muted high chord strum (0:05) followed by an E note pluck instead of the usual low A. Otherwise, John is incredibly consistent in replicating the nuanced picking throughout the rest of the first verse, interspersing in an A power chord on the first strum of the riff. A quick open strum (0:28) carries him into the first “chorus”, which is just single strums on various chords.
John introduces a new variation of the riff in the second verse, adding in more strumming but still maintaining the integrity of the original riff. Every repetition of the riff throughout the second verse contains micro-variations, which I was careful to replicate in my cover. At 0:43 he emphasises the C# note before strumming the D chord four times. The next few riffs, he plays two A power chords before picking out individual D and F# notes with some strums. At 0:52 he lightly strums the A chord before moving to the D chord. The final iteration (1:00) sounds more like the original riff, with the three A note octaves played clearly.
Transitioning into the bridge, John switches to the bridge pickup and blasts out two twangy versions of the riff. The second time (1:09), he plays a C# note instead of the high A and plays the open G string on the D section of the riff for a sweet mixolydian sound. In the bridge section, John hammers out the chords, pulsing his fingers to create a chopping effect (1:15).
Switching back to the middle pickup for the third verse (1:30), John plays four versions of the original riff. For the fifth (1:40), he plays two low A notes before some light strums on the D chord. At 1:47, he strums the entire A chord.
In the fourth verse, which he sings, John radically changes the mood of the riff. He typically starts the riff by playing A, then E, and then some light strums. For the D chord section, he appreciates the entire chord upward before finishing on a D note, which he sometimes pulls off to C#. I tried to replicate these micro-variations in this section as accurately as possible. Before the “breakdown section”, John plays an alternating bassline of A-strum-E-strum, switching to his bridge pickup before the low E note (2:30). In the breakdown, John plays triplets starting low, walking up to a higher chord position.
Before the final verse, John plays a distorted, augmented version of the main riff, using a D# instead of the usual D (2:39). Sounds heavy, man! I believe this was no accident, as the same variation can be heard in the second rooftop performance (which can be heard in the closing section of “I’ve Got A Feeling” on the Let It Be... Naked album).
In the final verse, John switches back to the middle pickup selection and plays a largely strummed version of the main riff. At (2:48) he emphasizes the F# note and at (2:52) he pulls off from D to C#. In the closing section, John switches back to the bridge pickup and plays the same triplets. At the last high slide (3:21), he pauses before descending, then closes with a slide into an A7 chord and a final high E note.
George comes in at the first chorus, doubling John’s insistent A7 sliding notes (0:28). He performs a mostly chromatic walkup (0:32) from a low E to a D (missing a G# along the way for timing), sliding into the D note the first variation. He then transitions to the second verse playing the classic lead riff which slides from a higher A chord shape to a lower one before suspending the D chord with G. On the first version (0:35) he does not really play the high D note.

Having a watched your videos, I’ve come to the realisation that Let It Be is probably the best album for Lennon/Harrison interplay. They way they weave in and out and around each other is gorgeous
Good observation! The no overdubs philosophy to the "Get Back" project likely played into this!
Bingo. Like Aaron n Tae’
Cry For A Shadow? How do you sleep?
Harrison’s playing is underrated on this song.
not only in this song! Harrison, in my opinion, was a very underrated guitarist
Ahora lo podemos ver en el documental Get Back, f por George
who underrated it?
@@Dany-fj2oj Underrated by whom? Nobody ever dismissed Harrison as a player or songwriter.
You really don’t hear bands produce parts like this anymore. Was just listening to Apple Music’s top 100 songs of 2021 and they’re all just slight variations of meh and same. I absolutely miss the personality of music.
This always struck me as one of those riffs that you can get away with hitting whatever strings you want as long as you remember the distinct rhythm and it will still sound like the song.
exactly that 😭😭
George's little 7 chord and double-stop chromatic-ism at the end is just perfect.
5 months later, and I still keep on relistening to this cover. I’ve relistened to this so many times now this month. I just love that A chord of John, and George’s bridge part especially the repetitive bending.
as I’m learning this song I begin to realize how hard this is to play. Those A’s are really killing my hands! It’s amazing John’s able to play that A consistently throughout the song!
You will feel worse when you watch the Get Back doco when you see how effortlessly he can play that opening riff.
@@YamahaChris when they rehearsed damn, that stretch! Must’ve took him a while to get the hang of it, didn’t he say the Casino hurts his fingers when he plays?
John used to play his A that way on a regular basis. i stole it from him. Your pinky gets used to it.
I think Harrison’s part is way more difficult to learn
@@SuperZacco harrison’s parts are easy licks, Lennon’s on the other hand, it’s hard keeping and playing the A consistently without your hand straining
George Harrison was a guitar genius.
The guitars on this track are excellent.
I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside... mattiboo is back and satisfaction I can't hide! ;)
YOUR PFP THATS UNNECESSARY
Your good at rhyming I can’t deny
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
The attention to detail is incredible
George is so good god damn
1:15 - 1:30 that lead guitar is cool and solid 🙌🏼
As much as the band argued about how some songs were arranged and performed, songs like this on let it be turned out great.
many similarities with Dig a Pony
Yeah I noticed that too especially with that little A Arpeggio followed by a walking up riff love them both so much though !
For me, "I've Got a Feeling" is the very best song of The Beatles ever! And this here is an excellent cover ...
To understand what happened in this song, I must quote the Rolling Stones' lead guitar player Keith Richards: He once said that in his ensemble playing with Ron Wood, it may happen that it sounds like an orchestra. And he continued saying that both he himself and Ron were "lousy" guitar players, but together, they could beat any other ...
I think that's exactly what happened here between John and George, and Paul's bass as a third component.
There is another Beatles song providing this effect: "Getting Better" from the Sergeant Pepper album. But "I've Got a Feeling" is, in my view, on an even higher level.
It's outstanding. Two great vocals here. McCartney really delivers with the rock performance, Lennon's is beautifully complimentary and understated. Both serving the song and it sounds like God to me.
@@FiremanSam60 - I get chills when McCartney cries out, “That’s right!” That dude was on fire on the rooftop. Give the man an audience (of ANY size) and he’ll perform!
音作り上手いし、本当にビートルズぽい雰囲気作るのうますぎる。
THE LEGEND IS BACK
The song is just 🥰🥰🥰
Nice to hear the two guitar lines so distinctly ! Great video
Some comments are older, but you have a masterful grip on what George was doing on this tune. I've looked at all of them and yours is by far, the best. Congrats.
I recently acquired a bass and learned the bass for this song. I'm going to use this track to jam along. Great job, thanks!
George! Gotta love him
This was a great job, but the bend on that money lick that Harrison had on the break is George that it takes a really phenomenal musician to truly nail that. Again, bend lick are so personal that it is difficult to capture that bit perfectly. It is HARD. Great job with the rest of this most famous guitar duo comping. Fantastic!
Man , this is a masterpiece please continue!!
Good timing considering the recent announcement of the Let It Be 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe box set re-release. Looking forward especially to the original Glyn Johns mix of the Get Back Album. Also looking forward to seeing the full Rooftop Concert in The Beatles: Get Back. Also, great cover of this song, looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.
My favorite Beatles song yes
This is the best lesson on the Internet for this song
This song is one of my favorite Beatles songs
I love the grinding of George's and John's parts from 2:33.
Ooh er, missus!
A terrific breakdown as usual. Glad to see you back.

Description continued from above!
For the first verse, George smacks along with his Tele, alternating between an A chord and an Asus4. He sometimes plays “pickup” to the chords, such as at (0:43) and (0:44), while others he slightly noodles with the chord (0:47, 0:51). He finishes off the first verse by letting the high A note ring out (1:00). The second chorus is largely the same as the first. The transitory riffs into the bridge section are played with less high D note, and a low to high chord phrase on the second variation (1:12).
In the bridge (1:15), George plays raunchy double string bends to punctate the exciting vocal phrases by Paul. In the bendy solo section (1:24), George plays two notes before slightly bending up the string even higher. He then brings the note all the way down from slightly over E to D while playing a wild vibrato.
Triumphant in his bends, the third verse starts with a low A and chord smack. This verse is marked by George playing the A chord, then the suspended D chord riff. He plays the first riff hard (1:31), then smacks the middle position of an A chord on the second beat at (1:33). The riff at (1:34) is played lightly with less high D. The riff at (1:40) is played hard while the remaining ones are played relatively soft. At (1:44) he twangs out a high A note before individually picking on the D chord. The chorus is then played as usual. Going into the fourth verse (2:01) he plays a three note chord instead of the typical two note riff.
George’s fourth verse is quite interesting. He makes a quick switch to his fingers and lightly plays the sliding riff, plucking three notes individually (2:05). He then plays a staccato version of the riff, this time only playing two notes on the suspended D chord (2:07). At (2:10), he trails off of the high A chord and switches to the middle pickup selection for a sweeter tone. As John sings “Oh Yea”, George strums a light A7 chord and plays an syncopated version of the D riff. For the second half of the verse, George noodles with individual notes high up on the neck played with his thumb (2:21). In the breakdown section, George switches back to his pick and starts high and ends low to contrast with John’s inverted version.
Coming into the final verse, George plays some bold lead lines before quickly switching to his fingers for one D phrase riff (2:45). For the second riff, he immediately switches back to a pick. George plays the rest of the final verse with slightly funkier A to Asus4 chord strums, much like the first verse.
In the concluding section (3:07), George plays some single strums on the walkdown phrase from before. He switches to his bridge pickup to conclude the song with higher 7 chords with individually picked notes before sliding into the final A7!
The amount of effort here is astonishing. Well done man.
please make a cover of my sweet lord (george harrison)
Could you do a paperback writer cover please
Why did you do the chromatic part on the 5th string with only one finger?
I've been playing for 54 yrs and I always like to hear you play, You always match the sounds really well ( some of us do that) keep on 'keepin on Man. You always do great!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!
Thank you very much!
One of, if not the, best you’ve done. Awesome!
YEEEEEEAAAAH!!! I've been waiting for it for a long time!! very good as usual!😉😍
Wow!!! Awesomely done!
I'm so glad you covered this song!
Hey mattt. It's really great to hear the song against the backdrop of the incredible amount of information you always take the time to share. Many thanks. I hope that you are doing well.
I think we've all got a feeling...it's happiness. Good to see you back in action, Mattiboo!
genius in two chords. and much more...
Glad your back mattiboo with another great cover
Just that I've been waiting for! Briliant! Thanks!
That was fantastic!!!! Great playing, great tone, really well done!!
Your covers always light up my day :)
The detail in your playing is spot on, well done
Amazing work!! I realize the Let it be naked version of this song also has a difference in play style most especially for Harrison
Naked is a combination of take 1 and 2 on the rooftop. The normal version is just take 1.
That was so awesome!
Epi Casino...love those chords, John Lennon knew how to move a song with a guitar.
Been waiting for you too post for a long time!!!
Legend has returned
Brilliant. Many thank, mattiboo.
Great to see another video, mattiboo!
Just beautiful man! Thank you.
Good to see you back brother ❤️

Never really listened to this song, but this video has made me more interested in the song. Great video as always!
Nice work, my friend! Cheers from Canada! 2 thumbs up!!!
Wow awesome !!! I always learn new beatles' songs with these videos thanks !! Sorry for my english 😅😅 I'm still learning it.
Great cover again of in my opinion one of the best beatles songs!
Excellent as always... I have been enjoying all your videos. I've got a feeling is one of my all-time favorite songs, and your rendition here is just perfect! And I am very glad that you are back haha. I hope you could play you never give me your money at some point because I think it kind of epitomizes the time when every single Beatle was at the peak of his musical performance! Paul's bass, piano, vocal / Ringo's drum / John's arpeggio rhythm guitar/ George's blussy lead guitar... They are all perfect in the song. Thanks again for everything you have offered in your videos!
the king is back
Outstanding!
Welcome back mate!
Well analysed and really well played!
Great to have you back! Especially with Get Back around the corner!
Great job on a tough riff! Your tone is spot-on, too.
