Here's a lesson on the guitar parts played by Paul, John AND George on this great tune off of the LET IT BE album. 18 pages of chart & tabs at: mikepachelli.c...
I’ve been listening to this magical song since about 1988 and NEVER realised John was whistling the coda of Hello Goodbye! Thanks for those deep insights! Beatles songs are like bottomless wells full of limitless wishes. And they always come true.
Another fun hour in front of the Computer screen with Mike Pachelli and my guitar. Always pick something up if not something close to what you play (well not too close). Keep up the great work..Oh love all the back stories, you should collect all of them and write a book.
Thanks Mike. As soon as this notification popped up, I dropped everything I have to listen to this. It is one of my favourite Beatle songs. It’s epic McCartney and John Lennon’s harmony. line is just exquisite. Ringo’s drumming just adds so much to it and George’s guitar is the cherry on the top. Ironically, I am just watching ‘Get Back’ film again and the interview with Rick Rubin. Is it possible to overdose on too much Beatle?
2:46 never noticed that melody was the same as the Hello Goodbye outro! I love Beatles self call backs and easter eggs so it’s a treat to learn about a new one.
Just in my opinion,George's part makes this song. His riffs are what we remember. But the vocals are Everly Brothers quality and recall the harmonies of P.S. I LoveYou. You're brilliant, Mike.
As always, you do a top quality cover, Mike. Thank you for all the hours that you put into reproducing the authentic sound of the Beatles and giving us all better knowledge of their music through your expertise! - James 🎸
Interesting-I hadn’t realized there were so many time signature changes. It seems to be well known from the Get Back movie and from countless interviews over the years that The Beatles did not know how to read/write musical notation, that they sometimes struggled to communicate their musical intent to studio musicians when they were brought in (a gap often filled by George Martin), and that they didn’t really have a rigorous or formal way to communicate time changes to each other, relying more on their instincts and their knowledge of how each other tended to play in order for the band to stay on the same page. Given all of this, my guess is that PM did not consciously do those time changes on purpose, and that it probably just happened instinctively as he strummed it out on his guitar one day.
Thanks Mike… the mystery I’ve been searching for all the years is finally revealed. Now I can tell my brother that we were both playing the chords wrong… and it wasn’t just me! Haha…!!! Thank you ou very much for the history and music lessons that I learned today! ❤❤❤ Rock on!!!
All the guitar parts, all the vocal parts, drums, what more could be done? How about the Paul McCartney vest and no shoes. Perfect touch to complete the perfect video. Just too cool.
Yet another amazing rendition & lesson of a classic Beatles tune by Mike. Just adds to the incredible musical talents of those four lads from Liverpool! Thanks so much Mike & hope that all is well. 👍👍
Thanks in advance for your support! And yeah - I watched the final version a dozen times and when I put it up yesterday, I noticed a mistake in one of the chart & tabs so I had to fix it and then re-do the entire upload process. Whew!
Mike, your tutorials are absolutely the best, especially with the authentic details. You have an amazing talent and give your knowledge back to the community. Thank you very much. I just downloaded 4 chart-tabs from the Beatles from your website. Keep on, please!
Man, Mike, this is so helpful. I’ve never been able to figure out why the C C/B Am section NEVER sounds right. I had no idea they were doing two completely different things. 👍
Another great take on a Beatles song. As per usual, there's way more to it than meets the ear (for the last 50+ years🙂). Thanks for showing us the nuts and bolts, and...gasp..the mistakes😁👍
I cant tell you how much I enjoy watching you play and explain these chords. I have a small 24 track make shift studio in my garage and I love to take what I learned from you "to the garage" as I say when I go to relax. My voice isnt is good as yours but with todays technology I can usually get a good mix. I love trying to make 2 and 3 part harmonies like the Beatles.
Absolutely, it gets a lot of criticism ( I think a part of the problem is that Spector overwhelmed some of the songs with his production choices - Let It Be naked gets a bit closer but it was such a problematic album that I doubt there is a definitive version ). Several great songs on here nonetheless. It's not in my top 5 of Beatles albums but I wouldn't be without it - I wouldn't be without any of their albums or singles to be honest.
mike, always enjoying your breakdown of beatle songs and i like to play along with you until i get it. i play left handed so i liked how you flipped it around, thnx.
This is not the 1st time that you do a song that I have been playing the last 2 weeks. Really enjoyed this break down, it's funny how for me, if you are covering this by yourself you mix all parts, and seeing how you break it down somehow makes it all (what I play).......-make more sense. Thanks for another great cover.
I've been playing this song for decades also on my 814ce! those different time signatures are tricky & I was just going on feel. Much appreciation to you calling out the time signature counts and also I didn't have the Am9. I used a pick on the 1st string too for the intro, but so much more pop using a finger. thanks again for what you do. another fab lesson.
An awesome lesson Mike. I know creating these video lessons takes a long time but boy have you given us top quality material to work from. Thank you 👍😁
Woah, I've been playing this wrong for years lol. The C, Cmaj7, Am9 section in particular! I usually sing and play Paul's part when I jam to this on my acoustic guitar but I think I played that section the way John does. Thanks for the very informative analysis of all these Beatles tunes! I learned how to play Girl and All My Loving and quite a few others the proper way by watching your videos. I appreciate the content brother!
I’ve always thought the Bass lessons for all these songs were missing in these videos 😂 now we kind of cheated and we’re getting Bass lines .. I hope we do 🤞😂
Superb stuff Mike. I always assumed this was written by John and Paul in their early days, like One After 909. Such a feelgood song with none of the cynicism that had sometimes crept in over the years. Nice to hear it was about Paul and Linda's early relationship. The song has a similar feel to Lindisfarne's Together Forever ( written by Scottish songsmith Rab Noakes ) and I often think of the other whenever I listen to one of these songs.
Hey Mike this was awesome I always learn stuff from your back stories. I just watched you with SRV That was Awesome👍👍👍You have been around so many Amazing musicians Thanks again brother🎸🎼🎹👨🏻🦯
That Am9 sounds dissonant to me or at least fails to blend when I play along with the original track. Need to play with another guitar. I never would have seen that chord coming. Always learn something new from Mike!
Sensacional! Todas que vi em seus vídeos ficaram excelentes, mas ainda não encontrei "A Day in the Life", obviamente sem a seção orquestral (mas talvez com o piano). Um verdadeiro Graal de Sgt. Pepper's e dos Beatles... ✌☺
Havw you thought about covering "I'm looking through you"? There are some very intricate parts and i just cant find a very in depth analysis on youtube, and just would love to see you talk about it ❤
The mystery to me is WHY DIDN’T GEORGE USE THE FENDER BASS VI on this? I am glad he didn’t don’t get me wrong! I think it was a little passive aggressive behavior toward Paul in saying “ I am not going to play bass”! while still doing it on his TELE and it ends up sounding great! It’s a lead bass part. Kind of unique as far as I can find in Rock to have a bass part played on a regular 6 string on a major recording by the biggest band in history!
You seems to know a lot background information about the Beatles. Something puzzles me for some time. It's concers 'The ballad of John & Yoko'. It was just Paul & John recording it. So no George involved. But who did come up with the marvelous double stop guitar licks in between the singing? Did perhaps McCartney hum it first?. Somehow I can't imagine John coming up with it completely by himself...or was a befriended guitarist maybe involved? This guitarplaying takes the song to a complete next level...imagine the song without it...

Anytime I need to recall how to play a Beatles song I come directly to you because I know you always get it right
me too

Same here, I love this song and have been hoping Mr pachelli would cover it!
2:46 never noticed that melody was the same as the Hello Goodbye outro! I love Beatles self call backs and easter eggs so it’s a treat to learn about a new one.
Just in my opinion,George's part makes this song. His riffs are what we remember. But the vocals are Everly Brothers quality and recall the harmonies of P.S. I LoveYou. You're brilliant, Mike.
Very meticulous deconstruction Mike! I never realized this song was so complex. Thx!👏👏👏
As always, you do a top quality cover, Mike.

Thanks for listening
Thank you Mike. Love your content as always. Very entertaining and informative.
I appreciate that!
Loved this lesson yesterday! Glad you reposted it. I'm gonna get the tabs tomorrow to learn George's exact part! Thanks!
Thanks in advance for your support! And yeah - I watched the final version a dozen times and when I put it up yesterday, I noticed a mistake in one of the chart & tabs so I had to fix it and then re-do the entire upload process. Whew!
wow, even the whistling at the end is spot on
Thanks for all you do, Mike. I rarely, if ever, leave a comment, but believe me, I´m always here referencing your tutelage for Beatles material. ☮
! just awesome as always ! Great pic of Paul, the back stories are always great too!
Glad you like them!
Thanks Mike. You’ve nailed it again ! And unlocked the secrets to another classic from the Fabs. ✌️&❤
Awesome sound-alike, Mike-- love it! George's parts are sublime-- perfect fit.
This is the first Beatle song i officially learned on guitar! Thankyou for the lesson Mike, great to see all of the nuances and techniques properly 😎🎸
My pleasure!
Mike, your tutorials are absolutely the best, especially with the authentic details. You have an amazing talent and give your knowledge back to the community. Thank you very much. I just downloaded 4 chart-tabs from the Beatles from your website. Keep on, please!
Thanks for your support! I very much appreciate it.
George Harrisons riff for me turns the song from a good song into a great song... just the icing on the cake 👌
Your lessons are ridiculously detailed 👌, love it, almost always find things I've missed in songs I've played for years
Absolutely excellent video lesson as always .
The attention to detail is unrivalled.
Judt makes you want to go and play it for yourself!
Man, Mike, this is so helpful. I’ve never been able to figure out why the C C/B Am section NEVER sounds right. I had no idea they were doing two completely different things. 👍
Happy to help!
Thanks for the lesson Mike! I learned this song by ear last year but it's always nice to see the small details I missed on both John and Paul's parts.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Mike, another masterclass! Your attention to detail is fab.
Superb as always. Thank you for your time creating this. Inspirational.
Another great take on a Beatles song. As per usual, there's way more to it than meets the ear (for the last 50+ years🙂). Thanks for showing us the nuts and bolts, and...gasp..the mistakes😁👍
Mike - I never thought to play that Am9 chord in any noodling in first position. As you say “genius”.
Incredible information and wisdom here, great video as usual. Thank you, Mike!
Amazing, as usual. You're the best. Thank you very much for all you do.
I cant tell you how much I enjoy watching you play and explain these chords. I have a small 24 track make shift studio in my garage and I love to take what I learned from you "to the garage" as I say when I go to relax.

Rock on!
It is a history course as well as a music lesson. Well done!
A beautiful song on a very underrated Album
Absolutely, it gets a lot of criticism ( I think a part of the problem is that Spector overwhelmed some of the songs with his production choices - Let It Be naked gets a bit closer but it was such a problematic album that I doubt there is a definitive version ). Several great songs on here nonetheless. It's not in my top 5 of Beatles albums but I wouldn't be without it - I wouldn't be without any of their albums or singles to be honest.
This song was always one of my favorites. Thanks Mike
Thanks mike for everything beatles
One of my absolute favorite Beatles tunes... It seemed like it was just so perfect for the album...
you are having so much fun...its infectious, thx
To see that makes me happy to be alive! Totally incredible how you break it down! You are a genius! Must be fun to be you!!!
Very glad to add to your happiness but I am in NO way, shape or form a “genius.” The composers of these timeless songs are geniuses!
@@MPfranceindeed! You are super talented and intelligent, and humble! I appreciate watching your channel. I’m very grateful for you.
Honestly though you are, how do you possible find this out in such detail. Also the interesting stories behind it?@@MPfrance
Brilliant Mike. Me and my friend recently did our own multitrack version of this.....great to see you do it.
Always had a special feeling about this song. Thanks Mike!
besides your uncanny ability to break these songs down, what always ends up impressing me more than anything , are your vocals!!
wow all your videos have me in some kinda awe most the time, but this song is so so good. Your cover is great.
That was tremendous, truly 👏
mike, always enjoying your breakdown of beatle songs and i like to play along with you until i get it. i play left handed so i liked how you flipped it around, thnx.
Burning matches, lifting latches . . I always thought that was a John’s line (lyric) . .
Great breakdown Mike! Thanks!
Yes! That bit with Paul’s Am9 chord is the missing piece all this time. Nobody else shows that anywhere. Excellent! Thanks.
This was totally awesome Mike! Wish I had you as a music teacher when I first picked up the guitar in high school.
This is not the 1st time that you do a song that I have been playing the last 2 weeks. Really enjoyed this break down, it's funny how for me, if you are covering this by yourself you mix all parts, and seeing how you break it down somehow makes it all (what I play).......-make more sense.

An awesome lesson Mike. I know creating these video lessons takes a long time but boy have you given us top quality material to work from. Thank you 👍😁
👍🏻 big ups .. you’re amazing.
I play notes instead of chords on a few of the parts. Thanks, Mike!
Unbelievable genius! You are amazing and you know it! Thank you!
Been waiting for this one! Thanks!!
Great work again Mike.
I already know how to play this, but I'm watching this video anyway. I love your videos, keep up the great work!
Amazing detail as always Mike but 14:47 off the charts good! Thank you so much.
My pleasure!
George's part is so clever!
more Paul genius. Manages to make an immediately delightful and catchy melody from the most standard chord progression you could think of
Thank you very much. I’ve always loved this song. Your videos are always spot on. Mahalo from Oahu
Thanks Mike. A great job, as always
The one I've been waiting for, thank you so much Mike, this is great!!!
I really dig those purple pants. You have outdone yourself on this one.
Absolutely brilliant lesson
Thanks again Mike absolute lately great
Man, you sound just like The Beatles, Mike. Nice work.
Great as always Mike. Thanks.
Superb,as always!
Love this lesson one of my favorite toe-tapping ballad, would love to hear you do Across the Universe
Woah, I've been playing this wrong for years lol. The C, Cmaj7, Am9 section in particular! I usually sing and play Paul's part when I jam to this on my acoustic guitar but I think I played that section the way John does. Thanks for the very informative analysis of all these Beatles tunes! I learned how to play Girl and All My Loving and quite a few others the proper way by watching your videos. I appreciate the content brother!
Nicely done. Actually all chords that I can play. This will be fun to practice with.
I’ve always thought the Bass lessons for all these songs were missing in these videos 😂 now we kind of cheated and we’re getting Bass lines .. I hope we do 🤞😂
Georges simulated bass part on the verses is similar to the guitar lick on Drive my car.
Superb stuff Mike. I always assumed this was written by John and Paul in their early days, like One After 909. Such a feelgood song with none of the cynicism that had sometimes crept in over the years. Nice to hear it was about Paul and Linda's early relationship. The song has a similar feel to Lindisfarne's Together Forever ( written by Scottish songsmith Rab Noakes ) and I often think of the other whenever I listen to one of these songs.
Now I’ve watched it and in on cloud nine. Thanks Mike. Pity the key is too high to sing easily. Btw I’m loving the purple trousers.
Great Tuto!
Great job, Mike!
Well, they might get Bell-bottom trowsers on my corpse, but not until.. Bravo, Mike! So well done! Wow, 1969!
Superb.
I liked how a few of the songs like this one had arrangements almost getting back to skiffle.
Hey Mike this was awesome I always learn stuff from your back stories. I just watched you with SRV That was Awesome👍👍👍You have been around so many Amazing musicians Thanks again brother🎸🎼🎹👨🏻🦯
Fabulous :) Thank you very much for your hard work!
That Am9 sounds dissonant to me or at least fails to blend when I play along with the original track. Need to play with another guitar. I never would have seen that chord coming. Always learn something new from Mike!
Gosh, I wish I could do that. I play it but not with those chord variations... impressive. I have a 6 track digital recorder and will give it a try.
George’s guitar makes this song.
Gracias profe
thanks mike!!
Mike please do Across the universe when you can 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Seconded for Across the Universe
YES!
Can't you just enjoy the subject song?
Sensacional! Todas que vi em seus vídeos ficaram excelentes, mas ainda não encontrei "A Day in the Life", obviamente sem a seção orquestral (mas talvez com o piano). Um verdadeiro Graal de Sgt. Pepper's e dos Beatles... ✌☺
Great stuff again Mike. C'est tres précis. So I've decided to name you "Miketiculous". :)
Thanks
I like looking at the flashing red display showing 120 V.
Havw you thought about covering "I'm looking through you"? There are some very intricate parts and i just cant find a very in depth analysis on youtube, and just would love to see you talk about it ❤
The mystery to me is WHY DIDN’T GEORGE USE THE FENDER BASS VI on this? I am glad he didn’t don’t get me wrong!

Que som maravilhoso esse violão cara.
Hi Mike
Thank you for the Lesson😃
Can you please do a lesson for a Django Reinhardt Song? Maybe Minor Swing?
You seems to know a lot background information about the Beatles. Something puzzles me for some time. It's concers 'The ballad of John & Yoko'. It was just Paul & John recording it. So no George involved. But who did come up with the marvelous double stop guitar licks in between the singing? Did perhaps McCartney hum it first?. Somehow I can't imagine John coming up with it completely by himself...or was a befriended guitarist maybe involved? This guitarplaying takes the song to a complete next level...imagine the song without it...
It wouldn't be a Beatles song without some small mistake! Even their misses were genius.
