- Here's a lesson on how to accurately play all the guitar parts in "I Feel Fine" by the Beatles. Chart & Tabs available to download at: www.MikePachelli.com
I'll NEVER forget the first time i heard it on the radio. Near Christmas at home. I was a young boy playing with toys on the front room carpet & their harmonies stopped me COLD. WOW. I sing~along with it STILL (I'm 67) but i know the harmonies.
I saw The Beatles in person at the Palais des Sports in Paris June of 1965 and they played many of the "Beatles '65" songs in that concert. One thing I'll always remember is right before one song George walked back to one of the tall amps and starting fiddling with knobs. Suddenly the familiar feedback strain alerted us that "I Feel Fine" was coming up. So they had figured out an easier way to produce the feedback since the Oct. 1964 recording session.
Wow, you could actually hear them over all the screaming?
Nice observation, and analysis.
to me No group prior to the Beatles was as inventive
they composed hundrets of incredible songs in a row. these guys were out of this world
202 to be exact.
I love your guitar playing, instruction, your enthusiasm and stories about the Beatles. Thanks for being you. You're awesome
James Earley yes I agree its who Mike is that adds so much to his videos, it takes a true Beatle fan to do what ge does I just love his enthusiasm
James, you nailed my feelings exactly!
Exactly !
Agreed! I just smile when watching your videos - thank you!
Awesome!
I’m nearly 73 now, and was playing in a band in 1963 when the Beatles music hit middle Ohio. No wonder we had so much trouble finding “the SOUND”! (I knew 5-6 chords on a ‘59 LP Jr.)!🤣We still couldn’t wait for the next record to come out so we could try to cover it. Many THANX for your efforts.
I’m 70 also had a band and feel the same way as you
@@herkhaston1915 Ditto here! Maybe we could start a power trio????
Thanks Mike, been a Beatles fan most of my life and was often annoyed/frustrated when people said ‘their early songs where basic pop nothing special’ being a guitarist I knew there was more complexity behind it and these small details is what set them apart, no wonder some classical music experts have eulogised over their early creativity 👍💙
their early stuff...nothing else sounds like it, it is a genre all of its own. Think about "If I Fell" what the hell? Nothing else sounds like that and it never sounds boring, each time it seems unique. Wow. I was in a band with a guy and we performed it perfectly, I never got tired of singing and playing it.
Every one of the uploads by Mike shows how much more there is to every Beatles songs to my uneducated ears despite the songs sounding 'simple'. Ty Mike for showing the beauty of the Beatles in your enthusiastic, warm, friendly inimitable style!
Even, and especially, for non-guitar players like myself! Without shooting over my head with deep, "inside baseball" guitar-ese, Mike's able to enhance the Beatles' inner workings re: song genesis and the working together they obviously did over even the smallest details!
@@bradsmack1 yea they put alot of work in where other bands would have said thats it😃
"despite the songs sounding 'simple'"
Indeed - and that alone is part of their collective genius !
The reason 'I Feel Fine' sounds simple -- on the face of it -- is that they were so tight and made it sound effortless. All those all-day, all-night gigs in Hamburg really paid off big time. Quite a few of their early songs have an effortless-sounding groove. Big ups to Ringo on this one.
I love when Ringo comes in on drums after the guitar riff.
Yes, that is a special moment.
Ringo never got his due as the solid drummer that he was/is; maybe because of the three other superstars in the band. I have a feeling Ringo didn't mind being surrounded by brilliance, though!
Ringo was so clutch always getting it done
Talk about finesse!
It's just a briliant song for that time, 64, 64 times better than most of the songs we have in this days.
"just" 64 times? I'd have guessed much much more times!
There are still good songs, they're just very over produced nowadays and aren't very appealing if you're used to classic instrument- to- mic style recording
Mike, you really make me appreciate the genius of the Beatles. Thanks for keeping the John and George alive.
My pleasure!
I spent 50 years or so playing that riff from the 3rd fret down, including open strings.
That's how I taught myself to play it back in '65 or so.
I only learned the correct way recently from actually watching John play it on videos, and now I know why my version never had the tone of the correct version.
Playing the same notes played at different positions makes a big difference!
In my sixties now. I remember the “girl next door” had Beatles records. I remember hearing Strawberry Fields Forever on the radio. Like others in these comments, it is only in more recent years that I started to appreciate the complexity of Beatles music. As a Bluegrass guitar player of very limited ability, i can see that the Fabulous Four made it all look so easy and natural. They were just unbelievably talented. They had “the magic”.
Thr Beatles were shooting stars that we still see the trail in the musical sky, and will remain visible for many more years, and Thanks to people like Mike that show us how complex their perfoemance were. Mike , you,re the best teacher for our beloved music, Cheers
This is why I have a 64 Tennessean.... Great tone and sound. No wonder George loved that guitar.
A Tennessean with FLATWOUNDS, I trust?
What a great teardown of a great song! I heard "I Feel Fine" it in a completely new way after listening to it for 55 years. Your tribute performance, Mike, couldn't have been more perfect. It is another example of your own genius. Thank you.
A whole universe of music with which we grew up. But what did we know about it, until Mike and the many other teachers told us.
this is just wonderful, Mike. Not only the best lesson out there, but your knowledge and enthusiasm as well! I've been a Beatle fan for 40+ years and would never have known the real genius of them without your extraordinary in-depth lessons of their songs. It is so very much appreciated! Thank you!
Like your comments about John. He once said I’m not the world’s best guitarist but I can really drive a band along. Spot on.
Mike...as a 67 yr. "biggest fan ever".. you are the best showing us the "genius of the Beatles."
Ringo´s dramatic entrance into the song after the riff is absolutely amazing. Can´t give it up enough to Ringo´s contributions. Like George, he was required to and capable of constantly changing gears, modes, and genres to accommodate the ever-changing MacLennan song styles.
As a Beatles fan and guitar nut I thought I got the complexity (and artistry) of George’s beautiful riffs playing off of John’s rocking rhythms and Paul’s melodic bass; but you’ve added a whole new (for me) insight into their varied rhythms and licks and as you call it “rolls” that I never before appreciated-Thanks!
I remember being a little boy and listening to this riff for the first time and in that moment I took the decision of playing the guitar, which I still do almost 60 years later. It's wonderful to see all the secrets shown like this. Detail, I never really came to play this song, as my interests changed with time and I'm dedicated to Brazilian music. But your first riff you never forget.
I always strap myself in for a good time when I see Mike’s Beatles tutorials pop up!
Mike, thanks so much for bringing us back all these great songs in such a clear an enjoyable way. You are amazing and you make my day every time I see one of your analyses. Thanks again and go on please.
Javier, Spain
My pleasure!
I find that many Beatle's songs are an excellent resource for teaching guitar students in the lower intermediate stage to new chord forms, different styles of playing, song composition, and musical harmony concepts. I Feel Fine is a great introduction for students to get a taste of chord/melody style of playing. Whether the students are young or old, they all find these songs fun to play yet varied enough to challenge them as students at that level.
I'd bet you'd win a competition among Beatle's songs performers if there was one. You give us so many wonderful twists and licks of their songs, that I for one, would not be able to ever see them, let alone perform. The fact that you also allow us to get the tab sheets, now you also give me the chance to follow and practice. Thank you ever so much.
GREAT NEWS!: Here's how you can simulate the famous "I Feel Fine" feedback note on your acoustic guitar without an amp! Do this:
Put your fretting hand at 12th position, mute strings 1 thru 4, and with your ring or middle finger "pull" the A string downward towards the floor and then release it sharply. It's sort of a side-ways "shearing" pull-off technique. The string will vibrate and in less than one second it will "slap back" against the frets and produce that shrill buzzing sound, emulating the feedback effect. Unplugged feedback on a budget!
I love your videos Mike; keep up the great work!
I always thought it didn’t sound like normal feedback but more a vibrating string with something touching it. Like plucking a string then putting your fingernail against it.
We tried it by holding the pick against the string. It was easier when we could afford amps.
That's a great hack! Thanks.
BTW, I have a lot of trouble stretching my little finger to play the riff on the G chord at the third fret and just realized I could play it at the 8th fret on the 6th' 5th and fourth strings. Same sequence as the C chord riff but on the lowest three strings rather than then 5th, 6th and 4th that the Chord riff uses (and the D chord riff)
Hey Mike, you are the BEST BEATLES TEACHER EVER. YOU'RE AWESOME. THANKS. PETER THIBAULT
This song is genius - especially the feedback at the start. John Lennon was an underestimated guitarist. The chord changes are amazing
This channel is so precious. Thank you very much. When I was a kid in Russia without internet, I was ripping my hair off, trying to determine how the Beatles played all this.
Hearing that feedback into the riff when it first came out in the 60s was truly mind blowing.
That was awesome Mike! When I first heard that song way back when, I was awestruck by the way those guitar parts sounded even though I did not know much about music. Those 4 lads from Liverpool were pure musical genius! BTW, really loved your version of the song. Next to the original, that is the best rendition that I have ever heard! Kudos to you..............👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎤
Wow, thanks!
@@MPfrance "No brag, just fact..." Bravo!
You absolutely nailed the guitar parts and did a great job of explaining them. I always loved this song. Its layers, hidden in plain sight and detailed here, help drive home why this song is great.
What is awesome is that you divide George 's part , John 's part Paul's part. That's one of many remarkable things you do that totally separates everyone else's technique of teaching these rifts
BRAVO ! Mike you absolutly nailed it! Who else anywhere around understands The Beatles and their music like you do ? You unlock the key to how they added complex riffs to simple melodies and why other have such a hard time trying to imitate. Someday your work especially as you have done in this video will be the only important historical reference available on how these four guys made those unforgettable songs. Thats important because we already know their music will stand the test if time. This is my first time to view the way you put all the parts together at the end and even the vocals. And wow! what a superb Job. I went to see “Rain” do their Beatle show and frankly was not very impressed . But I was totally amazed at your accurate rendition and even the vocals were perfect ! I could never make them out on their recordings and learned something of great value to me ( because I love to sing along to their music ) I know its alot of work but please make more of these wonderful videos for us. Hope you have many enjoyable and fulfilling days ahead of producing in your new Paris home studio. And you haircut really becomes you. Thanks so much!
I've watched so many of your video, Mike, but your love for the Beatles which comes through in your smiling at the camera is always incredibly infectious!
One of my fav Beatles tracks. What an excellent, enthusiastic tribute and cover. Thanks.
I have no idea how you work these songs out so perfectly, obviously experience but you also have an incredible ear. Thanks for sharing your gift with us all, it is so appreciated.
Mike, I really like your enthusiasm for Beatles music and all it's nuances, really an in depth lesson, thank you very much!
I salute your enthusiasm for these Beatles masterpieces, Mike!! They will still marvel over them in 500 years!!
Such a joy to watch and hear these early songs broken down. Thank you for your hard work and attention to the details.
George - Very kind of you to say and thanks for understanding how long it takes to do one of these lessons!
Love these break downs of songs I have listened to my whole life of my favorite band of all time. I have heard these song played wrong most of the time, more of a 'likeness' of the song. Your appreciation of their skill is huge. This is just brilliant.
More please!
Mike,
Words cannot express my awe and gratitude to you for sharing your artistry, expertise and painstaking attention to detail in all you do! I have always loved The Beatles' music- you have demonstrated the "why"! Many thanks, I am a true fan of yours!
Buddy, from The Left Edge band
Wow, thank you!
It just shows how inventive the Beatles were and that Mike is a good guitarist to be able to follow them so well . I’ve heard many people trying to do the Beatles songs but he can do the vocals and the different guitar parts / instruments and still sounds like them .
I have no idea who you are or how you became such a huge Beatles nerd but DANG if your channel isn't the best way to learn Beatles songs idk wtf is.
Love your channel Mike. Your enthusiasm for the Beatles is so awesome.
Thanks so much!
Thank you Mike, you made our day, listening to your lectures👏👏👏
Hey man, thought I'd thank you for your wonderful lessons. The Beatles are easily the greatest band to walk this planet I think everyone knows that by now, and I have dedicated myself to learning as many songs as possible by them, and I have learned quite a few from your lessons. You are very passionate about what you teach, and give me insight on The Beatles that I hadn't heard before. Also I Feel Fine is a wonderful tune. Have a wonderful day sir.
One of my favorite beetle songs of all-time
Incredible how you hear all those variations. They really make the song that much more interesting!
One of my absolute favorite Beatle songs (so much going on in that composition), from the great rhythm/lead fingering/riffs to Ringo's l
Latin accents on the drums! And Paul's movement on the bass! That is the most detailed breakdown of this classic I have ever heard. THANK YOU Mike for your incredible expertise and review! Mitch Long
Great lesson! I was 14 when this song came out, and it seems like only yesterday. If you have any arthritis in your hands like I do, it is easier to play the riffs if you put a capo on the third fret and use the barred A shape (index finger on 5th fret) and open A shape for the first two chords. You only have to move your pinky one fret for the moving notes, so you avoid the stretch. The third chord is the open E shape (with the capo barring the other notes), so the pinky stretch will be needed but easier than barring with your index finger. George's parts can still be played as Mike does it in the lesson. Another nice thing about a capo is that it makes it easier to add melodic notes along with the chords and riffs, if you don't have a good voice like Mike does and prefer to let the guitar do the "singing". Thanks again for the great lesson!
Mike, you are incredible......my goodness and all your selections of Beatle greats!!!!! WOW O WOW!!!!!!
I Listen to a lot of guitar instruction vids, but this was 22 minutes of pure excellence. The breakdown, play variation and information is impeccable. We may never know if John/George (and Paul and Ringo) basically practiced, jammed and then decided which “take” they preferred for the final or if they were all true geniuses (with Martin and Epstein) who did know every note, every strum, every version and they meticulously planned it to be as the final recording ended up. Just WOW!
Thank you Michael. I am a musician and a guitar player, and I know how much effort you put on this to get to this level of details. Your videos can be used as a reference for future generations on how to play Beatles songs.
Probably the best breakdowns there are on who does what on these Beatles lessons. So precise. And part of the magic here is in listening to the individual instrument breakdown and hearing how beautiful each part is. It just flowed out of them. Brilliant songs brilliantly and energetically realized. Just off the charts.
this is a treasure trove - all those marvellous details - and to think i thought I was a careful listener
This was the Beatle song that made me want to pick up the guitar in the first place. I could not get that "lick" out of my head. Great job, Mike!
Thank you for your lessons that actually show how the Beatles really played their music! Your love and appreciation of the music shines through as you bring all the intricate parts together into a understandable and cohesive lesson. I know we agree that the music can only be described as perfect.
When John tried to sneak that riff into every song the others would tell him, "You Can't Do That" to which John would reply "Don't Let Me Down" until the band got fed up enough to tell him to "Let It Be".
Here Comes The Pun!
What ever gets you Through the night!
I don't want to spoil the Party, but PLEASE, please me. Just give me Money... that's what I want.
@@jamesdewolf5907 Love it, but then I'm from Punsylvania.
@@scottmckenna9164 Whatever gets you through the knights in white satin.
THIS was the song that made me pay attention to what each was singing. And also, it allowed me to feel i could do it TOO.
Thanks Mike, I grew up with the Beatles and it’s great how you have broken everything down and then showed us how they played it! Great cover and final performances as well!
Ha ha ha, you're insane Pachelli! I love you man. I learned the Beatles when I was a kid in the early 60s by lifting the hi-fi needle and and playing over and over again. You are a true fan and amazing teacher. I've learned a lot from you and the correct Lennon/McCartney notations and inflections. Just amazing. Thank you!
Great as always. John, Paul, George, Ringo and Mike!
Thanks for listening
Thanks Mike. Great video. I always knew there was something not right about that riff. Never knew about the different variations. Stay safe👍🇮🇪
Hey Mike it’s great to have your back and posting these amazing full song tutorials. By the way your studio in France looks amazing and the production values of your videos, including the audio are through the roof. Thanks for posting and looking forward to more. Cheers!👍👍
P.s. loved your live blues clip from the other day. The band was incredible. Please post more.
Wonderful analysis of another piece of Beatles genius. Thanks so much Mike.
A great breakdown of a classic song. Such a simple composition comprised in a latticework of sheer brilliance from The Beatles. Listening to it now, with this fresh perspective, suggests that it would be just as popular if it was a first release, today! And your careful analysis is brilliant. Thanks for posting. 👍😎🇳🇿🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Mike thanks for bringing my favorite song to life and teaching it so that I can enjoy, internalize and appreciate it forever
Mike, your tutorials are the absolute best and always so accurate!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks!
Fabulous assessment of all of the guitar parts with your typical insight and excitement! Your patient methods allow for great understanding.
Couldn’t be better...!!! 👍👍👍
A beautiful song. I especially love John’s guitar part and the vocal harmonies of Paul and George. Interestingly, in several clips of live performances of this song, John gets muddled with the lyrics “I’m in love with her/She’s in love with me”; although I’m always astonished and how they remembered half the words in the first place. I’ve listened to ‘Hey Jude’ a million times but I’d struggle to recite the lyrics.
Hey jade is one song I can always remember the words to. Most of it just goes na na na na na na na, hey jade!
The whole lesson, plus song recreation is fooking brilliant!
The more I learn about the Beatles the more I realize how great they were together. All of the Beatle songs you brake down for us is awesome . They were ahead of there time in music. Thanks !!!! I enjoy learning, There songs.
Yes Mike, there are people that 'feel fine' about the Beatles music as much as you obviously do. I still get goose bumps & all choked up when those vocal oohs & aahs come in.Most people I talk to as a DJ say the best band ever would have to be The Beatles. And of course I'd have to agree. You have an excellent ear for detail.
. . .Mike Pach ;; is SIMPLY ;; the Best ;.. Has his Soul Wrapped Lovingly around the Fab Four ,; as NEVER Before. . .. Such a treat !!!! . . . . You Bless me . . . .. ALL ... Thanks ALOT . . . .
The Beatles music was pure genius. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦.
Thanks Mike for all your lessons. Great playing and vocals as well.
The instrumentation is so dam perfect that when you cover at the end it almost sounds like the originals...you do it all time..wow factor!!!
Thanks so much for this thorough analysis. The opening distorted note was something that just grabbed me at a teen when it came out, I’d never heard anything like it before, and lead me to immerse myself in learning guitar and the Beatles. 50 years or so later I spent many years in local bands off and on and now I know the ins and outs of this great tune and starting distortion!
Finally! I always wondered about the subtle variations of that lick. Mahalo from Hawaii!
Hey Mike, Lookin' very "south of France." Great video. I don't even play guitar, but I've learned so much about Beatles tunes watching you. And appreciate them more than ever. Thanks so much.
I wish I loved anything a fraction of how much this guy loves music. And I love music a lot.
Love this! Great instruction and such a timeless classic tune. They'll never go out of style in my mind.
One of my most favorite Beatles songs
After enjoying some moderate local success, everyone in the rock band I played in went our separate ways in 1984. I didn't touch a guitar afterwards. But two years ago I bought a cheap acoustic for some fun. Now my wife wishes I would put the guitar away again. Anyway, I love relearning the Beatles songs we once played as well as the many more we didn't. I start with the videos of Ivor Sorefingers, who gives excellent "campfire" versions of Beatles tunes on the acoustic for beginners. Once I've got the basics down, though, I always go to Mike for the master class. There are probably few people on this planet who know the intricacies of the Fab Four's compositons as well as Mike -- maybe not even Paul or Ringo anymore. Thanks for your hard work, Mike, it is greatly appreciated!
Mike you are the Man when it comes to the history of the Beatles!
Douglas - thanks, glad I could help!
Love your enthusiasm when discussing this stuff. Thanks for covering these great songs.
I sincerely believe your videos will go down in history as meticulous, consciousness, and painstaking acts of love for the greatest band that ever was. I know it sounds a little grandiose, but your incredible efforts will be forever recognized!
So cool how you show the Beatles songs and fingering, especially I Feel Fine which will always be one of my favorites. Thanks Mike. I cannot reach that high note with my 5th finger; it just won't stretch that far but I can play it in the first position or whatever it is called on the guitar. It is so much fun to play it with chorus on with the Beatles.
Wish I'd had you back in the late sixties when I was trying to play this stuff with a band!
Great job done here all the time Mr.Pachelli!Most entertaining too!
Much appreciated!
LOVE that riff to the MAX! Great work, Mike!
Love your enthusiasm for the details. Fun to watch. Thanks!
The genius of Mike Pachelli strikes again.......thanks for sharing Mike!
Great lesson. Thanks. Just love your genuine love for the genius of the Beatles. I feel (fine) the very same...
You’re brilliant, Mike. Making our guys proud
Hi Mike. I have been listening to you for s long time now and I really like the Beatles songs you do, both story and chords. Never stop please. I thank you.
It was Christmas (Dec.) of `65 when i first heard its radio broadcast on our stereo. My Christmas present was a Kenner `Erector Set' ~a boxfull of metal pieces, nuts, bolts, screws and small kid~sized tools. When the song intro started, i was amazed. THESE guys were MAGIC. I stared at colored lights on our tree and listened to `I Feel Fine'. Wow. just wow.
Thanks for illuminating all the nuances and details of “I Feel Fine” Mike . Your enthusiasm is infectious. I’ve been working on a set of Acoustic (instrumental) covers of Beatles tunes and your videos have been very helpful - pointing out subtle elements I wasn’t aware of. Always a pleasure to meet another avid Beatles fan.
Awesome guitar work in this one. Always loved it. Stands the test of time, as so many Beatles songs do. Thanks Mike.
One of my favourite Beatles songs!
Great breakdown! I Feel Fine may be my fav Beatles song, a perfect pop song with a great lick and great harmonies. Thanks for you attention to detail, Mike!
