The aggressively strummed E major on John's guitar sound exactly like the record, and the Spanish guitar is just incredible

[@alparotti]

I'm in love with George Harrison's guitar parts

[@catloveralways]

As good as Beatles songs are it's George who colours them in.

[@arnesaknussemm2427]

That guitar riff is such an integral part of the song that it deserved a writing credit.

[@curragh4635]

​@@arnesaknussemm2427 yes it makes the song

[@bavedoyd]

Paul has said that it's George's guitar part contribution that really turned his song into a classic masterpiece.

[@bullseyecello]

0:26 the hard strumming I love it

[@JacobKMusics]

Everything is so spot on. You’ve even got John’s distinctive strumming down to a tee. Well done!

[@richm7410]

Excellent! That D as the final chord was a stroke of genius. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@apexerman1]

Yep, that D major was a nice cap to a brilliant tune. 🙂

[@beatlesrcool13]

Amazing how you were able to create the almost “ringy” (I’m really not sure how to describe it) sound for Johns guitar

[@patrii9100]

Till there was you, maybe next? Loved this one!

I'm a new subscriber and that was just awesome. Thanks for this video.

[@sampopkin]

Welcome aboard!

[@EmanuelMendoza-pv5mf]

Nice video, I was not able to comment earlier due to the fact that I got my braces this week and been in a little pain, and this video came out the day I got them. Today, I went to chicago Music Exchange to play some guitars and got the opportunity to play a real 56 and 64 j160. All I can say is that they sound amazing

[@colmanconnollymusic]

Awesome!

[@slfurnovkfcatria]

Always amazed me how they just suddenly slow the tempo and raised the key by a half-step on the bridge - and yet it completely works and allows the song to end in a higher register, yielding a final satisfying shift from E to... D?!.

[@Philtration]

Brilliant work! Had to subscribe after watching this.

[@ernestoaguirregarcia3693]

Genial, muy bien ejecutado

[@NatePhilipsMusic]

Brad Mehldau has an amazing version of this on his Blues and Ballads album. I like the black and white and wardrobe choices, bringing that early Beatles vibe 😊 Sounds great!

that last D chord on this song is good it makes no sense, but it sounds so good

[@LucaColaMusic]

The Music Theory term for that is a Picardy Third! All though I'm certain they had no clue it had a name haha!

[@robertoluiz8094]

Just like the original one! No more comments!!!

[@LarsBjrnen]

Great!

[@richardgratton7557]

I love it! 😊❤ There is a black and white clip of John Lennon strumming his guitar and making a face to the camera. I’m pretty sure it was this song. (I don’t know if it was a rehearsal or actual recording).

[@sampopkin]

That was on the day of actual recording!

[@jackennymibray588]

Yeah❤thats it🎉

[@RingoStarr39]

The backing track actually had George playing the claves. George's iconic part was overdubbed separately.

[@sampopkin]

Most sources list ringo on bongos and claves

[@RingoStarr39]

@@sampopkin Well then most sources are wrong. haha Ringo couldn't have been playing both at the same time. The claves are on the same track as Paul's live vocals, not with the bongos, bass and guitar. There's an earlier remake session where George tried to play guitar on the basic track but it didn't work out for whatever reason.

[@sampopkin]

@@RingoStarr39 I think their point was that ringo overdubbed the claves after the bongos

[@RingoStarr39]

@@sampopkin Like I said, it's on the same track as Paul's live vocals. It wasn't overdubbed.

[@coreyoffman8739]

Would you love to try keytar and tenor banjo

[@cheshipuzik]

I suppose there should be E6 chord instead of simple E after each verse (during "and i love her).

[@sampopkin]

I thought so too but isolated tracks reveal he just played E

[@mjobermeyer09]

Strawberry Fields forever should be the next song.

[@GusBuny]

I agree. But with a real Mellotron

[@BeatleMark85]

Hi Sam i'd like to get your two cents please. Do you think George could play certain chords that John maybe couldn't?

[@sampopkin]

Yes I think George was much better with his chord vocabulary, like augmented diminished and #9 chords. But Lennon did know a lot of those too

[@BeatleMark85]

@@sampopkin Thanks Sam, appreciate your answer :)

[@ric8248]

l don't think George is using a plectrum, from the footage it seems he is using the classical thumb picking tecnique, although l could be wrong, the Spanish guitar is OP but the anglican musicians just can't play it right for some reason 😂. This cover is perfect by the way. l think John played a barred A major?

[@sampopkin]

I’m pretty sure, the only part I’m not 100% about is if George picked all downstrokes or down down up up on the verses
