If Lennon and McCartney had never met, John would have been a Sid Vicious and Paul would have been a Barry Manilow. The stars aligned and the world changed.

@Nobody_Important_Yea ...and since the different lineup would mean the breakup probably never happened, The Beatles would again play live, where Paul McManilow would cut his bare chest w/broken glass, then audience-surf while spreading peanut butter all over himself...

Yes! Love it! Thanks Doug. One of the greatest Beatles songs. John seems to have been fond of the arpegio style of playing on Abbey Road. Because, Sun King and possibly the next song you'll be tackling (hopefully) I Want You (She's So Heavy) all incorporate arpeggios.
@westfield906 ай бұрын
I think after his India trip where he learnt fingerpicking from Donovan a lot of his white album songs and abbey road songs were arpeggios. Dear Prudence, Julia, Happiness is a Warm Gun and as you mentioned several Abbey Road songs, including Octopus Garden.

Had no idea there were so many non-conventional chord shapes in this beautiful song. The backup vocals are heavenly. Thanks
@ronniechilds20026 ай бұрын
Yeah, the Beatles were famous for that. Well, they were famous for a lot of reasons, of course, but their chords--they have been driving me crazy for almost 60 years, trying to figure out their odd little deviations. They did it all the time. Probably one of the million things that made them different from everybody else.

Although this is an excellent video, I’ve learned how to play it with a capo on the fourth fret playing very similar notes, which I believe are probably the harpsichord notes. After listening to the isolated guitar part here and comparing to the finished product with the harpsichord I prefer the latter. It’s also easier to play. Thanks, though

Bravo. Can you demonstrate the guitar part from I Want You/She's So Heavy? 😁

Holy CATS! What an undertaking - and what kind of mad genius writes a guitar arrangement like that??? Oh, right, John did 😀 The kind of thing where even with the heavy lifting all done and laid out for you, you know it's still gonna take you a solid couple months to get close. Thanks!

yep, I lived in W Seattle for many years. even years before they opened up in their other location there. My old house was super close to their current location.

Thanks!!! Also, You gotta do, HIGHWAY STAR - DEEP PURPLE, with the Harmonized PARTS; consider, doing it with a Boss Harmonist and Showing, the actual 2-Guitar PARTS. That'd be the Funnest Way, but many of Us are doing a solo Loop Performance thing..., If you Feel inspired. I think can do it. You've got a GOOD EAR!!

I believe John used a capo on 4th fret for this one
@12footchain6 ай бұрын
yeah i tried it that way too, and you'd have to tune the E string down a step to make that work, it all seemed too complicated to make it all work that way when you play the A major chord to then fret that A note on the 6th string - but if thats what he did hats off to him.
@sampopkin6 ай бұрын
@@12footchain I think you’re right, those open strings make more sense without capo!
@theBuildingBlocksOfRock6 ай бұрын
and arpeggiating the F# chord also becomes difficult if sixth string tuned down. Comparing this lesson to the isolated instrumental version it all sounds spot on - nice work Doug!

I always learn so much from these videos. The first thing I learned on this one was that John played the lead! Never thought as much, since it's such a departure from his signature slashing, rhythmic style. Also, Harrison's "dissonant chord" is also used in the break of "I Want You ...", before the "she's so heavy" choruses ...
