Don't Let Me Down- The Beatles (John Lennon Isolated Guitar Cover)

[@bettyswunghole3310]

The way John and George's guitar parts complemented each other so beautifully was one of the many "magic" elements of the Beatles.

Sam I'm just getting home flip my phone on and none other than Sam the Man. This is one of my favorites of Johns. Love it and Love the way you keep it as it was played. Always incredible Sam. 👍👍👍🎸

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

It's mind-boggling to realize that this is all Lennon is doing during the entire song. Inexplicable Beatles-magic happens when the four of them play. (Thank you, Billy Preston, also adding to it.)

One of my favorite John parts, so simple but is doing its job perfectly

[@IanJudge]

I absolutely love John’s strumming on this one - a different guitarist might have gone more sparse, but his mellow but driving strum, his uncanny rhythm, and the Casino’s tone are just perfect.

[@marcosandre00196]

Sam, you should do a cover of I Want To Hold Your Hand. Also, you should see Galeazzo Frudua's lesson of the song, it's pretty accurate.

Simply beautiful!

[@Deadbuck73]

Beautiful tone!

[@georgefromhenley]

Never thought that lennons strummed like this. Thanks for posting (as all the others).

[@johnniebellamy5912]

Excellent 🎸💯👍😀

[@arissongsmusic]

A great example Sam ✨️ like Paul always said,' Simplicity is the secret to success' strumming 2 chords (with 1 extra in the bridge) nice + easy, while singing his ass off with feeling from the Heart ❤ and you can feel that he meant every word he sang 🎤 with great backing from the other 4. = A Masterpiece. The Beatles, plus Billy 💯 unreal!! 💫 Rocklove! ArtyThan ☆♡☆

[@JohnFerrytonSmith-r3e]

The 2 chords of this song are so complex, this song sounds like multiple of them! This is thanks to the songwriting genius of John Lennon and Paul McCarntny!

[@jimgish6546]

Don’t forget the B7!

@jimgish6546 my gosh, how could I forget!

They got a bus to learn it

Wauuuu me encanta esta hermoso

[@ashleygibbons6599]

you should do the rooftop version

[@743lplkp]

good

[@SATXbassplayer]

I think there should be a F#m9 starting at the 2nd Don’t Let Me Down. Actually try it this way: F#m7 -> F#m9 -> E -> Esus4

[@perhapsxarb7226]

It's more like a beat before the second "Don't Let Me Down", he takes his pinky off the D string. Fm -> Fm7 -> E

[@SATXbassplayer]

@ try using the F#m9

[@perhapsxarb7226]

@@SATXbassplayer I don't think John plays a minor 9th listening to isolated tracks

[@sampopkin]

I’m not hearing that in John’s isolateds. I’m sure it’s nice sounding to play though!

[@gdholmfirth]

Excellent. Now if only you could do a split screen of the two guitar parts played together.............

B7 is such a strange chord, and for some reason the Beatles almost ALWAYS play it like that.

[@variousthings6470]

Since Paul and George had to travel on a bus across town to meet the one person who could teach them a B7, it's not surprising that they made sure to get their money's worth out of it! :)

[@ric8248]

@variousthings6470 Haha l never quite believed that story but it's really funny Paul spicing up the Beatles folklore 😅

[@StereoClassics]

It doesn't sound that hard to believe to me! Paul used it to write "In Spite Of All The Danger".

[@ric8248]

@@StereoClassics I think the chord makes a lot of sense in In Spite Of All The Danger, but there are some very strange choices in other songs, like in And l Love Her, at the end of the middle-8 John literally plays B-B7, but he plays the B on the 7th fret and B7 all the way down in the open position.. hilarious and genius at the same time.
