How to play Help! - The Beatles

[@trebortrahrebe2575]

Dang that's easier than I thought. Those tricky Beatles.

[@KishorJoshiMCh]

:-)

[@BixLives32]

Sure. But the descending hook is waay off. Use your ears.

[@dondev54]

I always thought that descending riff was fiendishly difficult but now I see it's pretty easy. Thanks Carl.

[@JesperSalama]

Really tough to get it right on speed.

[@YonathanLeibovich]

That up-pick at the end of that riff changed my life right now

[@arcanesiren629]

Old comment, but technically, the descending riff is difficult af. George used this guitar technique called an arpeggio, or a broken chord. Even George himself had a difficult time mastering that technique. My guess is that many guitarists who cover this song can't be bothered using the arpeggio, so they just strum the chord at a slow pace instead, which is understandable. Gotta take the easy way out sometimes!

[@keithhawkes8465]

No, he's playing it wrong. Listen to the song again. He's close but no cigar.

[@keithmockridge3329]

Carl, you are without a doubt one of the clearest precise teachers, i have had the pleasure of joining along with. It doesn't matter how long you've been playing, there is always so much to learn. The BEATLES are classic.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎵🎼

[@claudemcwhorter]

So right.

[@johnthompson5034]

Many thanks. Been struggling with that riff for some time but the up stroke at the end has suddenly made it playable. It's some consolation knowing that even George had trouble playing it at first.

[@Ionizap]

I don't know what it is about this song puts a big smile on my face.

[@joellebrodeur1015]

I play it accenting that decending line while doing John's part. There's two other things I play in this song that rounds out the rhythm with recognizable parts that typically George may play.

[@conradkriel6279]

Nice lesson as always Carl - you have a great teaching style and make every song easy to play

[@Francisco50771]

Very well explained. Thanks. God bless you 😀

[@AchillesWrath1]

Short and precise and to the point. Love it, Thanks

[@EcoHumanist]

Just found this 16 years later 9-2020. Many need help during this Pandemic Trying to get some song chops back. Always liked this Beatles tune. Thank you. Stay safe, clean, and distant when amongst others.

[@oleksiishekhovtsov1564]

Don't wanna be a buzzkill but this is from December 2014, so from 5 years and 10 months ago...

[@markmcevoy3663]

Thanx for this!! I needed help for that solo, and ending!! Keep up your helpful good work!!

[@darylmaynard8397]

Hey Carl ...Appreciate the great little lesson ...The Beatles " Help" ...Thanks for brightening my Sunday evening while under COVID 19 "Safe At Home" restrictions...You make it fun to learn ! ...Be Well / Be Safe, daryl maynard 08/09/2020

[@synchrohunter]

Thank you so much for this I’m so excited to learn it’s one of my favorites

[@_Tang0_]

Great! I just needed to see the little lick between the intro verse! Thanks!

[@PauloLima-qr9hv]

The Best Help guitar lesson. Thanks for this pearl.

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

thanx carl, really nice sounding chord progression.....the masters of the pop rock song!

[@ZoeTheCat]

I don't play at all, but am amazed how you can jam (Bass, Rhythm, Lead) all in together. That's got to take a hell of a lot of practice. Can you add the drums in now by some hand thumps? Gotta be an octopus ;-)

[@leereddy6295]

Zoe TheCat Definetly possible but EXTREMELY difficult. Would be fun to watch

[@cyberbandcdo]

unnecessary

[@thephoenixwars]

Man I am definitely going to try this out later! I love this song!

[@nicolasrea2185]

Great lesson thank you a lot, gonna go spend some time w this song now :)

[@johnwillard6198]

Thank you . I love your lessons .

[@RAYSEEME]

nice , thank you , always a nice prayer song , that John slid under the radar .

[@jean-pierrestraub7530]

0:18 this descending little riff always sounds strange to me, especially the last but one position ;

[@66autocolor]

Nice little lesson! Thanks Carl.

[@egoncorneliscallery9535]

I just keepmy first finger on the 5th on the D string and do the descending chromatic line on the A string from 7 down to 4..

[@claudemcwhorter]

Carl played the Hard part about 30 times, never even messed up ONCE. He's NOT human

[@ReeseMac]

I like to end the song on the D major chord. It matches the vocal "oooh" that they sing at the very end. So , at the end , I still play that A major but on the last beat flip to D major on that final "oooh" to end the song.

[@rickstillsent]

No that's wrong!!!! The "OOh" is sung on an F#. so it's actually producing an A6 Chord. If anything, instead of changing your ending A chord to D (which will give you WRONG notes), just raise the top open E to F#. A D chord will produce the wrong sound musically!!!

[@ReeseMac]

@@rickstillsent Yes you can end the song on an F# chord as well but I think a D major chord works well there too and won't produce a wrong sound. The difference between the 2 chords is slight when you alternate them for the end of the song and do a comparison but I think you get the same effect with either chord. All you're doing is simply mimicking the Beatles final "Ooh" that's sung at the end which isn't necessary to do if you're playing guitar in a band with vocalists. But if one prefers to mimic the lyric "Oooh" I think either chord would work and won't ruin the song.

[@rickstillsent]

@@ReeseMac Sorry to disagree strongly with you on this; with the greatest of respect, Music Theory is one of my specialities.I studied Classical music in my younger days, and I'm a professional musician now. You mentioned ending on an F# CHORD. I DIDN'T say that, and that would also be incorrect. I said that you could add an F# NOTE to the last A chord, by adding it on the second fret of the top E string, producing an A6 chord which IS correct. But a D chord contains a D note (obviously!) , and that clashes with the mediant C# note in the A chord. Sorry, as I said, no offence, but a D chord at the end just isn't an option!!!

[@ReeseMac]

@@rickstillsent Ok. Got it. But all I'm doing is going from F#m to A major and ending it on a D major. That clashes?

[@rickstillsent]

@@ReeseMac Yes it does...that's what I'm saying. the D note in the D chord you're playing will be disconsonant with the C# note in the A chord. Unless of course, it's only YOU playing solo, in which case the D Chord on it's own WON'T clash with anything, but it's still the wrong chord. My suggestion is to end the song with : F#m >>>>>>> A>> A 6 (that's an A chord with an added F# note from the second fret of the first string.) Try it!!!

[@mathiastoledo5953]

despite being Spanish I understood everything perfectly thank you

[@humbertoalves9876]

Sempre quis tirar essa musica, valeu muito obrigado pelo ótimo video e musica.

[@bartscrivener4634]

That one descending phrase is the pure genius of George Harrison.

[@WorldOfRock4U]

Nice Lesson ... Thanks!

[@larrykrakow8927]

Thank you

[@KellyP56]

Great lesson!!

[@Allan-et5ig]

Great videos in general. I know it's years since you made this but regarding Harrison's descending run why does it sound so different both in live and studio recordings than what you (and me) do? Some sort of unknown zeitgeist? Lol? Maybe something Lennon and McCartney are playing at the same time Harrison is playing that fools my ear.

[@SadChimchar]

Exactly, it sounds different and kinda sinister when you play it alone... Maybe it's Paul's bass that affects it, idk

[@nicholasstrauss]

Thank you, Carl

[@joseluisescudero1084]

Buenísima clase !!!👍

[@MechanicalMarketer253]

[@kubazy4669]

Hey can you help me? On which chord can I change this B minor chord to sound good? All those chord like B minor are too hard for me.

[@isarex88]

I know its a old comment but if you still struggle.. Bar chords takes practise but don't skip it. Knowing bar chords will be really useful. It seems impossible but practise and you will get it eventually :)
