[@darylmaynard8397]

Hi Joe ...Greetings from L.A. ...Thank you for the great lesson ... John Lennon's "I'm Only Sleeping" ...Lot's of fun to play ... Appreciated, d.m.

[@jpm2u]

@Haycroft2 Thanks Paul, and once again nice effort on the tribute video. Makes me think of how much of John we all missed out on due to his untimely death.

[@WurstStarburst]

I've seen 3 of your videos so far. I'm impressed with your Beatles knowledge. Who was your favorite Beatle?

[@Frostie10]

Hi Joe, good selection of the John tune. It is even better when it is taught by you in your accurate, easy to follow style. Nobody does the Beatles better on KZbin than you! Thanks. BTW did you ever check out the video of Peter playing my guitar?

[@mikka1963]

Very nice. Another great song by Lennon.

[@librosdejoaquine.brotonsbr7753]

Estuve en coma y esta canción me lo recuerda. Greetings from spain

[@jpm2u]

@Cozycriter 30 years!!!! It's about time! LOL. If you play what you enjoy instead of worrying about theory you'll make progress. The Beatles have been my teachers and I always enjoy learning and practicing guitar. Keep at it. Thanks for the nice message and Cheers.

[@jpm2u]

You're welcome and thanks for stopping by. Cheers

[@susannec659]

You sound a little like John Lennon Beautiful job. Thank you I never realized the song was that simple.

[@librosdejoaquine.brotonsbr7753]

My favourite beatles' song

[@jpm2u]

@AngelJasonPeralta Glad it was helpful. Thanks for stopping by.

[@jpm2u]

@Frostie10 Thanks V. as always your support makes it all the worhwhile. I did check out the Peter vid and enjoyed it and envy the sound of your guitar. Cheers.

[@Rycait2]

Wow great lesson joe, fantastic thanks

[@jpm2u]

j anthony Thanks again friend.

[@jpm2u]

Thanks for the comment. The line is: "keeping an eye on the world going by my window". I might have mispronounced it. Thanks again. Cheers

[@jpm2u]

@fourcandlesinrock Thanks Mike. Your comment is much appreciated. Cheers.

[@jpm2u]

Love them too. Thanks for the post. Joe

[@jpm2u]

@8000cheese Thanks for watching and for the support.

[@jpm2u]

@samgoatfish Mmmm....It's possible you are right, though I'm pretty sure what I did is correct. Have a listen and let me know. I will be putting Blackbird up real soon, one of my favourites, as well as many others. Glad you liked the vids and are learning the songs. Thanks again for the support. Cheers Sam.

[@captainjohn51]

Hey Joe, I love the beatles, could you do a lesson on one of my favorites "It's only love" ,,,,thanks

[@melh07302]

Great Lessons... thanks for posting!!

[@songsupplyco]

Thank you for this very helpful lesson. You da' man!

[@jpm2u]

James Yarrow No you da man...Thanks mate.

[@jpm2u]

@mikka1963 Thanks. I gathered from listening to John interviews that he was simply tired and didn't really know what to write about at that particular moment and did this. Perhaps, "I'm so tired" was the same. John often said that he felt quite lazy at times.

[@jpm2u]

@MrBendorandoran Believe it or not, it's just a cheap Yamaha F-340. With fresh strings it sounds decent enough. The reason I love it is that it has a small neck and excellent action and is a pleasure for me to play on. I've tried some expensive fancy guitars and yeah they sound much better than mine but most don't come close to the smoothness and playability of the neck on my Yamaha. One day however I will buy an old well-worn Martin. Mostly though it ain't the guitar it's the player, eh?

[@jpm2u]

@seclusive Exactly! When I was checking out guitars, there were a few really bright ones, ( I guess you would say with much better tone), but for some reason I've always preferred more muted or compressed sounding guitars ( I guess people might say 'bad overall tone"). The only drawback is it is not a very good loud sounding live guitar. But for at home and for studio sutff, it suits me fine. Left handed?? eh? Just do what Paul did and re-string right-handed guitars.....way cool. Cheers.

[@MrBendorandoran]

cool, what kind of guitar do you have, I like the deep sound, I cant get mine to sound like that.

[@jpm2u]

Thanks and glad you liked the lesson. Peace

[@MrBendorandoran]

cool, what kind of guitar do you have, I like the deep sound, I cant get mine to sound lie that.

[@Adam-ro8vj]

Ben Doran it’s the tuning not the guitar

[@jpm2u]

Thanks and glad you enjoy them. Cheers.

[@jpm2u]

Glad to hear that and thanks for the kind words. Peace

[@TheMillenialLiterarian]

really great instruction, man. cheers

[@jpm2u]

+Jen McClellan Thanks Jen, much appreciated.

[@Versange88]

Thank you so much if you're still reading this.

[@joepac11]

Great lesson :) Thank you

[@MrBendorandoran]

@jpm2u Oh cool. I was actually looking into steel string guitars. Right now I only have a nylon string guitar and an electric guitar. I'm just using my electric guitar without distortion.

[@kevinpaul1719]

That was great!

[@goodtimesontoob]

You sound so much like Seth Macfarlane. Great lesson by the way.

[@susannec659]

I'd like to see your take on Strawberry Fields Been just obsessing with John Lennon home demos on KZbin especially Strawberry Fields and Dear Prudence oh yeah and Norwegian Wood

[@sohaoatki21]

Please do a lead guitar lesson for She Said She Said from Revolver.Only rhythm lesson on youtube.Thanks in advance

[@nydolls321]

Muy bueno viejo, la verdad me la hiciste facil :) muchas gracias

[@MrSahansdal]

Very good. A nice song, done right. It is "keepin' a lie" or "keepin' alive"?

[@rdekemper]

Thank you! 👍👍👍🎸

[@samgoatfish]

thanks joe, since i found you videos i'm learning 2 or 3 songs a day now! just one thing, on the second riff the last open e sounds weird - i like to play it on the second fret of the d string. i haven't listened to the record, but my memory tells me that sounds better. also i play a very lame version of blackbird-it would be cool to see the proper way sometime! thanks again sam (uk)

[@bobshaw5649]

Nice job!

[@AngelJasonPeralta]

very helpful.

[@jpm2u]

@MrBendorandoran Some Yamahas are priced quite reasonably and play well. Whatever feels easy to play and sounds okay is fine. Take your time until you find what you like. One thing though, try to find a guitar with nice wood on it. Do some research on the net. Some cheap Yamahas have cheap wood like nato on the body but others have mahogany, or even rosewood (i think). Mine, unfortunately, has nato. Good luck with the search.

[@jpm2u]

@ellalotreto What can I say? ha ha. Glad the coincidence worked out. Thanks for the note and enjoy.

[@jpm2u]

Sure, I actually have that one ready to go, just have to record it. Cheers

[@8000cheese]

thank you once again :)

[@jpm2u]

Gracias amigo.

[@georgebamber6871]

An easier way to tune for if you can't do it by ear is to put a capo at the first fret then tune with a device

[@MrSahansdal]

Ohhh! I have never bothered to check it. Of course! Well, Dylan used to think it was, "I get high! I get high! I get high!" not, "I can't hide!" in I Want to Hold Your Hand. We can all be *a little* confused ... :)

[@seclusive]

@jpm2u Actually I quite like your guitar for these Beatles songs. My guitar has too much sustain and overtones, it doesn't sound right for Beatles songs. Your inexpensive Yamaha has that Gibson-y dry sound and mid-range emphasis that suits the early songs. My guitar sounds all wrong on Help, for example, doesn't have that sort of compressed, percussive sound that John favored. I need to get a more Beatle-y guitar but I can't afford a Gibson and I'm left-handed too, which limits my options.

[@jpm2u]

Thanks and more vids to come. Peace.

[@ventasocr]

Hey i didn't understand how to tune my guitar

[@anotherorganisminoregon4999]

yeah your lessons are concise and comprehensive. you're not an egotistical fat-head either.

[@jpm2u]

+Another Organism in Oregon Thanks! my wife says my head is more zucchini shaped. Cheers

[@dijonstreak]

...thank YOU so much. !! now i can throw away the stupid Beatles Songbooks that have pretty weird chords that don't even SOUND like the song. !! Free at Last. !!

[@jorgek92]

I think you haven't tuned your guitar properly in half step down, you shoud have used a proper tuner. Anyway, good job :)

[@jpm2u]

Thanks.
