[@macster1878]

Your a legend mate and sorely missed. Just looked up this song on the great man's 80th birthday and here you are with another brilliant lesson

[@dr123hall]

One of the best ... tutorials of a Lennon genius song ... Ever!

You're a great teacher. Thank you. Hope all is well.

[@zachyweezer]

you've taught me so much, sir. thanks for all the effort you put into making these amazing videos!

[@baby-yoda4886]

You tube only just popped this up on my search only now. Or you posted 10 years ago lol. Great example of the song. Learning it as we speak. Love this song. Especially when you have young kids.

[@coldeb8911]

Marvellous... great lesson for a beautiful song... I’m just learning it myself now from this , many thanks 👍🏻

[@DamianSix66]

It was a beautiful day today here in Liverpool so I went for a run and my travels took me past the great mans childhood home on Menlove Avenue . I suppose he used to sit in there watching the wheels go round sometimes .

[@hovlandbound]

Glad to see your video is still up here. I checked it out years ago and going back to it again. Thanks, again. :)

[@spidertheakronaut]

Wow with a wide margin the best tutorial for this. Can do it at a campfire or with a full band and the voicings "make up" for the piano not being there - thanks a lot, man!

[@cfmartind35]

Man, everytime I want to learn a new song more times than not you have a tutorial for it! I'd say that we have pretty good taste in music!!!

[@AcousticJamDad]

Love the guitar man, well done!

[@hovlandbound]

Well, going back to your video. I had moved on to some new stuff but love this song so much I came back after 2 years to re-learn it. Going to see what I remember! Thanks again for your videos!!

[@jamesyaun]

This is the classic Australian vibe.. love the attitude mate

[@gvillelaw]

Great lesson! You've nailed many of the embellishments that other videos have missed. Thank you.

[@rmjon23]

at 4:52: if it's just A at the 2nd fret, C at the 1st fret, then open: it's an A minor chord. Cool video man! Thanks!

[@nichoga2428]

Love to see clear demo on strum patterns. Nice song man.

[@hovlandbound]

Thanks very much for the video. What a great song. Was up at the cabin this past weekend and heard this song (acoustic version) and thought I would look and see if there is a video out there on how to play it. Once again you come through for me. Thanks again!!

[@tommeyer9995]

many thanks for a great rendition of this song. just recently saw it and as always, you do a fabulous job of teaching. your work is very motivational. Happy New Year!

[@braunaaron]

agreed, a great lesson. appreciate it!

[@freezemustang]

Another good one,Couldnt decide if the beggining sounded like "dont look back" or "imagine" then I decided on both LOL good tut though 5 stars

[@georgiarose16]

@InformedMisery I actually based my tutorial on Lennon's acoustic version. I'm pretty sure he doesn't play the Am/F# there, but I could be wrong.

[@catloveralways]

I'm sure it's not a Fmajor 7th either after the C. JL uses passing chords.

[@mvrichter1]

Thank you so much!!! This is my favorite Lennon song

[@joemaas8145]

Thanks man! That was just what I needed! I got this now!

[@morrisman99]

Thx, very nice!!! Keep up the good work, CHAPEAU! With kind regards, Morris

[@Gwyrddu]

@jaredwins89 That's what I thought at first, but the E string is open, so he is actually playing a D9th chord.

[@scottdocherty9989]

[@Adamthepainter1]

Well done. Thanks.

[@cwsiggy77]

sweet - thanks for this. great song

[@fabianmeyer6030]

Great tutorial. Thank you mate

[@ckhsiung]

Hey dood.. Long time subscriber first time post! You're a wonderful resource for beginner-novice guitarists.. I've listened to this song about a million times I personally can't hear the F7sus4(? my theory sux!) you're using in the verse(index pull/hammer on F7) in Lennon's version. I think it's just occasionally muted. Still sounds good tho. but ya know the purists might wanna know ;) I actually found the strumming to be the difficult part, he never really hits any wacky chords. Great Work!

[@tonyharrisson6823]

Banging mate!!!

[@InformedMisery]

Very good lesson. But for the "no longer riding on the merry-go-round" section I think he goes to Am/F# before hitting the F. So it would be Am... Am/G... Am/F#

[@olimc123]

top work son

[@TreyEthridge]

Great tutorial! This is one of my favorite songs from John. Just one question for you. The version on the acoustic album seems to be in a different key. Do you need to use a capo to get the same key as the album?

[@Brundret]

Nice one, really well explained cheers mate :)

[@TooLooze]

Thanks so much!

[@indianaxemusicandcreatedco8205]

Great job

thanks for the tutorial desde venezuela

[@thetask1]

Very nice

[@brettgill3292]

brother that chord shape that you couldn't remember is part of the D7 th chord on a standard 6 string guitar anyhow. 6th low E not touched here 5th low A not touched either 4th string being an Open D-string to 3rd string on the 2nd fret of the G-string is an A note 2nd string is the B-string fingering 1st fret being a C note 1st string is an open high E-string Hope this helps love this place of learning

[@89ZOSO89]

Very helpful, Thanx

[@davspurs1]

What is your name mate I've started learning the guitar over last 8 months and you have basically been my tutor ESP on the oasis tunes. love em Nice one

[@jx14aby]

Happy Birthday John Oct. 9, 2010!

[@player_name_here]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@domenictrotto5017]

I believe you may be referring to an Am7 at around 4:52-53 min, mark.

[@ricomajestic]

A tutorial on "mind games" would be nice!

[@LEVRAIMAC]

Great lesson! Could you possibly do "I know" by John Lennon? Thx

[@juancanobarrera]

Very nice. I think that chord on the chorus after the Dm it's a D7.

[@guitarbrenda]

you have a nice vocie

[@brentgerchicoff8084]

Great tutorials -- any chance you'll get back in on them?
