Listen to What the Man Said (Lesson) - Paul McCartney & Wings

[@peterbulloch4328]

I heard this track on the radio today driving my special needs kids home from school and thought I'd love to play this one and man you made it simple, thank you!

[@dougharding6604]

Just thought I'd again give thanks. Fell upon this again and boy. What a gem.

[@dougharding6604]

Brutha ...you win the internet guitar world today.... Thanks my friend

[@crisprtalk6963]

I remember hearing this all the time on AM radio!

[@emlyngriffith5846]

Another great arrangement......amazing how much of our musical tastes are identical.....good work! 👍🍷

[@davidr.5789]

My favorite song from Paul. With "Waterfalls"

[@pinkdoughnut869]

One Of the best songs ever

[@michaelwray1034]

Brilliant as ever.

[@xav9156]

JJ, Thanks for this great lesson on a classic song. Macca had a knack (still does) for very melodic tunes.

[@Diozoso]

A song from my childhood

[@mikeyj.3605]

I really appreciate the songs you do JJ. God bless the acoustic guitar.

[@danny1959]

There is a guitar on the studio one, and it is played by the great Dave Mason.

[@robmacdonaldonline]

Thank you for this high quality content. All the other youtubers who made a similar tutorial should have watched yours first.

[@buff_Jeckley17]

i’m glad i found this, and your channel, JJ. this is one of my favorite wings songs

[@abrahama2643]

Thank you for this. I was only planning to strum the chords, but when I seen you play the "doo doo doo" part it blew my mind how playable it is. Such a cool acoustic riff.

[@joely225]

This is just excellent. Thank you for putting this out.

[@johnpolhert5166]

Thank you james 🎉🎉

[@trevormahovsky1263]

So great - thank you!!

[@darinplott5186]

Awesome arrangement JJ. I will be working in this along with your lesson for Lola.

[@robertparent2966]

Always look forward to Sunday. Problem..always excited to try latest download and leave the others undone:)

[@OzTwanger]

Just another gem from Macca. Can’t think of another song with that type of sound. The D with the open B is used on “The Fool On the Hill”

[@fatandbaldwithglasses1287]

Great !!! Thanks for sharing this riff !

[@josephmarino2654]

Thanks James, one of my favorites.

[@alexo1998]

That Guild sounds massive.

[@snarkleton26]

Yeah a 12-string's resonance with just 6.

[@knowledgeoverfear4971]

[@rubensnetto5331]

Got It. Thanks !! Love this song!

[@brinkybrinkz]

Very Cool! Reminds me of my youth when everything was much different. This is a great song, it is neat to see how it is played. I'm going to try to give this a shot, thank you for the great lesson! Hopefully I can learn this properly in a couple months.

[@leetarrant7171]

Great lesson thanks

[@dr.hookyeah2883]

Thanks JJ. Not the most complicated thing but a very creative arrangement!

[@floydsmithjr7999]

Thanks, for years off and on Ive been trying to figure out how to get that riff into solo guitar, its so simple, 😖 sometimes I wonder if I have a learning disability Thanks, you’re the best

[@jelau4851]

Paul was such a Curious Mind , always on the look-out for New Sounds.

[@musicsoundelectronics5590]

Very nice arrangement!

[@TM-lu1fu]

Good stuff.

[@timuraryngazy1110]

Awesome!

[@eddiejr540]

A Jim Palmer jersey ??...you are way too cool....and the playing and teaching is great as well...cheers from Baltimore!!!!!!

[@jamesjames9275]

I grew up in Bowie, so I'm a big JP fan from way back.

[@ysfkfnd]

I listened what James James said...

[@alanmcclelland5245]

Happy Sunday out there in JJ land. Far from me to comment on the "Master" but I don't hear the 4 (B) to 3 (A# ) on the G string on the intro. I thought coming out of the b at 3(D) I hear the 3 4 on the D as you play it but then I feel I want to go to a lower tone 7 5 5 on the A string. Checked the song per Wings and I'm sorry I doubted you Obe Wan. This song brings back so many great memories from the Wings concert. Thank you James.

[@jamesjames9275]

As I noted, this is my own arrangement. Beyond that, I’m doing the harmony line for the purpose of creating an exercise. You can’t do your version as a constant strum. But play it however you wish.

[@ST-xg3gy]

Clever stuff from Macca!

[@OzTwanger]

“That is the riff” for sure

[@MrAdamJoel]

Macca!

[@youngticoi]

Great lesson, a lot to work on. Nice arrangement. How long did it take you to create the arrangement?

[@jamesjames9275]

5 minutes or so. But it took 30 years to get to the point where it only takes 5 minutes to do that.

[@youngticoi]

@@jamesjames9275 Well if your going to use years of hard work and talent to explain it I have no chance LOL

[@Teleman73]

Just recently heard Dave Mason is on guitar on that track, from Dave himself on his fb page.

[@TheStupidLemons]

Could anyone tell me what guitar he uses in the Joni Mitchell coyote tutorial, he also had it in that 10 years of privettricker/james james video, would really appreciate it, thank you.

[@jamesjames9275]

That’s a Martin D41.

[@TheStupidLemons]

Very nice guitar, thanks for the reply and the tutorials mate.

[@SeekerGoOn2013]

Sometimes I have to “fast forward” on my axe like that too.
