I absolutely love The Beatles. I was listening to "Don't Let Me Down" and was wondering how I would Jam on it. After researching, I found a video of John Mayer and Keith Urban doing a cover at the Crossroads Festival. After jamming on it myself, I took a look at what I was doing and what they were doing on guitar. So here is a look at some of the possibilities to improvise with The Beatles. Hope you enjoy!

Please do more Beatles videos, explain their key changes and composition ideas. Thanks!

[@joelisaiah1419]

Another awesome video. You're very great man. You make things simple. Keep it up.

[@rossljensen]

I've loved that jam with mayer and urban, so glad i found this channel. keep up the lessons man, they literally rock

[@rossljensen]

I am a huge taylor fan as well. I have the koa version 224. I love love love it

[@Ditch1221]

Once again ,awesome !!! One thing this lesson proves to me is you this may not be your style of music but you can use these ideas in other types on music.

[@seanenglish3002]

Awesome lesson. I love that Taylor you played. What a beauty! Who knew you could sing pretty like that? Looking forward to your Patreon practice videos for this one.

[@carnacthemagnificent2498]

Great song choice for study, great video. I've been playing songs using tabs for many years and can hit all the notes on the page but have never really understood WHY those were the notes that were put in the song other than 'it's in the scale I guess'. Hell, most the time I didn't even bother to pay attention to which notes they actually were, just finger/fret combos. Over the past few months I've been really devouring the content at your channel (and others) on targetting chord tones, CAGEd, triads, all that great stuff. I finally see the guitar neck really opening up with new possibilities for the first time in many, many years. Thanks!

[@lamgefyoutoob]

Carnac The Magnificent me too, Carnac.

[@donaldfisher8556]

Ian this so great. I love it. Thank you so much for teaching this song and the structure of it. The big win for me is the because of your previous teaching I understood and could follow along.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Incredible lesson. Thank you

[@JohnnyBgood548]

I was singing this song yesterday! Now im jamming it out and singing it! Thank you Ian!

[@cesarquiros875]

Sooo good! Even like the mistakes. Gives us all more hope.That even the best hit other notes. Thank you.

[@anthonyifasi8026]

Great lesson Ian!👍

[@sup7998]

This guy should have more sub

[@CCChinaRider]

One of my favorites Ian. Always worth my time brother.

[@CCChinaRider]

Oh and BTW, Warren Haynes jams the shit out of this tune. Look it up

[@stephenbrumlow931]

Great lesson once again Ian! One of my favorite Beatles tunes and definitely one one of Lennon’s best vocals.

[@tylertyler5949]

Stitch you're the man thank you

[@jackh577]

Great video Ian. Loved how you added the box graphics to the video. For a visual learner like me, I'd love for that graphic to be left up during your solo. I'm not fluent with all the forms yet.

[@blakehimself2816]

Great lesson! I had this sounding good immediately. I just joined patreon...that additional content is tremendous!

[@maroofali2142]

That's a beautiful strat.

[@MrErgomaniac]

So much gold in there Stich. Cheers mate

[@DrD-fr6uu]

The best vid you've done......yes.

[@stewea57]

I’ve learned so much watching your channel, and the brown notes make me smile 😊 thanks

[@s2seltaeb]

Thank you so much. This was excellent. Your “in the mind of” series is my favorite type of guitar instruction video. It helps so much. 👍🎸🎼

[@robinwood5833]

Great vid, I have learnt so much from this Thankyou

[@bayareablues2255]

As always, a great lesson. Thank you, Ian! ;-)

[@robbrown2789]

Great video and some great fertile fields to have a go at :) I know the pentatonic always sounds good, but I still often find myself trying to play *exactly* what you play, just to help improve my own phrasing, to have confidence in what I'm making up. Could you do a video on this very topic? Just some basic ideas, like runs of x notes, 2 steps forward, 1 step back etc. are any bends better than others? etc. An "in the mindset of Stich" if you will, when you're just improvising.

[@seano2176]

I know exactly what you mean and tend to do the same thing!

[@robbrown2789]

@@seano2176 So glad to know it's not just me, I get the whole "pentatonic always sounds good", but there's still obviously a lot of skill involved, and experience, to know what *really* sounds good, or at least just some tried-and-true little runs.

[@seano2176]

@@robbrown2789 absolutely Rob! I feel like I'm getting better at it but people like Ian make it look so easy and natural. As you suggest, a few tips on how to make the most out of those 5 notes would be so welcome!

[@douglasfuqua7082]

Good !!! As usual and always, Ian. Crossbow

[@OzTwanger]

One of the greatest songs of all time. This song is about licks and fills

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

Thanks Ian!

[@MikeDGuitar]

This lesson is pretty a propos since I've been practicing Blackbird in the manner that Paul McCartney plays it. The Beatles really knew music.

[@yiannig3514]

Love it.. thank you so much!

[@arsenioberlin268]

Thank you for being such a talented teacher and musician. One quibble: "Don't Let md Down" has more than the three chords you mention. (F#m, F#7m and E.)Listen for the AMaj7 in the chorus, the F#m/B in the verses and the B and B7 in the chorus. Cheers.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

It’s not a quibble it’s true. I just never mentioned the chords for some reason like I usually do, I was just so focused on the jam

[@francescoottazzi8458]

Thanks 👍👍👍

[@Jordyracer1982]

Love this!

[@bowragak]

thanks stich

[@robdog1780]

Fanbloodytastic mate

[@robertthompson7689]

Hey Ian love your videos any chance of doing a deep dive on ‘get back’ cheers Rob

[@doggy7210]

Awesome!!

[@garyk66channel]

Hey, Stitch! Do you have a video on how to come up with lead melody parts for any song? I watched your recent blues video on combining different rhythmic elements to make a lead part, but how do you do it for other styles? By the way, I really enjoy your videos, and they are helping me to understand music fundamentals!

[@grantbob]

Govt Mule does this song quite a bit. You should check out some of their jams on it too. Great song - thanks!

[@dogzillamonster]

Fun, thank you! Might there be any value in exploring the Banjo chords played in ‘Deliverance’?

[@johncorner9295]

Your good man

[@camhaines5482]

Great video! One thing I need to practice is staying in time when there is only a backing track of drums or a metronome. How do you practice soloing/improvising while keeping in time with the chord changes. I guess you could loop the chords then include a part without the chords. Just looking for some practice tips. Thanks.

[@paulbivins6483]

Thanks Bro

[@Slimpickin4204]

Nice Strat.

[@snapperco]

Fav Lennon tune👍

[@eddiemattingly]

Since it starts on the 2 of E, the F# dorian would work too, correct? Thanks Stich!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Yes indeed, but may sound too busy for the song unless played by holding back a little

[@briang768]

It is the key of E. John Lennon briefly plays a B7 during the bridge which serves as V7.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Exactly.... I was going to mention that but never did. To the Key of E!

[@briang768]

StichMethod Guitar FWIW, I enjoyed your lesson. You taught me to look at the song in a new way and I like your tasty choices and phrasing.

[@milesmusic2272]

reminds me of November Rain by G&R

[@seano2176]

Eh? Love that song but this sounds nothing like it! No offence.

[@gabesouza6418]

So you were changing between the F#m and E scales when there would be a chord change?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Yes

[@old1rocker]

That was a shameless plug “ uncle Ian “

[@warrenmarsden-sayce3355]

Ledgend ,thanks for being human

[@arsenioberlin268]

Sorry, . I meant to say "the B and B7 in the Bridge." Either way,, it's a hell of a song, like most of The Beatles' original compositions.

[@nylieceraiford9334]
