Click here for ALL parts of this song in my Beatles playlist! • The Beatles
This classic George Harrison penned tune by The Beatles was released in 1969 on the "Abbey Road" album.
The acoustic guitar parts in this song are in standard tuning with a capo at the 7th fret. This capo technique results in the song being performed as if it was in the key of D Major but actually sounding in A Major.
It can be a little tricky in the beginning to get all of the melody notes to come out in the chords so take your time and follow the picking hand instructions very closely.
This piece is beautiful even without the vocals which you can probably hear from the full performance video below. So have fun with this beautiful and uplifting tune!!
Thanks!! Carl..

Daughters 11th Bday today. She plays a 5 piece kit with 7 diff cymbals, her choice . I am self taught guitar for 6 yrs now and 39 yrs old. This is exactly what I needed in order to jam w her. Thanks dude!

I know I am a lousy guitar player but guess others too. So in fact 50 people have watched this a thousand times. Best "here comes the sun" tutorial on youtube period and I have tried 4 others before. Each pick movment is correct.

[@patrickroberts9831]

It’s a little hard to get that concept down, and your way of explaining is a little confusing. It’s a really good tutorial, but to make it easier for some begging players to put time stamps for each part covered, otherwise, thanks for the help sir

[@mikefinnegan1366]

Hey Carl, the performance video is awesome and it works perfectly with the tutorial videos. Hey Everyone, the performance video is awesome and it works perfectly with the tutorial videos. I love this song, what a beautiful, beautiful melody. George was special. Thank you.

[@juli1358]

Great tutorial! Most lessons are about just moving your hand up and down with a d shape and just "get" it. Pffft. Much better to see each string as it happens. So much better and thorough. Thanks...

[@miaplaysthepiano]

Watched three videos and this is definitely the most beginner friendly!

hi, i really enjoy your tutorials; your instructions are easy to understand and the two simultaneous viewpoint video clarity is right on- there are two other people on you-tube that are top notch they are very good and i appreciate them too, but i think yours are the best- thanks from nw side of chicago- keep up the good work

I've been playing the guitar for 500 years and I still can't get it right.

[@kletterkater]

This tutorial helped me a lot - thank you very much. It is without tabs, but you can see perfectly what the fingers and the strumming hand are doing. Always pause, rewind, look again - imitate - until it fits. Thanks a lot for that! A small drop of bitterness: The second half of the verse is missing - that confused me a bit. I watched this on another video.

[@user-fi6rj6sv2k]

Yes, definitely, I noticed it too that the second part of the initial verse is missing! Now I have to try to figure it out for myself what he's doing in that part!

[@calvinnguyen1097]

the 2nd half is missing lmao

[@henrynavarra3260]

a very instructive guitar lesson from SiR CARL BROWN. BRAVO BRAVO

[@VincentStevenStudio]

Thank you so much. I like the way you teach it. I already got the intro and chorus down but it sounds a bit sketchy I just need to practice it more.

If you tune to A443.5 instead of A440, it sounds just like the original.

[@blakegames6526]

If you're thinking about playing this on electric guitar don't worry it sounds really nice, just play on the cleanest settings possible to preserve the sound of the pick hitting the strings

[@OscarP-nz2it]

It's already been said but it is very very helpful to hear the parts played out before the lesson. If you've ever learned a song through youtube you always reference the beginning to see where you've progressed and where you're still off on something. Still a good video but it would be a great tutorial if it had the intros

GuitarLessons365Song you’re showing all notes and patterns slowly , very slowly but you don’t play the parts naturally flowing... so it gets really confusing.

[@hannahlee8299]

I have been looking for days for one decent tutorial on this song and I found it Thankyou :)

[@daveo03minduis]

good job but you should have played the verse at regular speed once

[@sesabean]

great tutorial, i just learned this from you. ty. but i would suggest as alternative to mute the 5th string on the G chords and at 11:40 mark playing 2nd sting open instead of 3rd string 4th fret. not saying you played it incorrectly, just a tip to make it a bit easier for beginners.

[@chrisiagallo]

Think that day has finally come :P Searched Here Comes The Sun Lesson & Your the top result! :)

[@bronzesnake7004]

My 58 (fiddy eight) year old fingers are like a bird's nest for the end of the verses so I came up with what is easier for me, the old sumbitch! For the - it's been a (long cold lonely winter)" etc. part. I keep the D chord formation when I start this song. For the first change - starting with D shape lift only your index and place it on fifth string 2nd fret followed by the 4th string open. Using a down-down single note for each string Hit the 5th/2nd fret DOWN once followed immediately by the 4th Open DOWN once. The index 5th/2nd - Open 4th starts on (Long) Stay in this shape - then With the middle and ring finger still on the D chord shape positions - strum UP on the 1st string 2nd fret then UP on the 2nd string 3rd fret. The 1st/2nd - 2nd/3rd starts on (Cold) REPEAT these two (1st & 2nd strings) with the middle finger lifted up. UP Open 1st string - UP 2nd string 3rd Fret The 1st/Open - 2nd/3rd starts on (Lonely) Finally, DOWN on 5th open into the A chord. That was as clear as mud, but works great for me!!

[@Molly-uy1ob]

I love this version and you explanation is very good. Yet I still find it difficult to follow the structure of the song. For an experienced player, this might not be a problem but as someone who only just got to this level of playing, it is a bit confusing sometimes. It would help if you played it through once. Other than that it's taken apart very nicely so thanks for doing this song ☺️

[@mattpassos5689]

Same dude this is my second attempt at this song and I can’t follow but the video is good it’s my brain and fongers

best lesson out there for this song

[@ni777ful]

This is a great lesson, but you did leave out half of the verse. I personally figured it out, but is there any chance that you'll make a video with the second half of the verse for those who can't figure it out?

[@brandonramirez7797]

Hey, I know this comment is years late but I'm struggling with the G part at about 3:12. In one part you keep your pinky on third fret second string and the other part you only play it with the upward stroke for the 2nd and 3rd string

[@brandonramirez7797]

Do you by chance, have a tab for this song that corresponds with this video, to help myself?

[@pks171]

Brandon Ramirez this is not exactly easy to teach but if you get the melody down, you can get it easily. Check out the tutorial by Shut up and Play guy, he's got a great lesson (Carl has some of the best lessons too so if you're seeing this Carl we all love you)

[@brandonramirez7797]

Phanindra I checked it out, and I'm still confused especially the part before the G part, and his G part confuses me even more. All i wanted was to clear up on what to do on the g part

[@dylanchan7913]

I personally don't do it his way. I put my index finger on the second fret of the A string, the middle on third fret of the E string, and use the ring finger on the third fret of the B string.

[@user-fi6rj6sv2k]

@@dylanchan7913 after some time of struggling to do how the man in this lesson does, I decided to do just like you described it, and it is A LOT easier and intuitive, because it goes nicely with the next chord

At 3:20 you tell us to hit the 4th and 5th strings, but you hit the 6th and 5th strings

[@calvinnguyen1097]

yea you are supposed to hit the 6 and 5th because your fretting hand is on the 6 and 5 string, he made a mistake

[@jared2245]

Did you include the second part of the intro? Right before the vocals

[@user-fi6rj6sv2k]

he didn't

[@janvonrichhuna4916]

he did not. But you can easily pick up on if you learned the parts prior to that

[@MikeFromNashville]

Thank you for this!! I finally properly learned. Thanks to you. Your the best.

[@MrBaconWings]

Hey I was wondering, the way you teach it it seems that the intro is only played once, but in the original record that intro part is played twice and theres a little pause moment on A7, right before the vocals come in. Is your version different on purpose in that way? Because i prefer learning through your version but it comes out different

[@AnxietyAddict]

I know what you mean. Carl has got the first bit of the intro spot on for the first bit. But then on the record it goes around again but it sounds slightly different before it goes into the verse.

[@user-fi6rj6sv2k]

I noticed it too, Carl actually forgets to play and teach the second part

[@Jotun184]

Very good lesson

[@LittleStrongBoy]

I’m having so much trouble understanding the finger placement, is there any tabs I can read to better understand it?

[@xXFluffyBunny29Xx]

I think a tab should be there but you have to understand it’s not a beginner song so you should already be able to follow along and know what he’s talking about

[@robertlee8042]

I’m 2:48 in and I still haven’t heard you play it so how do I know I want to invest my time to learn what you do? If I were making a tutorial I would play the thing at the top before I uttered a word. Is there something I’m missing?

Good teaching...I would suggest that you open with playing the whole intro and then explain it, and then playing it again...This is just a suggestion from one who makes a living teaching.

[@amplitudevalvulada]

Great job man! Thanx

[@RobertLailvaux]

Yes, it would be preferable and more engaging for the student if the tutor plays the song through in the beginning of the video.
