The Beatles - I'll Cry Instead LESSON by Mike Pachelli

[@ARWest-bp4yb]

I have even more respect for George's playing and technique with every one of Mike's expert analyses. 👍👍👍👍

[@martynspooner5822]

Nobody does Beatles breakdowns like this man , simply the best i have ever come across anywhere the interweb included. Thanks for sharing your brilliant work.

[@neverforget6523]

Nearly forgotten Beatles' songs that never rised up in the charts. These lessons bring them back where they deserve to be.

[@keithgeorge2541]

There will never be another band as fantastic as the Fab Four! Another great breakdown by Mike.

[@MPfrance]

Couldn't agree more!

[@taylormedia1000]

I was around when the all the albums where released and want to thank you for keeping the songs alive and available to new generous generations.

[@flankerroad7414]

Always liked this song!! To me it captured the energy and sound of the early Beatles. Thank you Mike.

[@guarddave]

George's electric guitar on this song grabbed me the first time I heard it, and it has never let go....magic! Another great tutorial, Mr. Pachelli!

[@ronniechilds2002]

Yes, that's the operative word, magic. A lot of people made music, and some of it was very good. But only the Beatles made magic. How they did it is still not known. I bet they didn't even know.

[@newerafrican]

Another lesser known gem from the Beatles. Their depth, variety and quality is unmatched.

[@johnmaer]

I think the choice of Can't Buy Me Love for the frolic in the park scene can't be questioned.....that song was perfect. However, Cry Instead is still one of my strongest musical recollections from Hard Day's Night....joining Happy Just to Dance with You and I Should Have Known Better as favorite tracks associated with Hard Night film. All joyous and toe-tapping melodies, and distinctively The Beatles.

[@sapelesteve]

Yet another fantastic Beatles lesson Mike! Let's face the facts that the Beatles were and always will be the greatest band in musical history. No other band even comes close IMHO! Anyway, hope that you have a great day and are doing well. 👍👍

[@hudsonrilke]

This is from a truly great album. The energy and quality is outstanding. Your lessons are always fab.

[@snowfiresunwind]

Another great video Mike. Hard Days Night album was a game changer for pop music and song writing.

[@allenf.5907]

So much agree.

[@WillyPDX94]

Can't wait to work on this using the tabs. You're the Rosetta Stone of Beatles music, Mike. What you're doing for Beatles devotees like me is beyond anything we could hope for. Thank you for all you do! ✌➕❤

[@DrMattWalton]

I’ve always loved this song even though it gets overshadowed by everything else they did. What makes this song so great is George’s guitar part. I had always assumed his part was more substantial but in reality it’s really just little bits and pieces. He puts the color into an otherwise black and white painting. Thanks Mike for deciphering the code of George.

[@chirilas5217]

Just great teaching Mike. You are special teacher. Very good, and well played by these 4 Mikes.😂👍👏

[@MichaelSmith-rn1qw]

Interesting oddity: The version of this song on the US (Capitol) album "Something New" contains an additional verse compared to the Parlophone album, accordingly the running time on the Capitol album is about 20 seconds longer. On the Parlophone album, the song structure is V1, V2, Chorus, V3, Chorus, V4. On the Capitol album, it's V1, V2, Chorus, V3, V4 (which is a repeat of V1), Chorus, V5.

[@Brucemcleod2345]

I love this song. It was one my first favourite songs off my Dads Hard Days Night album. This was the first album I played as a kid. We used to thrash this song and a Hard Days night on the record player and practiced playing our own band as kids.

[@buddhamus]

"I'll Cry Instead" was also included on The Beatles' "Something New" album, their 3rd release on Capitol Records (it was released around the same time as "A Hard Days Night" movie, and "the official" soundtrack album were released). "Something New" was my first Beatles album and the very first album I'd own (I was around 8y/o at the time), so this song, and John's vocals, means a lot to me. Thank you for doing this breakdown of the song.

[@kryp44]

Something New was also my first Beatles album my parents bought me back then.

[@ginobass66]

Wahooo, LOVE this song!!! Always was in love with Georges guitar part. Grazie mille Mike!!!!

[@rkardos4220]

This is such a great song that sounds so sweet, but in Lennon style is rather complex dealing with breakup and hurt all within 2 minutes. Brilliant

[@stringmantony]

You never cease to amaze with these lessons mike!

[@jeffj318]

Thank you, Mike, for this great lesson. Music changed forever with The Beatles. I was 14 when I first heard The Beatles and knew there was something special going on.

[@questfortruth665]

This is one of the Beatle's "sleeper hits"!! Thanks, Mike, for reintroducing it for us all!!

[@Hammerman48]

Thanks Mike. Always loved that track. Kind of buried on the B side of A Hard Day’s Night. George’s parts stand out as always!

[@patrickstar8504]

Hi Mike, brilliant as always! Thanks!!! Any chance of learning us 'She Said She Said' next?

[@Dr_Debentobox]

I would love to get a breakdown of She Said She Said

[@DHudelson]

I guess that'd be less challenging than Revolution #9, at any rate.

[@gwandao]

Where would Lennon and McCartney have been without George Harrison’s memorable guitar parts. They added so much but are often so simple and relatively uncomplicated. Another great song, thanks. Be interesting Mike when you get around to Let it Be which one of George’s guitar solos you decide to play. For me the album version.

[@vsalvato53]

Thanks for what you are doing...Great to revive and uncover some hidden gems of our '60es music.

[@MPfrance]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@1ouncebird]

This is great Mike. I have always loved how this song sounds and while all of the parts are needed there is just something else about George's parts that make this tune jump. The sound they were getting in those days is quite something - great guitar tones - in my opinion. Oh, and in the final, all parts together, video at the end a very special shout out to the tambourine part in the center. That was fabulous!

[@gregjhart]

Fabulous thanks Mike

[@sejrec56]

You always look like you’re having such fun doing Beatles songs

[@BuffaloC305]

Amazing - recorded June 1 and mastered June 4th, then pressed and released in July. Just amazing.

[@BuffaloC305]

By the way, when bands pop this song out in their setlists - especially non-cover bands - this always fills the dance floors and audiences may hit their loudest-ever points.

[@guitarandbeyondplus]

Mike merci and Thanks again. I think I'm basically lazy or that I have a too short attention span to work out these Beatle songs as you do. You are saving me hours of work. Great stuff.

[@frankb518]

Great cover! I was born in 1958, in NYC. My Mom's youngest sister, my Aunt Eileen went to college in 66'. And gave me some of her vinyls, mainly the Beatles and had most of those albums. Played along with " box" drums,. And in 1970 got my first cheap guitar. L.o.l...... one of there songs that sticks out in my mind, as far as playing it is " Day Tripper" Great break down Mike !

[@ralphseichter1960]

Thanks for all your method precise and pedagogical! Really excellent! I'm German and I can follow your English very well. ❤🎉

Thanks, Mike. There will be one more good song for me to play 👍

[@christophersemmens7059]

Absolutely love your stuff Mike. In 1964 I was mowing lawns to save the 15/6 to buy my Beatles EPs. One of my favourites is John's languid Gibson playing on "I'm Only Sleeping." Given the imminent new Revolver release - could you give it your treatment? Chris from Perth, Western Australia

[@MPfrance]

Thanks and in 1964 I had a paper route to buy the records! "I'm Only Sleeping" is on my to-do list already.

[@jerrymilam9809]

1st time I’ve seen you dude. Fantastic job of showing the world of the fab 4 and their music!!😊

[@slidhome]

Yes. It is a simple chord structure. But George's part is quite indicrite. You did a great job with it. You've said it before, but it cannot be said enough that the things these boys were doing in the early 1960s were way beyond both their youth and the times. How many times do you see a bass player essentially backing the rhythm by playing two strings at once as McCartney did in that very short.part of I Want to Hold Your Hand ? I think they all were way ahead of their time, including I'll Cry Instead.

[@makifrank1809]

Brilliant again!

[@NickT1023]

Always interested in learning what gear was used in terms of guitars and amps. What I would love to know is what guitar strings, brand/gauge/wound, we’re used. As a pre-teen learning guitar, 13’s were the standard on acoustic with round wounds on the g-string. After 1 verse of playing, my fingertips were pained.

[@MPfrance]

In 1964 George was using Rotosound RS44's (11 - 47) John was using Pyramids. They only changed strings when they broke.

[@woodenbeast9337]

Amazing as always

[@Sy21124]

Great tutorial! Could you do one for if I fell?

[@almarc3]

....totally second that thought...would also like to see/hear you break down I Don't Want to Spoil the Party! :)

[@andrewpappas9311]

Another great lesson, I know I keep suggesting these but I would love to see a lesson on Hey Bulldog (with an added section for McCartney's bass part just because it's definitely one of the coolest parts of the song in my opinion) and Anthology cuts like Free As A Bird, Real Love or If You've Got Trouble

[@darrenschuberg4394]

Thanks for another great breakdown. It really is a great song for learners to practice a consistent, simple strum pattern and tempo. I am curious how, on a song like this, you'd arrange it for someone trying to play it and sing it solo. What would be the best way to incorporate some of George's work into John's to give it the best feel, using a single guitar?

[@rickkiebiech6088]

I don’t play guitar but I know what sounds good. And this sounds really good.

[@СергейНиколаев-в2ш]

As brilliant as always. The seeming simplicity of the song does not make the piece primitive or its analysis easy. All's at its typically very high level, no exclusions here either

[@nabooster]

Another awesome lesson Maestro Mike. As per your cover, is that you double-tracking your vocal or artificial double-tracking (ADT) ? If the latter, can I ask how you did it? Regards from Greece

[@MPfrance]

Tam - I sing the song two times. The video is me doing the double tracking. The easiest way to simulate ADT is to record a vocal track - duplicate that track. And then move the duplicated track 10 to 30ms.

[@nabooster]

@@MPfrance Gotcha. Thanks Mike. Just going through your lesson for 'I'll follow the sun'. Cheers, Tam
