The Beatles - I've Got A Feeling LESSON by Mike Pachelli

Here's a lesson on the guitar parts played by John & George during their LIVE recording on the rooftop Jan. 30, 1969

[@favouritemoon4133]

102 times? No wonder that rooftop performance was so utterly brilliant!

[@potterwalker4823]

George Martin did say they were very hard workers in the studio and on stage. As they say the way to Carnegie Hall is practice practice and “

[@toddubow2599]

Mike is the only unbiased and accurate Beatles historian.

[@specialkalberta]

Paul's "woo hoo" before the outro is the most brilliantly timed and executed bit of enthusiastic ad libbing of all time.

[@MPfrance]

Yeah - he was a GREAT screamer!

[@jonathangee7902]

Mike Pachelli is easily the best guitarist/basist/drummer/singer/teacher to ever exist. Ive never had any problems learning from you!!!

[@numz.l0l]

Thanks mike this really helped me out im 13 years old and been trying to learn this song for a while i watched all your lessons and learned a lot from you. Thank you so much

[@enchantederic3792]

Would have been so nice to have this video when I was 13 and starting out! You picked a song with soul - and that says much about you. Glad to see your interest in guitar and The Beatles, truly a golden sound forever. Best of Fortunes!

[@milestrotter6844]

Hey I'm 16! And also learning this song.

[@greenbrightly]

Good on you 👍

[@lebojay]

You’re listening to the right albums, young man!

[@TheDarinAmes]

As a relatively older cat it’s great to see younger players learning these timeless songs! Good luck and keep learning great music. Learning The Beatles songbook not only helped my playing but turned me on to singing and songwriting.

[@dodojack1045]

What a phenomenon the band was. The best ever. Great analysis Mike. Thank you.

[@dontbakdown6015]

...this is one of my all time favourite Beatle songs...have never quite known why but its got something to do with that opening Lennon riff and the absolutely jaw dropping McCartney vocal..thank god they recorded the rooftop concert..a defining moment in music history😊

[@swatibhuj]

I remember one time my professor of Calculus, uttered the famous line 'I've Got a Feeling"!, while solving a simple integral problem! I don't know -- I think that he might, subconsciously, have been a Beatles fan! :)

[@stanley8869]

I am impressed that neither guitarist hogs the limelight. Rather it is sections of tasteful chord variations (some fuller, some not so) and little licks. IIt all fits together so well.

[@KRW628]

I've said before, a Beatles album cut is better than most other artist's A-side singles. Thank youi!

[@MPfrance]

Michael - You are welcome and I agree with you!

[@juliosanchez8263]

This is a great example of what George brings to a Lennon-Mccartney song. He never was super proficient, but as far as playing in a manner that serve the song, there is nobody better.

[@kzeich]

Hello from one beatles fan to another. Luv ya. Hey I think George was very proficient, his technique surpassed the others and he used his precision to season each song perfectly

[@derbsbiz2266]

GH was extremely proficient as he was a perfectionist.

[@1rwjwith]

This song is such a great example of the Beatles going with “ feel” on a song. Noted of course it’s totally LIVE, which is why it’s so cool in my opinion. Great job of course on the video!

[@MPfrance]

Well said! and thanks for the kudos.

[@digeorgesiphone]

Mike! You’re THE BEST!! So many data!! Is great!!

[@gldnedge]

I was randomly looking for a tutorial.... And BANG!...Subscribed.

[@jward9637]

Mike you always blow me away with your spot on note for note precision, and your really cool background on the Beatles.

[@briankelly5212]

doesnt get much more comprehensive than this, you're a beatles guitar master! Thanks.

[@CraggyIsland123]

This is a fantastic channel to learn Beatles song and learn a lot about the Beatles too. I'm so glad I found it ❤

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

Hi Mike! Thank you so much! Your passion and love for the Beatles is so infectious. Please continue sharing for free Beatles lessons. Thanks brother!

[@philsharp8198]

brilliant mike, loved it, hope you watched paul doing his duet with john at glastonbury this year doing this song, brilliant tribute to john from macca,

[@meteor713g]

Well, that immediately went into my 'song lessons' playlist

[@sanchesandsaucey2185]

The young people wanting to learn beatle tunes is a true testament to how great the Beatles really are.

[@Belchmaster41]

most songs aren't easy, unless you know the main chords.

[@Satisfi608]

Mike thank you so much for this amazing lesson, I am a twelve year old and I thought I could never learn this song but then I found your channel, and it's been helping me learn so many Beatles song's; including this one!

[@richardsilva7087]

Good job Mike I've learned a lot thank you

[@vangough1665]

Hi Mike. I've been following your videos for quite a while, and it's impressive how talented you are. It's always so fun to watch you, and I love those little moments of Beatles history you do, it feels like going back to the 60's. Thanks for your hard work. Rock on!

[@georgeb2691]

Maybe I'm Amazed at Mike's talent at every level to put this video together---history, note-by-note explanation of every lick, and one of the best performances of this song ever! Thank you so much!

[@martynspooner5822]

Have run out of good things to say. Simply the best breakdowns I have ever seen. Thanks for all of your great work.

[@gorgen23]

I’ve been waiting for ages for you to do this. Brilliant work Mike. I honestly think the live version they did on The rooftop is arguably their greatest live performance of all time.

[@juanr.2540]

Thank you very much, Mike, from Spain. God bless you!

[@user-ge3oy1vl6v]

THE VOCALS ARE AMAZING

[@reedburke7762]

I listened to this entire video again today, outstanding! I think my favorite. Thanks again Mike!

[@ericleon6482]

You are THE best teacher online on Beatles songs, my goodness, jaw dropping really, the way you can tell and recreate all of their songs, I just love it so much, BIG THANKS!

[@MPfrance]

Eric - Thanks and my pleasure!

[@douginny]

First analysis of this song on the web.. Thank you so much.

[@jkilcull1643]

Mike, you are fantastic at this; history/trivia, dissecting rhythms and melodies...etc. You are the best! I love the music part of the Beatles as much as you do...Oh! and I'm totally jealous of where you live AND your studio!

[@Abbynorml1979]

I'm so glad you make these, thank you.

[@reedburke7762]

Mike, oh my! The similarity was astounding! You have once more demonstrated this band's brilliance; I regret that they split up because collectively, they are the best rock and roll band ever. And you totally killed it!

[@MPfrance]

Reed - Thanks very much and yeah - it'd would have been great to hear how they'd progress with the advance of recording technology. What they did on primitive equipment was outstanding and today, most home studios FAR surpass what the lads used.

[@richiewalker0114]

@@MPfrance Yup.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Mike, your attention to the nuanced details of how the guys actually played these parts is admirable and very interesting. Thanks so much

[@benflay6038]

That Mike is a lot of research and thanks for showing it they were all over the place lol they were genius to make this love your epiphone

[@macianmiguel5379]

I love your lessons, Mike it's always a pleasure! Cheers!

[@danielrockmyer949]

Thank You Mike! You are the best person on the planet to be teaching Beatles tunes. God Bless +++

[@Jhubh]

You don't know how long I waited for this

[@billysea7769]

Omg your fantastic in explaining technics. This song is a head turner

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

When these guys splice things together it takes some real talent.I studied recording back when tape had to be spliced .Haha.This song is so cool.I bought the album in 1978 and it blew me away.I have a Deluxe Reverb as well .Amazing amp that Fender breakup is perfect.The way the guitars intetact is magic.George pulled the coolest notes out

[@livingadreamlife1428]

Thorough breakdown and analysis. Well done Mike!

[@frankcozin7322]

Awesome job as usual, these are very enjoyable! Thanks!

[@aidanhawrylecki7666]

Brilliant and inspiring. Thank you Mike for your craft: your knowledge, generosity, musicianship, and dedication.

[@Kaunas-rx3qv]

Awesome lesson and playing. Love the sound-a-like at the end. Excellent stuff Mike and thank you so much!

[@wavertreetv]

As always extremely entertaining - thank you!. Good to hear the story behind the song. I can't believe they played that song 100 times!

[@jimwade3653]

This is great! Thanks Mike!

[@fredthebass185]

Thank you so much for all your hard work in producing yet another amazingly detailled analysis! I always look forward to your new videos and enjoy going back to them many times. Best wishes from Spain.

[@joshwmusic6838]

Amazing work I love this song!

[@allenallen5040]

Great Mike. Our band played that in 1973 outside. Wasn’t easy to get just right. 2 of us did music in movies, some Broadway, Morning TV shows etc. Later became a Phil Keaggy fan. I have your CD you did together.

[@jimmybonar2566]

MAGIC! Thank you Mike, just so great to watch and to listen too. Thank you :)

[@MPfrance]

Jimmy - Glad you enjoyed it!

[@giantessmaria]

Fabulous! All the attention to detail is just so awesome and admirable! And the history lesson suggests a true connoisseur of the Fab 4...thanks much sir!

[@patrickkelly5004]

That's a cool story of how this song came together, and adds great context. Your diligence in researching and putting this together is much appreciated, Mike.

[@Theonlyshaun]

I love playing this song. Great to see your take on it Mike!

[@nandopelusi7699]

Excellent analysis of a deceptively simple but artful song. I think those "mistakes" were happy accidents that always worked for The Beatles.

[@MPfrance]

Nando - thank you.

[@ronaldkavanagh7983]

Well done Mike, you captured 👏 the total essence of what was once the most superfluous iconic band of the 20th century. Thank you for such a superb in detail rendition. Pure excellence.

[@DaleyWard]

Tremendous job, Mike!! Love it!!

[@keithgeorge2541]

Practicing the same tune 100 plus times! That’s why they were the best R&R band ever! IMHO.

[@MPfrance]

Keith - Yep - they certainly worked at their craft!

[@ronrago2696]

Mike, It has to be said, you are the absolute best on The Beatles. I got to tell you that your John Lennon voice is awesome! Thanks for continuing the journey & the great lessons. Peace!

[@MPfrance]

Ron - Very kind words from you - I'm humbled by your kindness.

[@richiewalker0114]

Agreed...from a 74 year old musician that was doing Beatles back in '64. Michael nails it.

Mike another FAB lesson....great riff breakdown on John & George's parts

[@robbedontuesday]

Cannot help it... I love John... Miss him so much.

[@cbtwilley]

Mike, this is amazing. I've been wanting to learn this song for 50 years! Now you have shown the way in this simple, yet amazingly complex song put together by the two musical geniuses! With George's part and of course the drums of Mr. Starr, this song has so much magic happening. Bravo my friend!!! (and thanks!!)

[@johnodacre3881]

What can I say that hasn't already been said about the immense talent that you possess?!! You're unbelievable Mike you are just absolutely unbelievable at recreating the essence of how great The Beatles were and still are! I have been a fan of yours since I found you on KZbin 4 years ago and now that I bought my first guitar at the age of 62 I want to learn how to play some of these songs and I've never played guitar in my life and I'll never be able to play guitar and sing the way you do but I really got to say let the love that you put into this presentation and the dedication that you put into it leaves me Spellbound! You are the greatest the best I've recreating the sound of the Beatles hands down! Everybody else is a karaoke act compared to you! May God bless you with many many years of playing ability and health because you are a phenomenon and absolute Force recreating the magic of The Beatles note by note with every attention to every detail! I am a fan for life! Both you and Phil Keaggy should reunite for a Beatles tribute album! I'm telling you it would go platinum!

[@MPfrance]

John - Thanks! VERY kind of you to say.

[@mootrevo]

Great stuff, as always. Thanks Mike!

[@MPfrance]

mootrevo - Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rickalexanderguitar]

Great song to have done Mike. Great guitar parts. Loved the roof top performance in the Get Back doco. Very powerful.

[@ottoalfred7190]

Thanks a lot, Mike, you showed it perfectly. I‘ve been waiting quite some time for you teaching this song that I like a lot. Looked at other videos that still left open questions to me as how John and George played it exactly. „I’ve got a feeling“ became more popular recently through the GetBack-film and with Paul performing it in his concerts together with John on big screen on the roof top.

[@petet968]

Thanks Mike. That's a lot of work. "I've got a feeling" you played a right handed bass and then flipped the image around for the play along. Very cool!

[@koolkid4928]

Crazy vocal range!

[@johnwilson7809]

That ending always messed me up. Every time I listened to it, I had a different version because of the 2 guitars and the mistakes. Thanks for the clarification. Great ear, as always.

[@MPfrance]

John - Glad to help!

[@TheSonnylily]

Mike Mike, actually 103 times including your playing lol...... Thanks for your valuable lesson, you Da Man!!! Cheers mate

[@Snakefinger1000]

Playing a new song that many times makes perfect sense to me. I'm 70 and was playing guitar in a band during the time that Let It Be was being recorded and I was always arguing with the guys about nailing a song perfectly before playing it to people.back then and in subsequent bands. My argument was that once we could play a song in our sleep we could relax and breeze through it live but their she'll be right attitude used to bug me.

[@venderstrat]

Great work, Mike...yet again.

Frank - I appreciate that!

[@Geronimo122]

[@mvp019]

This is on the shortlist for my favorite Beatles song. (Impossible to pick just one!) Thanks so much.

[@MPfrance]

Good choice!

[@napoliansolo7865]

THANK YOU! The guitars on this song have been haunting me for days. I haven't played for years, but this makes me want to try again. I have carpal tunnel so it's almost impossible to play very much. I learned on acoustic in high school and never learned electric guitar. The class was pretty basic so I didn't learn much of the stuff you talk about here. I hope to express myself again and maybe with your teachings I can do that. Thanks again. Heading over to your site after I listen to the roof top concert one more time.
