The Beatles - I've Just Seen A Face LESSON by Mike Pachelli

Here's a lesson on the guitar parts of Paul, John & George for this RUBBER SOUL classic!

[@jessedax7333]

The most beautiful, complete, efficient, happy, simple, fun and entertaining tutorials on the net. Wonderful! Thank you Mike. Cheers!

[@MPfrance]

My pleasure!

[@robertakerman3570]

@@MPfrance Hey Mike, that "C" guitar lost it's strum /strike plate. For a facelift? Nice look anyway.

[@tristonsummers1806]

It’s always a good day when a new Pachelli lesson comes out. Thanks Mike 😃

[@jaydrfish]

So true!!

[@lewisgreen1633]

I appreciate how many years Mike has been studying music and the persistence of time doing it but he played that solo so annoyingly perfect. Just gorgeous..

[@AcousticJamDad]

Seriously dude, you totally blow me away with your lessons on these great Beatle songs! I LOVE how you dig into each person’s part and tie it together with the personality of the guitarist, like with John’s rhythm part being kind of “sarcastic”. The world’s Beatle fan guitarists owe you a debt of gratitude for making these videos! Thanks man!

[@neverforget6523]

The more he teaches the more we get addicted to Mike's lessons. merci beaucoup

[@burntsider8457]

I admire the direct presentation with no pretentious attempts at humor, no inane gimmicks. Well done, Mike.

[@emmastonefan5468]

No one can brighten my day like you Mr. Pachelli !

[@jaydrfish]

Another fabulous, easy to follow lesson, Mike! I've been playing that song for 50 years, but never felt competent to even try the intro. With your explanation, demonstration, and charts, I did it! I even transposed it into G! You fill the world with goodness via your music❤❤ thank you so much!

[@MPfrance]

Wow, thanks!

[@gzackerman]

How does a guy name his favorite Beatles song? Impossible, but this song is among my very favorites!!! Thanks for laying it out!!!

[@Slylacious]

The world is a better place with a Beatles song, and a Mike cover…😊thank you

[@Daytripper51]

Always loved this song...You dissected it well! Never heard Johns part before, one of those pieces that's hidden....Great job, Mike!

[@MPfrance]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ronrago2696]

The album Rubber Soul was my first album, a gift from a freind and this song on acoustic just won me over like nothing ever before. It is great hearing it, seeing you play it & learning how to play it myself, the right way! Mike, you are a gift to all of us die hard Beatle fans... Thanks for your passion...

[@MPfrance]

Ron - My pleasure - glad it helped a bit!

[@frankscully]

I have often fantasied what it would be like to have the Beatles walk me through a song and point out all the layers and arrangements that go into making the final cut. Well Mike, with your keen ear and teaching skill you have more than accomplished that!! Many thanks to you as when I re-listen to their songs that you have covered, I notice more of the detail and can appreciate the genius and hard work that went into each recording. You have what it takes to have been in that band. As always I look forward to the next inspirational video!!

[@marcopavan70]

One of my favorite Beatles songs! Stunning !

[@SonnyAlexiboi]

God bless. Amazing shirt and a great lesson (as always). Your musicianship and love of the Beatles never fail to put a smile on my face.

[@venderstrat]

Paul did it on Wings Over America. The chords and guitar parts are awesome, but how about the words? 'I have never known the like of this, I've been alone and I have missed things and kept out of sight but other girls were never quite like this'.

[@danielsegundo2259]

Rather clever i'd say

[@jimbrew4529]

Paul's intro was pretty ingenious for a young bass player!

[@vincetownsend2514]

Yet when we were first in awe of them in Liverpool the bass player was Stuart Sutcliffe and the lead was played by George. Paul was a rhythm guitarist - he must have been SO frustrated! We couldn't have guessed that he was so multi-talented. They were still incredible...

[@trevorfromengland]

It's actually fairly basic.......and Paul was originally the second rhythm player.

[@trevorfromengland]

@@vincetownsend2514 Why would he have been frustrated?.....His developing innovative bass playing was pretty much as a lead instrument by 1965. It fed his ego much more than if he was another rhythm player. (Someone had to play bass. It was never going to be John, and George was already installed on merit on lead guitar. It was a godsend that Paul took over on bass because bass playing became different because of him and a few notable others in that era, James Jamerson on Motown recordings, John Entwistle of The Who and that brilliant bassman in The Hollies, Eric Haydock)

[@andreaswongchong2504]

Mike, you're the best resource for BEatles songs on the internet so far. Thanks for your history and lessons on the greatest music composers of my time!

[@mattcovers1]

Mike, I’m a long term Beatles fan since my dad taught me about their existence, never heard of this song until just a while ago while suddenly seeing covers about it. It’s definitely in my top 3 Beatles songs. Thank you for posting this, such a great song. The Beatle fan community appreciates you a lot mike! I’m also a small guitar channel, planning on making a cover of this uploaded soon, I might even build up the confidence to sing it.

[@dennismullin3052]

You are one fabulous teacher and so fun to listen to and able to learn so much. Thanks, Mike. Keep them coming. Stay well, Brother👍🎸

[@MPfrance]

Dennis - Thank you kindly!

[@alansouthall8221]

Thank you Mike, love your passion and playing. Really appreciate what you do

[@noahm43]

great beatles song, love the lesson mike!

[@roryheap533]

This is another fantastic example of mikes ability to disassemble and reassemble songs that are outwardly simple but turn out to be much more fascinating and complicated than they first appear. Thanks Mike for your wonderful ears and work! :-)

[@stevebroady5539]

I always come here to get an explanation of why the specific notes are being played, rather than just somebody telling you where to put your fingers. Fabulous.

[@MPfrance]

@steve - Thanks and it's REAL good to hear that! And yeah - I think that when a player knows "why" something was played, they can readily use the same theorem and incorporate it in their own music.

[@vladartov2817]

It's where theory meets praxice. Many many thanks!

[@ARWest-bp4yb]

Brilliant! Another great example of how they incorporated different styles into their music! 👍👍

[@artpam]

Mike, you've helped my appreciation of Beatles music, music I've loved for many decades, and now love even more. Thanks!👍

[@Geronimo122]

Great song. I'm in awe of how George's parts integrate so perfectly into the song, supporting the chord changes, melody, etc. I learn so much from George. (And you as well, Mike-- thanks!)

[@jeffmorton9220]

Entertaining, informative, fun. Always. If you enjoy Beatles tunes and have an appreciation for how they created their unique sounds for each song, Mike Pachelli shows how they did it. Then, at the end, he combines the individual tracks and the accompanying vocals and vocal harmonies into a finished video that sounds as good as the original Beatles' recording. Mike's videos are not to be missed!

[@rwmiller9062]

Just might be the best one yet! Infectious, one could say!

[@rogerspalding5673]

Mike, I am a recent new subscriber to your channel. The first time I ever heard this song played live was in 1972 when Jonathan Edwards covered it at Lafayette College in Easton PA where I was a freshman. I wasn't too much of a Beatles fan at that time, but I became one after I learned McCartney had written this song almost 10 years earlier. Seeing you play it again on your vlog brought tears to my eyes. Your tenor voice made all the sounds, sights and feelings from that Saturday night some 50 years ago come alive for me. Thank you. You have a wonderful gift.

[@WillKruger]

Well done Mike! Not in the Beatles realm but I've always thought Simon and Garfunkel's Mrs. Robinson recording would be interesting to explore and break down.

[@eli43man]

Thank you Mike for this one. It is quite amazing work you did here to interpret the different guitar roles and do as the original. The nice thing is that you are bringing a point of view each individual Beatle on his own guitar. One of my first Beatles songs that I liked when first introduced to their music at teen age. Well done!

[@chuckschaible5410]

You're amazing! SO EXCELLENT AND INFORMATIVE! DON'T EVEN STOP; YOU TOTALLY DESERVE MILLION'S OF FANS/Subscribers!

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Absolutely brilliant! Love it! 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

[@sapelesteve]

That was fantastic as usual Mike! "Rubber Soul" is definitely one of my all time favorite albums. I think of it as a transition between the early Beatles and their more progressive musical genius that followed. Thanks for these lessons & I hope that you are doing well. 👍👍😉😉🎸🎸🎤🎤👏👏

[@ringi1970]

So great. One of my alltime favourite songs. I remember playing that in younger years with a colleague at a campfire in a tent camp as a ballad ... has given that song also a good vibe. The "I put it all together" - is (as I said many times) always a pleasure Mike!

[@MikeJones-eo8qz]

Mike, thanks so much for all you do. You're good people. You're extremely talented. None of us will ever have the magic those four had back then. That's okay. We can celebrate.

[@MPfrance]

Mike - SO true! NONE of us will ever have the magic those four had back then!!

[@MikeJones-eo8qz]

@@MPfrance Please don't take that the wrong way. Your tutorials are amazing and I respect you beyond measure. You're the best! Much love always.

[@MPfrance]

Mike Jones - I didn't "take that the wrong way" in the slightest. I completely agree with you. None of us - especially me - will ever get ANYWHERE near the genius/magic that the lads had!

[@A65Bill]

Brilliant thanks Mike. One of my Beatles favourites & as a Scouser I have to admire your attention to detail with the accent. 👍😁

[@gioknows]

That is one of the prettiest songs of all time. Very well done as always, Mike. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

You obviously put a lot of time and work into these lessons, all the best!

[@gtrdoc911]

"sarcastic rhythm guitar". That's hilarious! Thanks for the great tut!

[@Rober_to23]

Thanks Mike! Excellent production!! Very nice!

[@kwgm8578]

Hi Mike, you and I share a similar appreciation/admiration of George's contributions to the band. He certainly paid his dues. I enjoy hearing your descriptions of your transcriptions and that was an unintentional rhyme, but I'll leave it in this time. 🇺🇸🧙🏼‍♂️🔵

[@TerryVanner]

Fantastic lesson of a great song! Thanks very much Mike for all your hard work and bringing us all these amazing Beatles songs.

[@ignacio.carral]

Great lesson, Mike! Hug from Argentina!

[@hepgeoff]

Always loved this song. The solo is so simple, but sounds so great on that 12 string. And as always, loved hearing you play all the parts at the end! Thanks for this, Mike!

[@MPfrance]

Geoff - Thanks a lot! And yeah - George was the epitome of good taste!

[@geo.cgeier3435]

It’s a Mike Beatchelli show! Loved it ! Always love the back story and your sound alike! Thanx Mr. Beatchelli!

[@simonmarsh7529]

Brilliant lesson as always Mike and great to have the bass part too. Really made me smile on a sunny day here in the uk

[@geneo3654]

That was awesome Mike, gonna take a while to learn this one. But I'm up for the challenge. Thanks again Mike.

[@darkangelmichael6148]

Truly masterful. You've just showcased your own individual artistry in a Beatle framework. Nice.

[@thomassprague9040]

This guy is incredible the way he talks and teaches these parts. I’m an up and coming guitar teacher but I am taking so many notes from this guy. He’s got me hooked!!

[@jeffsquires6620]

Mike, thank you. You have helped me get back into guitar after a 10 year binge. My guitars are my best friends again. My playing has improved dramatically since I discovered your channel. TOTAL RESPECT ALWAYS. How about MULL OF KINTYRER.

Fantastic lesson Mike. Beautifully arranged. Thank you. One of my favorites by the Fab Four. Love to play this on guitar too. The pointers are a great help.

[@MPfrance]

Glenn - Many thanks!

[@ddsigal]

Thank you Mike for this excellent lesson! Greetings from Buenos Aires.

[@nmcg2587]

Rubber Soul was my go-to album back in the day. Have to laugh at my younger guitar-learner (13yr old) self - I wondered how the heck one guy did all that guitar work on the ascending intro. Duh! Thanks for clearing up the mystery Mike. Enjoyed the lesson - I promise not to try to play all the parts at once (this time).

[@mattneale3128]

Great lesson and cover. So helpful to have the vocals on the demonstration.

[@ericdee6802]

One of my multitude of favorites (every beatle song is my favorite) Outstanding as always, Thank you Mike!👍 i enjoyed every note!!!✌

This song always reminded me of the Australian group The Seekers. Similar styles.

[@tonyroma7599]

great job again. I have to say that I love the performance at the end of your videos, thank you so much Mike for all your videos

[@stevefulnecky4563]

That IS Cool.. and looked like a lot of fun to do. In Rubber Soul time, it was beyond my use of a record player needle and a laminated top Gibson ( winter of '65 ) to deconstruct the " alien spacecraft " to this level of attainment ( even though I would've if I could've ). I always loved that song and the energy it took to create it...I just didn't think it would take 57 YEARS to get it done right. Millions heard it, most probably liked it, but only a handful could play it right! Thanks for the effort on all the filming, recording and taking it down in the first place. I hope John and George are getting a chuckle out of it now.. I really hope that!

[@psimplepsychology7278]

Amazing lesson for an amazing song!

[@kenschachsieck1357]

Great job as always, Mike. Again, you've done a remarkable job on the backstory of breaking down and explaining the parts played. Thank you!

Yes!! Thank you Mike.

[@carlotomass119]

Great work Mike as always thanks

[@bradpedellvids]

Incredible breakdown of this 1965 creative innovation by the Beatles. Always catchy to listen and singalong, your deconstruction of this tune further illustrates the genius of those young master composers, and engenders a newfound respect for the greatness of this song. Seemingly simple, whimsical, and just plain fun, your lesson brings forth the song’s intricate sophistications by young 20-somethings of that time. Thank you for your greatness in how you do what you do. As Beatles’ fans, it’s a new way for us to appreciate their tunes even more through your awesome knowledge.

[@MPfrance]

Brad - Thanks! I'm humbled by your VERY kind words. And yeah - a large part of the Beatles' genius is the fact that they were able to weave many seemingly simple parts into a magnificent whole. Unparalleled by any other 60's group!

[@bradpedellvids]

@@MPfrance You're very welcome, and deservedly so. For your consideration, I was born in 1962 and until 4 years of age I lived not far from Shea Stadium. Some of my earliest memories were of the Beatles, possibly because of the buzz around them performing at Shea, and their presence in the local environment at that time. I was affected by them as a toddler, and remain fascinated by them at 60 years of age. Their musical sophistication and genius will remain a source of fascinating study for generations to come. You certainly bring that forth for me as I eagerly await opportunities to watch all of your new video tutorials. Thanks again Mike!

[@MPfrance]

Brad - Thanks again Brad. Glad to be of some help. FYI - I lived in NYC for many years and when my daughter was born - we moved to Flushing. My 7 train stop was at Shea!

[@bradpedellvids]

@@MPfrance Wow! Coincidence! I was from Forest Hills. Then grew up in NJ. Ironically I reside currently back in Queens, in Long Island City. Little different than South France! So nice of you to communicate with me. You're a great teacher, and equally important, a genuinely nice person. Take care and thanks again for spreading the joy of music to everyone with your great gifts!
