The vocals on the bridge are some of the most outstanding vocals ever recorded. "If I were you, I'd realize that I", etc. Paul's high harmonies with John's vocal are just soooo great. Anyone disagree? I thought not.

Yes, there is an urgency about the bridge vocals, John and Paul, which commands attention.

I've always felt that the greatness of the Beatles wasn't their hits, it was their albums. Other bands would put out an album with one or two singles, and 8-9 tracks which were rubbish. The Fabs could put out an album with no singles on it, and have something ;like 4 to six or seven tracks which were as good as any single. No Reply is one of those tracks. I've LOVED it since the first time I heard it in 1965. Thank you for the lesson. I'm learning it tonight.

@argusfleibeit11653 жыл бұрын
By this time (I was like, 11), I listened to each new track on every new album, not believing that the wonderfulness could keep rolling and rolling out of them. We were like, 4 or 5 albums in at this point (depending if you were in the US or the UK). I always found this album amazing. How could they keep this up??? And then they kept on for another ~5 years??? BEST BAND EVER.

LOVE the way you break down the parts and then bring them all together at the end. LOVE how you put the fingerings to the cords up in the corner. LOVE how you are using similar guitars to what they played. Was BLOWN AWAY by your vocals. So excited to see what other songs you've broken down. I'm 62 and started playing guitar when I was 8. Johhny Cash and The Beatles were my world (I know... but it was 1969...LOL). Thank you for such a GREAT surprise to start off my day.

Hey Mike! I am so glad you have both the ear to hear and the patience to follow through understanding these classic works of art. Your lessons really break down the magic behind the sound. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate it. By the way, earlier this morning I had a song in mind, and all my old brain would remember was the first word, “I “ sustained for seven (or eight) beats. Of course, it was “I should have known better.” And in your analysis (CDG, with an E minor) I realized it was a perfect manifestation of first love. The intense happiness, mixed with doubt and uncertainty, followed by more happiness! What writing skill!

Hey Mike Until they let George loose, I found that all of my favorite Beatles songs were John songs. Here is another. Although little heard and in the "John didn't like " group , it's one my favorites. You did a great job of breaking it down.
@Draganism3 жыл бұрын
Although I think it is great platform for John's vocals, from the warmth of the "middle eight" through to the intensity of "This happened once before . . .", I do understand why it would not be one of John's favourites. Lyrically rather impoverished and another unrequited love song. Contrast this to the relative richness, musically and lyrically, of "Norwigian Wood" and, although a nice song, one I certainly enjoy like yourself, not one of John's best.

Lennon/McCartney work out 48/52% for song output. Can't remember who wrote the most but as for quality they were very evenly matched-John being more pentatonic sounding and McCartney writing slightly more sophisticated in structure I think. When I read, learn and study the Beatles I just become more and more amazed that you got two people from poor and relatively uneducated backgrounds that came together in one band and then George also showing talent also. It's like lightening in a bottle as though all the stars lined up for that 8 yrs they were so productive. Thank god they happened because they changed the lives of millions of people and inspired so many more.

Mike, your attention to detail is amazing. I started on guitar in '65 when I was 13... So as told my youngest brother years ago, I played these songs when they first came out. I couldn't afford that equipment back then but over the years my working collection has increased. One of my joys back then was to play a Ric 360-12 plugged into a Sunn amplifier. Those chiming notes are still ringing in my ears many years later! Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your love of the people, music and instruments of that time!

Hey Joe!! I did start on guitar in January'65, when I was 13... and I think this was the first Beatles LP I could buy, perhaps in February, when it started to be sold in Spain (in a discoshop called Sinfonía). It was the first track in face 1, same as Taxman in Revolver, surely enough to dedicate the next days to listen to it about one million times. And through 65 and 66 played some of these songs in different student bands in Madrid, girls shouting like wounded demons in all the theatres or schools we acted. Real Magic, still in my mind.

Excellent, you make me smile, love those old Beatle songs, you do them so it looks like fun. Another thing that made these old Beatle songs so enjoyable to listen to was the hook. It was in the same key but so different that it was like another song within the song. This is a perfect example of that.

What a wonderful insight on this classic Beatles song! The F6-G6 passage is much overlooked and adds so much to the song! I'm sure Huey Lewis would agree as this is the reverse of his "Heart and Soul" which now sounds super-close to this masterpiece going G6-F6. What a wonderful job you've done Mike putting all the pieces together on this one. Bravo!
