In these free video guitar lessons you will learn "Something" by The Beatles. Besides being one of George Harrison's best songs, it is also one of the greatest songs of the entire Beatles catalog.
In my opinion I feel the solo in "Something" is one of the greatest solos ever written. It fits the song so perfectly that you just can't imagine anything being able to top it.
There are some nice chord progressions using 7th chords and some nice muting techniques. And the solo has some really nice 1st finger bends and excellent vibrato. It is an excellent study in playing a highly musical solo that perfectly fits the underlying chords.

I've had my guitar for 2 months now, and I've struggled learning anything. I decided I was going to learn at least one song no matter how hard, but one song I listen to.This video though, helped tremendously and I can play the solo and learned in 2 hours. Thank you for the simple and clear instructions!

[@lifebreath77]

Yep, the only one who plays it correctly, in the right position.

[@McGuinty2]

Perfectly done, not a note out of place to my ears.

[@vishalwall]

Hi Sir... Please accept my respect. I have been learning from your lessons for more than 4-5 months.

[@marcodigrazia9107]

I play guitar from 1 year, now I can do this solo correctly AMAZING

[@2010jimn]

I just watched the first minute of the video over and over a few times in slow motion and got this down. Thanks!

[@elsaluvsnutella]

was about to comment this- same

[@JM-xd4xn]

Wanted to learn this for so long, very easy to follow and I have picked everything up. Thanks for the lesson!

[@julchav5709]

Thanks guy. Classic solo. Not to difficult

[@Roscoe1279]

Great teaching as usual.

[@jerrymolloy1262]

I can play the whole solo now after a 2 day grind

[@steved525]

Carl, excellent lesson! Thank you so much!

[@dennisganesh3219]

Great solo. Great song. Well done.

[@Keepsu]

Excellent tutorial. Many thanks.

[@Hiyori___]

3:51 don’t mind me, just putting personal time stamps. Amazing tutorial

[@hotriffsofthrash]

Thanks man i have learned a lot from you.

[@dagoldigol]

Nice tutorial bro!!!,it seems so simple, but too tricky😁

[@lhoperative8515]

So smooth man

[@brucebrill3248]

Thanks for the lesson. Your positioning, is a much more efficient way to play this solo. I've seen several ways/positions in C to make it sound good, but yours just makes more sense. But strangely enough... I bet George played it even in a much more simplified and subdued way. Probably not moving more than a position or two. Your version has a little more character.

[@DavidDiMuzio]

So many great lessons! haha, I can't keep up!! ;) You Rock! :)

[@kintobitel]

Man, I really like your lessons and i was wondering if you could do some by The Kinks like "You really got me" or "All day and all of the night", please, they're a great band and deserve a lesson ;)

[@2011littlejohn1]

I believe - though I might be wrong that Jimmy Page played the solo on You Really Got Me. I think it's sort of reminiscent of the solo in It's All Over Now by the Stones.

[@squintoncarbusier4963]

Great lesson. Really helped. Thanks.

[@eduardorodrigues8413]

You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you so much for this great tutorial = )

[@whitefalcon74]

Awesome very good thx for the input and support.!

[@arthurcarlson6463]

Carl, Great work as always! Thank you~ Question, love the tone on your strat, what strings do you use?

[@Teachering]

This is a good lesson.

[@loveguitars]

Excellent!!!

[@stevegrahn3035]

I’m working on this solo from Something. How do you decide which string, or position, to use? I’d really appreciate learning more about this. Thanks

[@zjah1]

can u elaborate? as u would just watch the video to know the correct frets and position, unless ur talking about sheet music which is an entire diffrent ball park.

[@seansmith5437]

Appreciate these! Thanks! :)

[@TheDicapriofans]

PERFECT!!!!!!!

[@MSmifffy]

Cracking lesson, thanks :-)

[@hawg427]

Good One. Beatles rule. If more of todays bands could write music like they did we would all have joyful ears.

[@Alex-ck4ul]

So easy to follow! Thanks so much, man. Rock on.

[@eduardcunnigham9366]

can you teach us clasical gas please? i'd be the happiest person on earth if id learn to play that masterpiece. (u're awesome)

[@jimmyversus]

hey, i'd like to thank you for all these great lessons..it amazes me when somebody that good bothers to make lessons for us..anyway, do you happen to know ''a minor prelude'' by rick emmett? it's a fantastic tune...i wonder if you could do a lesson on this...

[@tiktoktookmylife4319]

what kind of strings do u use?

[@KowboySantos]

yeah! where its supposed to be, on the 12th and 14th fret!

[@snasacobraaa3547]

[@rafaelvelasco2734]

Excelente, mil gracias, saludos

[@sheistcoff]

First finger bends quite challenging. Anyone know why it has to be done this way? It's not a fast solo, so those bends could be done with other fingers.

[@Mathius1337]

Nice.

[@Syncrosound8000]

[@AllenPinchloaf]

This is not a Clapton solo.Its a Harrison solo.Its well documented...While My Guitar Gently Weeps is Clapton!

[@ruskie20]

What are your amp settings and guitar settings?

[@demonk9999]

Efectos? Pd buen video

[@thewalrus6916]

Hard to understand at first but suddenly it just clicks

[@danielbackiel2830]

What kind of pick ups are those???

[@lkzj4745]

Why ur fretboard so dirty bro

[@skismith39]

Strangely enough, as good as George is, the solo in this song is Eric Clapton's if I'm not mistaken.

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

gerry tierney No this one is done by George. Clapton played on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". :)

[@skismith39]

I though Clapton played on both, but glad it is Harrison, I'm not nearly as fond of "Weeps".

[@brucealcoriza1606]

+gerry tierney what a dumb-ass comment ! This is a Beatles' song, composed by George Harrison...Eric Clapton ain't got nothing to do with this song, for Christ sake ! Get your shit together before you write a comment like this.

[@quiqueesparza8106]

+BRUCE ALCORIZA dude the only dumb-ass comment here is yours. What you are saying is a shitty argument, as for instance, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a Beatles song composed by George Harrison (just like "Something") however, Clapton plays a lead guitar part. Don´t put people down for not knowing better. ;)

[@skismith39]

I was mistaken and got the two mixed up, so sue me Bruce. Then take your Ned's.

[@patrickednie7290]

such great lessons,great sound but why dont you say this is played in such an suck key and using pentatonic or whatever..Will help to develop our knowledge

[@miguelalejandrogasca78]

Patrick Ednie A pentatonic, cheers

[@miguelalejandrogasca78]

Key is C major i think
