The Beatles - You're Going To Lose That Girl LESSON by Mike Pachelli

Here's a lesson on the guitar parts of George & John's for "You're Going To Lose That Girl." Chart & Tabs at: www.MikePachelli.com

[@peterintoronto6472]

A favourite. It is worth saying that John's terrific singing and the backup vocals are what really make the song.

[@theblytonian3906]

If I had a favourite, of so many this would be it. Can't validate the why other than je ne sais quoi. Worth mentioning I was around and listening at the time of its original release in 1965. In fact from the very beginning of their fame with in 1962 "Love Me Do" through until the breakup in '69. Lucky me. I love playing it too, all parts. Easy but perfect solo for the song, just fantastic harmony, and John's lead vocal on a par with the epic "Twist and Shout" of the original on the "Please Please Me" album.

[@Cedrou21]

SHE'S GONNA CHANGE HER MIND. Amazing

[@BehemothTheCat14]

There's one very intersting thing: if you take the very first phrase of the song - "You're gonna lose that girl", take it exactly one tone higher and in slower tempo, you'll get exact - NOTE FOR NOTE! - melody of the beginning of A Day In The Life, where the words are "I read the news today..." Unbelievable? Check it yourselves! Funnily, that the word "lose" get exactly on the word "news"... I think that Lennon not only liked to play with words but also with melodies...

[@ordjk4797]

Good point however I think the conclusion you drew is incorrect. I think he didn’t “play” around with melodies, rather his brain had specific melodic structures that came to him. In other words it’s just a serendipitous coincidence.

[@robbiegadeguitar]

As a fellow Beatleologist and a lifetime pro musician, I commend you on your amazing backstories and performances. I have over 100 Beatle songs in my setlist and I always discover “something new” when I refer to your videos. Keep them coming.

[@dentalnovember]

I never knew Mike Pachelli has the essence of Hoyt Axton in his voice. I really do enjoy every single one of his lessons.

[@squidkid2]

I grew up with these songs in the early 60's and all these years later they're still as fresh and hook filled as in 1965. The amount of music that the Beatles could stuff into a 3-minute song is genius. The little George Harrison solo is so simple and innocent yet so perfect. It wasn't just the songwriting that was stellar it was the whole arrangement even with those goofy tempo and pitch variations. Diamonds in the rough. Thanks for this wonderful breakdown of an early Beatles gem.

[@nahnope8581]

I love when the *guitars* come in during this song

[@TheMichele7]

Such a beautiful song ~ ~ always a favorite. Thank you, Mike !

[@bmwtravel1100]

Thanks for a fantastic lesson from the early beatles era. In 1965 we had music from rolling stones, beatles, animals, temptations, four tops, byrds, james brown, bob dylan, yardbirds, marvin gaye, miracles, kinks, zombies ... what an explosion of talent. remarkable music from that time period.

[@bozak6026]

Your lessons are FABulous, Mike. An amazing attention to detail.

[@MPfrance]

Glad you like them!

[@ARWest-bp4yb]

Mike & The Beatles first thing Saturday morning, and such a great song too! 👍👍

[@jimmyponerico199]

It's just another flawless song by the greatest band of all time

[@davidd.perata2085]

Hi Mike! I've really enjoyed watching your videos because at 68, I was there! I'll do this quickly: Ed Sullivan show, bought cheap $5.00 guitar, asked dad for lessons, got a real acoustic and started lessons but got fed up with learning Camptown Races and wanted to play chords so I could sing off the record. My guitar teacher played If I Fell one day and I almost fell over in my chair. To a kid who loved the Beatles, it was exactly like the record. Goodbye Alfred guitar books (except for the chord charts.) Got my dad to buy me a Vox Shadow. Piece of crap! Big difference between the mechanical prowess of Britain and Germany. Summer of '65 my friend and I staged a Bay Street Beatles concert on our block ala Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney "Hey kids, let's do a show." All the neighborhood kids came in his basement. Man, the screaming was great. I managed to recreate Beatlemania for a ten year old kid. In '82 I was in the studio in L.A. working on an EP. I even did a Ticket to Ride cover. You know, I'd like to swap stories with you but this isn't the place. Let me know if you'd like to chat. Take care.

[@davebowman6497]

If I Fell, yes! The intro to it is the most beautiful, intricate, genious and camouflaged walk into the main key done in pop music. If someone says otherwise I will hit them on the head with my early Korean-built Sigma acoustic. You'd either have to survive a five-minute intro by Yes, or wait until Elvis Costello, XTC or Radiohead to hear progressions just trying to get close to that intro. It is the ultimate proof that you don't have to have explicit knowledge about music theory to compose exceptional music. You'd have to have the raw talent of Mister Lenmccartsonstarr, though.

[@kevin-jg5nq]

My favorite backing vocals in a Beatles' song.

[@mikephillips4095]

Hi Mike: I just wanted to say I really appreciate all that you do. The Beatles have always been a huge part of my life, from getting me ready for school every morning into retirement today! Well, you understand...!

[@TR4Ajim]

Your lessons are great, but to tell the truth, I really look forward to your “sound alike” performances on these videos. Very well done!👍

[@MPfrance]

Jim - Very kind of you to say - thanks!!

[@lewisgreen2957]

Me too! I think Mike has a very good voice, especially his harmonies..

[@lesleylesley5821]

Excellent voice.

[@barbarap3683]

One of my favorite songs by The Beatles. As with all of your lessons, no matter how many times I have listened to the recording, after your lesson I hear something new in the song. Love the backstory and your sound-alike. Thanks for sharing these lessons with us Mike.

[@michaelresch1369]

Thanks so much for the deep stories about each song and the great lessons. Funny I was just channeling this song listening to Help in my car and thought I you had taught me already but then today it see it for the first time. The Beatle universe is working overtime. You and your channel are one of my favorite channels on KZbin. Retired and 66, I never thought I would be playing so much guitar and never the Beatles. Who needs golf. Such joy! Thanks thanks thanks.

[@timgrace767]

I love this song - it’s got more than just the Beatle sound; it’s got the Beatle feel that’s raw and polished all at once. George’s chords echo the voiced harmonics and John’s rhythm emphasises the lyric sentiment. Thanks Mike…

[@Macrobish]

It’s just possible that Help is my favourite Beatle album and this song is one of the best. Great job as usual Mike

[@IamTabu]

One of the most underrated Beatles songs ever!

[@stevenmcgee9002]

I think this is the last song they had with the fab four sound to it, its hard to put in to words but after this they started getting full of their odd stuff

[@stevenmcgee9002]

Yes the background harmonies and the complimentary singing by Paul and George and rings drumming rolls that were spot in and kept perfect timing and it all fit like a masterpiece of art

[@jarichards99utube]

Yes a great pre-Rubber Soul Sound from the Great HELP ALBUM... 😊👍

[@dougsharp605]

Their vocals backing vocals all of it from the Beatles are great thank you for the lesson Mr Pachelli.... You are a master Craftsman

[@joejones9520]

this is my favorite beatles song, the key change thing is great especially the way it goes back into the original key, it's such a cool moment in the song.

[@haroldprice1030]

I really appreciate somebody that does the Beatles righteously. Thanks !

[@ppixilation]

I've been listening to the Beatles since 1963, and I'm enjoying their music more now than ever, thanks to these videos

[@gdholmfirth]

I came for the guitar lesson, but was blown away by the bass playing and sound in the finished product.

[@MPfrance]

gdholmfirth - Thanks - I do my best to be as accurate as I possibly can.

[@gtrplayer1000]

You are an encyclopedia of all things Beatles 🙂. Thanks for all your efforts in bringing us the background and instruction on these great songs.

[@neverforget6523]

I have read many books about the Beatles story. But Mike Pacelli knows nearly all the hidden details about the Fab Four and their studio work. Great job.

[@7425park]

God, there is nothing more fun than being in the Beatle World! How exciting it was as a Detroit 4th grader, cruising around on a stingray bike, radio taped to the handlebars, with a new Beatles song hitting the waves every couple weeks or so.

[@MPfrance]

Catering - I can relate. That was me also as a youngster!

[@paulweddle9250]

This is my favorite video of yours. I've heard that solo a hundred million times and now I CAN PLAY IT! Thanks for explaining this stuff in an easy, fun way!

[@MPfrance]

Paul -Awesome! Glad I could be of some help.

[@COMMANDER-ONE]

Wow, someone that likes the Beatles probably more than I do! Thanks a lot for putting that together!

[@SayTheWord65]

It is a great emotion when I see that there is a new lesson of yours from these songs, it is so fun and interesting your way of teaching. I could watch these videos for hours 🙌🏼

[@jdog881688]

Great song….great lesson….great rendition! Always love the story line. Thanks Mike!

[@MPfrance]

jdog - Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cyrilmoussoki3193]

Thank you for sharing. Mike, you are the best teacher and a smart guitar player.

[@jimpepper1]

Wow, you nailed the vocals on this one , I think you recreated this song so wonderfully!

[@douglasgeller2502]

Fabulous, Mike.

[@chrisgdyer]

Spectacular tutorial of one of my all time favorite Beatles song…thank you.

[@area49g12]

Another masterclass on a classic Beatles cover, great tutorial and awesome vocals, kudos;-)

[@greteringgaard3528]

This part of the Help! movie is an absolute favourite. Still looks so modern. Thanks for the break down

[@Deliquescentinsight]

1965 is brought back, very good analysis and breakdown of the parts, terrific 'sound like' ALSO

[@thewalrus223]

Just awesome, Mike. Your breakdowns and playing are second to none. But, then add the fact that you can sing very well completes the picture nicely. Wish I could still sing like when I was younger! I’m a Beatles ‘Deep Fan’ now for 67 years and I’m grateful that you are a great fan as well. Thank you

Mike, always blown away with your thorough explanations on how to play many of the great Beatles songs! Plus the intro on the history of the song! Thank you for the great lessons!

[@billr9125]

I love that you flip the bass video so you look to be left handed. No detail left unaddressed! Thank you for all the content. As a long time Beatle guitar player with limited talent these videos open my eyes.

[@brucewallace3285]

Always nice seeing how its made. Really like seeing it all put together. Sweet!

[@752brickie]

Mike you are one of the most gifted musicians I have ever seen!!! Thank you,every day I play the guitar hoping to someday be 1/1000th as good a player as you are ! Thank you again ! Loved your videos with Phil and Randy !!!

[@furball321]

Mike, you do these SO excellently! The playing, the singing, even the video! I saw the Beatles at Candlestick in 1966 and I'm so happy that you're bringing this music to another generation of fans.

[@robinmoore3618]

Brilliant as always.

[@TheMaineSurveyor]

The Beatles enjoyed "girl group" songs, such as Chains, Please Mister Postman, and Baby It's You. You're Going To Lose That Girl is a fantastic nod to those songs.

[@michaellennon9427]

Funny that now the Mona Lisa Twins cover the Beatles...

[@tomgray6123]

What a great job !

[@deborahporter2767]

Absolutely brilliant, thanks so much Mike👏👏👏

[@MPfrance]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@richardmercado587]

Always a pleasure to see and hear your videos Mike, stay well and keep teaching us !!!!

[@Ciscoho]

One of my favourite fun doo-wop Beatles songs. Super Mike. I needed a smile today.

[@st.charlesstreet9876]

Enjoyed it so much that it gave a complete renewal of my love for the song. Thank You for the excellent breakdown and performance!

[@coupedeville]

That made me smile. Thanks so much, Mike. You’re the best.

[@davidkeithw]

Hi Mike. I am no guitar player but I am an avid Beatles fan since buying my Please Please Me album back in the day...! I dip into your youtube channel frequently and I just love getting to see your insights as to how they put these amazing classic songs together and what a joy to see you recreate the whole thing at the end...! Well done....!! David

[@erict1917]

Loved it. Fabulous vocals!

[@theblytonian3906]

Thanks Mike. Had already learned this song long ago, but your tute taught me more. Very much appreciate the input of your vast experience, knowledge, and attention to detail, always.

[@michaeloberly6129]

Great choice, Mike. Absolutely flawless, as usual.

[@MPfrance]

Michael - I'm humbled by your VERY kind words. Thank you!

[@sergegirard9712]

Great Mike !

[@thomrossetti9554]

Excellent as always Mike!! I don't think anyone on the net gives the background information you do on one of the most remarkable bands of our time. Thanks.

[@jeffreycrum6557]

Love love love the lessons and sound alikes. I look forward to seeing and trying them out.

[@rob_in_stowmarket_uk]

Aawww! Great stuff, Mike! One of my favourites of the earlier Beatles catalogue… just love the interaction of the main vocal and BV parts. Great song to play, and sing the multi-part vocals. Just 🤬 excellent! Thanks. 👍

[@williamthomas3515]

I must have heard this song a 1000 times and would never have thought those were the chords. Sounded great Mike. I did think the lead was more complex, well you make it look easy.

[@joshwmusic6838]

Simply amazing! Thanks a lot Mike

[@kiplindsay1250]

Well, just dang! That was a blast to watch.

[@sapelesteve]

That was over the top fantastic Mike! One of my all time favorite Beatles tunes! John's vocals & their combined harmonies are just amazing & pure musical genius! Thank you Mike & hope that you are doing well & staying safe! 👏👏👍👍😉😉

[@54macdog]

I love these!

[@AlanStransman]

One of the interesting aspects of the evolution of the Beatles' sound throughout their history is the fact that, for me, at least, as time went on, the sound of the Beatles became predominantly the sound of McCartney's voice, in its many forms - Hey Jude, Helter Skelter, Lady Madonna, Long Tall Sally ,Golden Slumbers, Back in the U.S.S. R....- McCartney was, in my opinion, the best pop/rock vocalist of all time - he was the one guy you would choose if you were starting a band and you could only have one lead singer. But in the early days - and I was about 12 when the Beatles arrived on the scene so i was paying attention - the dominant sound of the band was Lennon's voice - Please Please Me, Twist and Shout, Hard Days Night, From Me to You, Ticket to Ride, Help, etc. and while he was not as versatile, perhaps, as Paul, he was great - absolutely recognizable, unmistakable and brilliant. Somewhere along the way, Lennon stopped sounding like he did on this song and adopted the softer sound of Julia, Dear Prudence, Sexy Sadie and others. But Lennon's powerful vocals established the Beatles' sound and great as our friend Mike is, he cannot match them because nobody could. Nobody....

[@flythething193]

Interesting points! I also think Lennon sang in a more powerful way in the earlier phase. Really like the covers on With the Beatles. Another funny thing is that on many live reordings Lennons vocals are dominating on She loves you, despite Paul is singing the upper harmony.

[@billydeewilliams9104]

Lennon was the moody songs and Paul was the happy tunes.

[@tubahead16]

Swell said and I agree 100.%

[@richardcooper4206]

Billy Dee, yesterday and Eleanor rugby and she's leaving home aren't happy tunes. but I know what you mean

[@stepitup5409]

Always excellent video info

[@xtrofilm]

Those four lads were off another planet.

[@berrykrautboy5368]

Mike, you are a dedicated heir of the Fab 4 and your performance of this song is absolutely brillant!!! From Germany with best regards...

You the best Mike !

Maybe my favorite Beatles tune, especially the Help studio scene. Thanks Mike

[@theborba1970]

Adoro essa música. Tráz uma sensação muito boa. Thanks Mike !

[@Audiea]

Beyond fantastic. You nail it. Some where in the distance George Harrison is thrilled by you.

[@felixstalkaboutmusic6419]

Very underrated song form a very underrated album. Great video Mike!!

[@Robert-ox7jo]

I am super impressed Mike. I just found this You Tube instruction thing recently and find it helpful. When I was just learning guitar, it was a matter of listening to every 5 second section a dozen times or more and ruining lots of records to get the details of what was being played, and often getting it wrong anyway. I wish this was available in the 60's! Having said that, I find that you are always right, and spot on in your playing and instruction. Thanks for being you and sharing all the talent you have. I love the way you incorporate a bit of history into the vids, and discuss the background of the songs, especially having grown up with the Beatles and their incredible music. (There will never be another band like them!) I also love the way you are talented enough to bring the finished piece together with all the parts being played by you, into a coherent finale. I appreciate all you share, thanks!

[@individrus]

One of my favorite songs. Thanks so much

[@633squadrongoodwin]

I know nothing about Guitar playing but love the Beatles..............and your videos, thank you.
