Tremendous, tremendous, tremendous Mr. Popkin. Well done to say the least. About George and John's parts - amazing. John's chord choices and arpeggios are simply other-worldly.

[@garyarnold3141]

For me, this has to be George Harrison's best lead guitar work ever. He improved so much by the time he played on this album, it's astonishing.

[@rockturtleneck]

Great job. George Harrison might be the most tasteful guitarist who ever lived.

[@thomaswood8167]

Agree 100%! I also think that the chord progression he plays when McCartney sings “came true today” is a variation of the progression he played during the middle of Badge by Cream, and a variation of the chords played at the beginning of Ringo’s “It Don’t Come Easy “

[@rockturtleneck]

@@thomaswood8167 Sounds right, and is definitely the same arpeggio style in all 3.

[@rallymonke2323]

He is

[@hanymgamal]

Yeah but it should be mentioned that Lennon plays the last solo

[@sampopkin]

@@hanymgamalactually George played all the solos on this one

[@RockinAllDay]

Your best cover. Not joking in the slightest. It's ACTUALLY PERFECT.

[@sampopkin]

😁🤘

[@MichaelSokil]

Agreed!

[@seagullshame]

Amazing work. George’s playing on Abbey Road is next level. I’m impressed how you nailed the tones. The Deco really does that tape modulation sound wonderfully

[@sampopkin]

Thanks!

[@MiguelDaguerre]

If I had to pick my five favorite Beatles songs, this song would be on the chart. It's wonderful, it never bores me

[@StereoClassics]

It's so cool how this song feels like it transitions to a new song every 30 seconds. I agree with the other commenter; your best cover!

[@sampopkin]

Thanks! ❤️ It’s kind of similar to sgt pepper or bohemian rhapsody in that way. I love how varied it is

[@matthewhogg5428]

Prog rock before prog rock!

[@TwoBeats]

You nailed the tone once again! That's incredible Sam!! Well Done

[@ashishpanwar909]

Best cover of this song on KZbin. The tone. The licks. The solo. The arpeggios. You played them exactly the same. Thanks for putting it out.

[@sampopkin]

✌🏻

[@zachh3791]

Can't stop listening to this. Something about this track's guitars has always spoke to me, and hearing you playing it perfectly in isolation is just magical. Thank you.

[@imdrrich]

Geez, Sam - if anything was ever played note perfect, that was it! Truly awesome work!

[@Drenwickification]

One of my favourite beatles songs... such a sublime track. Paul's amazing melodies and singing... john and george's guitars and angelic backing vocals, and ringo providing the perfect beat. What a song.

[@lexmirnov]

What amazes me the most is how simple their music seems to be and maybe actually is composition-wise. As if one could make such songs like a factory, all the hooks and patterns are evident. And still noone is able to. Thanks for another excellent cover.

[@haywardjr.4671]

Thank ya' so much,Mr.P. Your talent highlights what incredible musical craftsmen they really were.

[@sampopkin]

Thank you!

[@Strangelove_]

That bend that George does at 2:10 sounds so good double tracked great work Sam!

[@curtis11214]

Holy man i’m blown away.. A lot of this was stuff I had kind of guessed and figured out after listening a lot, like the “One sweet dream…” section. But the solo and “out of college” section I had so many misinterpretations that you made me realize! Great job as always this is freaking amazing man keep it up!

[@brenthooton3412]

Great tone... to the point that I was shocked when the bass didn't come in at 0:47 .

[@vicentemontequin4113]

My favourite song! How neat was this performance!

[@dimitrisilva6452]

My favourite Beatles song 🤩😍

[@5wet_]

WOW!!! I get home from high school and I see this, the best thing that could happen, nailed it!!!!

[@thedrumdon2485]

I would enjoy so much more if I wasn't always singing along very loudly - amazing work Sam! This is such a great way for me to fill in those blanks from childhood that the chord book just could not translate and only adds to genius of the Beatles!

[@myvalium1]

Flawless- I could watch this over and over !!

[@keitha.9922]

Amazing. I knew that guitar solo of George was double tracked. Love it. Long live the Beatles

[@angeldquintas]

Just like the record! Amazing job!

[@Yorkie285]

You nailed it, making the guitar sound just like the original. Way to go. This is the best cover on KZbin.

[@Nikelegal]

Absolutely PERFECT!! It's first time I've seen someone completely nail this song, great job!

[@itsthatdudegavin]

By far one of my favorite Abbey Road songs, and you have certainly done it justice! Nice job Sam!

[@scat3040]

Absolutely sick. It's so dumb how the Hey Jude story gets talked about way more than the countless times G and P were in perfect harmony. An incredible, loving guitar part for a Paul at his peak song

[@afonsobarradas6036]

What Hey Jude story??

[@sampopkin]

@@afonsobarradas6036 paul telling George not to play guitar on Hey Jude. Was a sore spot in their relationship. But with You Never Give Me Your Money there was more camaraderie

[@scat3040]

@andrewg9457 and also george's suggested part on HJ was a shit idea. Paul was right

[@flewawayandaway4763]

@@scat3040 you talk like you 've listened to the guitar parts. Better stick to your scat fetish

[@MrKlaymanTom]

@@scat3040True. And the ‘Hey Jude’ mention during the rehearsals for ‘Two Of Us’, where George’s antagonism of Paul (and Paul’s domineering, defensive nature) show that sometimes…like an older brother you hate to admit is correct… you don’t always know best.

[@NUKE.2024]

Sam, you're the Man! The effects are spot on; the interlude at 1"48 is awesome. Thanks for posting.

[@kevincarrion381]

Amazing mate.!! Please dont stop never.. love your videos

[@ajr1215]

Thank you, thank you for this cover Sam! Simply superb!

[@isaiah.fabela]

greatest cover i've ever seen

[@punkinlady1039]

That fuzz trick is very much something Jimi Hendrix also used live all the time. With a strat or a casino it creates a lovely almost sparkly sound when the volume is low.

[@sampopkin]

Yes! Jimi was the king of that. Also brian may who did that with his treble booster

[@MichaelLantz]

According to Andy Babiuk "Beatles Gear: The Ultimate Edition All The Fab Four’s Instruments From Stage To Studio 1956-1970 There were two people using an Arbiter Fuzz Face in 1969.one was Jimi Hendrix who used it at Woodstock and George Harrison on the "Get Back Session and Abbey Road sessions" in 1969

[@TheVinylBeatles]

That was incredible ! You´re a great perfectionist

[@3155DOGMAN]

The genius of The Beatles especially of George's guitar work.

[@shocko77]

Really love this song and im glad that you've done it

[@3155DOGMAN]

Of all the people/groups who do Beatle covers you are far and away the absolute best.

[@denisgolbin6977]

Amazing cover! The spirit is caught ❤️

[@gnukev]

This is probably my favorite Beatles song and I love how it starts the "medley" and the reprise of it with orchestration in during "Golden Slumbers". You really nailed the guitar parts and I'm especially impressed that you got those beautifully low soulful licks that are nearly buried under the original production starting about 1:49, during the bridge. Spectacular! It's like hearing the song again for the first time when I was a kid in 1969. Look forward to looking at your other vids. Thank you.

[@thewhaleking]

Sounds SOOOOOO good that i listened to it for over a 100 times and still not enough!!

[@sampopkin]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ignaciomartinez2102]

harrison’s contribution on this is legendary, and so is your cover!!

[@fb1767]

The perfect cover doesn't exi...

[@FrankPisaniMusic]

The multiple sections of this song are so different in vibe but yet they're all equally awesome! Fantastic recreation, Sam! 👌

[@TroyCroom]

You just reminded me how much I loved this track when I first heard the LP, Christmas 1969. Great writing, but the recordings are even better, George's warm licks in particular. Gorgeous textures and you nail them all, my friend. And, my God, your guitars - as gorgeous to see as to hear. That Epiphone might be the prettiest axe ever. Dang.

[@TheMujiFuji]

Tones tones tones….Great ears Sam! Well done as always. Cheers!

[@pretzelwagonn]

so so good! some of their best guitar work on this one I reckon.

[@imdrrich]

Fantastic, Sam! Thank you!

[@paxguymax2966]

Wow. Just wow. This is incredible! Amazing cover Sam!

[@aldofromsf]

Quintissential Beatles, my favorite! Thank you so much for bringing them back to enjoy. 🙏

This man’s got it! 🔥🔥🔥

[@yurimilanchik4315]

Excellent ! Thank you very much !

[@epii1073]

YOU NAILED IT MY FRIEND! YOU HAVE AN AMAZING EAR! Many others on YT who do these Beatle tutorials, not so much. I'm a 66 year old Beatles aficionado (especially with McCartney) and I too play Beatle parts (guitar, piano and bass) to a high degree of accuracy. I am VERY critical of KZbin Beatle song tutorials but you get an A+++ on this. Very nice indeed, I'd even go so far as to say perfection. Your pull-offs, bends and slides are all spot on. That's where most people flub up. And your guitar FX are as close as is humanly possible. And most importantly, YOU GOT ALL THE NOTES RIGHT! Again, many other YT tutorials just... don't. So, BRAVO to you! BTW, aren't the guitars in this song beautiful?!!! I've loved the guitar parts in this song since I was a teenager. Thanks for posting this, especially for all future Beatle tribute bands. :)

[@sampopkin]

Thank you for the kind words! We are kindred souls in wanting to find the most accurate way to play these songs. I don’t always get it 100% right but am trying. Nice to hear these videos are helpful

[@AlbieSol560]

Brilliant! Makes you really appreciate George as a great guitarist.

[@ericthiel4053]

The tone you achieve for this is amazing!! Definetly up there as one of the best covers Ive heard period!!

[@charanguitoandino]

The sound of Lucy is superb, and your work too!

[@chramos2003]

I love you videos! I find it a nice opportunity to appreciate George's work in details

[@tommytheanimal1495]

Been waiting for this one for a while. Well done, Sam.

[@peanutserver]

This is so perfect

[@danhartwigPerch]

That was Excellent,makes me appreciate one of my favorite songs even more..

[@sampopkin]

Thanks Michael ❤️ That means a lot coming from you

[@juanc.moreno1634]

¡Muy buen trabajo Sam! Siempre Beatles...¡Grandes!

[@markstone2153]

That tone is sublime, perfect!

[@Alxvndro]

It's like hearing a new song honestly. Eye opening how well not only how intricate the songs really are but also to how well you're researching for us to provide quality and accurate videos.

[@idolhanz9842]

Masterpiece- masterful performance .

[@JustAWriter12]

Beautiful!

[@leonardblush2557]

Beautiful. My favorite Abbey Road track.

[@patrikcalloch7953]

tout ce que j'aime dans la guitare depuis ;;;; 72 merciiiii!!

[@DrGildovideosculturaisSimoes]

Also incredible, as the others songs you shows how the guitars were played. Congratulatios.

[@ordepsmusic]

One of my favorites beatles tune. You could lower the guitar volume, put Paul's voice and say it was the original thing to me and I'd not notice LOL. Great job, Sam!

[@debomb721]

The recording probably can’t be loud because of copyright

[@sampopkin]

@@debomb721I had to record my own piano for the intro and remove the vocals to avoid getting blocked. I kept in Ringo’s drums

[@teresakirchner7892]

Brilliant. One my favorites. Beautiful guitar work here.

[@knarf_]

Excellent, as usual 👍🎶

[@woodenbeast9337]

speechless

[@KarynCatharino]

Absolutely amazing!

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

This entire part is one of my favorite Beatles guitar moments (out of millions)! You nailed it! Your tone is PERFECT! I'm about to buy both of those pedals. (edited for error)

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Just purchased the Analogman pedal from their website!

[@sampopkin]

🤘I have like 15 of his pedals. They are all incredible

[@brandonkew9122]

Perfection

[@pedrogirardi3142]

You're the god of tone!!

[@sampopkin]

That’s all Beatles

[@perfectpiano1871]

Great tone and sound, that's probably the closest the record I've ever heard someone cover. Good job.

[@robertludwig4395]

Brilliant job!

[@jacklfirth]

i’m so happy right now sam!!

[@AMBSBC]

Just brilliant - you have the sound/feel exactly. I love Abbey Road and have listened to it hundreds of times.. John Lennon said something like 'We're back to being the 'clever beatles' again (we know and love how he liked to write off Beatles achievements at times) . Well I could listen to 'clever' all day long. So, so talented as a group. The Peter Jackson 'Get Back' didn't focus on Abbey Road, unfortunately (which would have been the best for me) but brilliant to see them towards the end. Thanks for posting.

[@sampopkin]

Thanks for the kind words

this is amazing !! great job sam :)

[@imarealperson-5412]

Managed to find an uploaded acetate on a collection of bootlegs of the unedited take 30, but couldn't heard John's playing until you pointed out that he did play live in the recording. What I like most about that bootleg is how the breakdown at the end turns into a 12-bar blues jam. It's a fun bit of chaos that'll bring a smile to anyone fortunate enough to obtain a copy of it.

[@sampopkin]

So cool! There is the outtake from abbey road box set. That helped me determine who played what on the backing track

[@imarealperson-5412]

Right, I completely forgot about that! Anyways, I'd love to invite you to that bootleg collection if you have Telegram.

[@sampopkin]

I don’t have telegram. Email me?

[@imarealperson-5412]

It's a bit difficult to explain. Mind if I text you on Insta?

[@sampopkin]
