jaxson50 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Simple genius is in many way much better than complex genius. Many players have commented to me on how simple the Fab Four songs sounded, but when they tried to duplicate that sound they quickly learned it was much more complex than it sounds. I stumbled across this man's videos and really enjoyed them, I hope you do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamc Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I love how excited this guy is about these songs. I feel the same way about a lot of Beatles songs. This is why I love music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 He's right though. I've had people tell me how simple their early stuff was but there is much more going on there than meets the eye. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 He is a bit caddy, but very enthusiastic about teaching, and that's a positive.I really enjoy the Lennon lesson, I always think of John as a great rhythm player, maybe the best. His use of "banjo cords" and his uncanny ability to use shifting time measures was pretty impressive.The man in the vids also takes on other rockers such as Hendrix, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The riff on I Feel Fine is one of my favorites of all time. I always had a hard time playing it. I like the way this guy version, I will give it a shot when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The I Feel Fine lick is very cool and signature, but the All My Loving rhythm guitar part a beginner guitar player should be able to execute after 6 months of playing... I actually find the bass line to be the coolest thing about that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 A friend of mine shared this video with me on Facebook last week. It's the first chord of Hard Days Night. Pretty cool stuff and definitely worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'd seen these before. I'm curious though - March 22 is the 54th anniversary of the release of the 1st Beatles album (Please Please Me) - did you know that or is it just coincidence when you posted this?

Dennis G Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 A friend of mine shared this video with me on Facebook last week. It's the first chord of Hard Days Night. Pretty cool stuff and definitely worth a watch. I saw this several months ago, and agree. It's well worth listening to the "most famous chord" in Rock n Roll, as I've seen it called, and how it's constructed. Just one more reason why the Beatles were the Beatles IMHO. I recall reading somewhere that George Martin recalled that "the boys" knew that this was not only the opening to a song, but their movie as well, and needed to be "special". And so it was...(and still is!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I don't know...they all still sounded like "Beatles," even in their solo work. As, probably the last half (if not more) of their stint as "The Beatles," they were writing on their own, more than collaborating, and used each other as sidemen, along with other's. So...together or apart, they sounded basically the same... even if in somewhat different directions. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxson50 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Here is Mike Pachelli's bio and home page, I'd say he is as qualified as any of us....He's performed all over the U.S. and Europe with some of the most eclectic jazz, blues, pop and rock musicians including Brother Jack McDuff, Albert King, Les & Larry Elgart, Michael Sembello, Crystal Gayle, Barbara Mandrell, Jeanne Mas, Phil Keaggy, Frank Stallone (to name a few) and has done classical symphony concerts touring with Ferrante and Teicher. https://www.mikepachelli.com/bio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 The more I learn about music and guitar playing, the more I realize how GOOD some of the R&R guys really were/are. It may have looked/sounded like they were just sawing cowboy chords, but many times there was a LOT more going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have looked/sounded like they were just sawing cowboy chords, but many times there was a LOT more going on. I bought my first guitar in 1977, took lessons, taught guitar, went to Musician's Institute, played in bands on the road and locally for years. I'm still learning something new every week or every day. Some days I just play for fun and at least 3 days a week I learn new material and going back to some of the older stuff, particularly blues, blues rock and classic rock. I love attempting to capture not just the notes and chords but also the sound and feel. Stuff like these videos posted inspire me to learn/re-learn even more stuff. I was picking along to some Johnny Cash the other day and working on capturing that sound and feel. It's a bit difficult on a Les Paul and not a Telecaster.

Harrison's lead work fit perfectly with Lennon's style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhani Harrison is on record as saying that his Dad didn't get enough recognition for his slide playing.George himself once said sometning to the effect of he'd spent so much time trying to master the sitar that all other guitarists had "moved on" and he needed to find a new voice, hence his slide playing, which I for one, find quite unique and immediately recognizable.
