This channel primarily celebrates the music of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr by providing acoustic guitar lessons for many of their songs - with an emphasis on the lesser known solo works. Artists who influenced the Beatles and artists who worked with or were inspired by the Beatles will also be periodically featured. These guitar lessons are personal arrangements for the songs and are not intended to be note for note duplications of the recordings.
The channel also features a recurring series called "Saturday Night with Tom Petty" where I cover and teach a new Tom Petty song every week. I also occasionally feature original compositions and collaborations with other UA-cam creators and artists.
All videos are grouped into playlists using the artist name for easy reference.

Behind Blue Eyes (Reimagined) | The Who | Cover

The Who classic "Behind Blue Eyes" reimagined with only strings and woodwinds - JT
"Behind Blue Eyes" is a song by English rock band the Who. It is the second single from the band's fifth album, Who's Next (1971), and was originally written by Pete Townshend for his Lifehouse project. The song is one of the Who's best-known recordings and has been covered by many artists, including Limp Bizkit. The single entered the US Billboard Charts on 6 November 1971, reaching No. 34.
"Behind Blue Eyes" originated after a Tommy Tour concert in Denver, on 9 June, 1970. Following the performance, Townshend became tempted by a female groupie, but he instead went back to his room alone, possibly as a result of the teachings of his spiritual leader, Meher Baba. Upon reaching his room, he began writing a prayer, the first words being "When my fist clenches, crack it open ..." These words later appeared as lyrics in the "climactic rocking section" of "Behind Blue Eyes."
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
Mm, mm
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

I have to admit I’ve never heard this before. Really enjoyed it my friend from what I heard here. Great mix 👍
@@SillyCoverSongs - While it received a fair share of radio play in the 80’s in the States, it was a staple on MTV as a music video. I’m not a big fan of music videos, but it was pretty iconic in an 80ish sort of way.😊
This song is a big favorite of mine and I even covered it once myself, though since removed. Super job with this Tim! Great instrumentation and vocals, loved it all. Super video too, big like my friend.
@@kennethholmbergoriginalmus2582 - Thanks Ken. This song always takes me right back to MTV and the 80’s. Not my favorite music decade, but some gems for sure.😊
Not a fan of this band but great arrangement Tim ! 🎸🎹🎻🥁🎵🎶
Cheers judge great cover and tutorial as usual. And also do you think you’ll be bringing back Saturday night with Tom petty
@@JosephWheater - Thanks. No plans to bring back the Petty Sat night show only because I covered most of the songs already. But I will continue to cover Petty on occasion on the channel. 🎩🎸☮️
Ok cheers judge
Well done judge great cover
Thanks for listening Joseph! 😊🎸☮️👌
Love this Tim, cracking tune and loved the video. Brilliant 👍 great soloing my friend 👌
@@SillyCoverSongs - Cheers mate. This was my first song written on bass guitar.😊
What a GEM this song is! I just listened to an interview this week with Randall Marsh on the Breakdown with Mike Campbell on the TP XM RADIO… i do love his vocals on this, he said this song was his first experience singing in public…!Thankyou for this tutorial.. so Much fun learning to play it!!!💘🎸

Beautiful song!!! I do so struggle also with singing and strumming patterns… slowing it down def helps!! Thankyou!!! And love the SWEATER!!🎸💙🎸💛🎸💚🎸💛🎸🧡
@@julierobinson2860 - Thanks Julie! Wildflowers is a masterpiece. 🎩🎸☮️
My second listen of just the music & I love the bass & keys & your new Logo looks great, JT ~ Happy Weekend!
@@BeatlesGirlKaren - Thank you so much BGK! I like instrumentals, mainly so I can avoid my voice. And the logo was a gift from my oldest son. I like it too. He said it took him about 10 seconds… 🧐
LOL
I think I said this when you first showed it to me. It has a great element of suspense and almost slapstick feel. It certainly adds to the confusion of bitcoin but as always it’s super well structured and thought out. The bass stood out a lot in this. Well played and made mate 👍👌🥂
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney - Thanks so much Lee as always. I believe the only song I ever wrote on a bass guitar. Cheers. More 80’s tomorrow…
Lovely!!
Truly appreciate all the HEART💘💘 and energy you put into your videos… I can always count on you when I’m trying to learn a new TP SONG…and so enjoy sharing your love of TOM PETTY’s Music with us💘💘💘💘

😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly what the real Dennis Quaid would want you to think. Can’t fool us!
@@Fur_LeRuf_20 - True 🤣
Super catchy and listenable. This may be one of your best works yet, lyrics or not.
Loved the player piano vibe as well, everything was perfectly blended just right.
Just gave it my second listen and I'm loving this!
This was a true masterpiece Tim, your best instrumental to date, showing your brilliant talent and originality. Although Adam joked about it, you could easily put some great lyrics in this and I'm sure, once Leeroy hear this, that's exactly what he'll suggest doing with you. I literally LOVED this, amazing instrumentation throughout. HUGE like Tim, most impressive.
@@kennethholmbergoriginalmus2582 - Wow Ken, four comments on one song. That must be a record for my channel and certainly deserves a pin! As far as I can recall, this is the first and only time I ever composed on a bass guitar. I just added all the other layers after that. So glad you enjoyed as I know you are not particularly fond of instrumentals. Thanks again for your very kind words.😊🎸🎹☮️👌
@@judgetimbers I'm not just saying this but I really loved this! It was brilliant and super catchy even without words. I sincerely hope that somehow You Tube gets this out among the throngs, because I'd really love to see this do especially well. But as we know, things generally don't happen like that often here. All I can say is that I completely loved it.
@@kennethholmbergoriginalmus2582 - Thanks again, but as you said not much chance it will receive any exposure. But that’s OK with me. Have a great weekend.
Awesome bass tone & playing Tim ! 🎸🎸🎹🎻🥁🎵🎶 How long did it take to write the lyrics ? Ha !
