In this I Want You (She's So Heavy) guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this amazing song off of The Beatles' Abbey Road album in its entirety.
There are two different tunings used in this song. There is John Lennon's guitar part that is in standard tuning. This makes up a majority of the song. At the very end of the song another guitar comes in playing a riff that requires dropped D tuning. Dropped D tuning requires you to take the 6th string (E), and tune it down one whole-step to D giving you DADGBE. However, you can get away with playing most of the song in standard tuning.
I will cover each section in the order that each appears on the original recording. There are some very cool parts to learn here, my favorite being the main arpeggio picked chord sequence.
Have fun with learning this classic! Carl...

More Beatles.

[@TheSnagg13tooth]

This is actually my favorite Beatles song. The way it just cuts off at the end was unique when they've left Ringo's blisters on his fingers in lol.

[@IndividualThoughtPatterns]

Yeh the end is class.

[@Zaydu123]

That's Helter Skelter

[@OivaJuhani-bv6zn]

Carl, please do Megadeths good mourning black friday!

[@darrenhirtle3142]

Excellent choice, I love the Beatles. I think if you did some Tragically Hip that would be great.

[@alessandromariani99]

I was just practising the initial riff, now I can learn the whole thing. Thanks Carl.
Hope you will approach some early Genesis stuff.

[@nicksguitaracademy2995]

This is awesome Carl. Massive Beatles fan. Sadly if I cover any Beatles songs playing over original it will probably get blocked 🚫 😂😂

[@joem6859]

carl: "precursor to heavy metal"
I've been saying, that imho, it is the first really heavy song, hence the title. that outro is hypnotizing. john was friggin brilliant in so many ways as we all know. Carl, you're the man, thanks for doing this. Is the outro power chords or just doubled guitars?

[@omercohen6701]

Was waiting for this one for a while! Thanks for the amazing lessons Carl!

[@57RickH]

I used to know the arpeggio part but forgot it over the years, been meaning to re-learn it...thank you for this lesson! 👍🏻

[@Damnation3729]

Nice one, can you please do a tutorial for Do Anything Wanna Do by Eddie and the hot rods? And if so, can you please focus a bit on the rhythm, as well?, Cheers

Thank you Carl. God bless you and everyone you love

[@randallpinkfloyd]

Hey Carl, just wondering if you can do a lesson on Derek and the Dominos “Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?” I know the chord progression is basic, but I have an outtake of the song that has Eric’s hidden solo ua-cam.com/video/911jmTN_Tbo/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Half of the solo can be heard on the record, but the first half cannot since it is so low in the mix and covered by Duane’s solo

[@ronaldsweet3484]

Nice!
Ever tried "On the loose" by Saga?
It's giving me fits.😊

[@stanparchaiski5394]

Carl, great lessons, thanks. It’s kind of funny but sometimes that guitar in the background makes it look like you have devil horns. Not sure if anyone else noticed.

[@JaxGoldenGuitar]

Hey Carl you’ve been the best guitar teacher of all time for me since 2008 when u was in 7th grade and I love Phyllis’s wedding when you and your twin are best men next to Michael!
