And I Love Her- The Beatles (Guitar Cover)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- This is one of my favorite Beatles songs, and it was featured in the movie A Hard Day's Night (1964). Written mainly by Paul, it features lead spanish-classical guitar by George Harrison
Recorded on February 27th, 1964 at EMI studios, the backing track featured John on his Gibson J-160e acoustic guitar, George on his Ramirez Estudio classical guitar, Paul on Hofner bass, and Ringo on bongos/claves
The footage from the film-
• The Beatles - And I Lo...
helps to understand some subtleties of John and George's playing.
However a clip from the actual day of recording at EMI-
• The Beatles in EMI Abb...
also aids in uncovering some interesting things
For example, in the film John plays Fsharp minor with this thumb wrapped around the top of the neck. But the EMI footage reveals he was actually playing the chord with a normal barred shape
I'm using my 1966 Gibson J-160e for John's acoustic. It has Ernie Ball pure nickel rock and roll 11-52 strings on it. I'm micing both guitars with my Neumann TLM-103 condenser
For George's guitar, I'm playing an Admira Irene Spanish guitar. I'm using a pick, as George also did (as seen in the film)
Interesting Notes:
0:05 John plays an E6 chord here 022120
0:24 John plays a B chord with his thumb wrapped around the top of the neck, as seen in the film. So he's mostly playing XX4442
0:26 John does not play E6 here, just a normal E chord. But he hits the Low E string hard
0:28 John hits the E chord particularly hard here
0:33 George plays a 'ghost' note on the g-string, which means his fingers were not pressed down correctly so you mostly hear a dead 'plunk' note. I confirmed this in the isolated audio
0:40 George hits another ghost note on the b-string
0:42 George hits a ghost note again on the g-string
0:45 John plays a B7 chord here
0:55 John stops abruptly after the B barred chord
0:58 John transitions from Csharp-minor to G-sharp-minor chords without releasing his barred index finger, so you always hear the high e-string
1:06 John switches from a barred B chord up high, to an open B7
1:10 John stops abruptly after the Fsharp-minor chord
1:17 George hits the b-string slightly late on the A note
1:21 George hits a ghost note on the g-string
1:25 George hits the high Eb note twice in a row
1:29 The song modulates up to Dm, starting with a G minor chord
1:32 John plays D minor- XX3231
1:37 John plays G minor with the thumb wrapped around. Here you hear him slide from D minor to G minor with the high e-string sliding up as well
2:20 George slides up the A-string from 3rd to 5th fret
2:25 The song ends on D major, John playing X00232
2:26 George does a lot of fast sideways vibrato, as seen in the film

The aggressively strummed E major on John's guitar sound exactly like the record, and the Spanish guitar is just incredible
Everything is so spot on. You’ve even got John’s distinctive strumming down to a tee. Well done!
Amazing how you were able to create the almost “ringy” (I’m really not sure how to describe it) sound for Johns guitar
I'm in love with George Harrison's guitar parts
As good as Beatles songs are it's George who colours them in.
That guitar riff is such an integral part of the song that it deserved a writing credit.
@@arnesaknussemm2427 yes it makes the song
Paul has said that it's George's guitar part contribution that really turned his song into a classic masterpiece.
0:26 the hard strumming I love it
Till there was you, maybe next? Loved this one!
Excellent! That D as the final chord was a stroke of genius. Thanks for sharing the video.
Yep, that D major was a nice cap to a brilliant tune. 🙂
This works perfectly as a backing track to play the bass line with. Great as always!
The black and white video only enhances the perfect duplication!
The perfect song if you wanna practice barre chords.
Good! J-160E is Original!
Awesome cover, Sam! This might be one of my favorite AHDN tracks! Hope to see more covers from you!
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend Sam ❤❤❤😂❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
he’s the GOAT
i've never seen anyone nail the chords until now! outstanding job
Beatles good job Sam Poppkin
Nice work Sam! I’d love to see you do ‘till there was you’ with these guitars!
Brad Mehldau has an amazing version of this on his Blues and Ballads album. I like the black and white and wardrobe choices, bringing that early Beatles vibe 😊 Sounds great!
Thanks Nate! Will check it out
Maybe the best one you ever did, probably my favorite.❤❤❤
😎🎸 😎🎸 😎🪘 🥁 😎🎸
Amazing as always ❤️
Thanks Jess! I love your new original song btw
@@sampopkin Thank youuu :)
Incredible 🔥🔥
Sounds just like the record! Fantastic as always!
Thanks David✌🏻
♥♥ Beautiful Playing, Nailed it like always, Much Love♥♥
When don’t you start making videos beetles do you Paul McCartney for me or Ringo Starr or John Lennon I George Harrison please or don’t forget Billy Preston your queen please do you Boston for me like Johnny Cash can you The police please or Phil Collins or Chicago end Journey Watch Stevie Wonder Marvin Gaye
This is a comment!
Strawberry Fields forever should be the next song.
I agree. But with a real Mellotron
Just like the original one!
No more comments!!!
YOU SHOULD DO 'TILL THERE WAS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing Sam! Love ur covers.
Brilliant work!
Had to subscribe after watching this.
l don't think George is using a plectrum, from the footage it seems he is using the classical thumb picking tecnique, although l could be wrong, the Spanish guitar is OP but the anglican musicians just can't play it right for some reason 😂. This cover is perfect by the way. l think John played a barred A major?
Awesome video man, could you do the Anthology version by any chance?
Will do!
@@sampopkinOk, thank you, you’re the best.
Do you have a favourite Beatles song? Mine is probably an odd choice, but I always liked "Blue Jay Way".
When I’m Sixty Four
@@sampopkin great song
What a great song
Day 2 requesting a guitar cover of Isn't It a Pity
Awesome! You nailed it all the way through. Really impressive.
Can you do Paperback Writer guitar?
So so so incredible, man. This was my first guitar solo I ever learned and your version (as always) is so magically faithful!
Was literally just listening to this after rewatching A Hard Days Night, good shit brother keep it up
Bright Aaare the Staaars that Shaain......
Never clicked so fast on a video LOL. I love George's lead in this particular one. Great work, Sam. Sounds identical to the original track
The key change was George Martin’s idea
The fact that The Beatles found each other and then met up with George Martin to produce their recordings is almost enough to make me believe in a Divine being.
Dude this literally sounds like the studio version. Great work!
can you do she's a woman by the beatles?
Does anyone else think that the rhythm guitar sounds a lot like My Sweet Lord?
yeah
I've Just Seen a Face, maybe?? 😍
Excellent work Sam! 👏
Thanks Paul ✌🏻
I’m in awe! I’m so glad you played the correct chords! I’ve played some chords on different positions but this is definitely how it sounds on the album! Do you figure out the chords on your own?
I knew what the chords were already from playing it for years. But getting the exact shapes right for Lennon was interesting, see my description. I referenced the movie
@@sampopkin awesome! thanks for replying! 🙏
absolutely amazing as always man keep up the great work ✌️🫶
Sounds too good! 15/10
Awesome Sam; those triads at 0:30 on the acoustic are spot on !
I love it! 😊❤
There is a black and white clip of John Lennon strumming his guitar and making a face to the camera. I’m pretty sure it was this song. (I don’t know if it was a rehearsal or actual recording).
That was on the day of actual recording!
Yeah❤thats it🎉
hi 11 hours
Haha sometimes I just play the melody section also with guitar. A really good song to play.
Beautiful, I just love how seamless the key change is
that last D chord on this song is good
it makes no sense, but it sounds so good
The Music Theory term for that is a Picardy Third! All though I'm certain they had no clue it had a name haha!
Smashing
What brand of strings and gauge are using on the J 160 E? The tone sounds just like the recording!
Ernie ball rock and roll pure nickel 12-52 roundwounds
I'm a new subscriber and that was just awesome. Thanks for this video.
Welcome aboard!
Perfection 😉
Excellent. Thank you.
Genial, muy bien ejecutado
Amazing
Always amazed me how they just suddenly slow the tempo and raised the key by a half-step on the bridge - and yet it completely works and allows the song to end in a higher register, yielding a final satisfying shift from E to... D?!.
Nice video, I was not able to comment earlier due to the fact that I got my braces this week and been in a little pain, and this video came out the day I got them. Today, I went to chicago Music Exchange to play some guitars and got the opportunity to play a real 56 and 64 j160. All I can say is that they sound amazing
Beautiful❤
E may be E7?
when you did the rhythm guitar did your fretting hand get exhausted quickly? now that's a test of endurance for any guitar player.
I don’t think so for this one, but when I do 12 string definitely. Or certain songs with a lot of bar chords
@@sampopkin u certainly did a lot of barre chords
Awesome!
cool
That gibson is spot on
Beautiful 😊
life recently for me is pretty sad for me and I've been listening to this to cheer me up. You did it beautifully and u made me cry
Great!
Incredible as always Sam! Do you think we’ll ever get any more Doors songs on your channel? I’d love to see you tackle some of the tracks from Strange Days
Yes I’m starting work on one of the earlier covers soon
@@sampopkin I can’t wait!
Beautiful song and an excellent cover! Love Beatles forever!
The tones and playing as always are so spot on. Excellent job Sam.
Would you love to try keytar and tenor banjo
Can’t believe i used to HATE this tune when i started listening to Beatles.🥲🥲 Very well done, sounds just like the recording.😉
I need a day in the life acoustic guitar
I suppose there should be E6 chord instead of simple E after each verse (during "and i love her).
I thought so too but isolated tracks reveal he just played E
What kind of strings did you put on your Gibson J-160E?
I have Ernie ball rock and roll pure nickel roundwounds. A custom set 11-52
@@sampopkin So you use roundwounds for the most part?
@@elirosen1391 yeah I love flatwounds but just can’t get the tones or bends I want out of them. On basses they’re a must though
@@sampopkin Did John, Paul and George usually opt for flats or rounds on their guitars?
@@elirosen1391 watch guitar gear connection’s video which confirms which guitars use flats or rounds
Excellent work 👏 👍
Hi Sam i'd like to get your two cents please. Do you think George could play certain chords that John maybe couldn't?
Yes I think George was much better with his chord vocabulary, like augmented diminished and #9 chords. But Lennon did know a lot of those too
@@sampopkin Thanks Sam, appreciate your answer :)
Just great!
The backing track actually had George playing the claves. George's iconic part was overdubbed separately.
Most sources list ringo on bongos and claves
@@sampopkin Well then most sources are wrong. haha Ringo couldn't have been playing both at the same time. The claves are on the same track as Paul's live vocals, not with the bongos, bass and guitar. There's an earlier remake session where George tried to play guitar on the basic track but it didn't work out for whatever reason.
@@RingoStarr39 I think their point was that ringo overdubbed the claves after the bongos
@@sampopkin Like I said, it's on the same track as Paul's live vocals. It wasn't overdubbed.
George Harrison played a rare Framus Hootnany acoustic with nylon strings I believe.
Awesome cover Sam!
The Hootenanny was their 12 string acoustic guitar. George played his Ramirez classical on this one
@@sampopkin I stand corrected, your right. Thanks for the info Sam. I wonder where or who has possession of the Hoot right now? Yoko oh no, Paul or Dahni??? Do you have any idea?
@@UDX4570PalmSprings-yh1mv not sure! That’s a great question
Thanks!
Ah thanks!!
