you broke it down so nice. One hour later I'm playing along with the album. Girlfriend calls me George now.
I had trouble wrapping my head around just how unique this solo is! Thanks for demystifying this!
One of the best solos ever written
You play this so freaking well. And the Tone is unmatched. Just beautiful. Listening to the original Beatle recording the guitar is almost drowned out imo. So much dull noise going on as George plays. Thanks for the great lesson. I joined up because its so good!
This is probably the best guitar solo tutorial I've seen on UA-cam. I a beginner (2 years into it) and using exclusively UA-cam. Previously watched a John Mayer vid where he implored the importance of understanding the scales from which the solo came. So the foundation you laid down at the beginning was excellent. Thank You!!
The best guitar tutorial on here, thanks so much! I thought I'd never be able to play this solo. It took me 3 days but I'm finally there. Thanks!
Another amazing lesson, thank you so much! What an amazing melodic solo. I Appreciate how you talk about the scales used in all your lessons. Which, as a beginner, I always wanna skip over and just learn the solo -but I think I’m starting to appreciate how important it is to know what chords you are soloing over and what the scales are so -thank you for going into such depth and explaining everything carefully. You are an awesome teacher and an incredible guitar player. (And vocalist ! ) THANKS AGAIN👍👍❤️❤️🎸🎸
Just a Tremendous lesson! So well done Rob… You are a tremendous teacher, thank you for covering this beautiful song!
Of all the video tutorials that I seen on youTube, this one is the best. Plus, the added analysis was an added bonus.
Best lesson on this solo I've never seen. Actually I'm gona practice the scales a lot before starting the solo. A lot of fun! Thanks!
Wow...great solo. Always enjoy your lessons. I've learned from you all those years. Thanks Rob 🎶🎶🎶
Very well taught. Nice breakdown and easy-to-understand. Thank You!
I've learned two of George's solos from you. Thanks mate!
You should make a series on every song in abbey road so I can play the whole album in one go

Agree
I agree
Thank you! Easy to follow with all the bits of information that I wanted. Subscribed!
That`s just what I needed. You are the best one!!! Saludos desde Santiago, Chile.
wena wn 😎
Very useful tutorial thanks. Clearly explained and very much appreciated.
Never thought I could play solos, I thought I was just a rhythm guy, so absolutely ecstatic to have your lesson give me the belief and ability to play one of my favourites - thank you, sir! But I have found out that I am SO BAD at bends..I just can't make it sound right/bend as easily as you make it look/bend without catching the above string and sounding awful 😪 Hopefully with enough practise they'll get better, but it's disheartening when you have the rest of it down! Thanks again, your videos are excellent 🙂
How is this going for you now? I also deal with this, and my teacher showed me how to mute the strings I’m bending into by using the edge of my picking hand. Just let it rest on those strings and see if that works for you.
Great job sir, great teacher as well. Thank you.
Thank you for the logic behind each lick. Very helpful!
NEVER heard this lick. NOW I HAVE TO LEARN IT HERE!!😆🙌
not only a great teacher but also a great player
Fantastic lesson Rob! Thanks so much 🎸👍
Super lesson; thank you.
Nice lesson mate. Digging your vibe!
Great Lesson!
the best guitar lesson.. ❤
Helpful lesson. You showed me something that I didn't know I had wrong. Thank you.
Excellent lesson bravo I learned this from your video and loved I could look up lick by lick and could find it on your timeline. That being said just watching you play the solo itself I was able to listen and recreate the riffs. Not all but some. Thanks 🙏 I stopped and have not finished learning it all but had to comment on your work here. Thanks 🙏
The best Guitar lesson
BJ
thank you for teaching this I haven't found a good lesson for this so far so thanks
I never thought I could play it. I got it , thank you very much. All the best from barcelona
You played that beautifully & the sound was dead on.
Thanks
Nice work! One of the greatest guitar solos of all-time! 🎸🔥
This is awesome thanks
you have a nice way of teaching, thank you.
wow love how you broke it down thats help me soooo much
Great lesson, bravo et merci beaucoup 😊
Very thorough lesson. Thanks
what can I say you are the best, Thanks a lot.
So informative 🙂
Excellent work, thanks
hi, i enjoyed the explanation of the chords and note changes .. well done ...a great video ..Thanks
I am not sure if someone already pointed it out, but in the second to last lick there seems to be missing a single 8highE string pluck before the 8to10 hammeron during the slow demonstration, but you play it in the begining demonstration and during the last recap. Just a minor thing, the tutorial is excellent and helped me learn my favourite song and solo!
Thanks for this. You're a very good teacher!
Great solo! Hugs from Brazil!!!
You have fingers designed for string instruments, a natural. Nice lesson, I learned 'something',
Beautiful!!! Thank you
Excellent solo lesson thankyou
Beatles, the best! ❤️
Cheers I got it.great video as usual 😀👍
Such a great lesson I can play it very slowly
Great job much appreciated
Obrigado pela instrução, muito fundamental para por tudo a tempo,e obrigado pela simplicidade, com a qual,nos transmite um conhecimento tão complicado,mas que se torna simples com o acompanhamento de um instrutor tão dedicado.Gratidão por toda vida,meu mestre;gracias!
best guitar teacher on UTube😅
amazing lesson
A perfect lesson.
Thanks mate.That solo has definitely improved my bends and their use .Cheers from Oz
Ive also been looking for this. You definitely know how to break a song down to make it easier for me to learn.
I can play the song but skip.the solo. I hope this fits the way i play
More, more, more!
Damn I'm early
Great video as always
Very nice, thank you!
Great play ! . I hope you also will make a video on the rhythm guitar for this song
That was good 👍🏻
Brilliant 👏
I have lern a lot thanks

Ur the man!
I Like the way you progress through the Licks Note By Note i was able to follow it fairly quick, i was playing it for a while but i did not have it quite correct , Cheers P.D.
¡Gracias!
Love this, everyway you've sorted it out. Learning this with a friend. For a request, the Jimmy Page solo of Since I've Been Loving you... Thanks for what you do.
Thanks
Thank you
George Harrison is not the most technically gifted guitarist but his solos are very thoughtful and bluzy . One of the most underrated guitarist in my opinion
Liked and subscribed and shared
Nice👍
good!
Obrigado amigo! voce é sensacional! Deus te abençoe sempre! abç
Beautiful. I just started learning at 55 and my goal is play this. Only been at it for one week. Will check back after lots more practice.
Also, can you do a tutorial for the intro of ‘When the Night Comes’ by The Boomtown Rats? Cheers!
Execellent
So nice.
Hope you'll teach cliff richard's ocean deep someday.
is there a tab of this solo available. This is best lesson that I've seen of this solo. There is however a lot to remember.
How about OCTOPUS GARDEN solo!!
Oh hell yeah, I’m putting that on the list!
That is a great tune.....I figured most of it out but could use some assist in certain parts !
I've been learning this little bit the last couple days but I've only played casually a few years. The fast bending 7s towards the ending are my problem
Very lucky guitarist can have many subscribers with this guitar skills
Thanks that was a great lesson [ can you also demonstrate the song ''That boy'' as well please ]
George was so meticulous and tasteful in his lead playing. Good lord.
Ok. How about the acoustic and electric solos in Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat"?
Sounds amazing, could you do a video on I Promise You, Johnny Cash please.
there a tons of lessons on Something but this one sounds as close as possible to get. Thanks
Hello, how can I set my combo for this sound? Thank you very much
Um fofo toca muito lindo 👏
If possible could you give some info re your singers . I'd like to follow them . They're outstanding .
Great lesson...how about lead to “I Don’t Want To Spoil the Party”
Very simple lick to listen to but it takes long time to learn
Can you pleas post a solo tutorial for a song of Lionel Ritchie " Stuck on You" Thank you for all your tutotial post.
Great thanks. Can you show how to play Beatles I saw her standing there with solo?
