Yeah, the Beatles were famous for that. Well, they were famous for a lot of reasons, of course, but their chords--they have been driving me crazy for almost 60 years, trying to figure out their odd little deviations. They did it all the time. Probably one of the million things that made them different from everybody else.
If Lennon and McCartney had never met, John would have been a Sid Vicious and Paul would have been a Barry Manilow. The stars aligned and the world changed.
@Nobody_Important_Yea ...and since the different lineup would mean the breakup probably never happened, The Beatles would again play live, where Paul McManilow would cut his bare chest w/broken glass, then audience-surf while spreading peanut butter all over himself...
I always learn so much from these videos. The first thing I learned on this one was that John played the lead! Never thought as much, since it's such a departure from his signature slashing, rhythmic style. Also, Harrison's "dissonant chord" is also used in the break of "I Want You ...", before the "she's so heavy" choruses ...
Although this is an excellent video, I’ve learned how to play it with a capo on the fourth fret playing very similar notes, which I believe are probably the harpsichord notes. After listening to the isolated guitar part here and comparing to the finished product with the harpsichord I prefer the latter. It’s also easier to play. Thanks, though
Yes! Love it! Thanks Doug. One of the greatest Beatles songs. John seems to have been fond of the arpegio style of playing on Abbey Road. Because, Sun King and possibly the next song you'll be tackling (hopefully) I Want You (She's So Heavy) all incorporate arpeggios.
I think after his India trip where he learnt fingerpicking from Donovan a lot of his white album songs and abbey road songs were arpeggios. Dear Prudence, Julia, Happiness is a Warm Gun and as you mentioned several Abbey Road songs, including Octopus Garden.
Holy CATS! What an undertaking - and what kind of mad genius writes a guitar arrangement like that??? Oh, right, John did 😀 The kind of thing where even with the heavy lifting all done and laid out for you, you know it's still gonna take you a solid couple months to get close. Thanks!
yep, I lived in W Seattle for many years. even years before they opened up in their other location there. My old house was super close to their current location.
Fortunately, it’s separated into chapters so you skip to wherever you want so you can enjoy this great lesson that somebody took considerable time to put together and kindly offer it for free.
Thanks!!! Also, You gotta do, HIGHWAY STAR - DEEP PURPLE, with the Harmonized PARTS; consider, doing it with a Boss Harmonist and Showing, the actual 2-Guitar PARTS. That'd be the Funnest Way, but many of Us are doing a solo Loop Performance thing..., If you Feel inspired. I think can do it. You've got a GOOD EAR!!
It was shortly after these Abbey Road sessions where Lennon would dip his Epi Casino in the Amazon River, so piranha could strip off all the white paint....true story..
yeah i tried it that way too, and you'd have to tune the E string down a step to make that work, it all seemed too complicated to make it all work that way when you play the A major chord to then fret that A note on the 6th string - but if thats what he did hats off to him.
and arpeggiating the F# chord also becomes difficult if sixth string tuned down. Comparing this lesson to the isolated instrumental version it all sounds spot on - nice work Doug!
Had no idea there were so many non-conventional chord shapes in this beautiful song. The backup vocals are heavenly. Thanks

At last! The Most accurate vidéo about this song !Finally ...😊😊😊
Yes been wanting to learn this one. Thank you so much. Such a gorgeous piece.
A sample of The immense talent of Lennon

Bravo.
Can you demonstrate the guitar part from I Want You/She's So Heavy?
😁
Thanks, thanks!🤝👌

You're right!
Nice work on this - i had it wrong in the same 3 spots you orginally did! Very cool - Thank you!
it's actually a really nice etude for the (transferable) skills needed
Excellent!
Thanks

The Music Gods were clearly in a GREAT Mood the day they gave us The Beatles !!!
😀 Us mere mortals are forever grateful !!!
Enough talking @ 3:00..lolololol
Amazing job Doug!
Outstanding work as always Doug.

I was waiting for you to sing all the harmonies at once! ;-)
Brilliant deciphering of them chords, massive respect……!

Well done sir. BTW love the Thunder Road Guitars T-Shirt. Shout out to West Seattle. Frank, Chad and the guys are the best
yep, I lived in W Seattle for many years. even years before they opened up in their other location there. My old house was super close to their current location.
Just beautiful. Thanks so much.
Too much talking.

How about bolivian ragamuffin from Aerosmith?
Ta guitare à un son très étrange 😮
I believe John used a capo on 4th fret for this one
yeah i tried it that way too, and you'd have to tune the E string down a step to make that work, it all seemed too complicated to make it all work that way when you play the A major chord to then fret that A note on the 6th string - but if thats what he did hats off to him.
@@12footchain I think you’re right, those open strings make more sense without capo!
and arpeggiating the F# chord also becomes difficult if sixth string tuned down. Comparing this lesson to the isolated instrumental version it all sounds spot on - nice work Doug!
Always fun to see an enthusiast helping others. Well done.
It's a guitar tutorial that feels like a talk show
Shorten your intro. Too much talk
Tedious.
