Pat Metheny - And I Love Her (The Beatles)

- "The Beatles were huge for me. Without them, I don't know if I even would have become a musician or a guitar player. When their hits started coming out, I was 8 and 9 years old and it had a tremendous impact on me. I saw the movie "A Hard Day's Night" multiple times when it came out and I always loved that song. It is kind of impossible to imagine doing a record like this without including at least one Beatles song." - Pat Metheny

My mother was into the Big Band era, Glenn Miller, Dorsey, Goodman, etc... but every once in a while, she could tolerate some newer music. She didn't like Rock & Roll at all, but she liked some softer stuff. I came across this video in 2014, and I asked her to listen to it ( I was her caregiver by then). She was skeptical when I said it was a guitar rendition, but she let me play it. It absolutely melted her heart. She died about a month later sadly, but I was glad she got to experience a different type of music and was able to enjoy it. Miss you, Mom.
Sorry for your loss, Nick
Nick, this song is soothing. I’m glad your Mom heard it. Sending you love and hope.
What a beautiful story💕
God bless her soul
God bless u and may ur mom's soul rest in peace..🤗
That’s why they say that a song has the longest life. A good melody will outlive us all.
not eternity ... image being around that long ... ( that is what 'GOD ALMIGHTY' want to give 'HIS' creation ...( humbling ech ? ... )
UA-cam's great. You watch all sorts of rubbish & then you accidentally stumble on a gem like this. Perfect!
Sound Engineer: Who are we recording today?
Studio Manager: Pat Metheny on a classical guitar.
SE: We're gonna need all the mics.
...and it sounds absolutely amazing!
So beautiful mr Music mixer man ..
I often record acoustic guitar with a mic on the bridge and 12th fret. Gives a nicer stereo feed between a brighter and fatter sound.
As for the more distant mic, that picks up room ambience and is probably the reason this sounds so reverberant.
I'm so sick of these stupid dank memes
@@moncorp1 maybe you are sick of yourself
When you go full circle in mastery you get back to simple songs and make them sound heavenly.
Respect.
PM is a genius. A true master.
I second this!
It's true.
Bro this song was always heavenly, you just never realized until now.
It's 90% great but personally, there is something off about it to me that's awkward and meat fisted...
I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this....the echo of the past is here...a dear part of my life is remembered...thank you Pat
❤😢
I'll drink to that, Pat! Thank You.
I've played guitar for almost fifty years, but never reached the level of proficiency that Pat had by 1980. I play this on my desktop and close my eyes, and feel the low E vibrate my desk, and for a moment I am Pat.
You are not alone. Ticket for MKE Side EYE this Thursday
Talent recognises genius.
I'm right there with ya, brother....I've been playing for 61 of my 73 years, and can't even come close to what Pat does....a true artisan...I love all the subtle little slides....awesome stuff !!!
@@tootallmaninflorida I’m not sure I’ve seen the action so low with those clean notes. I would love to know how good that guitar feels in my hands.
That's the most beautiful youtube comment I've read. You may not have become Pat, but you did become someone.
when a Beatles song is covered, their ingenious talent as composers becomes even more obvious.
You are spot on!
Absolutely...
So true. Also, what a privilege to see and hear Pat. What a.beautiful artist.
Same with Bob Dylan's music. Maybe moreso. I was going to say the Beatles performed their music better than Bob. But some songs Bob performs are awesome on. Others..I need to hear others play and I think wow, what a beautiful song. With the Beatles I assuredly know the music is great, but a cover like this really reminds me.
You are so right...
When Pat Metheny was still in a Junior in High School, he attended the Midwestern music and Art Camp in Lawrence, KS, stayed in one of the Daisy Hill dormitories there. I was the Resident Counselor for the wing of the Hall he lived in. His remarkable talent was obvious to all the other kids his age in our wing and his fame grew all over the Campus. He was a lively, but a little ornery, outgoing and had quite a 'big' personality that won you over quickly. I hardly saw him in the Hall, because he was always somewhere else, no doubt dazzling other kids his age with his talent - and probably also he spent time with the instructors there at the Camp.
I have always been secretly proud that he "was one of my kids" that summer many years ago. After that I watched his fame and renown only grow along with his talent. I hope I was able to be a good role model for him at that time in his young life.
One other thing, he was one of the most handsome kids around the Camp. And I'm sure he could charm the socks off the silly little junior high girls - all atwitter.
I am late in saying this, but "Congratulations, Pat, for your success and for your well-lived life. May you live with your due fame always following you and with a career as long as have Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney had!"
+Alan N Reeder You are truly a fine person!. The few fine ones that make the world today. Mentors
+Ted Hernandez, Thank you Ted Hernandez, for your compliment!
There were, if course, many other talent and well-educated young men there that summer at the Camp; all of whom I hope have go on to be community leaders!
+Alan N Reeder
You will find, by and large, most successful people have that certain "je ne sais quois" you've described knowing in Pat. I'm a long-time fan, and an avid reader of his history.. Over the years I've squired an 'earnest feeling' about what kind of person he might have been in parallel to his unmatched musicianship.. My "research" dates back to the mid-80's when I once saw Danny Gotlieb and Mark Egan do a clinic at E.U. Wurlitzer in Boston MA, where Danny G anecdotally spoke of his own experience working with Pat in the very early days. And according to both men, he WAS ornery-- to use your word.
Last, I think in order to make it in any business, one may not need to be ornery, but one certainly does need a "big" personality--and that can be taken any way you like, but the fact remains, 'You Gotta Take It' to quote one, Jack Nicholson during his opening narrative at the start of The Departed.
+GotLotsaFaith
Thank you for your comment. I used the word "ornery" because I couldn't quite come up with a word that exactly described his youthful behavior. He was self-confident; out-going; effervescent; had a magnetic personality none could ignore. Plus, of course, he was a genius; and I mean that not just in music, but in other aspects of life - as oftentimes goes along with people of genius as well.
I can't way I knew him deeply, but I do feel I can say that he had depth, in his personality, his devotion to his music, his care for others, and his ability to "navigate the world" ahead of him. I think he knew he was bound for fame and prepared himself properly to accommodate to that future.
He, of course, also had the good luck of being a very handsome young man, with quite a following of groupie girls!
+wilma aniceto Ouvi dizer que ele tb é grande fã de música brasileira...ele, por exemplo, tocou nos anos 80 com Milton Nascimento. Inspiração e boa música vão e vem e correm pelo planeta como o vento...
What a beautiful version of this classic Beatles song.
Lindíssima!
if I could
J. K. MacLeod , wrote some goodies eh?
Santo and johnny song ! Not the beatles.... ;-)
@@antoinesloves222 What? It's a Paul song. They just covered it
As a professional guitarist of ten years, I love what he is doing. He isn't slapping, clacking or playing showoff, he just feel and expresses the song. So many 'McKee wannabe' acoustic guitarists could learn a large amount about the guitar just by watching this video.
Agree ! That guitar slapping thing is annoying
Idk how anyone who's ever seen or heard Pat perform isn't just freaking awestruck.Truly one of a kind!
Agreed. He plays like no one else, especially his solo playing. Masterful. But, not for the feeble minded or slow of wit. He plays on a hyper-intellectual level most cannot assimilate.
I've been following Pat since Bright Size Life came out, and have seen him several times - first back in '79 with the original Pat Metheny Band. His versatility and virtuosity are breathtaking. But, Pat on acoustic gives me goosebumps.
A beautiful melody is a beautiful melody. The Beatles' ability to compose as many as they did remains unmatched. And then in the hands of Metheny.... well what can you say. Thanks Pat.
Hands down, one of the best guitar player ever. I would listen to an Amazing Melody over someone like a guitar speed demon anyday. Melody is where it's at!
Thanks Pat. Thanks Paul McCartney and John Lennon, what the fuck did Metheny ever write that will be played in 200 years??
@@Nautilus1972 You actually need to thank George Harrison. His unmistakable riff is the backbone of this McCartney song, like so many other Harrison riffs that he constantly came up with.
No, the riff was derived from the melody, not the other way round.
@@katy8334 I think you and sully are talking about the same thing. McCartney gave credit to Harrison for the riff which "made" the song what it is. Harrison was undoubtedly inspired by the melody and that riff gave the song the hook/backbone it needed to make it an A-lister.
On a different note, I don't think Metheny did this song any favours with his interpretation. Uneven playing, awkward and uninteresting.
I've never heard Pat Metheny on an acoustic, and you can tell it's Pat after three plucks. Incredible touch.
This is what happens when one of the legends is played by one of the legends. Perfecto.
Tonight I watched Pat Metheny in Concert in Hamburg! It was extraordinary. The fifth encore this Night was the cover Song of the Beatles And I love her. It was simply beautiful and I had tears in my eyes! I feel so incredibly lucky to have been there. Thank you! 😍
lucky!
Woow
I saw Pat the first time in concert in the early 80’s I was spell bound by his amazing talent. I could see not imagine seeing him today. He is one of my all time favorite musicians
Pat always knows where the good notes are...
traildoggy Look mamma how many notes i can put in a single bar.
That is my feeling when he went fusion in the 80ies. BUt he is so very damn right in one thing : study your scales, again, again again.
And hell when he goes slow, i just love his harmonic play.
Extremely familiar with the fretboard.
Yes, the música id yo know where are the most beautifull are
It's all in the mind's ear.
:) well put.
but then came that ending chord. argh.
The fact you heard George's guitar part featured so prominently in all the covers and helps make this song what it is, shows how he should of gotten a writing credit for this song.
He didnt receive a writing credit because he didnt write it. When the credit, "written by" appears, (in this case Lennon and McCartney,) it refers to the lyrics not the musical score. It's extremely rare for credits such as, "guitar riff by" or "piano by" on credit lines.
That said McCartney is noted for verbally mentioning it to the beatles publisher Dick James.
" According to James, Lennon called for a break and "within half an hour [Lennon and McCartney] wrote ... a very constructive middle to a very commercial song." McCartney, on the other hand, maintains that "the middle eight is mine ... I wrote this on my own. I would say that John probably helped with the middle eight, but he can't say 'It's mine'." McCartney has credited George Harrison with composing the signature guitar riff, saying it "made a stunning difference to the song". Source: Wikipedia
I started playing guitar at twelve and have been playing for over fifty years. This is one of my favorite guitar solos. It has a great feel from deep inside.
I remember being 12. I’m 31 now. What advice would you give me knowing you lived your 30s
This is how a musician "truly plays music", and does not make it an excuse to show off technique, and in the process destroy the music.
Pat’s tone on acoustic is legendary, fills the room and the heart with its deepness.
Tone? On a plastic-stringed guitar?
Hardly at all. Real men play with steel
@@zweisteinya no shot youre a real person
Legentary? He is an average acoustic guitar player.
@@majmx average ? please, seriously...
@@franzkarlvj This video show that he is not a good acoustic guitar player. Most average guitar players can play this or better. I used to play the guitar a long time ago and I could play the same without any problems (now I don't play anymore).
My heart has finally healed thanks to Paul McCartney, and this guy.💋
In the right hands, the acoustic guitar speaks so beautifully.

The best cover for a beatles song by pat himself a work of art and a masterpiece
I'm only too honored to be able to write that I absolutely loved this performance by Pat Metheny!
They say he’s pretty good with jazz guitar also?
remember Rome 1983? I was there and I am here! Your music is breath for soul... thank you!
One of the most beautiful Songs ever written, done faithfully, respectfully, and expertly!
There's something very bizarrely comforting about hearing Pat breathing here. Often when you're listen to performances of songs, or the songs themselves, you can forget that human beings, having a human experience, wrote and recorded them, and were doing something as obvious as breathing the entire time. Arguably, the best music of all time has that effect. It's somewhere between alienating and understanding. Just hearing the struggle between human and instrument, and the tug of war that goes into making a song happen live, and the irregular, heavy breathing reminds us what we are capable of if we really apply ourselves. We're human beings just the exact same as Pat Metheny, hard as that might be to believe.
This is for far the most beautiful version of this great song that I have ever heard. Pat is a genius. Awesome tribute to the Beatles.
This is so lush. One of my favourite Beatles songs, too. I was sceptical, but ended up listening to this three times in a row!
This is structurally a beautiful sing made even more beautiful in the hands of a master.
I can't believe I've never heard this rendition. Methany makes it even more beauttiful than it originally was. Hats off to you Sir Methany! THAT'S the song I want to keep in my heart forever! Thank you.
There are no words to describe Pat Metheny. Remarkable, incredible musician.
Which is it, words or no words? I guess there were words after all! Ha ha. I get it, though. He is a master.
The best instrumental (solo) rendering of this composition I ever heard.
I saw a version of the same song by Al Di Meola, it was more complex & hard to play but it was lame, cheesy, irritating compared to Metheny's beautiful rendition
I could listen to him play this song over and over again for hours. Was blessed to see the " pat metheny group " years ago.
This is beyond pleasant..
I'm in another dimension..
Pat always touches those note's.
This piece is a true example 👏👌🙌
One of my fave beatle songs .... Pat ,s version is so much greater. It’s amazing how someone could redo a standard so beautiful... Can’t get this out of my head ...the nylon guitar is the best way to hear it!
George played a nylon string in the original...
Pat Methany is an excellent guitarist. This is a beautiful rendition of this Beatle song.
I like how you can hear him breathing throughout the music. It makes it sound so immediate like he’s in the room and we’re just listening a few feet away.
Old Beatles fan here, but gifts like you have keep me feeling much younger. Thank you Pat.
ua-cam.com/video/ULboUrX-_pM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DanielPinto
This version opend a new dimension of a very great part of musical history.....fantastic...
I'm certain Paul never heard his song played like this! Pat Matheny, you are definitely one of the greatest guitarist ever! Love you bro.
Pat is obviously a phenomenal guitar player and does a masterful job with this classic. It amazes me at the depth of talent the Beatles possessed especially when you consider they broke up before any of them were 30. Think about that for a moment.
He knows how to play with feeling, that’s what matters the most.
One of my favourite Beatle's songs played by one of my favourite guitarists !
pat is the best of the best
Beautiful and respectful version. Pat is talented enough to let this song speak for itself. Bravo!
Neanche i Beatles sapevano di aver composto un capolavoro di questo livello..Thank you Pat
Pat Metheny’s music is a gift! Such beautiful artistry, vulnerability and expression. Inspiring.
u r 2000% Right!
this song is so modern romantic and nostalgic.
umut barat magnificent. It’s an honor for Pat to be playing a Beatles song
"What It's All About", the album containing this piece impressed me more than any Metheny album has for some years. But then, I'm a sucker for raw beauty.
Your version of this reminds me why I never, ever get tired of hearing this song. Beautifully played. Thank you.
Jeff was so FULL of life sniff sniff and miss him so much. I got to see Jeff perform Blow By Blow in Tulsa live and I just couldn’t believe what he was doing with that guitar.
Just can’t stop listening to this, really....
When I hear this song played by Pat Metheny; I think of my beautiful wife Goldie. My love, my heart, my soul ..... I love her with each beat of my heart .... and I love her.
Thank you Pat Metheny for sharing your wonderful gift of music with us ....
Peace -
TC~
Jazzman I love you film
Nice it reminds me some great times too man 😢😳)
❤️
true love is the most valuable thing one can experience in life. of all complex things that can evolve in the universe, like galaxies, stars, neutron stars, planets, life, flora, fauna, plants, a star system like our solar system, and whatnot, true love is at the very top of all things that can evolve. from this point of view, it is the purpose of the universe, if you understand what I mean. and I found it. my girl and I are a couple for 36 years now. true love increases by the way. it never hurts and is forever.
J'adore le style/talent de Pat Metheny. J'ai eu la chance de le rencontrer lors d'un festival. Je n'oublierai jamais sa discrétion et son humilité. La classe des grands Artistes. And I love him
The first time I saw Pat M. in concert was back in 1979, Houston ,TX. Something special happens when he comes out with his guitar and plays solo. Still one of my favorite guitarists.
just heard him live in 2023 - still true.
I love Metheny even more after reading the intro,
the great Guitar Maestro of our times
sun Tao The Roger Federer of the guitar! In a class of his own.
Although a gentle ballad and love song this song always had an atmosphere of something inherently haunting - that if anything is actually heightened and enhanced in this great version.
Hauntingly beautiful, yes, I always thought so. Something about the undying nature of true love in the context of human mortality.
At least, that's how I see it since my sweetheart passed away.
@@roberthensley9640 Sorry for your loss. Yes that's a good way of putting it.
Beautiful. Doesn’t get any better than a song by the Beatles.
Desde Venezuela soy y seré amante de los Beatles...esta versión por Pat es bellísima...yo
I can't think of the words to describe how beautiful this is. It took me in and the anxiety of my world vanished. So calming . . . Peaceful . . .
So much respect for the original song, and Pat’s ability to bring it out in a beautifully lyrical manner. And keeping fresh, so very fresh.
A valuable lesson here: you can be one the best guitarists in the world - and still, it is the feeling that counts, Pat plays some pretty basic lines here, BUT every note is played like his life depends on it and the result is breathtaking. Very humbling for any guitar player.
That's something I learned from Joe Pass - - - there is no shame in playing something simply if you feel it fits the music.
Pat Metheny's music always tells a story. Thanks for your awesome music--have been listening for over 20 years.
This album got me through late nights studying all through the night, while work and my 2 boys of under 3 years of age, at the time, had me in circles during the day!! Pat you are a musical genius!! Absolutely honoured to be alive to share all your beautiful music with you. Thank you for the inspiration...💕🥰🙏
Pat plays better with his eyes closed than most 'guitarists' can do with eyes open. I've seen the man and his band live in concert over a dozen times and he never disappoints.
Brilliant that we have this man among us.
Love you, Pat!
There are other guitar versions of this awesome song in You Tube, but this is the best one.
I'm going to go see him in Vienna I'm too excited
My God this version speaks volumes!!! Talk about taking a trip to a nice place.....while still sitting listening to this wonderful sound. This dude rocks!!
It takes a lot of guts to cover a Beatles song. It takes incredible talent to do it right!
As an unconditional lover of the 'Beatles', having sung and played many of their inspiring ❤️ music, I'm thankful for this one : It's an unexpected interpretation of unique beauty... and understanding of the original ❤️🔥
This one is going to save my day...
Wow
beautiful
I had no idea that Pat Metheny was so talented
Ooh ..what youve been missing..but now all of this lusciousness awaits you..enjoy..🇨🇦
I could listen to this forever
What a beautiful, emotional version of a wonderful tune. The ending chord was gorgeous.
Jaw droppingly good arrangement ... and that final chord was the hilight!!
I am so lucky to have been aware of Pat since he started and was graced to have worked stage crew for the ban in the early 80s twice. Pat even played one of my brother's BOZO apprenticed guitars in a soundcheck. Amazing talent and an even better human.
Great song by McCartney and Lennon. In the silky smooth hands of Metheny. Beautiful.
After reading the comments of Alan Reeder, it touched me that he noticed how a teacher was amazed by Pats talent and would come forward and reflect.....after all , our teachers of our culture are given a gift to guide and witness our young , is important that period in our lives is to us now and in future. May we protect our young from evil and allow our youth to change the world,like Pat has Thank you Alan N Reeder for your dedication and insight Alberta Dave
It's clear the influence from his years living in Rio. What a bless.
I didn't know about that one. Thanks for this piece of information. I was, indeed, finding some resemblance between his playing and the Bossa Nova style.
Victor Manoel de Brito , you're welcome
Pat plays melody so well. Everyone knows how great his sense of harmony is but man he plays a tune beautifully.
According to Spotify, in 2018 I listened to a total of 98 24-hour days of Pat Metheny. I'm still listening. And it's a HOOT to hear my Google Nest in a British woman's voice say Pat's name!
One of the FINEST recording artists of the generation...indeed My favorite nobody can touch Pat in longevity...quality...and sheer volume of work...nobody
this is really music. A single guitar sound better than an once orchestra. Master
I love it when I find a new artist. I found you in a Rick Beato clip ... my ear latched on immediately, I left Rick's video to fins you and hear more. Subbed (naturally)🙂- I hope you are well, wherever you are. My new journey begins here. 🙂
Pat may be the best guitarist ever. And I love him!
Extremely beautiful rendition, beautiful, spiritual sound, the crispness of the flamingo guitar
thats all pat
That was one of the most beautiful renditions of a Beatle song as your ever going to hear. I had the great pleasure of
seeing Metheny in 1992 and McCartney in 1976, many years ago. Man!, this song is great.
I too, have enjoyed the M&M's in concert.
ua-cam.com/video/ULboUrX-_pM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DanielPinto
thank you Pat Metheny, for all the beauty, energy, sadness and joy you've brought into my life
Ce choix de faire "AND I LOVE HER" me touche au profond, je le chantais/jouais en 65 ...!!!! MERCI.
That's the last song you played at the Olympia concert a few years ago, after almost an hour of additional music past the official end of the concert. Then someone shouted "and we love you Pat" :)
Am I glad I stumbled on this. Beautiful arrangement. I found this very moving.
Honey for the ears, and for the heart. Pat Metheny does his magic once again.
The sound of contact with this strings is a huge factor in the feel
How INCREDIBLY beautiful is this??
🌹🌹🌹
No words can describe
AWESOME INSTRUMENTAL VERSION ..METHENY IS A GENIUS
I dont know about guitar play at all but this is beautiful and touching. Thanks friend.
Playing this one for my wife tonight. Thanks for the good stuff Pat.
The god of guitar, how can i explain my feeling. im really a big fan of him.
BLASPHEME IS EVIL HUMANS DIDNT CREATE HEAVEN AND EARTH GOD DID!!!!
Pat’s signature (as always) is eclectic and ever engaging on this classic McCartney piece.
“And I Love Her” always brings back the sweet memories of the love of my life as it was our song. Even though we are no longer together, the song still holds a special place in my heart. This guitar rendition of the song is truly a masterpiece, and I am grateful for the emotions it stirs within me. I miss and love her so much. She will always be the one.
A magical version of the song. Love it!
