@@randallpinkfloydthat might be how he's played it yes, but go and watch them play it and tell me that it isn't tuned down half a step on all 6 strings. I also play guitar
Maybe one of the greatest "super bands" ever. Jimi Hendrix's drummer (or maybe we should start calling Jimi "Mitch Mitchell's guitar player"), Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Keith Richards. How can anything ever beat that lineup? Awesome job as always, Sam!
@@GaryBook in my book, they are THE greatest. An actual band that put out real albums. If Dirty Mac stayed together, and wrote new music, and put out an album, I have no doubt it would be perfect.
Amazing cover Sam! Even if its just the pentatonic, Clapton's playing during this performance always inspires me. I actually just bought a cherry red Epiphone 335 this month.
Просто замечательно ! Здесь прекрасно всё ! И гитарные партии,сыгранные один - в -один... и,инструменты... И правильно подобранный гардероб всех участников... А ,теперь ещё и ударник ! Супер ! Восторг ! Большое спасибо!
Even though I much prefer the white album version, this performance of the song and the fact that it's the Dirty Mac playing it is the coolest thing to me! You nailed every part Sam, amazing job as always!
A very true to the original cover. The 'Dirty Mac' was the best performance of Yer Blues,although Live Peace in Toronto was very good as well. Clapton took it from a 'parody' song,a joke about English Bluesmen to an authentic rock and blues masterpiece.
Hey Sam! Kind of a long shot but i’m trying to learn Lennon’s rhythm guitar part but I can’t find anything online about it. If possible, would you mind sharing to me chords, techniques, whatever John used for this song?
One, two, three, four Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die If I ain't dead already Girl, you know the reason why In the morning, wanna die In the evening, wanna die If I ain't dead already Girl, you know the reason why My mother was of the sky My father was of the Earth But I am of the universe And you know what it's worth I'm lonely, wanna die If I ain't dead already Girl, you know the reason why The eagle picks my eye The worm, he licks my bone I feel so suicidal Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones I'm lonely, wanna die If I ain't dead already (ooh) Girl, you know the reason why Black cloud crossed my mind Blue mist round my soul Feel so suicidal Even hate my rock and roll I'm lonely, wanna die If I ain't dead already Ooh girl, you know the reason why
@@sampopkin Keith did a good job on bass. But he was naturally a guitar player. John was the living embodiment of a sturdy back beat. And I'm sure John Lennon would have enjoyed working with him. Though with the Who's constant touring schedule, I don't think it could have happened.
Awesome cover! I love this version of the song! I do have a question regarding John's tone, what made you settle for the bridge pickup? I always thought his tone sounded a bit Fender-esque, so I always assumed the neck pickup was involved somewhere.
Thanks. Looking closer at photos from this live performance, it does look like Lennon was in the middle position. I was just trying to get the closest tone possible Also, Lennon around this time almost exclusively used bridge pickup with the tone knob rolled down (get back)
@@sampopkin I understand! Yeah, he did use that bridge tone a lot for sure. Again, great cover. I always loved how not only did they have Mitch Mitchell on drums, but they also tuned down to Eb, really gave it a Hendrix flavor even though he wasn't a part of this.

It's a crime they never did a full length album
They never even did a second song, what could have been...
@@Liam-fn8ylthey actually performed an instrumental ‘whole lotta Yoko’ as well
And there’s a second version of yer blues along with a rehearsal of revolution
@@ashermonsey WHERE???
@@Liam-fn8yl on the rock and roll circus expanded edition, there’s no video though
Am I the only one who noticed that Sam tuned the low E string at the end like how John did? Love the attention to detail you got there
crazy little detail
He even dressed like how they did in the original
They are all playing tuned half a step down not just John tuning his low E down to a D#
@@JamesMusic33 I know. Trust me, I play guitar myself, but in standard tuning, it is the low E string
@@randallpinkfloydthat might be how he's played it yes, but go and watch them play it and tell me that it isn't tuned down half a step on all 6 strings. I also play guitar
i love how he puts on a sweater that looks similar to erics lol nice little details
the rest of the band too eheheh
He forgot John was wearing a black shirt, though. Great cover nonetheless!
@@joaonascimento6563 um br
Yes for the video of Dig a pony, he was dressed like John and George on the rooftop concert😅

@@beatlesfan2884 no
Amazing cover Sam! Even if its just the pentatonic, Clapton's playing during this performance always inspires me. I actually just bought a cherry red Epiphone 335 this month.
Congrats on the new purchase!
My guy even tracked down a Fender Showman for the one-off Clapton tone. Respect
Bassman, but close enough 😎
Unbelievable playing! The dirty mac version outdoes the beatles version by a mile. Awesome job!!!
To each his own. To me, it doesn’t come even close to the original. Sounds like a generic “power blues” tune.
Mitch Mitchell's drumming is too lackluster. If it had Ringo's groove and fills, this would be the better version.
Have to disagree with you there - the Beatles version sounds far more dirty and gritty in my view ….
I love them both, for different reasons!
100%

Absolutely amazing! The best rendition of the song!
Thanks David!
I’ve been waiting for this since you teased us with a picture of the Greco, well worth the wait excellent cover as always
INSANE!!!! 🔥🔥
DAMN! 🔥 🤘🏻 once again, when it comes to the Clapton parts, Popkin Is God
I’d say in this case, Andrew/Mitch is God

Unpopular opinion here, but I prefer this version than the The White Album one! Another excellent cover by you guys! It's amazing.
I don't think that's unpopular.
Amazing cover, Sam! Love all your stuff. Can you please make a cover of Words of Love next? Thank you!
Absolutely ✌🏻
Sublime
AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE
YOO THIS IS GREAT
finally added a bass in your covers!!
The Dirty Mac version is great, but The Beatles version is really just something else, great cover anyways!
best cover on UA-cam!
Great job! Would love to give it a shot at the vocals.
Woooow 💥
love the outfit!
Channeling Slowhand Clapton there -- so sick.
Nah ini yg aku cari yer blues versi dirty mac🫰
Great work as always, but I miss the yoko cover on the black bag lol
I can’t imagine how many takes this took lol
Andrew did the drums in only one take! Clapton’s part on the other hand…
@@sampopkin LOL
Even got the clothes right 😊
The drummer in Lennon's video for this song, Mitch Mitchell had trouble with the transition at the end of the bridge, also.
That was intentional for this cover!
Fantastic! Could you please follow this up with a version of the Dirty Mac's "Whole Lotta Yoko," sans Yoko?
I have a fiddle🤔
Amazing cover! You should do for you blue!
I’m new to guitar, so please forgive my ignorance, but what are you playing from 2:28-2:38?
Which guitar?
@@sampopkinthe 335/Clapton’s part

@@sampopkinthank you!
Special cheers for “Eric’s” colorful jacket)
Greco!!
wow, this is a phenomenal cover! any recommendations for tab to learn the clapton part?
Not sure, I learn by ear
I still think they should have asked Entwistle to play bass on this.
The period-accurate pants add sizzle to the steak!
Hey Sam! Kind of a long shot but i’m trying to learn Lennon’s rhythm guitar part but I can’t find anything online about it. If possible, would you mind sharing to me chords, techniques, whatever John used for this song?
I offer zoom lessons if you’re interested
is there a tutorial or tabs for this song anywhere?
Sorry I don’t have any, I learned by ear

Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl, you know the reason why
In the morning, wanna die
In the evening, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl, you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the Earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl, you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm, he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already (ooh)
Girl, you know the reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl, you know the reason why
Hello, good afternoon, you play excellent, congratulations, could you pass on the bass tablature?
Reach out on Instagram? I don’t have tabs but could do it for $
Awesome cover! Do you ever wish John Entwistle had been the one to step in on bass?
That would’ve been insane. Yeah Entwistle is my second favorite bassist, even though I do love Keef

No hablo ingles pero esto es genial
Splendid performance! Is that a 'figured' 335?
It is a Greco 70’s 335 copy. Nice figured top, but good quality. Not plywood
Congrats!! Any "note for note" for this? 👏👏👏👏
Oh great…. I’ve been playing guitar for 4 months and I play this song’s lead guitar but it’s difficult!!!!
