What stuns me every time I hear George's playing is his unbelievable sense of taste. George was someone who could play anything on guitar but in the Beatles he chose to focus on complimenting each song with subtle little licks that went on to define the song.
George actually wasn’t super gifted with ability and was even insecure about it, evidenced by how he talked about Eric Clapton in Get Back. He was in awe of the way Clapton could improvise complex solos, even snapping “just get Clapton to do it” to John and Paul at one point. However, his lack of technical prowess made him instead write smaller, more tasty accent-based flourishes that really enhanced a song. Ringo was similar. He couldn’t play anything complicated, so he focused on serving the song instead.
@@pts5217 I wouldn't say George wasn't "technically skilled". I think he could play anything anyone else could play. I think he deliberately chose not to play anything flashy or "technically advanced" because he knew that that isn't what music is about. Same with Ringo. The same could be said about all the Beatles, thats what made them the beatles. Musicality and "technical skills" are killing music and decimate originality. The Beatles knew that. But i feel you.
@@pts5217everyone talked about Clapton like that though. Just listening to George on Abbey Road, he was a really good lead guitarist. He just wasn’t a show off. He also said once he felt he had the ability to be great, just didn’t put in the time for practice. Also with slide he’s well above average
@@pts5217also ringo most certainly could play complicated when he wanted to. He just wasn’t a show off type of player Songs like “She Said She Said, you can hear what ringo is capable of.
Two perfectly contrasted guitar tones: Casino and Telecaster. George's fills once again are just fabulous. But I also love John's tone and drone on this.
George's accompaniment is beyond simple explanation by now - he's really got this whole other voice going on e.g from 2:30 or so onward well beyond any formulaic attempt at lead.
Thank's Sam! I've waited for this for one year, you're awesome and this cover proves it, it's like listening to John and George on the rooftop concert. The outfits, the guitars, wow, keep it up, your covers are the best on UA-cam.
Our tickets (my son and I) also included Paul's and his band sound check session, while they also played 15 songs during it and more 37 songs during the show. It was an amazing experience! Thanks God for that!
Nice. My favorite track on the album. Listened to it a million times and I know it note for note. I appreciate all the detail and work you did here. Shows real respect for the original. Great job.
Прекрасно,как всегда ! Кроме того,что техника исполнения великолепна,каждый ролик превращается ещё и в небольшое костюмированное шоу ! Сыграно с чувством ! Снимаю шляпу !
Thumbs up for all the effort and detail put into those covers, sourcing matching guitars, replicating effects and even breaking down every event of the original recording down to wrong notes played and pickup changes.
I continually get new insights from your videos. I'd never noticed that John's breakdown riff is sloppy, but I see now that it clearly is. It always sounded great to me. It makes me wonder if the ear just makes sense of it all and kind of fools the listener into thinking that it sounds perfect because you've heard it played perfectly every other time. The sloppy playing actually kind of makes the breakdown sound a bit wilder and more distorted in some way and it all seems to make sense. The same thing in the Polythene Pam video where George is clearly hitting some E flat chords instead of E chords in places, but for some reason it sounds okay. Really interesting.
This has got to be THE definitive cover! Love it, man. Wish all of the rehearsal footage of this song had been included in the “Get Back” documentary. Some of the footage they cut was really great.
Besides the amazing music effort you put into this cover, I love that you put the same effort in the appearence. The exact same clothes they wore at the rooftop ♥
Beautiful job! This song wakes me up every day and gives my day some variety. Thanks a bunch, Sam! I'm looking forward to your other beautiful, on point covers!
Georgia's parts at 2:22 and 2:45 get me every time for some reasons lol. I just love em. Funny that they're both fingerpicked, I don't have the ear for stuff like that.
@@sampopkin If it's worth anything, the same distortion effect is there (albeit of course a little distant) on the "D cam" audio, which was the audio recorded for the wide shot of the Beatles filmed across the street.
Nice cover of I’ve Got a Feeling, Sam. Ever since I saw the Get Back documentary, I’ve been looking for a rosewood Tele, but I can never find one, because none of the guitar shops I went to have one.
Took me 7 seconds to hit that like button. The tone he got from the Casino was nasty. Makes me want to give the Casino a 3rd try but this time into a tube amp.
2:34 and 3:09 are sheer chaos, almost like the interlude/outro in A Day In the Life. I've never had the slightest clue what they were playing for that bit. Congrats on nailing it!
Nice! I feel like John did the tone knob low a fair amount, and I wonder if that was his idea or what. I feel like he wasnt super nuanced when it camecto gear. Isn't his part on I Wanna Hold Your Hand sort of muffled like that too, even more so?
Yea! I think Paul might have even done it on his Casino leads on Help. John used his volume and tone knobs a ton. For dirty mac it was middle position. One after 909 neck position, tone down a bit Don’t let me down bridge tone down Those p90’s are so dynamic. Pete Townshend also used that combo of the 4 knobsfor live at leeds era stuff on his SG
Hey Sam The Casino Intro sounds absolutely amazing. You sure are starting the New Year off right. Please keep it up.and please don"t forget about my sitar Tutorial Thanks
Great covers. Well done. I especially have always loved Lennon's drone pattern from A to D. The Beatles were a great guitar outfit. There are two versions or performances of "I've Got a Feeling" on the Roof. Could you show George fills and ornamentations on both? I think his licks are little different during John's vocal in the two performances.
Thanks, I do intend on doing take two rooftop version but I was borrowing the rosewood tele. I’ll have to use my blond tele or wait till I can borrow a rosewood again

George comes up with the perfect stuff when bossy Paul gives him breathing space.

Songs like “She Said She Said, you can hear what ringo is capable of.
@@MrDingus-xg7fwyeah George probably could play anything. He just wasn’t able to improvise like Clapton did. He’d have to work it all out before hand
I love how John royally fks up the riff in the breakdown before the final verse, but yet in true Beatle fashion, it still somehow works!
John is such an underrated guitar player. He's not flashy at all but has great time and feel!
Your attention to detail is incredible!! George's rushed hit at 1:32!!
WOW!!!! The attention to detail is outstanding! I can't believe you even included George just touching his volume knob. Crazy stuff, man
Thanks😁
Loved how he even captured John's picking mistake.
Two perfectly contrasted guitar tones: Casino and Telecaster. George's fills once again are just fabulous. But I also love John's tone and drone on this.
Nailed that Casino tone.
Thanks 😊
George's accompaniment is beyond simple explanation by now - he's really got this whole other voice going on e.g from 2:30 or so onward well beyond any formulaic attempt at lead.
I believe even Paul would be satisfied with the way you play George's part! 😉
Paul wasn't even satisfied with the way George plays George's parts.
@@RobSmith-rn3ie thats the joke
He’ll play whatever he wants him to play, or he won’t play at all
You add a whole new dimension to Beatle music........almost like actually watching the actual players....love your work
5 seconds in, haven't read a single word in the description: I'm astounded at how PERFECT John's tone is!
Thank's Sam! I've waited for this for one year, you're awesome and this cover proves it, it's like listening to John and George on the rooftop concert. The outfits, the guitars, wow, keep it up, your covers are the best on UA-cam.
Everything about this video is great!!
The Clothes, The Guitar, The Sounds and You❤
Both guitar parts sound perfect to my ears. Brilliant work Sam.😊🎸
Just saw Paul's concert last 7th Dec, when he played this song having John's on a duet. Outstanding job Sam!
Incredible! I wish I could see him live
Our tickets (my son and I) also included Paul's and his band sound check session, while they also played 15 songs during it and more 37 songs during the show. It was an amazing experience! Thanks God for that!
When john does that a hammer to d [idk what its called] around 2:40 it sounds so badass and i think it was a mistake but i love it. Sounds fierce.
Great job again Sam! Fun to play John’s part on this!
John & George were "Ying & yang" together ...forever iconic ❤😊
That epiphone casino tone, so good 🤩Also nice Lennon strap and outfits.
Casino intro sounds just like the record - nailed it.
my god these are so impressive. happy new year!
1:26 “I’ll play whatever you want me to play or you know, I won’t play at all if you don’t want me to play”😅

Exactly I love those slight errors that become a part of its charm. Music nowadays is too polished and refined and you miss the human element of it
This has got to be THE definitive cover! Love it, man. Wish all of the rehearsal footage of this song had been included in the “Get Back” documentary. Some of the footage they cut was really great.
Wonderful! the blues style ending is from another world!
Fantastic job as always. Tone on each guitar is perfect. Well played Sir.
Wow! Speechless! You are the best🎉
Can we have some appreciation for the collection of coats!!! Each time they are bang on! They deserve an instagram story of their own.
😎
Masterful!!! Well done!!! Great insight to George's parts... trying my best to learn this stuff,so much fun to play. Keep up the great work!
The warm tones of casino are always like warm sea waves washing over your shoulders.
A greaaaaat cover!! I love Paul’s voice on this song and I think the guitar amplifies it.
I've been waiting for the day.. the guitars are beautiful
Once again, you nail a beatles song. Keep it up
Love the Beatles, Love your playing as always. Thank you so much!!! 😊
Wonderful, Wonderful.
Besides the amazing music effort you put into this cover, I love that you put the same effort in the appearence. The exact same clothes they wore at the rooftop ♥
Awesome ...!!
Happy new year !! Best Wishes for 2024 !!
Good Job ..! Sounds great !!
This will do serious numbers. Great job as usual dude!
I waited this for such a long time! Good job!
Beautiful job! This song wakes me up every day and gives my day some variety. Thanks a bunch, Sam! I'm looking forward to your other beautiful, on point covers!
Wow! Those guitars are beautiful!
You even got the crash and burn perfectly. 2:44
Really great Sam. I love it. Thank you so much from Spain.
最高にかっこい良い曲。
最高のボーカル、別々の歌詞を同時に歌い、最高の場所で演奏。
全てが最高だ。
Georgia's parts at 2:22 and 2:45 get me every time for some reasons lol. I just love em. Funny that they're both fingerpicked, I don't have the ear for stuff like that.
I actually only new that from watching the movie carefully
Excellent as always!
2:22 to 2:32 is some of my favourite of George's playing.
So perfect Sam. I think you did George solo spot on too. Dunno how you do it mate.
for me it's not just the perfect playing but the coordinated historically accurate outfits you wear
Great work!
Wow, great and clear. The Favorite, every time I hear you playing , I think it‘s not so hard to play
One of my favourite song ❤
Great job : really sound the same !
brilliant! I especially love that dirty casino tone
A identificação é incrível!!!
Muito bom cara!!
Very cool colors of clothes Lennon and Harrison wore n the rooftop!
Awesome job on this! I don't think the distortion was added in post, since the mono Nagra tapes have the same tone coming from both guitars.
Possible the nagra tapes distorted them a bit?
@@sampopkin I don't think so. The distortion tone is the exact same as the 8 track recordings.
@@ledzepfilm I mean from the very start the amps were overloading the recording gear? I don’t actually believe this but it’s a weird theory
@@sampopkin If it's worth anything, the same distortion effect is there (albeit of course a little distant) on the "D cam" audio, which was the audio recorded for the wide shot of the Beatles filmed across the street.
@@ledzepfilm good call
Nice cover of I’ve Got a Feeling, Sam. Ever since I saw the Get Back documentary, I’ve been looking for a rosewood Tele, but I can never find one, because none of the guitar shops I went to have one.
It’s rare you see them. Unfortunately I was just borrowing this one
I got it right! Guess you could say I had a feeling. Great cover as always Sam :)
Well done! And nice touches wearing similar coats to what George and John wore.
“Ohh my soul….so hard”
Impeccable!!!!
Dude this is sick! Thanks!
Took me 7 seconds to hit that like button. The tone he got from the Casino was nasty. Makes me want to give the Casino a 3rd try but this time into a tube amp.
Thank you! I can now see all the lead fretwork to learn this. Tabs are always incomplete
Finally!
Thank you so much for covering this song!
Always loving your job, you're amazing man
I had that feeling
Oh yeah! ❤
He’s even got their same clothes from the rooftop concert, cool detail 👍
2:34 and 3:09 are sheer chaos, almost like the interlude/outro in A Day In the Life. I've never had the slightest clue what they were playing for that bit. Congrats on nailing it!
Hell yea, knockin it out of da park with style!
If you watch John on the rooftop concert, when he makes a mistake at about. 2 minutes 41 seconds, He looks at Paul and laughs.
This isn't a cover it's a faithful reproduction...well done,sir!
I love the outfits 🥰
Fantastic as always Sam, so cool! I'd love for you to continue this with The One After 909...such great energy. Happy New Year!
Lucky you 👀
@@sampopkinAnd Me 😅😅😅. Love that one!
@@sampopkin YES!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@sampopkin Thanks Sam. You're the best...sure loving the Gear, There and Everywhere. Great concept.
I would’ve been so down to do a bass cover with you but had no idea!!
Es mi tema favorito!!!
True to the original ! Congrats !
Wow good play back.
Even the clothes, Jesus, thank you for this video Sam!!
Nice! I feel like John did the tone knob low a fair amount, and I wonder if that was his idea or what. I feel like he wasnt super nuanced when it camecto gear. Isn't his part on I Wanna Hold Your Hand sort of muffled like that too, even more so?

Don’t let me down bridge tone down
Those p90’s are so dynamic. Pete Townshend also used that combo of the 4 knobsfor live at leeds era stuff on his SG
That telecaster was sent to George from Fender to Abbey Studios without him asking.
Hey Sam The Casino Intro sounds absolutely amazing. You sure are starting the New Year off right. Please keep it up.and please don"t forget about my sitar Tutorial Thanks
I’ve always loved seeing the Rosewood Telecaster. I’ve heard that George wasn’t too much of a fan of it.
I think George liked it, but he gave it away to Delaney in late 1969 as a gift. By then he was totally into strats
YESSS UNDERRATED BEATLE SONG
My favorite song on Let It Be
I don't know if someone else already commented on that detail, but great choice of outfits!
That’s got to be the coolest song ever
Great covers. Well done. I especially have always loved Lennon's drone pattern from A to D. The Beatles were a great guitar outfit. There are two versions or performances of "I've Got a Feeling" on the Roof. Could you show George fills and ornamentations on both? I think his licks are little different during John's vocal in the two performances.
Thanks, I do intend on doing take two rooftop version but I was borrowing the rosewood tele. I’ll have to use my blond tele or wait till I can borrow a rosewood again
I'm re-enjoying The Beatles with your videos, you play good. Can we have "You're gonna lose that girl"? Thank you.
I love this cover sam!!!, i have a cuestion. how search his strap for the casino guitar?
It was a gift, but I think it’s available on Amazon and various places. Search Lennon Ace Guitar Strap
When can we get I Want You(She’s So Heavy)?
Hopefully later this year
I always thought George played along with John I never knew that he muted a lot.
His little ghost chugs are perhaps a little more chordal than how much I muted, but yeah he vamps
Sam strikes again!
