    My favorite Beatle song of all time. John Lennon's best harmony ever made

    Brother, I love your taste in music - I can't think of a song you've covered that wasn't one of my absolute favorites. - Nice job yet again! Oh - and you offer insight into the theory I don't find a lot of places - thanks again.

      Most guitar's can take this tuning..like it reads in his print out if you have old strings they may brake..have no fear..

      Marie Robinson 75° in San Diego...come on down and play for the New Year's Eve crowd...if you put a hat out, they put money in it...if you play good of horse.

      Juan A yeah I'm a few hours south of Chicago. 4° f (-15° c) lots of snow. I'm probably not good enough to make spare change ;) but I've been writing songs that I think are pretty good. Wish I was a better player to do them justice. I learn more techniques with every tutorial though. Happy New Year

    • @juana1483
      @juana1483 6 років тому +1

      Marie Robinson I was pretty darn good, but then was sick for 14 years, so I'm definitely working on my music too. Consistency is the key. Happy New Year as well.

    • @marierobinson2583
      @marierobinson2583 6 років тому

      Juan A I'm sorry you were sick for so long. I know how hard that is. I was diagnosed with RA in 2008. There are days I can't play but at least there are more days that I can play!

    • @marierobinson2583
      @marierobinson2583 6 років тому

      Juan A I just discovered a guitarist who had a stroke when he was 3 and lost the use of his left arm. ua-cam.com/video/VfFkmLm5qz0/v-deo.html
      He's amazing

    A friend of mine showed me this channel yesterday. I have to say, for players getting out of the easier songs looking to challenge themselves even further, this is the place to go. Over the last 24 hours I've improved significantly with my playing skills.
    Thank you so much for the time and effort you've put into your videos. It helps so much! Happy New Year

    Really nicely done. You really got the melody and that bass line married nicely for solo acoustic guitar. I didn't know that they (Lennon/McCartney) collaborated on this song that way, though that certainly accounts for the contrasting sections and differences in the song's structure.
    Again, really nice transcription. I'll be humming that melody all day. Thanks.

  • @robertmartinez9793
    @robertmartinez9793 6 років тому

    I keep playing this over and over. You have created something in Lennon's very spirit and intent. I just love your style of playing and am wish I could hear what you hear so that I could pick up on all the nuances, not only of this song but of so many others that you play on Shutupandplay. I donate regularly and am a fan!

    @southernnyer6086 6 років тому

    This is excellent. Not only this song.. your entire site. You do a fantastic job on these songs. I started playing fingerstyle I guess once hit my fifties where I used to play mostly mainstream blues based rock and roll.. although I am also a big Richie Blackmore fan and play a lot of his classical based music. I wish I'd started fingerstyle earlier. These songs transfer over really well to acoustic. Well done.

    You always do such a great job of playing and explaining. A gifted fellow for sure. I put my guitar down for about a year and not sure my fingers can do the 4 fret stretch but I'm gonna give it my best. Thanks for all of your work. Have you done a video on "Mood for a Day" by Steve Howe? I've worked on that for many years and always stuggle. I think that would be right down you alley.
