Beatles songs make excellent intermediate/advanced beginner songs!! Great songs, fun to play, and just hard enough to push you a bit but not so hard you get discouraged. Thanks D!!
I totally agree. Just challenging enough to be tricky and push oneself without be frustrating to the point of giving up all together. The main thing to learn from Beatles songs is how cleverly they employ relative major and minor chords like the Am in the intro and chorus -- which is the relative minor of the C (the key this song is in) and the Em, which is the relative minor of G, the fifth of C. That's why they are The Beatles! They learned these toal shifts from playing show tune and songbook standards during the Hamburg days. As well as from producer George Martin, of course.
A fine lesson, Damian. I enjoy your attitude and the careful way you explain things. I'm halfway thru your Ultimate Rockabilly DVDs, and they are just excellent and a buncha fun. Good work!
Of the guys doing the solo online you do best clearest accurate job. Plus you set the amp to get the "chang" sound very well. Ready a good video! Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for the instructions! Incidentally, I found a nifty way to reinforce the melody in the chorus on the F7 by voicing the "money can't" notes with my pinky on the third fret of the high e-string (the 9th), the "buy" on the first fret high e-string, the "me" on the fourth fret b-string, and then the "love" when you resolve back to the C7. (These notes should be voiced while barring the F7.)
I'm still trying to get over those Shogun Warriors in the background. I still have one of the little metal ones of Poseidon. And that little Godzilla! too cool. I wish we were friends.
I've seen some George Harrison live playing and he did kinda weird chord figures. Could you tell me which ones. Thank you!! Nice video by the way mate! Keep on the good work
The gatefold photo of George in the Magical Mystery Tour album show him playing what looks like an F7 on the first fret. (Although he could be playing a blues shuffle pattern in F.)
great lesson!! thank you very much!! can u please do a lesson for u can't judge a book by the cover by bo didley?? can't find any lesson of it on UA-cam
Hi Love your work so much. As I am beginner please explain [or just name] the chords at 10:45 and 10:55. The more I stare at the picture and try to match it up with your fingers the more lost I am. Apologies for being a numpty. :)
Perhaps I can help. Technically those chords are called sixths. Don't let that confuse you, though. What he's doing is playing a partial barre chord and adding his pinky on the on the second string. Do this: play a partial barre chord F (ring finger third fret 4th string, middle finger second fret 3rd string, index finger layed flat across the first fret second and first string (kinda hard) -- that's an F chord. But if you put your pinky down on the thitd fret second string you're sounding the sixth tone of the chord. Thus an F6. Sounds more complicated than it is. Try it!
Notes like that give "color" to standard major or minor chords. In classical and jazz you find flat fives, 11ths, 13ths, sharp 9's and any number of combinations. Sing doe, ray, mi, fa, so, la, te, doe. That's the major scale. The do is the one (the root), ray is the second, mi is the third, fa is the fourth, so is the fifth, la is the sixth, te is the seventh, and do is the eighth, or octave of the first do -- the root. If you continue on top of that with another high ray that's a ninth, and so on.
Don't worry too much about these extended chords. 99.999% of rock, folk, country, and blues songs use only major, minor, and seven chords. You do have to learn those sevens, though. Can't Buy Me Love, for example, just wouldn't sound as cool without those sevens. Good luck, my friend. Keep practicing and learning.
I suspect you're spot on about George playing the F7 in the solo on the first fret low e-string position because it sounds fuller with the low root and fifth. But it very likely John is playing that chord shape and those low notes on his Rickenbacker and George is playing the "C-shape" F7 with his pinky on the 7. (F9 definitely does NOT sound correct to my ears. Too "jazzy".) An F7#9 ("Hendrix Chord") might sound cool. I'm gonna try it right now. Maybe not. That chord works better as the fifth in a three-chord I IV V progression.
I really hate these videos. They are more annoying to follow without some (tab) representation of the fingers. Its hard to visualize the fret board with the fingers in the darn way.
The most underrated Guitar solo by Harrison
Damian...Your guitar lessons are clear & concise...Perfect for musicians of ANY age or skill level. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words. :)
Heard your solo...got inspired...ran and grabbed my guitar! You nailed it, Damian! EXCELLENT solo!
Great lesson! You explain things really well. I like that you show the solo first. Great job!
Thank you Geoff :)
Thanks, Damian.
Always a pleasure to watch your guitar tutors

Nothing could be clearer! Thanks again for sharing your skills and time Damian!

Thanks Damian, loved your lesson, very easy and understandable. Hope to see more Beate songs from the early days here. Keep up the good work!
Such a great solo. Another example of George Harrison's greatness
Fantastic! The explanation is really good!

Brilliant bud great to av another lesson of you :)
Hi Damian - Great Lesson as always - Do you know the name of the crazy chord(s) that repalces the DM? They sounds perfect!.
He loved those double-stops :)
Great lesson,only one problem I want a Gretsch now. Thanks
No problem. Go get a new (intro in 2016) Gretsch G2622 Streamliner. Great guitar. $499.99.
The gatefold photo of George in the Magical Mystery Tour album show him playing what looks like an F7 on the first fret. (Although he could be playing a blues shuffle pattern in F.)
AWESOME!
FAB, ye ye. More BEATLES Damian boy, or anything from 60s.
Great tutorial. Maybe You can do Matchbox someday.
Yes, for sure. I'll probably do the Carl Perkins version. :)
ты лучший я люблю тебя)))

If you continue on top of that with another high ray that's a ninth, and so on.
If you shift your finger one fret higher than a ninth while playing a chord thats a "sharp" nine (#9).
It's fun.

Thanks for taking the time I really appreciate it. It's daunting but exciting to make progress.
thanks man

Really nice lesson, and not just this one. Me like it😉
Just missing explanation of strumming
See you soon at your next video 😊
love this guy (-:
excellent thanks
I think f7 and g7 are same form as open c7 but lower at fret . For the second guitar. 7th and 9th.
What gauge strings do you use on that Setzer 6120?
10? 9?
Damian, are you using a standard G string as it is quite tough on the fingers to bend it a hole tone up ?
Are those flat wound strings? If so what gauge?
I'm using 11-49 gauge roundwounds :)
Starts at 2:30😎
I wish there was a way to lower the voice of the speaker like one can change the speed of the video.
The song Isn't boring ,,
a really nice funny guy
Is this hard?
I transpose this to the key of E. It's more " guitarist friendly".
and the chords? just have the solo part
C 7 F7 G7. The chorus is Am Em. Repeat as necessary.
Tabs lol
I really hate these videos. They are more annoying to follow without some (tab) representation of the fingers. Its hard to visualize the fret board with the fingers in the darn way.
