[viceguitaar]

[privettricker]

@viceguitaar Yes, this is John's part.

[viceguitaar]

@privettricker yeah!! congratulations!! :D

[viceguitaar]

@privettricker thanks!! :D

[wassupdannybadz]

Can you do a lesson on this please?

[cenjim]

Really nice job on this song!

[TheVasicist]

Does anyone know what the chord at 0:52 is?

[cenjim]

@TheVasicist

Gminor

[TheVasicist]

@cenjim I meant the chord right after G minor. As far as I can tell, it goes G minor, something, C7. Whats that chord in between?

[cenjim]

@TheVasicist D+ (Augmented), is that the one? at 0:53

[cenjim]

@cenjim: looks like the change is Gm, D+, G7, C7, G#+, and back to the F.

[TheVasicist]

@cenjim Thanks!

[roflmao791]

@TheVasicist that chord is a minor(major7)

you can fret it like a G7 but instead of putting your middle finger on the g string move it up to the d string on the same fret

[roflmao791]

@TheVasicist and the chords go Gm, Gminor(major7), G7, C7, G#+ (augmented)

[TheSteve888]

Wow!

[ryler99]

can you please please please do "Do you want to know a secret"?

[TheTonesterr]

sawr (:

[TheMusicmaam]

Im kinda impressed that you can count the chord changes and play that so well at the same time.

[divrack]

wow one of your better ones a great project for me for the weekend you memorized n 30 Minutes ? your insane :)

[Evan42881]

It sucks being 13. I get made fun of everyday because I'm into Zeppelin, the Stones, Beatles, Cream, the Clash, you name it. It just sucks.

[TheTonesterr]

@Evan42881 same here but it's whatever.

[Evan42881]

@TheTonesterr Well, the kids in my school are extrememly cruel about it.

[TheTonesterr]

@Evan42881 wow sorry to hear about it man.

[TheVasicist]

@Evan42881 Who makes fun of you at school for listening to that stuff? Most teenagers go through a classic rock phase. In fact, there were more people listening to those bands when I was 13 than now that I'm older. If anything, people look at me more weirdly the older I get, and that I'm still obsessed with music from the 60's.

[Evan42881]

@TheVasicist Nope, it's rap and bubblegum pop.

[tgilldesign]

What a gift you have! I'm certain a lot of hard work went into getting as good as you are - and it's really quite a blessing to many people's ears! Happy Thanksgiving!

[giannni1995]

meke the lead version please

[rosalita714]

how long does it take you to get a complicated song like that down or are you recording songs you've been playing for a long time?

[privettricker]

@rosalita714 Most of the songs I record, I've never played before, like this one. So it took about a half-hour to memorize the changes. The chords themselves came fairly quickly (mostly because I just made them up and hoped for the best!), but memorizing the structure of the song is usually the more time-consuming part.

[LaurenceWindy]

@privettricker

PT I requested for you to do this song. If I retire and devote 24 hours a day 7 days a week I might have it down in about a year and a half. You are awesome. Thanks

[4runner39]

@privettricker It only took you 1/2 hr to learn this??You've gotta be kidding me-this isn't an easy song...in fact,it's probably the hardest Beatles song there is !!

[privettricker]

@4runner39 Nah. Revolution No. 9 is harder. 

[4runner39]

@privettricker the guitar playing in revolution #9 is hard,yeahhh...touche

[andy65guitar]

Man,that was more like George Benson than The Beatles. I know they didn't write this but what a great song and you performed it perfectly. I can't imagine anyone hating The Beatles?!!! The Stones also. What is wrong with these people?

[privettricker]

@andy65guitar Yeah, I've heard of people who can take-or-leave the Beatles, but I'd never heard anyone say they hate them before. Maybe that's just a generational thing.

[bdcava]

Try playing an F#7#9 at the end of the solo (before you resolve to F). You play it like a barre F#7 on the 2nd fret only barre the B and E string at the 5th fret with your pinky.

[F3FisGoodforYou]

I hate the beatles with passion... but you you play it it's kind of cool...

[BFBCFTW]

@F3FisGoodforYou You hate The Beatles?! D:

[micdailing]

Don't even try Mister Banker. That song blows!

[roflmao791]

holy shit

[TheVasicist]

Hey PT, A question about your technique for playing barre chords.

Did you learn the thumb over the top method first, or did you pick that up later? I find it very difficult personally, but I can see the advantages to it if mastered (ie, my hand won't hurt like a mother after a song like this). I have trouble not muting the high E string when I wrap my hand around like that. What's your take on this?

[privettricker]

@TheVasicist When I first started playing, I did barre chords the traditional way, with an index finger. But I switched to the thumb over the top method fairly early on. Getting the low E (or the A, for that matter) to ring true is a matter of practice, I guess. You kind of have to shift your whole grip, just twisting your hand a little over the top of the neck as if you're turning a door knob.

[angela21215]

.pt that chord you are playing at 0:58 is it with the root on the 4th fret 5th string (C#) or on the 6th fret 4th string(G#)?

[privettricker]

@angela21215 Actually, I'm playing that with my thumb muting both the E and A strings.

[cenjim]

@angela21215 @angela21215

That chord is a G#+ (Augmented)

[mrsullyrox]

you got it!

[TonyHickschick]

Loved your cover

[AMATONER]

I hear ya. Looking over the tab, I don't know what to call those chords either.. except they certainly do sound perfect against such a beautiful melody. Great job. You really inspired me to want to learn this piece.

[newporter42]

Great performance, very fine use of passing chords, many of which I will have to lift from you !!

[AMATONER]

Great performance. What are the chord progresssions?

[privettricker]

@AMATONER Well, let's see. It starts in F, and I think there's a G7 in there somewhere... Seriously, dude, I don't know what most of those chords are called! :)

[roflmao791]

@privettricker that's amazing , did you get that ear from practicing alone ? or do you have perfect pitch ?

[privettricker]

@roflmao791 I don't really know what perfect pitch is, but I do know that if you practice enough, you can play anything you want to play. Don't forget, I've been playing close to 30 years now. That's a lot of hours, and it's never felt like work.

[roflmao791]

@privettricker is there anything you did specifically to try to train your ear though ? and what exactly do you listen for in a song like this since you just made up the chords ? that basically means you can make a guitar part for anything which is so awesome .

and also at the end when you move to that B7 open chord , are you muting the high e / b string with your palm ? thanks man

[miltrone]

so great!!!

[Baci302]

Excellent job. That was perfectly done. I've played that song for a way but didn't appreciate a few of the chord changes and rhythm patters you played. Thanks again.

[MrOttocarpenter]

It was always such a Pauly tune, but I'm not sure why - I guess he had a penchant for classic rhythms... would this be a rhumba or cha-cha or some such beat? Anyway, I doff my hat to your efforts. Nice.

[drooga81]

hey privettricker - i'm in london - what if swap you some tea from harrods, a union jack t shirt or something like that in exchange for a lesson on the intro to free's travelling in style?

[drooga81]

how on earth did you ever figure out all those changes?! you are a hero!

[dtreeguy]

Love those weird and plentiful chords...

[jeffj257]

thx for not going out saturday nite to make your loyal followers a great video

[BartXZX]

What an awesome song :D nice job PT :D

[blackbirdfly17]

Hello Mr privettrickerr I admire very much and is my favorite teacher, just a question how do you learn to play the songs?

[JonasSiames]

you do not like Guns N 'Roses?

[Baci302]

@JonasSiames Please no GnR.

[privettricker]

@Baci302 Don't worry.

[Baci302]

@privettricker : )))

[hazatude]

Officially you're now the eighth Beatle!

[LP59GoldTop]

Damn PT, you make it look so easy...can I borrow your "Easy Button"? loll!!

[swatprof]

Damn impressive!!!!

[marslife01]

Remember this from Ed Sullivan show, George was the prime player in this one, you do a excellent job by the way, it's like Jazz or classical, where the lead is a chord, instead of single notes, so it's a little more difficult to play.

[jtd663]

I'm in a better mood now...

[ryler99]

damn it,i just learned this a few days ago.

[Flare4roach]

Well done, PT. You're my favorite teacher and you nailed this song. Awesome!

[4runner39]

amazing job my friend - another thumbs up from this kid,not that you need it!!!

[Jellysauce]

i like the white light that you have on your hands/guitar in this video. makes it very clear what you are doing.

[judex54]

sin saberlo,la tocas igual que yo( la saqué de oído)xD

[AnalfaLucas]

You really love the Beatles i think! kk!!! You are the best on Beatles Cover! Thanks for teach us and play this songs! Check my bad covers on my channel, bye!

[kink2508]

is that an epiphone dove, pt? looks like

great job on this

[Tohinho1]

@kink2508 it's a Gibson

[privettricker]

@kink2508 That's a Gibson Dove.

[POLOE65]

hello

nice work !

do you like to play "as tears go by" by the stones

thank you Daniel

[daregularperson]

Awesome job! I'm favoriting so I can watch and learn during Thanksgiving break!

[TheVasicist]

Man, you are on a roll :)

Who says John wasn't a good guitar player? This song is a bitch to play

[PhalainaBelgium]

Very nice cover !! Typical sixties sound and quite unusual chords but not for the Fab Four !! Well done !! Slainte ! Phalaïna

[angela21215]

i love diminished chords.

[mkqp]

Bravo! Best cover the Beatles did.

[whyyeseyec]

Nobody can ever accuse Paul McCartney of being a 3 chord wonder. He has a history of writing songs with multiple chord changes. He is a true melody maker.

Hats off privettricker! A beautiful job - as always....

[TheStratman1963]

@whyyeseyec great song and cover but was written by Meredith Wilson not McCartney. nice job on the cover by privettricker also!

[whyyeseyec]

@TheStratman1963 : Yes, you are correct. My mistake....

[fenderbryan]

a lovely song played well, when i play it it sounds silghtly out of tune ?.
