Drive My Car

[cryptoranium]

Bravo! I really liked your performance!

[colmas]

i have always tried to play that solo without a slide, thats spot on. it must be prety cool to just sit around and listen to every little detail of a beatles song so you can recreate it.

[NinthFoundationBand]

why'd you take the pickguard off your hofner?

[Beatlemania2696]

AWESOME!:DDD

[olyryu]

is it regular casino?

[ioharris]

how did you set the amplifier channel for the lead guitar?

[rconcepcion09]

wow .. you are .. loaded... :L

[josepalaciospolo]

profesional muy profesional ,me gusto mucho felicitaciones sigue asi, excelente (trujillo - peru)

[MattTC1028]

you play drums like dennis wilson!

[MrLennon231]

@MattTC1028 Nah man, its Ringo fricking Starr :D

[MadSpectro7]

Is it just me or does this song sound punkish to you?

[NikeBlus]

Психодозер не плохо играет на музыкальных инструментах!

[LetsGetBackFan]

Excellent playing Michael!

[Perutti1]

Valeu, video digno dos Beatles, o cara toca todos instrumentos, bem ao estilo dos Beatles que também, cada um, tocava vários instrumentos, principalmente o Paul, o John e o George. Parabéns.

[eboba04]

You rule!!!!

[jaspurr77]

Your already laying down the law go on my son!

[ThatHoopGirl]

amazing!!!! :D

[MrACDC1997]

haha you even play drums like Ringo, the wiping on the Hi-Hat!

[MachielDrums]

first good full band cover, thanks!

[5786Dan]

I like full band covers very much, thank you for posting.

[TheBeatlesRock12341]

your friggen skilled! love this video!

[MajorYT]

Very nice! The bass could have been louder. What's that on your pinky finger?

[zachisaniceperson]

@MajorYT It's called a slide

[MajorYT]

@zachisaniceperson Thanks zach! I googled what a slide was. Heh

[tlxjackster12]

you re awesome man! :D

[superaaronash]

@CallSignMusic - Brill! Thanks man, much appreciated -those damn odd bars always throw me!

[AJohnnymous]

You can play every instrument needed for a Beatles' song. You've unlocked "McCartney Status"  :)

[MadSpectro7]

I wonder how just the four of them played this on stage.

[superaaronash]

I have to ask... I am a drummer - and simply cannot figure out how to count the beginning to hit that drum fill ! Any tips?

[5and6BEATLES34]

@superaaronash Its t, s, s, t, t, s, t. Hope that helps :D

[CallSignMusic]

@superaaronash It's a measure of 4/4 followed by a measure of 9/8. So the count is:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and the fill starts on beat 6 (I believe) of the 9/8 measure. Keep in mind that the beats in the 9/8 measure are twice as fast as the 4/4 measure.

[rvgilder]

It would be really cool if you did a cover for one of the beatles latest songs. (Get Back, Don't Let Me Down, I've got a feeling)!

[frankburrows]

Great work--as usual!

[frankburrows]

I love the slide/regular finger technique. I saw Johnny Winter back in the day and he did a lot of that. I do it on the ending section of the video response that I attached--"Pumpkinland".

[XalltheY]

insane drum throne bro

[Loky1940]

:o 

[hippojuice23]

sly slide!!!



[rockyjnr10]

Brilliant Michael!

[MadSpectro7]

I like the dynamic camera shifts. They look and different.

[blackspace007]

Great job! You're very talented :)

[patrii9100]

you change a hofner strap orginal ;)

[BandOnTheRun87]

john and george used 1962 surf blue fender strats on this song but like always you play everything to perfection, obviously not always the same insturments for obvious reasons.

[TheBeatlesRock12341]

Awesome cover dude!!!!! :D

[TheBeatlesRock12341]

Awesome cover!!! :D

[gdholmfirth]

You so nailed this one. Every instrument. Good job!

[Sergaras666]

awesome solo.

[bobby6900]

your a genius

[TheHeavymetalpenguin]

Nice cowbell work. How did you isolate the vocal tracks?

[chilibro]

whats the metal slide thing called?

[thebattlecat]

@chilibro It's called a "slide", also known as a "piston-wrist-pin-worn-on-the-­pinky-thingy".

[chilibro]

@thebattlecat about how much are they?

[thebattlecat]

@chilibro Go to a garage that rebuilds engines and ask them if you can have a used one that they are going to throw away. I used a wrist pin from the VW engine I rebuilt, but I have little fingers. Good luck.

[LifeAsAnExtra]

You NAILED THE SOLO!

[AmigoFiell]

just one word: TALENT

[Larrymarx]

Awesome complement for a GREAT BAND :-) LM

[juanpablo6toon]

Great cover ;)

How do you do?

I congratulate you ...

Greetings from Santiago, Chile

[mgalbu]

BRILLIANT!! How can somebody "dislike" this?? Losers...

[TheGrubification]

The drumming is a little sloppy, but I've seen your other videos...I know how much of a monster you are on the guitar.

[steadycam1969]

Fantastic! Not just musically but also the video production. Do you due all the camera and editing yourself too. Wow! I for one appreciate all your talent. Great fx. Please keep these great vids coming! BRAVO!

[patrii9100]

i need lesson please!!! (guitar)

[MrLennon231]

I was listening to this during homework and I thought that I was listening to the real thing, until i looked up and saw you playing the solo :)

[pzbasshunter8]

Is that Hofner a Contemporary or a German made one?

[monkeychunger]

@pzbasshunter8 It's a contemporary, you can tell by the controll knobs.

[pzbasshunter8]

@monkeychunger would you recommend the contemporary bass?

[monkeychunger]

@pzbasshunter8 Yes. It performs and looks like one of the german made models and it's price is far more pocket friendly. The contemporary is based on the 64 Hofner, so the fretboard is very slim and not always comfortable, but a very good bass guitar, i have yet to play anything better.

[vmanbeatles]

can i get more cowbell?

[07foxmulder]

did george harrison actually play in the verse's and chorus like you do in this video? listening to the album it only sounds like a bass. the only time the guitar sounds noticeable is during the solo... obviously lol

[irheathecote]

Jesus christ mate, this is a lot of talent packed into one human being. I truly mean this when i say it. Why on earth does the universe allow less talented people when YOU are the one who should be surrounded by papparazzi and screaming fans?

[johnd1224]

is there any one better??? brilliant stuff. best regards . john [from liverpool uk]

[fishindean]

Blown away,, this is so good !!!

[indotravis]

i like it , cool man!!

[MultiDean98]

you have quite the talent

[Spinking11]

Needs more cowbell

[rhythmantic]

Great playing all around. Very skillful and quality video and audio mix. Brilliant! as the Brits say.

[ARISZAB]

Absolutely Brilliant!

[Robertcowart]

Dude, you're really talented, both as a musician and videographer. Very clever and instructive.

[DIVIDINGkill]

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!

[satchelpooch01]

Fine job!

[PaulMcClaver]

wow! you must to be in my band

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

you have the best instruments dude, and your vids are awsome

[NorgeToffel]

You, sir, are. Talented musician, video editor, and a top notch gentleman.

[ephemera2010]

@NorgeToffel your check is in the mail ; )

[jblackmets111]

[Vitally14]

Boost the piano volume

[21LDJ]

A la ma.............No manches!!! super chido el video!! Hasta la editada del video se merece el me gusta XD ...............Excelente COVER!! :DDD (Y)

[sixtieskid062]

I like how you nailed George's slide guitar part. Very cool.

[joemarmer5493]

you made this my favorite song.

[trackman235]

hey just a quick question.. what mic are you using to mic up your amp to your computer? thanks!

[Denthedragon]

Did Paul really use a slide when recording the solo?

[123spiker123]

@Denthedragon I'm not sure if he did on the recording, but when he plays it live (now) his guitarist uses one.

[kackalacke66]

you are amazing ! really well made :-)you would bemy man for a beatles tribute band :-D greetz from germany

[meta9luigi]

Hey MJ!, Can you please tell me what strings you are using on Your epi casino?

Joe

[stoned66neves]

Yamaha DGX 640 or 530??

[celticat61]

AMAZING!!!!!! :-) Loved it.

[Bowielistener]

Sorry to be nitpicking, cause you really are quite talented, and I like what you're doing. But the cowbell and piano are turned up too loud in the mix and the bass is a little on the quiet side.

[iwannaholdyourhand1]

after u take the hofner pick guard off can u put it back on?

[aalcantaramusic]

@iwannaholdyourhand1 Yes.

[zuperbal]

You are a great player and talented!!! Excellent!!! I am subscribed for sure,

Peace, Man!!

[rajjar52]

Man, thanks for coming back...we missed you!

[jashilsdonmusic]

Over 14 thousand views, you don't need me to tell you that what you've done is awesome.

[masonho1]

[ephemera2010]

@masonho1 it was FEBRUARY bite me

[TylerRobinson7]

This is freaking awesome! Do you like that keyboard? ive been looking at it myself

[BrownGuitar325]

@TylerRobinson7 What kind of keyboard is that?

[TylerRobinson7]

@BrownGuitar325 It looks and sounds like a Yamaha YPG-635. I could be wrong though

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

@BrownGuitar325 - ITS A WAL-MARTO SX327-R5

[chilibro]

do you suck a singing or do you just not like to or what?

[unemployedyouth123]

what year and make is you drum set

[Jakaroo96]

Hey how are you filming your piano part with the camera cause it seems to be exactly where your head is?

[CorvetteStingray75]

u should SOOO do "The End" full band cover :D

[JohnLennoninmyGuitar]

Nice 12 string, why don't you use it MJ?

[tvtek]

Awesome, and a great video to boot! Gotta love Beatles music and you nailed it!

[numanuma94]

can you do a vid on how to play like Paul McCartney?

[kainthevampireduck]

why don't you do a mix like the one on the original 1965 vinyl?, it sounds very diffrenet, bass and drums are on the center.

(I hate how the mixes on the cds sound on rubber soul and revolver, the records sound "destroyed" compared to the original vinyl mixes).

ps:ooh, I was going to post a link to the song copied from my vinyl record to illustrate what I mean, but I can't :/

let's see....

try

/listen/d98beac/drive-my-car-t­he-beatles

[MrLennon231]

[maiajazz]

Nice Job!!!

[xxdunkalixx]

Could have used more cowbell.

[Scarperguy]

The bass is awfully quiet

[mjsokes]

@Scarperguy headphones headphones headphones headphones...

[trackman235]

@Scarperguy even without the headphones, the bass is sufficiently audible just like the record. Awesome Job with this MJ!

[Scarperguy]

@trackman235 It's not as loud as the record for sure. I'm listening through a 2.1 system too, with a special bass speaker

[rockstopsthetraffic]

@Scarperguy

The mixing is actually quite great.

[rockstopsthetraffic]

@Scarperguy

Maybe not completely faithful, but at least you can hear all the instruments.

[crosmas]

I did this once but I didn't have your equipment or the vocals, the vocals are friggin' difficult for this tune for some reason. Good job!!!!!!!!

[tatu3670]

Excelente !!!

[dwoac6595]

[mjbeatle94]

[westfield90]

Thank You Thank You - there are tons of guitar tutorials out there, but no one for some reason does great accurate Beatles keyboards - EXCEPT you. I loved seeing the keyboard in this video and in your hello goodbye. Please keep them coming.
