[ReePa666999666999]

[ReePa666999666999]

@privettricker I cant imagine they would throw anything matey.....you played it brilliantly :)

[ShadowLeaf1001]

ATTENTION ALL JOHN LENNON FANS

On October 9th we will all watch "Imagine" in honor of the greatest singer ever's birthday. Let's give him the best birthday present ever: the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what Justin Bieber does not deserve to have!

Copy and paste to all John lennon/beatles videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly

THUMBS THIS UP

LET'S GET THIS NOTICED

Lets help John lennon

[meglaw69]

Great job.Isthat a Gibson J -200 or an Epiphone?

[JohnLennoninmyGuitar]

@meglaw69 I believe hes usin a Gibson, seems like a Gibson anyways

[meglaw69]

@JohnLennoninmyGuitar I agree. The only reason why I asked is because Epiphone which is a company owned by Gibson makes a J-200 also .It is a cheaper made version that looks just about the same except of course you can tell by the headstock which is not visible in this video. George Harrison Played a 1968 Gibson J-200 on the recording of Here Comes the sun which is an icredible acoustic. A J-200 cost about 4 grand today .

[JohnLennoninmyGuitar]

@meglaw69 Yeah, unless we see a headstock, we can never know =P. Gibsons dont sound.. Cheap... like their Epiphone brothers, and Epiphones are much much more cheaper. But 4 grand... Geez thats waayy too much

[privettricker]

@JohnLennoninmyGuitar If you're just taking a quick glance (and you can't see the headstock), you can also tell by the pickguard. The Epiphone pickguards look, frankly, a little chintzy (but I'm not dismissing Epiphones just because the pickguards are ugly -- the pickguard of my Martin D41 is an embarrassment, and that guitar is more expensive than this one). The difference is obvious when you see them side by side.

[JohnLennoninmyGuitar]

@privettricker Youre right, the Epi pickguards are bloody ugly!

[privettricker]

@JohnLennoninmyGuitar You should see the D41 pickguard close up. It's one of those tortoise-shell looking guards, but it's actually a digital photo of a tortoise-shell guard. You can see the pixels in it! On a high-end guitar, that's unforgivable.

[JohnLennoninmyGuitar]

@privettricker Absolutely unforgivable! And you say its more expensive than the J-200? That is embarrasing, and such a waste of money and good timber... Shame on you Martin guitars! Shame!

[ryanwatson11]

very gd m8

[beyondalohas]

Gibson SJ200.. so sweet

[wxajt]

justin beiber got jealous so he disliked this videoXD

[Archerjr1]

Did you let out a big grin like George did when the crowd began cheering...I did.

[1234banban]

My God thats the sexiest guitar i've ever seen!

I wan't it's babies!

[funguy4utube]

George would be proud ...

[ryler99]

Yeah a lesson on this one would be nice.

[jin256]

I feel this one deserves an lesson

[snitpicker]

Now that I realize that he's playing most of the melody notes on an UPstroke, it makes this so much easier to play!

Man, I should be paying your for this stuff. We all should! Better than pancakes!

[snitpicker]

Yeah, you may have nicer guitars than me, but you're a way better player than I am. So there.

Um. Wait a sec...

You're helping me get better, though. You're a gold mine for guitarists, man. Thanks for doing this. 

[tgilldesign]

Excellent job Privettricker..... I enjoy all your videos. Fun Stuff!!!

[martipin12]

can u do a lesson?



[mfische1]

first of all: you have done it well! i couldn´t keep up with george harrison´s speed as you can ;)

just one question:

do you pick the strings individual at the text passages "...it´s been a long cold only winter..." and "it´s seems like years since it´s been here..." or do you strum in between? i ask because i am not sure if george harrison played it actually...

i would aprreciate it if you could answer my question - thanks :)

[privettricker]

@mfische1 It's not really strumming in between, it's more strumming the whole passage. I do an upstroke on the melody line and then a downstroke on the root for each of those. So it's a strum that starts with an upstroke (while hitting the individual notes for the melody) and then a downstroke to get the root notes. I hope that makes sense.

[yobob270]

A Rolling Stones shirt on playing the Beatles...my my lol

[privettricker]

@yobob270 My loyalties are divided.

[TheCJSMJ]

you are really awesome and i want to play as well like you

[MrTwister1964]

It's a bit sloppy, but close enough for jazz.
