[cast390]

George Martins Son?

[CanKuman8]

it's most covered song of all time not only Beatles

[plutarkosky]

thank you for this video, now I can play the guitar, piano and banjo with all this information, I am now leaving preggo chicks all over the place, they just can't resist my playing.

[musicman1296]

yes and please mention the tuning not standard.

[cast390]

@musicman1296 It is standard just tuned down a whole step

Sorry, just to clarify. The high notes are strummed UP, NOT DOWN. He strums the high notes up while plucking bass note with thumb, creates a very smooth sound. Not bashing you, just trying to help be more specific with sound. Cheers

[FabFourVideos]

Strumming is NOT correct. Not strummed down on the high strings, they are actually pinched with hand as he plucks bass note at the same time. Listen to it and hear what I mean. After playing it on record and a few LIVE Beatle concerts in 65, Paul strummed like you are here. But that was only 70's to today.

I covered this song by slowing it down just a tiny bit. Check it out, hopefully you like it. Cheers!

McCartney originally did play the song in the key of F by tuning the whole guitar down a whole tone. This can be heard in the Beatles Anthology CDs that came out in '95 -- Paul can be heard saying "It's F for you but G for me" meaning of course that it looked to John and George like he was playing in the key of G because his guitar was tuned down.

[jerml21]

The G chord position shown is correct. The second string is played at the third fret, which is a D, the fifth of the chord, instead of playing the open B, which is the third. The B normally played on the fifth string, second fret, is damped by the middle finger playing the G on the sixth string. The result is that there is no third played in the chord -- it's all G and D notes. So it is neither a minor nor major chord. That's what gives that hollow, plaintive quality to the opening chord.

Right. Thanks for helping make this clear to the otehr posters.

[mandingman]

@OloIsNumba1 Agreed, this is a preview lesson. To be honest, if you have been doing your reasearch as a musician you shouod already know the chords...just this snippet of the video immensely helped my chord choice and strumming technique, more so than any other ten min vid i saw. great "preview", and nevermind the haters.
