[au574]

I liked the song but please loose the wife beater.

[dmoney577]

This is badass

[Humbertoid]

Me gusta mucho tu version locaso. Que grande. Saludos.

[jehorner]

Loved the approach of this old beatles tune,I am glad you did your own version,very refreshing.A lot of Beatle songs are so intrestingly structured that an artist such as yourself, can take the music in an new direction.Please do more.

[luiscide]

That's a lot of talent there chap.

[Badobsession89]

I dig that rhythm a lot, nicely done

[lovelalajess]

I really really like your cover. You made it your own & sang it in a way that sounded natural for you. It made me love the song more to hear it in a more contemporary style. :)

[murraymae]

I usuallly hate this type of thing, but I loved this! You hit every chord albeit with a different beat. Makes a great old song contemporary in a great way.

[gt0568b]

I rather like this version. Good job thinking outside the box. Enjoyed the modern, R&B take on this classic.

[dahur]

What a great job!! Loved it.

[yamaha6nylon]

I guess you might get some criticism because the original recording is kind of a "rough" song and this is pretty polished and smooth. Completely different energy. I personally think it doesn't matter, you're supposed to do whatever you want on a cover.

[FTMSM]

this is good wtf

[dunbarrn]

Nice, great rhythm and some creative chord tones and hammer-ons. Constructive criticism is fine but those first few negative comments comparing this to the Beatles version..... my point, no need to defend your version.

[maggs5961]

I think this is just awesome. Great version of the song.

Jim

[hyperbayes]

i like your version. Keep your music going ...

[jcldano]

Great job...like your interpretation - nice embellishments and sounds great!

[TDubsesbueno]

not to be a jerk, but George's version was the best. it's a meaningful song, and this kind of ruins it.

[123michaelm123]

@TDubsesbueno

whatev

[TDubsesbueno]

@123michaelm123 like i said, wasn't trying to be a dick. you're really good at guitar/ singing, this just isn't the way the song was meant to be played.

[123michaelm123]

@TDubsesbueno

i'm not george harrison, john lennon, or paul mccartney, so there's no way i could ever play it the way they did. Of course the original is the best. I love the song, so I recorded it. It's called a cover, so it's bound to be different.

[angelsbeatlesfan]

@123michaelm123 I think your amazing! It makes the song BETTER! great voice and guitar skills!!

[jrny99]

fine job, i was buzzing around looking for how to play this and found yours.

[ALMOS7ify]

No.

[masonha1]

man that was amazing, can u post a lesson?

[isam1705]

Very nice rendition! Creative playing and you have a good singing voice as well. Keep up the good work!!

[yannidevotion]

dude whats with all the haters...the mere fact that you made the style different is art within itself...have you ever heard the beatles do a cover of someone else??? yeah...it sounds fucking different than the original....i wonder why

[Adonai87]

very great cover!!!

[MsShadel]

great guitarist, great singer, great cat :D

[TheDeantrix]

Bravo. Excellent cover. You're very talented.

[takitowarrior]

that other guy was an ignorant ass hole, good job man!

[LordEizen]

hahaha stupid comments, i liked it man nice rhythms, singing and playing :D

[nyerndc]

I watched the video and read some of the comments. I liked it, great Latin type of rhythm.

[angel071]

aww sweet cover! great job.. same with "its only love". the only two i've watched so far! you can sing to me anyday =D

[Cucdaddy]

I have been playing along with your video most every night. Thanks for helping me with this most tricky rhythm !

[luisito338]

hi,, you're play pretty good like harrison:) well now i practice this song becouse I like so much haha and all your song you've played ,, me too play those song haa well good luck and congruletion

From mexico

Luiss Eduardo Byee!

[Beatlebug60]

This actually sounded pretty good! I loved the very beginning of the song...good job! Must have taken a lot of practice

[billB2GBG]

these aren't the chords the Beatles used, not entirely, because those books go off the published scores, which aren't accurate as to what they really played. However, I think you can make any song sound great. Enjoyed this.

[Cucdaddy]

SWEET ! I love the rhythm you chose. This is one of the most difficult songs to play and you did so perfectly !

[mikeinminn]

Liked it alot. 

[Limited305]

One of the coolest covers I have ever heard.

Amazing man.

[itschris1821]

Very good nice twist to a great song

[SmithersJones87]

Good cover. Sounds different :)

[castillokids2007]

Great cover of this song. Yes the old way is good but this wasy is just as good. I kinda like it better. Its a cover and you did really well.

Joey jr

[yakusokowairanai]

Great!!!

Loved your version of it. Just suscribed to your channel.

Saludos!

[jakayboy]

catt in the back ground!!!!!!!!!!!

[ScouseFolky]

U have no concept of what the songs about. One of the worst beatles covers av heard. Stick to singin usher songs lol

[123michaelm123]

@ScouseFolky

-Haha whatever man. Not sure where usher came into the picture...I've never played a song by him in my life.

[maggs5961]

@123michaelm123

Love your interpretation of this song. As a Beatles fan, those who bring the music into their hearts know what the song is about. Love it......

[Romazio7]

@123michaelm123 Forget him that was amazing....

[brendanbuyers2009]

Current. Updated. In the pocket. Any originals?

[Dntexerville]

Ha! Your cute you can play the guitar and you have a good voice!! Keep it up love this version alot!

[davtve]

NO NO NO NO NO NO! Why the hell the modern assface rhythm??? I fuckin hate that

[123michaelm123]

@davtve

This is why it's called a cover. What specific rhythm did you have in mind?

[davtve]

I think this particular rhythm, and perhaps a couple more, are pervading all music nowadays. At the time this song was written, there was an open-mindedness towards rhythm in general, and one always chose the rhythm fitting to the song structure. Today it seems like artists are bound to certain rhythms, like the one you chose to play this song in. But in fact, I don't blame you. You have so much influence, both consciously and unconsciously, from this ridiculous music industry nowadays...

[123michaelm123]

@davtve

I don't feel like I'm "bound" to certain rhythms. I chose to play the song using this particular style because I enjoy it. I was brought up on the beatles and other great 60s bands, so the idea that I've been "consciously and unconsciously" influenced by modern crap is ludicrous.

[3isallwesee]

@davtve dude.... your just jealous of this guy, 123michaelm123 is a very good guitar player and singer. (this is a very hard rhythym to play it how george harrison does and sing so i dont expect to see it.) I like the interpretation and i say well done your guitar sounded very good!

[mollehhhx]

luvin da cat

[XMrTakoX]

Could you give us the tabs please?

[masonhi]

LENNON IS THE GREATEST!!!

[flojogrande]

Sorry man but at 59 seconds the cat stole the show....j/k it was a great take, great vocals. You made it your own.

[rocktronhector]

porque todos cantan así?, canten con originalidad por favor con su propia voz, saludos!

[BeatleBangs1964]

Damn, you are good! I like that Spanish influence.

You are GOOD! George Harrison who sang it (John wrote it) would most likely listen to this with a big smile on his face.

[XMrTakoX]

God dam that was beautiful lol

[juliedavis64]

Great job, I really enjoyed it.

[sanumotrake]

your guitar sounds very good

[chrismarshall1950]

in your copy of the beatles: the complete scores is it true that the pages will fall out and it is difficult to keep the pages open?

[Hofner730]

The Beatles Im Happy Just To Dance With You. This song is a happy song not sad song so sing with a happily voice dont sing with sad voice.

[123michaelm123]

haha k i'll try and sing with a happily voice next time :D

[Hofner730]

hey sorry for the very rude comment. please forgive me.

[Francoplays]

[Griffbrettkokser88]

wow that was fuckin' nice ! :D

keep on rockin ;)

[BrandonShw]

Clearly you understand this song, and you perform it well. It's a pity that this song is often dismissed as being a quick formula effort to find a vehicle for George. It was, but it is also a beautiful song, that always get's the emotions going.

[pinknblues1]

Hey this is a great cover matey nice one!

[bluefloyd50]

excellent acoustic cover version of one of my favorites. george would have been proud!

[FUSIONpresents]

Good vocal. You sound like you have a twinge of spanish in your playing.

[milan1499]

yeahhh..excellent cover, very original,,,your style is wow!!..=9 take care man!!!! SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO...

[jcpc1982]

excellent cover of this song. You are our new teacher hahha I am going to try to learn this song. I hope someday i can play as good as you.

Joey jr

[andrewatts77]

[ransomclan]

Another good one. BTW, I don't know what Twitter is either, but your Twitten FABULOUS

[gracie8807]

I couldn't keep you ALL to myself ;)

You're too good! Someone sent a "almost better than Dave" reply and I quite agree. Dave is the master, but you sure are up there!

[123michaelm123]

I don't know what twitter is, but thanks! :)

[gracie8807]

AH! Mike! I don't think I've disliked any of your covers. You're flipping fabulous! I also tweeted about you on Twitter and posted links to a few of your videos...you have about 5+ new fans in love with you from Twitter now! I got a bunch of replies from people going "OMG he's amazing" and the like. So you're officially uber popular now that I've tweeted about you and let the whole world know ;)
