  • Thanks for posting this lesson.

    When you get a chance could you please explain something for me.

    In the 'Ticket to Ride' riff after b10 bend b8 g9 slide b10 - b12 e10 do you play b10 g10 bend e10 and finally g12?

    Cheers Brian

  • Great lesson, Larry! I'm 66, saw The Beatles in Hamburg, Germany in '62 when I was in the U.S. Navy, then again in '63 in Liverpool. You're right about the simple chord progressions, and great sounds coming from them long before all the studio gizmoes they use today. Goerge Harrison was a genius when it came to writing solo riffs, etc. Oh...and...my last name is McCartney. And...I'm left handed. Go figure. :D)

  • dang dude, thats amazing singing.

  • thx 4 the help dude, we, the silent majority, learn and move on quietly, sometimes we forget to rate or leave a comment, but we're here and appreciate all the masters, ignore the turds and keep passing on the knowledge.

  • Great job. Thanks!

  • nice job, thanks for posting

  • Thank you very much!! This was exactly what I was looking for!

  • Dude, u have an awesome siging voice. I also love the sound out of your guitar. Finally, you nailed al of the lessons so thanks for helping me. :)

  • You are boring ...

  • @joeswan59 go fuck yourself. You can't find anything else to do...maybe you should get a job or something, assuming you are capable of holding a job instead of wanking yourself.

  • awesome lesson Larry!!!

  • matateeee ni siiera ess el soloo

  • Thanks a lot, Larry! Your video helped a complete neophyte make sense of the song.

  • You are great at guitar, very impressive that you learnt by ear and you have an amazing singing voice!

  • hulk hoggan

  • never learn tabs

    i wish i learned by ear, now i'm stuck with them

    playing by ear is an accomplishment in it's own right

  • Thanx bro that was verry helpful. i tried to learn the day tripper solo to the cover david cook did. you think you could help us out agn?

  • hey thanks really helpful

  • great lesson dude, Hot dog fingers and all!

  • Hey Larry!!! It took me 30 yrs to learn the little solo of Ticket to Ride! Thans a bunch dude! You're great! I'll try hard and go for the Day Tripper solo!!!

    Cheers from Brazil!!!!

  • Thanks Larry. I actually got some of TTR right ....just as you played it.

  • hi my friend

  • Thanks Man!!! Im just starting guitar again. I like your easy going nature, its great for a beginner. Thanks again!!!

  • Thanks for this.

    Just wanted to say also that although what you say is true about The Beatles' lead parts not being difficult to play technically, they are almost all highly memorable, and like mini-compositions in their own right. That's a skill/creative ability which most technical wizzards don't possess.

    Thanks, once again,

  • AWESOME STUFF MAN THX

  • great lesson, thank you so much...5 minutes and i now have the solo down...cudos to your teaching.

  • you were realy good! you were also very intersting to listin to. oh almost forgot you had a great voice. wish i could play like you but thats how it goes sometimes i guess :). thanks again

  • Those people are just lonely haters, I think you did a really good job.

  • Thanks bonghit...hey I remember those days...LOL. SSSHHHH!! :D

  • the second part to the solo 4 day tripper when you put you finger on the b strin at the 12 fret is it the same notes as in the first part of the solo???

  • hey u rock, dont listen to those bitch asses

    ROCK ON

  • Wot a nice guy... Thanx very much, interesting & helped me out!  :o)

    Dave, UK

  • Obviously words is all YOU can produce as well because you have NOTHING posted on your profile...which probably means you are a typical no-talent youtube cruiser who only makes negative posts just to piss other people off at you because you have no concept of being a human being. Go back to the rock from which you crawled out from under and leave us real humans alone.

  • It doesn't appear that YOU play ANYTHING at all yourself, so why are you bitching at me? This is supposed to be an INSTRUCTIONAL "HOW TO PLAY IT" video which requires me to talk. Why don't you visit my video list and watch some of the other stuff I've done before you shoot off your mouth, DICK HEAD. Just remember, YOU will be an old man too someday...that is if your mouth doesn't get your ass killed first.

  • YEAH BROTHER!! ITS HULK ROCK -N_ROLL

  • hey, your not alone. I dont know tabs either, i just listen to the song for 3 hours untile i figure it out:-)

  • Hey your stuff is great. I was wondering if you could go through the chours for WE Can Work it Out. Thanks

  • very good teacher

  • Larry, I really appreciate your bit of sly humour. You, made me laugh!  You have a very nice voice! Check out my channels videos. Thanks.

  • From one fat Nubby Fingered Guitarist to another "THANK YOU MAN THANK YOU!!! you are the KING of us NFG.

  • NFGs UNITE! We're gonna take over the world! YEA BAYBEEE! LOL. Thanks for the comment!

    LC

  • Thank yew so much, I really appreciate your instructional vids! Cooler than porn! (I Kid!)

  • From an old(57) guy to another...YOU ROCK & a joy to listen to!

    By the way, I own a 1964 Chet Atkins Tennessean. I can't play worth a crap. But the guitar is AWESOME!

  • Great Stuff and a pleasant chap!

  • ya thanks i was stuk with

  • hey Lc you got a nice singing voice

  • hey and you have a nice voice

  • nice tele your tele is beta then my brothers

  • Hey Silverhammer,...you're my kind of Beatle fan,....yeah!

  • Thanks a lot!

    How do you determine the key of the song?

  • Hi, and you're welcome ;). I am glad this has helped you. I determine the key of the song from the original. I mostly play by ear and by watching the artists themselves play. These two songs weren't difficult to figure out by ear.

  • Ah I see, thanks.

    Is there any trick? Like the first bass note of the song? I've heard before that you can find it out by that.

  • That's one way of doing it, yea. With me, I found that after I had played for a while I had developed the ability to recognize the sounds of particular guitar chords. Playing by ear involves a fair degree of trial & error until you are able to hear it and recognize it.

  • Coolies! Thanks for stopping in to say hello :) Cheers! LC

  • Thanks for this.

    The Beatles early solos may be simple to play, but they're masterfully composed. I think that George's solos - as someone else said long ago, and as Jeff Beck said in an interview - are like little songs in themselves.

  • and you got a nice voice

  • Dude!, Awsome! L from Liverpool

  • Great guy

  • i used to play the keyboard / piono by ear and in music lessons in school told the teacher no need to read music and i hear it in my head and can play it - recorded, trumpet, saxophone, trombone kazoo i can get a tune out of everything but prefer just plain ol singing!! Thanks for the lesson i'll dust off my guitar and give it another go - only instrument i fail to master propperly by ear my gramdfather was exactly the same he could play the saw but not guitar.

  • you learn exactly the same way that I learn how to play my guitar.

  • Nice sound man, why its as good today as it was so long ago...maybe better?

  • You're right, it is more of a fill than it is a solo. I suppose you could attribute it to craneal flatulence. ;) Sorry if I confused you. LC

  • i think ringo rocks yet he didn't get a lot of the credit macca the great john lennon george got the credit but ringo starr was and proberly still is the BEST drummer in the world

  • You'll get no argument from me about Ringo. He's like a hand-made swiss watch...steady as a rock.

  • larry you are the man thank you so much and merry christmas from my family to yours.

  • thank you!:)

  • who was the most underrated beatle?

  • but now would you want ringo playing keyboards on one of your records? i'd much rather have paul play even though none of the beatles could read music

  • In all honesty, we really don't know the level of Ringo's expertise on the keyboards except that we know that he played the Hammond Organ on I'm Looking Through You, and the little piano jam he does with Paul in the movie Let It Be. He can probably play better than me...LOL...but that's no big feat in itself. LOL LC

  • btw paul mccartney played lead on ticket to ride

  • Macca played the lead guitar bits on several Beatles songs in the studio. He was probably the most multi-talented musician of all of them...and I don't say that to offend anyone, it's just my opinion. LC

  • do you really though think the beatles wanted to be complex using being a jimi hendrix type of band? using all these complex techniques and effects? i dont think so, they were great musicians but i dont know if they were excellent, they could all play a variety of insturments accept maybe ringo

  • One of the beauties to the Beatles music is that it was NOT incredibly complex, yet straight-forward...that is until they began to confine themselves to the studio and began to utilize recording techniques which could never be replicated in a live setting...at least back then. I agree with you about the musicianship, I just feel Paul was the most tallented of all. Ringo plays keyboards by the way...LOL. LC

  • Paul was the best piano player of them all but on guitar he was just second best after George but still in front of John by far. Nice job man keep on playing!

  • actually in the beginning paul was much better than george, but he just decided to play bass because they didnt have one after. just listen to his killer riffs on songs like Rain or Drive my car...

  • awesome man, you should do a instructional video for your version of 18 by alice cooper that was better than the original

  • are you an instructor now? you know how to play while my guitar gently weeps?

  • I have never played the lead guitar bit on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. In fact, I've never played that song on guitar before, but I DO play it on piano.

  • whenever u have time write a song about kicking chinas ass lol love it dude!
