  • I love that acoustic version. And I've got a feeling too! I have got the feeling that Paul is an amazing guy!!! :D

  • Yesterday i saw this man in concert..It was life changing.Words cant even express..it was life changing..my first concert at 13.

  • Take me to the bridge!

  • Great version on this song but never will be as great without John.

  • MAGIC!!! AMAZING SONG AND INTERPRETATION BY PAUL!

  • Is that a red wings logo on the back of his guitar?

  • Comment removed

  • @Palomabeat 2:09 Yes, it is.

  • No john

  • @rolandrog uh, the beatles were spontaneous in Hamburg. this sounds great to me.

  • Can someone help me identify the strumming pattern here? Im a guitar newbie and i wanna try to play the song this way :)

  • Таке the guitar and treat this video as a mirror- Paul's chords are mirror reflections to the regular ones.

  • Different Tuning

  • do left handed guitarists re-string their guitar so all the strings are switched?

  • they either do that, or buy left handed guitars

  • in this case, it's re-strung.  As you can see the pick guard the other way.

  • I've got a feeling...dooooooo!=)

  • I'm not sure what all the fuss is about- He's playing it In A as usual, but the Guitar is tuned down a full step (DGCFAD)  as that Is the Tuning used for Jenny Wren (and Yesterday, of course) . His Electric versions are still In Standard.

  • Awesome

  • Paul is so fantastic.The new Fireman Album is a White Album. Great

  • It's standard tuning. The same way they played it back in the 60's. Open string tuning didn't come along for many years later - late 80's or early 80's I think.

  • Open tuning has been around for about as long as the guitar has been around. Where'd you get this BS info anyway?

  • Paul is tuned down one whole step to make the guitar sound lower so that he could sing it more comfortably. His voice is not what it once was (it is a bit lower) so he simply tuned down. Hendrix, Van Halen (with David Lee Roth at least) etc. did it all of the time.

    As for open tuning. It has been around for a hundred years if not many more. Look up Son House and you will see that he is in open-G tuning. There are many old blues number that use it and they are on YouTube.

  • I have been trying to perfom this song, and I can't figure out the tunning guitar; I only know that is the same guitar that Paul uses also in jenny wren song, so maybe it wolud be a half step down, cause I did try and sounds good to me with half; but when i play it, just doesn't sound like the video.

  • I need a tabs, anyone???. Paul is the best musician around the world!!! Great song.

  • I've seen him do this song in its original form live several years after this, yes his voice has changed, but he can still do the original version, it appears in this version he just wanted a more low key, ambient feel. It's not a question of ability, just preference for this specific venue.

  • It is tuned down a whole step, but not necessarily because it is easier for him to sing (he just did this song at Coachella '09 in the correct key/tuning). It's tuned down because this performance was filmed at the same time "Chaos and Creation" was released. "Jenny Wren" is on that album and is tuned down a whole step, like "Yesterday" was over 40 years ago. He performed "Jenny Wren" during this performance and used the same guitar. I agree his voice is not what it used to be, though.

  • oh sorry .... i meant 1 step ....

  • maybe its tuned 2 steps lower .... seriously ... i think so .... just maybe ....

  • He is in standard tuning, playing an A chord with his pinky on the high A, then hammering on a d chord. Not quite sure about the bridge part.

  • soo damn amazing

    i love this version.

    Hope McCartney would do this kind of concerts

    often. Like and unpluged.

    If he would, i bet he will sound waaaay much

    better than 1991 concert.

  • Well Lennon isnt singing it...

    I personally loved this version

  • way to take out the lennon parts of the song

  • this is amazing-

  • i watched macca at liverpool in june doing 'day in the life' which thet never did as the beatles.a true lennon/maccartney track.made my hairs stand on end,an he was very moved by some of the old songs he played....so long may he contine doing old stuff,it isnt a 'convenience' to please the crowd...he actually loves what he's doin at the min...i have seen it for myself.watch him on utube playing'here today' live in LA about john lennon..he starts to cry.

  • anyone know what tuning that is? Looks like open G almost?

  • i thought it was just a whole step down

  • im almost positive that its standard tuning. no special tricks up his sleeve. that was never pauls cup of tea anyway

  • the chord is a G chord though, i just checked.. could he have downtuned a whole step for some reason?

  • duhhh...hes singing by himself..im sure he doesnt want to be that loud..hes still playing in the original A structure

  • the chords are A,D/A for the whole verse

  • it sounds and looks like it's open tuning, i think you're right. i don't have a guitar with me now to check

  • Detroit's Red wings sticker from Back in the U.S. At the Palace of Auburn Hills

  • Bewaremylove, i'm glad it's your two cents. take your two cents and run along. i won a football tournament in my school, 13 years back. i sitll talk about it to my friends. effing local pub cup competition. i think both those blokes deserve the right to talk what they want, without worrying about your silly two cents. rent boys arent welcome, if you are tired of it, switch off the tv and watch yoko ono instead. have a nice day pally

  • i love this version!!!

  • COOL!!

  • fuck you mother fucker bastard

  • I think this was aimed for the positive manner, against bernies comment.

  • hey you are not normal man! you put soo damn good videos,this is amazin awesome Paul McCartney!i could cry.Whats wrong with you XD

  • heather mills just called. she found your glovey. thank you.

  • Nice job Paul. A+

  • who can show me a better performer??????

  • john lennon.

  • that was unnecessary

  • lol

  • Yes, this was probably one of the last great real joint compositions by John and Paul. This version is interesting though, as you can imagine that it could have ended up on Macca's first solo album in this form - still a good song, but made so much stronger by John's counterpoint, that is absent from this track. It's good that Paul chooses not to sing John's part here - can only wonder who or what he's thinking about as he sings it...

  • I will stop messing about now. I dont want to end up dead....

  • He is not a .....

  • Bellyflops2 : we call that an accent....

    I think it makes his voice very personal & one of a kind

    long live paul! i love you!

  • Love Paul but sometimes he sings like his nose is stuffed up or something.

  • @Bellyflops2 you must be thinking of John's nasally twang then.

  • I miss Lennon!!

  • Very intelligent comment mmonzon26 - not.

  • ok aload of people think paul crap he is'nt he well good he brilliant so i dont know what u people are talking about!

  • i miss john and goerge

    i hope at least ringo adn paul get 2gether it will b much better

  • I believe Paul does know that the "magic" stopped when The Beatles broke up. Without John writing, playing and singing along side him, it just isn't the same. I am sure John thought the same. Either way, I believe this is a loving tribute by Paul to his mate, John.

  • Paul did not do this as a tribute to John. since the song is actually pieces of three unfinished songs. Two by John, titled Everybody Had A Hard Year and Watching Rainbows, and Pauls unfinished I've Got A Feeling, which was written about Linda. They just crammed the songs together in the studio during the Let It be sessions.

  • as john said in one of his songs "i don't believe in beatles. i just believe in john." he may have really felt that way, he might have not. either way, i'm sure paul doesn't feel the same. some good thoughts

  • I wish that the two remaining Beatles would go out with class and stop doing The Beatles songs over & over & over & over. Trust me, Lennon would be pissed!

  • You know, Macca wouldn't do Beatles for years...then he found it a convenient way to make audiences happy and have some fun too,as his wings stuff was running out of gas. And he still is a good performer, so what do you complain about?

  • Haha, my two cents are: I still enjoy them, I rather see them doing that than nothing at all. Paul's been corny all the way since 1970, so why complain...

  • I get your point, but sometimes less is more!

    I never thought I would see 70 year old men playing R&R on stage. take a good look at The Rolling Stones faces, they have now become stone.

    Paul sometimes looks like a bad lookalike.

    Ringo is Ringo, if ya know what I mean?

  • Yep... I guess he had his facelifting alright. Maybe I just belong to the ones that'll forget him everything, except his nosiness at times. As for Ringo, he has aged well and I like his AllStarr band. Have you seen Jack Bruce with Peter Frampton and Ringo? Amazing...

  • paul without lennon is nothing

  • lennon without mccartney was nothing either.

  • THANK YOU! Well said. They both were geniuses as solo artist but when they were together they formed a new phenomenon!

  • I'd call it synergy, where the sum is greater than parts. They complimented each other perfectly. And no, neither one was as great without the others, George and Ringo were an essential part of the cocktail.

  • YOU are nothing, the king of the stupid comments. shut up man, listen to the music.

  • YOU ARE NOTHING. You're the king of stupid comments, please shut up man, and listen to the music, if you don't undesrstand it, listen to the Backstreet Boys.
