[Zofnok]

finally, a tutorial by someone who isnt a prepubescent middle school kid.

[jpm2u]

@Zofnok Ha ha...

[Ruzik123]

This is somewhat hard for me .

[jpm2u]

@Ruzik123 Just keep at it, It was hard for all of us at first.  Good luck.

[XightBike]

thanks! the hook is tricky though so i'll just have to play that with my voice. :D

[jpm2u]

@XightBike You're welcome and thanks for the comment. Good luck with the hook.

[banjohopeful]

Hi Joe, thanks for great clear lessons.

I love this song and with it you are taking me up the fretboard into the dusty unexplored regions.

[jpm2u]

@banjohopeful The "dusty unexplored regions" very poetic. I love this song too and I'm glad you liked the lesson. Thanks so much for the support. Cheers.

[MegaMrSuperfly]

@jpm2u

Could You Please E-mail Me A Copy On How To Play The Notes? I'm fairly new to playing the guitar and the video was great but I couldn't understand the fingerings too well....

[jpm2u]

@MegaMrSuperfly

Hi there Superfly, Wish I could but it don't really do that. In the future, I hope to get printed chords and

tabs. I have quite a few requests for notes/tabs etc. Keep at the guitar and keep practicing, it will come to you.

It took me a long time too.

[Mal0ri3]

You're awesome!

Hopefully I can play as good!

[jpm2u]

@Mal0ri3 Very kind, Thanks Malori. I'm sure you can. Looking forward to more vids from you. :)

[Prickford711]

Thanks for posting. I love the sound of it up on the 5th fret. Could you show me how you finger the F#m up on the 5th fret? It looks as if you're playing a Dmaj7 chord. Maybe I'm mistaken. Thanks and keep up the excellent playing!

[jpm2u]

@Prickford711

You're right, it's a Dmaj7 minus pressing down the 5th fret of the A string (which would make it a Dmaj7).

So the chord is XX7675. Glad you liked the vid and thanks for the comments. Joe

[Prickford711]

@jpm2u

Awesome, Thanks Joe! I'll be playing this version for a wedding next weekend. Thanks to you it will sound great.

[jpm2u]

@Prickford711

Knock 'em out!

[tenminutemiler]

AWESOME VOICE

[jpm2u]

@tenminutemiler

Oh how I wish, but thanks anyway friend. 

[jpm2u]

The chords in open position are:

Verse: A, E, F#m, A7 then D, Dm, A (and repeat)

Bridge: F#m, D, G, A, then F#m, B, Dm7, A

Link: A, E

Coda: A, E, Dm7.....A then E, A.

I hope this helps and sorry the lesson wasn't as clear as it could have been.

Thanks for the comments and support. Joe

[methesponge]

@jpm2u thanks much ! mark v

[methesponge]

hi

your tutorial is really great. i play the chords at the second fret though so i have troulbe getting the whole thing could you post another one for those of us that play the standard open chords? if not no biggie but i cant master the song and how it fits together and the rythem etc as i cant follow the bar chords as you are going through it. anyway thanks a lot for your effort it is one of my favs on here..

thanks mark v

Sure did....

[agamandri]

thanks for lesson

[jpm2u]

@agamandri

You're welcome, my friend.

[qdn25]

thanks for this great lesson! could you also show the strumming patterns for it?

[jpm2u]

@qdn25

Sorry, about the strumming. On my newer vids, I usually show the right hand. The strumming on this is not that difficult. I don't think I'll be posting the strumming for this any time soon. In the meantime, listen to the song and watch my vid again a few times and try to find something that sounds good for you to play. I spend hours and hours listening to Beatles songs until I find something that is similar to the real song but also something that is a bit me. Good luck. Thanks.

[ohjm]

great lesson, easy to follow... nice voice too. can you send me the tab or chords pls... thank you.

[jpm2u]

@ohjm

Thanks for the kind words. The chords are not that hard and I think you can see them clearly on the vid, but I'll try to send you the chords, okay. Thanks again.

[IcarusIsmArt]

Best Lesson for "In My Life" in YouTube as the song is taught in the actual key instead of a possible G key which is way down by one tone

[jpm2u]

Thanks for the support. Hope you enjoyed.

[jpm2u]

Thanks for the comment.

[iGabe360]

I didn't understand shit

[jpm2u]

[MrViolero]

Hi, yesterday I played on a Mall near to my house, like every other saturday. There was a bunch of people asking for Beatles songs, I only had three or four..., so I said to myself "...time to work", then thanks God I found your tutorial saving  a lot of time. Thank you!
