Don't Bother Me - Take 13 Stereo George Harrison The Beatles

[fullblowngenius]

Takes a certain sensibility to edit like this...filmmaker~E

[delek99]

the bum note makes that solo!:) georges tunes are heart wrenching emotional bags of expressional feelings, the man was an underated genius x

[123ThisIsMe]

Sorry, but I don't believe that this is a genuine rehearsal recording at all.

It is totally authentic with the official release ... just a little tempered with, especially at the beginning ...

[brianallancobb]

Great tune, which I first at age nine or ten (whenever my big brother brought home Meet The Beatles), and it's stuck with me since.

Think George was underutilized.

Like the cut that made it to Meet The Beatles better, but I thank you for the post.

[NanookHawaii]

I don't want to be unkind especially towards George - but I don't feel his singing was especially strong at this point in his career....

[busteroo7]

@NanookHawaii he only needed it perfect once to be timeless

[GraphicalDusso]

nothing bad can be said on the beatles... / lady gaga=too pop, justin bieber=too gay, radio music=too sterial, beatles= too....good.

[Greenbeatriver]

George sings great!!!!

[westfield90]

John was great at guitar.

[gazuaman]

When I fist heard With the Beatles I felt that tgis song was splendid...George was also a great composer but he prefered to be a musician on those early days!

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

@gazuaman  Do you mean to say, then, that being 'a great composer' effectively precludes you from being simultaneously 'a musician' ? John Lennon and Paul McCartney were 'great composers.' Does that mean that they weren't musicians as well?

[gazuaman]

@eggmangoogoogoojoob No, you missed my point. I just stated that he just stood in the shadow.... but he was capable enough to do stuff as great as Lennon and McCartney. Well, maybe not in the same quantity...but he was a talented musician and composer. But on showbusiness we can easily find people who can't do both...

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

@gazuaman  My apologies, and I agree absolutely that George was at least as capable as Lennon and McCartney when it came to writing and he was probably a finer insrumentalist than either of them. Not that I would have the tenerity to question the indisputable genius of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, you understand!

[paulkate72]

Great song from George! Pretty well unknown too - well, by Beatle standards...

[PeasGraveny]

0:24 "It's too fast"

No it's not George.It's perfect.

[CheerJaja]

I love how you can really hear George's voice.

[BryanArwing]

Master Take 13

[sixstringsisenough]

thanks for posting this video

gH rip

you made the world a better place

now heaven gets to sing with you

[ladbrady]

Stuart's Bass was a Hofner, but a different model than the "violin" Hofner Paul is famous for.

[ladbrady]

Paul "borrowed" Stuart's" Rick Bass in beginning. Then Hofner by early 62/late 61. Went back to Rick Bass for Nagical Mystery Tour. Returned to Hofner for White Album on I believe.

Mostly Rick with wings, but by 1989 he wasback to Hofner & there he has stayed (as it should be!!).

[joriszsz]

@ladbrady  Wasn't Sturart's bass a Hofner, I think Paul says that in the anthology… but I'm not sure…

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

@joriszsz  Who's 'Sturart'? Any relation to Sturart Strutcliffe?

[joriszsz]

@eggmangoogoogoojoob ha... ha... very funny... As my comment was 8 months ago I'm not sure what happend... but I probably hit the 'r' by mistake...

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

@joriszsz  I'm genuinely sorry for bringing it up - I suppose it's just my rather picky nature! Cheers, John

[newfful]

i love this song i can lisen to songs like this for 364859585736285263 hours i wish i lived back then but id be devistated hearing goarge and john died i was to young to know what was going on when goarge died

[guitoorbenchi]

@montelee all 3 played Rickenbacker guitars/basses at one point or another.

[legolas35653]

@guitoorbenchi but not together!

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

@guitoorbenchi George plays a Gibson SG on the promotional film for 'Paperback Writer.' They also used a Fender Stratocaster on Sgt Pepper, Lennon often played a Gretsch in the studio and George uses a very rare rosewood Telecaster for the legendary rooftop concert in January 1969. What people don't seem to understand is that a professional musician will try to match the sound and tone of the guitar as is appropriate for the individual recording. 

[4524465]

i love George tanks :)

[wojiaokatya]

lovely rugged a bit off-key and generally amazing - pure sexiness by mr harrison

[GoucheGizmo]

@wojiaokatya i think that makes it even better

[wojiaokatya]

@GoucheGizmo yessss

[ktpinnacle]

And what were we all doing when we were 21 . . . . .

[fullblowngenius]

Heard this song when I was two-and-a-half.....was never the same again.....this is a revelation....THANKS!!!!!!!~E

[kizzunt]

@anyl8ter i agree. only one problem: i don't know why i agree...but i know

you will help. enlighten...

[sonnyandbilly]

I feel ripped off that this track wasnt on Anthology!

[sangell3]

1964 and it was the BEATLES. She Loves You, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. etc. Yet, it is this amazing tune that I remember. George and John are doing it differently but Ringo is 'off tempo' in such an interesting fashion. God's Christmas Present to the World!

[HeatherRawriee]

A gorgeous man with a fantastic voice and a natural talent for song writing. He really is an inspiration to us all :) WE LOVE YOU, GEORGE

[knabein]

@anyl8ter yer right about the trem-both john and george have tremelo on through the vox`s. great tones! question-is george playing his gretch or the futurama?the brightness sounds like a solid body?

[BL80488]

@knabein Probably his Gretsch duo jet

[philhh65]

Favorite song from" Meet The Beatles".

[MySandra58]

THIS SONG IS AWESOME

[rdb96]

also sounds like a little bit of tremolo on one guitar... and they weren't known for using trem... "flying" later had trem. Still killer guitar tones... and altho George dismissed this song right from the start... pretty damn good for a 20 yr old's first effort. His short solo in the middle is a cool little burst of notes.

[westfield90]

I really really wish Apple would release all of these treasures once and for all. Instead they have them guarded like Fort Knox. We've already lost two Beatles so what's the use of holding onto them, open the vaults and release them.

[2142MrJose]

el gran george muybien el sonido de la guitarra su voz y la interpretacion

[luistiant23]

Lennon wrote the guitar riff while in the studio recording Eight Days a Week.[4] "I wrote 'I Feel Fine' around that riff going on in the background," he recalled.[5] "I told them I'd write a song specially for the riff. So they said, 'Yes.

[mihirmaiden18]

george harrison is awesome and my favorite beatle of all time! the first beatles song i learned was one of his tunes ("i feel fine" to be specific).

[TheColts99]

One Of George's Best Songs!

[tooloud1965]

This is the reason why I play the guitar!

Frickin brilliant-great chord progression,

dark tones all around...and the VOX tremelo is SO

GOOD....Hey "pointy headstock guitar players"-this is the REAL DEAL! Listen, and learn-oh and try to play it! HA, thanks for posting.

[spookerz35]

I envy you...I wish I could play on a Ric through a Vox.

[chokonudemail]

yes its his,first ric 325,in the vib channel on his voxac30,treble pick up,tone half

[BeatleBangs1964]

George does an "I Feel Fine" intro more than a year before the Fabs wrote and recorded it.

Way to go, George!

[Rawego]

yep, you spotted it too! great :))

look at my comment 7 months ago...

[Vazmusic]

GH showed a great imagination for chord sequences right from the start. This song's more sophisticated harmonically then some of the J&P pieces. His singing was phrased interestingly on this song as well. To me his chordal approach peaked with Beware Of Darkness . Brilliant sequence.

[youtubbeisshit]

The chords sequence of the main riffs is B,a,G,e

[Vazmusic]

If any guitarists out there are wondering about Lennon's guitar sound on this. ... I once had the opportunity to play Lennon's Casino back in the 70's. The gtr had the dirtiest, oldest strings I've ever played. I think his habit of leaving them on 4 a long time is responsible for his sound. very dead, dull. 1st Plastic Ono LP, Get Back.. His trademark. A dull sound I love it!

[Grzz51]

If you check you'll see that the song was recorded in September of 1963 and John and George bought their '65 Casino's in 1966. So, I imagine John was using his Rick on this song.

[marvy1118]

This sounds like surf music! If you took the vocal out completely it would sound just like the Ventures.

[catchersmitt0]

OMG look how young they looked.

[IdolHans]

He wrote this because he was sick in bed. I need to learn the opening chords. Harrison was the best.

[gpietsch]

D / Em7 D Em / . Will that do?

[whotles]

Is John just playing one or two strings? And is George just holding chords for ever measure?

[misformayhem]

To all of the Brits who think that they had it TOUGH...(back in the DAY)...

I remember this song growing up in Los Angeles from '63 - '71...

I grew up in Barrio Keystone...

[Rawego]

can you hear the "I Feel Fine" riff in there? sort of :))

[sunriseRISE]

poss because its JOHN LENNON WHOs DOING ALL THE LEAD /ELECTRIC GTR BITS

[Rawego]

like they say, "what's love got to do with it" :))

[catchersmitt0]

interesting....  at what time mark?

[Rawego]

well the first time is right at the onset after "take 4...". just listen to the riff from 'I Feel Fine' then to this song. you'll swear that one is based on the other or vice versa. i just hear it throughout this one although they are completely different songs...

[RickmalR]

Thanks for the wonderful music George. You were an integral part of the greatest pop group that the world will ever see. RIP

[facundozxt]

@RickmalR cual pop pelotudo,es,,rock and roll,,,,,,el pop es mover el poto como madonna o shakira

[JP5466]

Take 13 is the actual track that was used on the LP. This is the raw track without the lead vocal overdub, bongos and the claves.

[schuyler10]

I love this friggin' song...one must rememember that it was released double-tracked, probably a result of George struggling through the song, which he seems to be doing in all the alternate versions that I've heard here...

[saintsaens888]

a very upbeat yet emotional song. very beautiful. it's a stigma you can only get from the beatles

[RonaldVaughan]

Are you the same person/aware of HVS?

Those sites also give great remixes!!

BTW, this was actually a bossa nova riff!

[kapute]

at 1:21 the girl says; "I swear I fuckin... love them"

[joshhodg]

I saw it too.

[citybeat60]

I love the hysterical girl footage. I can only imagine myself if I had been in the audience, I'd be going insane over the Beatles too!

[nedthebed07]

Thanks, lovely to hear this, a treasure.
