  • Nice!

  • wow subscribed!

  • I absolutely loved every minute of it. You are a star!

    

  • You managed to sound like both Lennon AND McCartney. Impressive!

  • Fantastic job..Good playing, good vocals, well recorded, mixed and produced video. Thanks for posting. More please....

  • Ahhhhh

  • 1:12 dude I can't get to that friggen tone!! dammit!

  • BRILLIANT!

  • that b minor is so hard to transition into

  • @rockerduff1231 just play the song lotsa times and you'll learn it easily :D

    Luck

  • @rockerduff1231 practice.. start buy landing it like a bar chord and only play the top then ur fingers will get used to it and ull start landing the middle finger.

  • Heeey, really nice cover. Your voice suits this songs pertectly. Would you mind telling me the model of your guitar?

  • @holzmannralph Martin DC-16RGTE Aura

  • Amazing cover. I favored it. This has to be one of the best (if not THE best) covers I have heard!

  • You just found yourself another subscriber. :) This is my favorite Beatles song, (hard to pick a favorite, but I've finally done it).

    Anyways, you covered it amazingly. I'm tryin' to learn this song, but I've only been playing guitar for two summers.

    Stunning.(:

  • That was just amazing! You are so talented. Listen to your sister and sing your butt off! Just get it recorded and posted here though for us to enjoy.

  • you are the shit...not you are shit ..but the shit...frigging brilliant my son....perfect voice for beatles song...thanks michele for making this happen

  • your voice!!! it's amazing! great cover

  • Wow Thank you for this yeah!!!

  • I was more than a bit apprehensive about clicking play, but I needn't have been - that was excellent. No dead Beatles will be turning in their graves, and the live ones won't sue.

  • WOW! Superbly done, Mike. Not an easy song to cover by one's self. Kudos to your sister for prompting you.

  • UNREAL VOICE :O. amazing!!

  • Amazing voice─

  • genial

    

  • During the phase of "I want to turn, you, on,..." What chords or drop down notes are you hitting? You do a great job on this secrion of the song. Basic chord and then the individual strings and frets or notes would be a welcome answer. If you don't reply that's OK. It will just take me longer to figure it out. A close up of your fingers at that point would be really easy to grab.

  • Very good work!The Paul's part is kinda fast but it's very well!

  • Nice voice. Guitar is a little simple, but nice job either way. :)

  • @ChlorineHeart Thanks. But to be fair, Lennon's guitar part was even simpler than what I'm playing.

  • @mikemassedotcom so true..

  • @mikemassedotcom LOL don't listen to @ChlorineHeart - You nailed it brother. And you're right the original guitar is much simpler. You kept it close to the orig and your voice is spot on. Throw an English accent and you couldn't tell the difference. Nice job.

  • @mikemassedotcom Pure Class

  • @ChlorineHeart "Guitar is a little simple" ???? Are you kidding me with that comment?  You watch this and the only thing that comes to mind is making a comment about his guitar playing? Well I guess there is that free speech thing....so here is me exercising my right as well..... something tells me there is something about you that is a "little simple" as well.

  • I watched MANY covers of MANY songs on YouTube, and this is probably in the top 10. Very good job, those perfectly tuned "aaaaaaah" impressed me. Your voice is perfect for Beatles' songs, also.

  • Brilliant Cover.

  • Good job! The Beatles rule! Hey Mike...and to all those watching this video, who are clearly Beatles fans, help my folk rock band, Cast Iron Shore, get views with our originals and covers (two beatles songs), and subscribe to our page here on youtube....it helps us grow a fan base on "whooznxt.com, and therefore help us earn a big time gig. Be our friend...don't make me beg.

  • awesome cover!! i loved it:))

  • holy shit, amazing cover. i opened another tab on my computer and thought i was actually listening to the original song!!!!!! 5 stars.

  • You, sir, have won the internets tonight. And my subscription too. I <3 YOU

  • John Lennon himself would be impressed. RIP and fuck that undercover agent who killed him for getting involved with political power around the world. The answer to 1984 is 1776. Infowars.com

  • ohhhhhhh god i think i jizzed no homo

  • Where the fuck are The Beatles hidden in the video??!

    Fuck !! Such perfect vocals !

    Respect man seriously *hats off*

  • Jesus fuck christ... My brain just melted. It was awesome.

    This is a fantastic cover!

  • best cover ive ever heard in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! god damn thats so much awesomenss for one man

  • AGT - get on that show !!!

  • When you started singing I thought you were Lennon.

    NICE VOICE! :)

  • Not a lot of people can cover the beatles successfully, but damn. You are part of the group that can

  • Great Job Man.... Check out Chris Cornell at the Keswick 4/10/11 doing this acoustic, I saw it live.. I think he stole it from you!!.. He does a cool slide thing after the "I love to turn you on" part.. I play this out now too and people love it!!

  • I really love this one. Well done!

  • u sir... have my suscription

  • indredible! wonderful!!

  • 見た目によらずってこの事!

  • I clicked on this video not expecting it to be this outrageously good. My mind was blown.

  • First time I heard your voice I was like "WTF??" Great, anyway.

  • Thanks, now I know a good way to play that middle eight (if that's what it's called), thanks

  • wow that unexpecting..good job

  • I though you might have started in too high a register, but you nailed it.

    Nice and clean cover, with a nice tempo increase in the final verses.

    Thanks for posting - I can play, but I wish I could sing!

  • OUTSTANDING! This is so, so good! It's the best version, without the rather annoying overdose of instruments by the Beattles, this is how it should be.

  • greatest cover i've ever seen!

  • Very impressive, just perfect. Congratulations !!

  • Great perfomance, really good arrangement of, what to me is one of Lennon's best songs, haunting, timeless, well done.

  • Ese crujir tan quejoso en su voz me molesta... lo hace al principio de cada frase.

    Es realmente necesario eso?? Que desagradable.

    Mi opinion :D buena cancion, y eres afinado.

  • Wow unexpected voice for the face lol great rhythm and nicely adapted mini crescendo

  • replay button again and again...

  • Wow, a real acoustic performance. Excellent.

  • Wonderfull! Thank you for this video! It's just amazing!

  • amazing man, wow

  • WOW, just love that song even more now, really really brilliant, well done, im a massive fan of beatles so i was wanting to hate this but i really loved it

  • very nice, especially the high notes

  • Awesome..... Great interpretation.

  • Breath taking!!! D:

  • Best cover on youtube...

    It's amazing... awesome...

  • how does this only have 83,000 views?!?! this guys amazing

  • Great!!

  • great version of a great a tune!

  • Mike, Your voice is amazing and as a former disc jockey, it is one of the best I have ever heard. Salt Lake City is lucky to have you in its backyard. You are tremendous!!

  • Just..wow! Simply amazing, man! It inspires me to go ahead and finally learn to play the guitar just so I can learn to play this song! <3

  • the best cover of this song!! in the world!! :))

  • Phenomenal!

  • Mike I have to tell you.This is a great cover .This is how this song should be played. There are those here on youtube that have covers of this song with all sorts of electronica and so forth.To me however there is nothing worse than an overproduced song. Well done

  • will someone pleaseee check out my beatles cover? It seriously took me so long to make. It would be greatly appreciated!

  • can u please show us the tabs where u got them from, or post it somewhere especially for the interlude! great cover by the way

  • @silentrami Try going to ultimate guitar .com for A Day In the Life chords

  • Are you using a C/G or just a regular C (third chord from the beginning)?

  • Outstanding! And yes, YouTube does have a tendency to generate an over-compressed, over-damped sound, almost like a slinky.

  • clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

    XD AMAZING COVER

  • ............WoW ! Gratest cover in Youtube !

  • You are my favorite person on the planet at this moment!

  • when i see your face, i dont think you sound like this =)) Amazing cover

  • definetly the best cover,your name should be john mcartney,,,,,,or paul lennon would work too

  • WHY JUST 7900 VIEWS?

  • Mikey..............Outstanding­, I do this a little different, but man, you voice has it all....bravo :0)

    

  • Unexpected but amazing voice =)

  • Your voice was a mixture of Jesus and Fergie and at some point you took form of a unicorn
