Organ intro for "With a little help from my friends", Joe Cocker Live version.

This is quick+dirty, sloppy playing with a couple of mistakes, and doesn't do a great song justice. Nonetheless I hope it's useful to figure out how to play it.
This intro lives from the trills and grace notes, but I was too busy trying to remember the melody while filming. Please do check the original, it's a couple easy extra notes that make a huge difference.

  • magnificient!

  • I Need Notes!!!

  • Is there any way you can post this again but slow so those of us that are not as good can learn and enjoy playing!

  • When I was a kid watching the show Wonder Years on tv I always thought to myself, damn this is like the best theme song ever.....

  • Excellent! I think this is the best version there is. I've been trying to learn it on my own but haven't finished yet, I'm on 0:42. Now I've just found your video and it's very good. Thanks for posting it. It'll be very helpfull. I'm trascribing the song into Guitarpro software so if anyone wants to help me or wants what I have so far. mail me at chanchofbp at hotmail.

  • mnentwig, OH MY gosh, I'm 53 years old and this song he did at wood stock was the ultimate! I actually went there on my way to live in Texas 11 years ago. I just got a ROLAND EP-7 and this is the first song I'm going to memorize. I used to play back when I was a teen but never read music. Your video is going to be my teacher. Thank you sincerely for doing the video, it looks great and I understand what you mean when you said the little notes make it all. Thank you again..Dave in Dallas

  • Yeah you've nailed this with soul & emotion. Great.

  • Outstanding !!! I've been goofing around with this on and off for a couple weeks and I was trying to make much more of it than necessary. Really brings life to the saying less is more. I've watched a few of your videos and admire just how good you are. Guitar has been my main stay and now I'm tring to learn as much as I can on keys. Peace -jim now a subscriber :)

  • i have to agree with you on that one, all though i LOVE the beatles

  • I got the first 20 seconds already ... and there got lost for the moment :(
