In the 80's there was a journalist who stated,if you want to know anything about the beatles ask george: john is dead, ringo doesnt remember anything and paul keeps changing everything ...

@@marcuszc3172 When you've lived a life as full on and exciting as McCartney, it must be quite easy to get a memory overload and muddle up your timelines. I've lived a fairly ordinary life and I couldn't point out with any certainty things that I experienced forty or fifty years ago. Not many people have photographic memories, not even a Beatle. Give the guy a break.

McCartney often mixes up dates when retelling his stories Chris, we’ll let you off 🥴

McCartney has said in other interviews that it was John Mayall that encouraged him to buy a hollow body.

Exactly was about to say. John Mayall gave him the advice to acquire a hollow body. And it was John who came up with feedback with his j160e leaned against an amp to use it for I Feel Fine

Oddly enough, I heard that it was their manager Brian Epstein who gave them the Epiphone Casino's because they were loud enough to be heard while practicing and composing without having to be amplified. Then they could play on stage using amplifiers so that they could play using the same guitars they used when practicing their songs.

They did not write...they were a boy band singing and covering songs other have made for them.

@@kongmik Sure Michael.

@@kongmik Ugh

@@kongmik Are you Michael Nesmith?

Perfect licks and vibes to show off what the Casino has hidden behind it's jazzy looks.

It is. Andy Timmons does a take on it from his 2011 album 'Andy Timmons Band Plays Sgt Pepper'. See link below. If you're not familiar with him, you're missing an amazing talent. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aM94qtSdu8-dp3k.html

@@ronbeal9852 That was "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!". I checked Discogs, and the only non-Pepper song on his tribute album is "Strawberry Fields Forever". However, I do agree that Timmons is a wonderful player worth checking out.

I really want to know what Chris is using to get that nasally sound.. Sound amazing as always!

Last song Beatles recorded.

Those AKG mics they started using when they went to Apple were really cool looking

Not started it yet but going of the long trailers I've seen I got the same vibe, seeing them behaving in the same way we all do in bands, bouncing ideas off each other & generally having fun

Cool, waaay cool.

Like unboxing a brand new leslie speaker and fender piano!

@@remirussin7240 they built 🍏 didn't go there

It's really odd if you think about it. The Beatles were are not remembered by the average music fan as being incredible players, but more for writing and recording great songs, because they became so big and broke up before they were 30. For a band that big there is not much live video of them and of course a full concert was 10 songs that took 45 minutes. But these guys were great players, and that's what I love about the new video that we now have of them in the studio. Revolution, heater skelter, she's so heavy, and those songs were moving music into the 70s and beyond.

James Donnelly. My thoughts exactly...said by you better than I could. Cool. Chris does an excellent, informative and exciting presentation.

Jealous

Brian Nordt, you are exactly correct!! Had one, in 1972, sunburst, but no white pickguard with that "pitchfork E" on it. Sounded & played great, after I changed the strings. Had to let it go, unfortunately. Went back to playing my sunburst '68 ES335. Wish I still had the Casino..and the 335. Swapped it for..ughh..an Ibanez Les Paul Custom copy..nice guitar, but has a bolt-on neck. Live & learn!

I do, however, own 2 Kalamazoo-made Epiphone acoustics...a Texan and an El Dorado. Both are wonderful-sounding & playing flat-top steel-string acoustics! Made in mid-60's..The Texan, which had some work done to it, like fret replacement, new bridge & saddle, and body crack repair. The El Dorado has also new frets replaced. Plays a little better in tune, still had that adjustable, steep-angle ceramic saddle insert, but sounds just great!

@@Annie-zd7mx Hi..Neat, unique, different solidbodies! Never had a chance to play one. Did play one of those fancy solid Crestwood DeLuxe guitars with the 3 small Humbuckings..very nice. All of those are collectable.

I heard the first thing Lennon did to his epi was sand the varnish off of it. for more tone.

@Pollywog clearly says ”10 hours every weekend”

Being a youtuber is a modern version of 'making it'. No agent needed

Yup. It was John Mayall of the Blues Breakers that inspired McCartney to get a casino and then George and John got theirs.

I believe his first London gig he opened with Sgt. Pepper’s lead track, which had only been released a couple of days before. So that would be early June of '67.

@@jmad627 but he started in England in 66

exactly bad info

@@BarryWarne Could have been Keith Richards too (he was using a Casino and was close to the Beatles)

True. Because he's so melodic

Sir, you need to know that 90% of a guitar's tone comes from the fingers.

This is true but gear being used is not irrelevant. If that was the case BB King shoulda coulda played an Ibanez with EMG pickups through a Mesa? The gear is important whether it's very basic or complex a true artist knows what ultimately works best in their musical endeavor.

That intro uses an overdrive pedal, or it's played with the gain turned up. Fingers yeah, but with overdrive too.

@@mt-nv4jd the tone comes from the guitar and amp. The fingers just fluctuate it

@@mt-nv4jd that's an old cliche. None of it comes from your fingers your guitar and amp is what makes the sounds. Your hands and fingers just fluctuate it. Of course we could do a test I jam with you and I use my burst and dumble and you use a teisco and a checkmate. Then let's see your fingers pull off that 90 percent.

Was just going to mention that RayDandy, and you are quite correct. Chas Chandler Bass Guitarist in The Animals is responsible for getting Hendrix over to the UK & becoming his Manager, finding Mitch Mitchell & Noel Redding to form The Experience.

@@ilovesmysangsomsangsom3500 If a made for cable television documentary that explored the circumstances of Jimi Hendrix's death can be believed, management of Jimi and The Experience, in the person of Michael Jeffery, was so fueled by avarice that when Mitchell and Redding were supposed to go pal around with members of the Rolling Stones, they had to ask like sullen teenagers for some spending money. They were given fifty bucks each and a pat on the head. Yikes.

Isn't it true that The Beatles had already been to the US and NYC and could've heard a Hendrix live performance in 1964?

That bit hit a sour chord for me, too. I agree with you that isn't how it happened. I also wonder how Paul's bass playing may have played some role. I mean, the electric bass was a fairly new instrument at the time Paul picks it up. A lot of his (and other bass pioneers) innovations came about because of that.

Hell yeah you beat me to it, man😂 both are legends anyway

Hey, that’s great! I watch both of your vids! You both play incredibly well. (and I’m a 64 yr old, life long guitarist/builder/ restore/repair guy!) You both produce excellent quality vids. Peace

Guitar Ninja. Very well said. I too appreciate the detail with which Chris plays this Beatles material! As a drummer, I would enjoy learning and playing a song and playing the drums exactly as on record. I then would physically FEEL what the drummer was doing! How my body felt doing particular fills etc. Feeling, how a song was built. Trying to squeeze everything I could out of a track. Later on add my own twist to a song. Chris's guitar playing grabs me with similar feeling with which I first heard these extraordinary songs back in the sixties.! I have zero desire to play guitar but I love finally seeing how these songs were actually played. Chris's playing feels like a fantastic extension of my actual Beatles experience and understanding...all these years later! And that, is Cool.!

John didn't play Revolution with a capo.

@@davism5 And he didn't wear that same shirt either.

what song is that at the begining?

@@frederikdemant4647 it is a Beatles song. 'I want you (she's so heavy)' from Abbey Road
