No one can succeed like Mike Pachelli

no one does beatles lessons like you mike!

Mike, I'm older than you. I used to sit in our living room for hours, lifting the needle and re-playing, lifting the needle and re-playing guitar parts on the records MILLIONS of times, trying to learn the parts, and occasionally would actually get close. I can see that that would NEVER have worked for tunes like this one and many others. Thank you for doing such a great job of unraveling Beatles magic.

Mike, without you how would I know how to play so many of these beatles classics accurately? I love the lessons, they're what guitar playing SHOULD be all about.

Man I'm 65, I love your videos, especially the Beatles ones, I bought a new Gibson 50's Ebony J45 at 3am this morning.

Another great video. What an astonishing album Revolver is and more than stands the test of time. Still sounds very contemporary today.

Thank you very much young man. I'm an old French Beatles fan who's nearly 77 and I've been trying to work out how the guitar parts of this song are constructed for almost 60 years. Thanks to you I've finally figured it out! Congratulations on your remarkable work and your enthusiasm! The Beatles are eternal. May their fans be too !

A recent review of the new Revolver boxed set called Doctor Robert "the weakest track on the album." I couldn't believe that! it's always been a favorite of mine, and I wish they had released it with the ending jam. Thanks for a great lesson!

I LOVE this song. Any band would call it a career with it but for JPGR it was one of hundreds. Thank you Mike!

Mike, I could listen to play all day buddy. I started playing back in 1963 or so after listening to this new band called The Beatles. My friend played much better than me at the time, so he helped lead me into a lot of what I was playing and what I would be playing for a long time after that. I made most of my money through Jr and Hs playing at school dances with a few different bands, nothing big, just mostly for fun. After the Army it killed any hopes of me getting any bigger, I just wish I had kept it up. Now I have my three part retirement and have the money I need to buy whatever I want. Ive got 8 guitars and four amps but still playing alone in my basement! Now I’m 72 and have a lot of retreats about not playing more and in depth. I just wish I’d taken the right and proper lessons. Please don’t make the mistakes that I did!!!

Thanks Mike . Yes 3 Guitars is the key to this song I never knew. . To me This era was the Beatles at their best as a Lennon led Guitar band. ( Help- Rubber Soul -Revolver ) George one of the best ever at filling out songs without taking them over. Paul's Bass playing was also getting much more complicated. John was a outstanding rhythm Guitarist . He never gets the credit he should. Mike I needed these videos 40 years ago when I started .A big Thank you from your viewers including me.

Mike, this is a great lesson. I appreciate the song so much more after seeing you break it down. Great Harrison picking in there. Thanks!

It just makes me smile every time I see a new ‘Mike’ Beatles song. I’ve been particularly waiting for this one! Thanks Mike.

Amazing talent, Mike! You're the best!

Weirdest thing. Woke up on the 30th with this song in my head. Not even a big favorite but there it was in my head AND there was a notification that you were teaching it. Great lesson, thank-you.

This was always a great song. Pure early Beatles. Should have been longer.

Excellent Mike. I love Beatles 'parts.' They were a great instrumental quartet behind the perhaps the best pop singers in rock history. Thanks for the breakdown.

so hard to believe we are currently old and crazy how the 56 year old smashing tune still feels fresh and still fires on all 12 cylinders , i still recall like it was just last week figuring out this tune and being the neighborhood hero for a week lol .... great Job Mr Pachelli !!

Ring my friend I said you’d call MIKE PACHELLI

Wow fantastic lesson. Always loved Dr Robert. Especially love the rocking back n fourth from the I7 to IVsus move. Also, Didn’t realize how simple George’s single note part is and how the chord progression just wouldn’t sound as cool w/o it. Thanks mate! Oh n ur sound-alike track is stellar. Big up

Hi Mike. I've been playing guitar for 50+ years. Amazing that I can still learn more by watching your lesson. There must be extra room in my brain as I get older. I have more space to fill Mike. Love your Lessons.

Thanks for all your great videos

This is like archeolocgy, instead of anthology. So wonderful, +50 years later, you could see these brilliant tunes come to life again.

Amazing lesson! Greetings from Brazil

I already knew how good Mike was, since I had heard some of his other work on the syndicated Blues Deluxe radio show!

Absolutely and totally brilliant Mike. Thank you

Put all that together and out comes the magic - great job as usual Mike

Love this song. One of my fav non-hit Beatles.

Mike- wow, can only imagine how long it took to decode these parts. Thank you for doing it. Invaluable to all us Beatles lovers. Hope u r feeling better!!

Sounds better than Beatles! Awesome work as always, Mike! Love your lessons

After 55 years,never gets old

Hi Mike, fantastic job on this. When I was learning to play guitar like almost everyone else I started with the Beatles. Now, almost 60 years later I'm still at it. I think those two albums Rubber Soul and Revolver was/is my favorite era. Still carrying the "guitar" music genre a little edgier than what other bands were doing. Thanks for reviving this and all the other songs. I love your playing, doing it the correct way.

Another detailed and thorough guide. Thanks heaps!

always look forward to these tutorials, cant say enough about how great they are! thanks !

Thanks Mike, for all the hard work that goes into your presentations. So well done.

Another brilliant song, perfectly analysed. Well done Mike. You are the best at this. Graham, Cornwall.

One of my fav Beatles songs! Thanks for breaking it down. Love your channel!

What a great video! Not just the chords, but the whole package, thank you, Mike!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU--this has always been my favorite on Revolver, and, in my opinion, one of their most timeless rock tunes. Just so good, thanks again!

I could have used this channel 40 years ago thank for all the great songs Mike.

Man oh man! Another great lesson and performance. I listen to your version of the songs more than the real thing.

Outstanding - as usual. Thank you Mike!

Mike, admit it. You're a shape shifter and were the proverbial 'fly on the wall' during the recording sessions. Thanks for your incredible break downs. At this point, I think I'd trust your analysis more than surviving members memories! But seriously, anyone who hasn't spent time to reproduce an accurate rendention of even a single instrument wouldn't appreciate the hours or days to deconstruct a recording. Mike, you're a musician and have a lot invested in studio, equipment and instruments. But if you said it took you 100 hours to produce this instructive, 18 minute video of a simpler Beatle tune I'd say "That fast! ". Frankly, however long it took is amazing simply for the accuracy!

Perfect! Congratulations, Mike!

Absolutely fantastic Mike .Thank you

That’s brilliant Mike as always. Such an accurate breakdown. I met Ken Townsend at Abbey Road in August 2019 and personally thanked him for ADT! He was such a lovely guy to talk to.

Hi Mike. I still watch every single song that you display. Unfortunately, my my health (MS) has kicked in and I'm having a lot of trouble remembering all and any new ifo. I love you for loving The Beatles.

So glad I found this channel!

Mike I love your tutorials, a proper Beatles fan always with a factual story to add per the song 👌

Love your playing and teaching .. few years back I picked up Blackbird from you off the Gibson website and since then was able to show a handful of friends the proper way to play that fine song. Helped moved my playing forward as well after a very long break from guitar. Thank you Mike very cool man!

Love your back stories. I've been a lifelong Beatles fan, but learn new info with each of your videos!

Really excellent as usual 👍👍👍

really accurate version, as usual 👌🏻

Fantastic! Thank you Mike.

excellent was just listening to this song this morning

Great work you do..I looove th Beatles

Always on top, Mike!!!😊

Great breakdown, Mike- and your Cover at the end is just so fantastic it made me smile and laugh (with joy) at the same time! I think there still is a "5th Beatle" - You. I was born in '48 and segued from Doo-Wop & The Four Seasons to The Beatles in '64 and never looked back. Hope you are doing well, Brother. Look forward anxiously to your next fabulous production and lesson.

Good to see ya again Mike!! Remember when you were on TV back in Tampa! Great lesson too!! Dave.

Love the tracks you pick! Good job! Thanks…

Thanks Mike! A Winner Every Time!!! 🎸🎼💥

Love a Mike P. lesson. I'd really dig him giving a lesson on a Chrissie Hynde-Jimmy Scott thing like "Kid," etc. I must say.

Mike you're awesome! Thank you very much 😊

Perfect, as usual! 👍

Nie tak dawno odkryłem Twoją stronę, Mike i już tu zostałem. Uwielbiam patrzeć, jak rozbierasz piosenki Beatlesów na czynniki pierwsze. Z Twoich lekcji można dowiedzieć się, w jaki sposób powstawały te wspaniałe nagrania. Na koniec lekcji prezentujesz piosenki w całości. Brzmią fantastycznie, tak realnie. Niesamowite!!! Jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Wrocław/Polska

Excellent. Thanks Mike!

Awesome once again!

Mike, I love each and every aspect you provide on the Beatles songs. Very well done, educational and entertaining. I always suggest your site to Beatles fans who have performance questions. ( I'm the JL for a Beatles tribute group as well.) Keep it up as you are greatly appreciated!

Wow...good job... really enjoyed this one too.🤠

Your channel has helped me to understand John Lennon’s genius as a guitar player.

Very good. No bull. Straight up excellent muso thanks 🙏

Let's have some likes, folks! 🙂 Beautiful SG, btw Mike; I had one just like it! Miss it!

Incredible video - great work

H i Mike, considering the many layered guitar parts, it,s no wonder they never dared play this one live, it would have missed many textures to it, . Oustanding deciphering from you, You are an ACE. Cheers

Sorry to hear you're not feeling to well Mike, hope you get over this funk soon and thanks for another great lesson!

GREAT work!! Love your vids, making me drag out the epiphone again!

As insightful as we have come to expect. Musically this song (and the period generally) is fascinating. They were clearly moving away from conventional pop arrangements - is there something in George's parts of an Indian influence perhaps? And his first part is almost like a bass part played an octave higher than usual. It would be great to have an contemporary interview with them about what they were doing from a musical point of view although they were not necessarily the most articulate when it came to explaining technical matters. Certainly living through this was quite something - each new album or even each new track seemed both slightly odd but oddly brilliant and now years later, Mike and others like Alan W. Pollack reveal the brilliant truth.

Ten out of ten, A1, top banana. Thank you Mike.

One of my favorite Beatle songs.

Mike- Another good one. One of my favorites. Hope you're enjoying your new digs. Nashville is the same.

Thanks again for your meticulous work.

Awesome job as usual!🙂

I've probably listened to this song hundreds of times but never really noticed Georges' simple backing part.

1966... What an incredible year of music for all genre's of music..

Fantastic Mike, just brilliant! Could I request Hey Bulldog?

Loved it Cheers

I now can't think of this song without thinking about my (and Mitch's) friend, Dave Leon's "Dr Fauci" that he put out a while ago. Dave was the John to Mitch's Paul in the Beatlemania movie (as well as one of the LA casts of the show). but, up until then this was one of my favorite tracks from Revolver. hell, EVERY track on Revolver was great and I don't think I skipped a song on it ever!

Love that SG. My father bought me that guitar in 1970/71.

What a good explanation... thank you

This is a standout on the remixed Revolver and yeah Take 7 version is sensationally buzzy and sounds so fresh. Great lesson, thanks.

Great job!

Great sound alike Mike, cant wait to get into the lesson. Any plans to do a 'I'm Looking Through You' lesson anytime soon? Cheers!

Great lesson!

Thanks for this great lesson and making of ( Danke , ich als "alter " Beatles fan bin begeistert ) LG aus der Steiermark ( Styria / Austria ) Werner

So great!

Well Well Well I'm feeling fine Well Well Well this blew my mind. Doctor Mike!

George didn't do much. But, the song just wouldn't have hooked me without him.

Mike - would love to see you pick a song (like this one perhaps) and do a deep dive on the recording process for your sound alikes - how you arrange, what order you record in, equipment, setup, takes, mixing / post production, etc…strictly for nerds.

Interesting. I'd really enjoy hearing the longer version with extended guitar solo, etc. In any case, this is one of their very best songs.

Well, there's another song I can't play ... but thanks for trying to teach me. Cool song and impressive sound alike!
