Justin your performances are just going from strength to strength - one of the best vocals you've done! Bravo!

[jonathancomer]

"Effing in his C chord land!" - done that many times 😁

[emilelesaffre]

With the new mix that came out, I just re-discovered the song. Thank you, Justin!

[doobiz]

Instead of doing the weird B position to hit the open high E note, you can use your pinky on the E note 5th fret of the 2nd string.

Hi Justin super gespielt und gesungen.
Vielen Dank
Grüße aus Deutschland

[donnyt]

Was just thinking of learning this song a few days ago. Thank you, Sir 😊.

[domr]

Really enjoying your new format of lessons and love the Beatles 👏

[tristanwojtas]

Crazy how I now look to Justin's versions to play the song the right way but he's often better vocally than these older artists

[CyrilDias-zgqg]

Thanks mate just great to grapple on with your renditions, keep going and take care Jesus loves you for what you are doing.

[mrtcfuzzyfurer]

Love the sound of that guitar, what is it? What pedals you running it through?

[wilfredscherpenzeel]

This is exactly the right song for your voice…

Great stuff thanks buddy but I'll stick to the Beatles way at the end lol. Cheers.

Agree with commenter ‘variousthings6470' about capo at fret 2 on the original recording. Lennon's guitar has capo at fret 2.
They don't use capos on live versions. Most likely to make it easier to sing.
Often times they tuned down in that regard. The Washington DC live show has the instruments tuned down a half step or whole step. Can’t remember which it is.

[variousthings]

Regarding the capo position: the consensus seems to be that the original song was played with a capo on the 2nd fret.

At least, that's what's done in the YouTube performances by Michael Sokil, Mattiboo, and Sam Popkin. (Plus, it's also what my copy of the Red Album tab book says!)

But personally, I usually play it without the capo at all.

Curious - what pickup system do you have in that guitar? Great lesson!

[HOUSEDOMEFUNKofficial]

Lovin' g sharp minor... to the a, here, to g sharp minor to f... please A chord, f-sharp minor to B! dude- I love it, i can only think this way, now- cheers, m8! hope to shake your hand one day

[Bigmanweeman]

Hi Justin.I’ve been messing about with a guitar for a while and know a few chords.I have your books .Whats your best course for an advanced beginner?

[jondennington]

You are missing the most important part of the instrumental and that is the harmonic at the end!?

[guycerulli]

I think the riff is triplets, not sixteenths.
