The Beatles - I'm Only Sleeping | guitar lesson
If you find my videos useful, please consider supporting me at Patreon:

These videos are designed for guitar beginners or those with only limited guitar knowledge. They use simple chord shapes as much as possible and do not necessarily represent the way in which the song was originally played. They are designed as practice tools to supplement your other learning methods. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players!

I'm Only Sleeping is played with a swung rhythm and features fairly quick and smooth chord changes. The original song has the acoustic guitar(s) tuned a half-step down, but I've kept this in standard tuning.

Your level of commitment to making things easily digestible for beginners is admirable, and your lessons take a fraction of the time most do simply because you don't make more than half of the video a casual chat about the material... which is usually a HUGE distraction. Well done!

Why does an upstroke on a Em sound so magical?

[dnn]

Yeah, finally a channel focused in left handed guitarists, thank you so much, now I'm going to learn all Beatles themes of your channel! <3

[Xcorgi]

It’s so awesome 😎 you have both the left and right handed chord tablature on the video so no one gets left out. Thanks 🙏 so much for posting this. It’ll make my Beatles cover songs so much easier to learn!

[luchocampuzano]

Straight up approach with all the visual resources needed. Thank you, I will be visiting your channel regularly.

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)

Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need (There's no need)

Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling...

Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping

Ooh yeah

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)

Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping

[ashdeen]

[TheMuratefe]

wonderful one as a lesson, so helpful! thank you sir, you just got a new subscriber.

[slimeball]

You made it so easy to learn. Thank you!

[VANTYCSolutions]

Thank you now I can play this amazing song 🙏

[steveblacktunes]

Beautifully played! I actually have a cover of this song too as well as tons of videos extracting John Lennon's parts

[dixitpuri]

sir, how can i get background music you play along guitar?

[laurastevens]

Thanks for the video. Funny thing - I play left handed too, but it was weird to watch a lefty play. I find it easier to track righties for learning new songs.

👍🎸✌️🙏🏼
Cool stuff. Worked at Capitol (Hollywood/Vine)…
1750/10th floor
14 years.

Know Beatles, their catalog song/cues, and some covers but never reviewed this chart (one of my favs, 🤔I know right?!? 👀), and never reviewed. Until now.

Great Lennon cue/song to have in any Beatles/Lennon repertoire. …

Honored to play/perform these songs WHICH are still great today, for the world of tomorrow and always for the performer/artist/songwriter- today, yesteryear ++++… and [?]

before my time. Yup.
Does it matter? Nope.

Great songs last forever.
✌️🎸👍🎸✌️

Je progresse trop contente , pour ta guitare .

[emzee]

I think the Am / Bm thing is actually Am7 / Bm7

[Mike_B.]

It sounds beautiful!!!
what guitar is that
And what strings did you use?

[andreadigiuseppe]

Bro I think at 1:32 it's Dm Em Am and Fmaj7
Then the verse is not an E7 but an Em
