The Beatles 'Something' Lesson by Mike Pachelli

Here's a lesson on the guitar parts played by George Harrison on this classic song from the Abbey Road album.

Oops - After working on this lesson for nearly two weeks I did a GOOGLE search to insert a photo of Chris Thomas. A photo of Phil Spector appeared. I should've caught that. Sorry, my mistake.

I know the focus is on George with this song but it still baffles me how four young men in the space of what 8 years (62 - 70) went from knowing a handful of chords each to the accomplished musicians and songwriters we know. Astonishing advancement.

Beatlemania is alive & well at Mikes studio! These lessons are beyond great, you are not only the greatest instructor, you love the Beatles still, like we all do... Many Thanks.

Mike is the best. I have bought some of his tabs from his website. He explains everything in detail like no other.

Mike, you are truly incredible! Thank you for another brilliant lesson.

This has always been one of my favourite Beatles songs, definitely one of George’s best contributions to the band and there’s a reason people say it’s one of the greatest love songs of all time. Great lesson as always, Mike

Back in the day most bands never attempted Something because of all the naughty chords. We played it every night, patrons loved it. Figuring the damn thing out was a bitch but we got it close. It looks like it's still fighting back. Thank you!

Mike, I love your lessons because they are a mix of music history and great in depth song walkthroughs. You are the go to guy for anything Beatles. Thank you so much for these.

It is beyond me how you work all this out but I am so happy you can, I love it and am in absolute awe. Thanks

[arthurhyde]

Mike -- I keep coming back to your lessons. Modern classical music described lovingly by a master.

[tristonsummers]

You’re the man Mike! Wish i could come to France and jam some Beatles with you! Thanks from Southern Illinois!

[jamesr]

Mike your attention to detail and history is incredible. This is one of the sound tracks to my life. Huge thanks from South Africa

Your re-creation of the greatest band of all time's tunes is genius in itself! It's perfection!
Thank you, Mike Pachelli!!

Fantastic music and instrument lesson. Congratulations teacher! You bring the phenomenon called Beatles to us, mere mortals from Brazil.

I really think that Mike is the best teacher on the Internet. I really appreciate all you do and all your work Mike. I have learned so much from you. God bless you kind sir!

[shawngorham]

[marclahn]

brilliant! You just can't do it better than Pachelli!

We all know what a phenomenal song "Something" truly is, and seeing it broken down in such a respectful and highly detailed way is a privilege.

This is my 2nd fave lesson/sound alike, after the grandiose and awesome "I Am The Walrus" clip (my all time fave Beatles track)

Rock on, Mike. We're all very lucky to have you.
