Always loved this song. Hugely underrated.

Excellent as ever, Mike!...the quality of the songs that they wrote and recoded at such a young age is quite amazing. Thank you, Mike, for your expertise in reproducing these Beatle classics! 🎸 James

Superb deconstruction of another Beatles’ gem. It’s mind blowing to learn and see the barely 21 year old Harrison’s talent. Not only were his licks tasty beyond compare, his sophisticated timing was also incomparable. He was a prodigy for his time and all time! Hendrix and Page admittedly held playing skills beyond Harrison, but Harrison was ahead of all rock n roll guitarists at that time, and he laid groundwork and opportunities for other future artists to excel. Your teachings really open a new space for examination and appreciation of Beatles’ works. Thank you Mike!

Once again another great Beatles lesson. Keep on rocking on. Thanks Mike.

"Well, there you have it!" No kidding you rascal, this is too good, because of your talent and studious nature! Thanks a million!

They were so inventive with chord progressions. Thanks for the analysis. I’ve had a ‘66 Guild Starfire electric 12 string since the ‘80s and have used it at gigs for “You Can’t Do That, ” which people recognize. However, “I Call Your Name” has always been a personal favorite.

Mike, i wanted to let you know that i wrote my research paper in college Humanities about how the Beatles changed rock and roll history. Im a couch guitarist with a Martin 12 string and an Ovation 6 string. I consider myself a very accomplished rhythm player that cant play 2 notes of lead put together. I don't know the circle of 5th's, but understand chord progression. The way the Beatles introduced minors. 7th's, augmented chords was my main focus of my research paper. Dr. Chow, my Humanities Professor was a classical trained pianist. Little did i know, he was a CLOSET BEATLE FAN. Needless to say, i got an " A " . He totally agreed with my hypothesis. Until the Beatles, most early rock and roll and skiffle was a 3 chord progression . Going out on a liimb with a minor thrown in. Thanks for all you do to keep the music alive. I consider John as one of the best rhythm players of all time.

Without a doubt, it was my mother who “inherited me a taste for The Beatles”. At first she didn't let me touch her vinyl collection, but one day when she was already a teenager, she gave me a cassette, my first Beatles cassette. It was a compilation of singles under the name, The Beatles Rarities from the EMI Parlophone, with its cover with a beautiful and dark blue background with golden letters. In this compilation it was that, I call your name and its chord progression blew my mind. How cool, I said to myself. I listened to that cassette so much that it practically fell into dust from listening, going back and listening again. Beautiful memory, thank you Maestro, as always, solid 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Man GEORGE got a lot of licks in on this one! Fantastic job Mike! This song is so brilliantly written, you can hear from POP TO COUNTRY BLUES ON IT.

Mike, you've brought to my awareness what has made the Beatles different and superior to all other bands that ever existed. The Beatles band members - all of them - brought, not only their "A-Games" to every song they ever produced, they brought much, much more: They brought MUSIC. Most other bands use dull chords and fancy riffs to their music. But if they broke it down like the Beatles did and add what NEEDED to be there, you will see why they created
"Beatle-mania". Mike I learn so much from you and I appreciate your love and attention to the Beatles and imparting the Beatle superiority to us. Thank you.

More great history and instruction!! Thanks, Mike!

[TheMichele]

Love it ! Thank you as always, Mike !

[guitarandbeyondplus]

Excellent Mr meticulous Mike. You must have the patience of Job. As there say in your new neck of the woods....magnifique et merci Michel.

[brucetowell]

Thanks Mike, you always do the boys so well! Bravo! I'd like to put a vote for "One After 909". Amazing that it was just recorded live out doors on a rooftop in 40 degree blowing wind weather and came out perfect!! Got to give props to Preston on his keyboard work too!

[thereactors-southbay]

Giving me another incentive to break out my 360/12 now 2 songs in a row! Thanks again for all your time and effort keeping Beatlemania alive.

[StarCityFAME]

Another fave of mine from John! He had a great talent for that rock n roll vibe plus memorable melodies! I also like the Mamas and Papas version, which was a bit goofy, but a nice tribute to the Beatles' songwriting. Thanks again!

[howardkwellerm.d.]

Gave me goose bumps, like first time I heard it at age 13, 59 years ago

[keithgrimes]

Excellent job decoding these sounds and rendering them with authentic tones!

[rickalexanderguitar]

Great video Mike. Love the Mamas and Papas cover of this song.

[COBBETT]

Thanks so much Mike. This is one of my favourite Beatle tracks on my favourite Beatle EP. In my humble opinion, their best EP, containing as it does Paul legendary apparently one take version of "Long Tally Sally", Johns blistering version of I think, Larry William's "Slow Down", and a very creditable solo by Ringo on Carl Perkin's "Matchbox". I read somewhere that the great Mr Perkins was actually at the session. The whole EP is hard driving rock n' roll, with great lead work by George and possibly John on each track. Ang George's newly acquired jangly 12 string Rick, is plastered all over it. Thanks again for opening up one of my favourite Beatle tracks for me.
