This is based on the studio recording and the live performance on August 1st, 1965 at the ABC Theatre in Blackpool for the live TV show “Blackpool Night Out". I eliminated a bridge and a verse. McCartney played his Epiphone Texan FT-79 tuned down a whole tone [D G C F A d]. I used a 1991 Gibson J-160E w/ Masterbuilt Phosphor Bronze .012 - .052 strings. The guitar was recorded with a Tascam DR07 digital recorder about a foot from the sound hole and midway between the sound hole and bridge and then mixed with the strings track from the original recording. My performance, with compression, is mixed with the strings track and the whole mix is limited. This is the way the Beatles recorded these early tunes. It is difficult to duplicate the sound with just the guitar.
My videos are really intended for accomplished guitarists who want to polish up their Beatles repertoire and can benefit from "seeing" how a song is played - I am not a guitar teacher and do not provide tabs. I welcome specific questions. If the various chords that I am playing are not familiar to you then I would suggest that you use a reverse chord finder such as guitar.to/guitar/. I originally had to learn many of these songs by listening to vinyl records and watching live performances on tv.
