I just uploaded this to YouTube today. This is one of my favorite early Beatles songs. I had this on a 45 way back in 1964!

It's a simple melody and I was able to play much of it on a single fret by using the knee lever that lowers string 6 a half-step (G# to G). Thanks for checking it out.

Good stuff, Doug.

They should put that on the Beatles station on SiriusXM!

Nice Doug. Those guys were such good melody writers. I remember as a kid sitting in front of the big stereo console just hypnotized by their sound. Keep em comin!

I too listened to vinyl on a big Zenith console back in those days. Nice memories.

I have been transcribing this one for the last hour or so. What a great melody for pedal steel

That’s great, Doug. Do you lower string 6? G# to G

Nicely played, Doug. I enjoyed your music. I was around when the Beatles changed pop music and played some of their tunes in a rock band beginning at age 16...

Thanks Larry, much appreciated. I too was a big Beatles fan back in those days, and learned to play guitar on many of their songs.

Hi Doug. If you don't mind what are you changing with your right knee right on the tune And I Love her?

Great work as usual.

Thanks Fred, that knee lever lowers string 6... G# to G.

It gives me a minor chord, Am on fret 5 (also Am9 when string 7 or 1 are included).
The melody of this song lays out nicely with that lever. I release the lever when I go to A & B pedal positions.

I also use that lever to play my version of "Ghost Riders". Again, in Am, and that lever makes the verse section easier to play.

I should mention... that knee lever is RKL, not RKR.

Beautiful Doug, always enjoy your videos. I think that's why I could never get "Ghost Riders" to sound right. Eddie


do you have tracks for sale from your videos?

Great Job Doug!!! Do you have Tab for this? I looked through your material, but didn't see this one. Thanks, Ray

No tab for this one, Ray. I used the G# to G knee lever (string 6) to play the main part of the melody, so if you have that lever, try watching the video (and slow down the video on YouTube) and you may be able to figure out most of it.

Notice Doug's great bar technique. Hitting the note(s) right on, then a nice tight vibrato (paying mind that vibrato is tighter the further up the fretboard one goes). Sometimes, players aren't sure of their tuning and mask it by starting right in with a wide vibtato.
I think of players with Doug Jerigan's picking hand as "flat handers", as opposed to Jeff Newman's "cupping the egg" right hand. Doug's right hand has a nice happy medium.
I generally like the tone better with the cupping method, but Doug's technique is a great combination of "regular" picking and pick blocking.

Thanks Larry and Chris. I'm primarily a "pick blocker" so I don't always cup my hand as Jeff Newman taught. I do palm block sometimes to get a staccato sound, but pick blocking always felt more natural to me.
