[beatlemaniac]

the edit of george and his double was done on purpose.....if you'd really think they didn't see it then i don't know what to tell you...

Just making conversation....really I'm not trying to sound unintelligent or anything....just discussing.

[pc31]

the one taken in the library is called the haunted house version...the one with the boy and girl is the original...but someone talked george into doing the house one....he did the band one because he thought the other 2 were over the top a bit....

[Hello Goodbye]

Footage from the set of I Got My Mind Set On You R7tPgrR3Hik

Well, making this video took time, a whole lot of precious time, it took patience and time to do it....to do it....to do it....to do it....to do it....to do it right!

OMG, fendertele, it's almost identical to the winegum advert - good eye/ear! I wonder if the same producer did both ... anyone know if this is the case (I did a quick google search and didn't find anything)?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Got_My_Mind_Set_on_You   Interesting to note that the song was written in 1962, I think George has said that was the happiest musical period of his life, nice that he went back to that. Also interesting to note that the dancer in the break is a young Bob Geldof, easy to see when you look for it*. Finally, apparently the last #1 in the US for any Beatle ... go George!

Hey Fendertele ... it seems that George is playing the 3 chords of the song in about a million different ways on the fretboard. Are all those fingerings legit, or is it "miming" to an excessive degree? If it is real (which I suspect), is it that impressive that he knows all those ways to play the same chords, or is that pretty much expected to be in every experienced guitarist's skill set? I remember there was a song in the 80s, "Shieks of Sultan" I think, had a line like "Guitar George, he knows all the chords", I always wondered if this was an homage to our George ...

*Just kidding about that being Bob Geldof, but it looks like him a bit! The Wikipedia link gives the name I think, some guy named Tony Blair ...

"You check out guitar george he knows all the chords
Mind hes strictly rhythm he doesnt want to make it cry or sing" - Sultans of swing - Dire straits

its a reference to player called George Borowski.

I like the video, but I think the song is awful. George didnt even write it and was still a hit for him so what do I know.

Well, you know what you like, and so do I. This song is a "miss" for me-- I don't care for it at all. Which shows once again how out of step I am with so many #1 tunes. I did think the video was cute in a surreal way, loved the fake George dancing, but wished so many of the critters didn't look so obviously dead and dried out.

Hey FenderTele - Thanks for the George Borowski reference. The computer code didn't come out right, I think, but that's OK.

But hey, help me out please with all the fingering of the chords he does in that video! Are they all legit!? Is it really impressive he knows all those fingerings, or is it just de rigeur for any reasonably good guitarist? Enquiring (inquiring?) minds want to know!

Thanks!

[Hello Goodbye]

no probs...check out the extended version...

It rocks!!  Thanks again pc31!!

[Hello Goodbye]

Catchy tune, that.  I can't seem to get it out of my head.

From watchinf the video these were the chords i saw him playing, so i played them over a drum beat and recorded it, i think it sounds about right, but there could be extra chords i missed, plus its hard to tell as the guitar is really hidden in the mix

[sound]http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/84600/mind.mp3[/sound]

just realised the drums go on for another minute or two without any guitar lol

Chords chorus: C#m G#7( like the taxman chord) C#m, E B E

Verse : E A B

Yes, I also think the 80s are to blame for the video.

[Hello Goodbye]

Thank you, fendertele.
