Lesson Description

This guitar lesson has 6 chapters, but a couple of them are very long. The Performance shows you what we want to have you learn.  Notice the rapid-fire strumming. That’ll be yours when we’re done with you. The Overview tells you some of the fundamentals about the song history and structure, plus the chords you need to know. In the Verse Steve goes over the main Strum Pattern, doing the best he can to make this one of our easy song lessons. In the Chorus chapter you get another Strum Pattern, one that is a little more difficult but equally important. Here, the Beatles shifted from a backbeat to a syncopated rhythm. In the Instrumental chapter Steve shows you the accompaniment and the bass runs you’ll want to play on this part of the song. In the chapter on Section Endings you'll learn a terribly complicated-looking Strum Pattern full of rapid fire strums and stabs. In the Slow Practice you get a chance to put it all together by jamming with Teacher. For the Bonus Chapter Steve has rendered a simple and accessible arrangement of George’s great, but complicated, guitar solo.
