Sorry for the long link. TinyURL doesn't seem to be helping today. Stanley Yates used to have these "hidden" on his website and he shared them freely. I got my copy years ago. This Russian site has the PDF. There are dozens of pieces arranged for solo guitar. Here is a video of one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFsVwUjH1FM |

In 1963 I was fifteen years old, sitting in the kitchen, revising for some exam or other. The radio was on in the background. I wasn't paying attention to the radio until this extraordinary driving sound emerged from it - a wailing harmonica, drums, guitars, and then "Last night I said these words to my girl ...".
Shivers ran up and down my spine. What the heck is THIS? All revision stopped. Blow the exam. THIS was the most important thing I'd ever heard. I've heard a few other important things since then, but I never fell out of love with the Beatles.

I’ve always been a fan of the Beatles...and the Stones...and Led Zep...and the Who...etc., etc.
As for the Beatles, each Monday afternoon over the past month, my wife and I and a good friend have attended movie theatre showings of a four part filmed lecture series presented by Beatles historian Scott Freiman that explored the engineering and production.....“Deconstructing” the Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers and White albums. Absolutely fascinating. Beatles fans...if you haven’t seen these films, I think you’d really appreciate and enjoy them. http://www.beatleslectures.com/2017/...fotxli6wf6mw0q The other day I also came acrosss this video I hadn’t seen before. It’s very good.

Although Beatles 65 is a great album, my favorite is probably the Hard Day's Night album. YMMV. Good luck with playing "I'll Be Back". I finally gave in and just hold the Bm for that passage. Maybe if I had a Rickenbacker it would be easier. Dan |

Many years ago, when I was a young teenager I had one of these...
On one side was Revolver and on the other was Rubber Soul. With space on the label being tight I wrote 'Revolver' and 'R-Soul' on the spine. My dad looked at it and suggested I change it. Favourite album is Abbey Road - it has everything from good solid songs to the brilliant progression through 'side two'. Even has the 'Ok, we'll let the drummer write a song' song on it. But who would'nt want to be, under the sea? |

In the 1970s I upgraded to one of these: - which I still have (gathering dust on my bookshelves, and looking down on me accusingly... "Use me! before your magnetic tape collection all disintegrates..."). Without the first one, I couldn't have worked out all those songs I transcribed in the 1960s. Or copied all my friends LPs (yes, including Beatles).... Quote:
Reminds of that old 1980s comedy sketch (in chemist shop): "Hello, I would like some deodorant." "Certainly sir, would you like ball or aerosol?" "Neither, I want it for my armpits."

I really don't have a problem with people who don't like or appreciate the Beatles.
The facts are the facts...their influence on popular music was beyond profound, they were extremely gifted in a manner previously unseen and they made the rest of us who love them very happy.

In the original OP's video there is talk of the G6 chord (which is basically strumming the open strings between chords) as if this is peculiar to John Lennon. I have always done this and thought it was a common practice. Is this really as uncommon as the video might suggest or does everyone do this?
Up until about ten years ago I used to play a restaurant with my mate Pete. This is one of my favourites we used to do with Pete strumming his Takamine and providing the vocals whilst I did the finger picking on my Lowden. I do miss it. I always wanted one of these. |

Ozzy, nice cover of NW.
I don't think he was saying that playing the open strings is exclusive to John Lennon. He's just saying it's a technique that he often used. But I have The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook, and wherever a G6 is used, it doesn't indicate to play open strings. Like in I'll Be Back G6 is played as G on the 6th string, B on the 5th string, DGBE open (the E making it a 6 chord). It's in the first line, Am---------------G6----------------Fmaj7 You know if you break my heart I'll go Same thing in She Loves you, where it's over the final Yeah. Em Yeah, yeah, yeah C ------------------ G6 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you play all the strings open in either of those places, it doesn't sound right. JL does hit all the open strings at times, but I didn't understand why the guy says that's what the G6 chords in their songs are.

[QUOTE=TBman;5528229]I was 9 years old when they were on Ed Sullivan show. Its their fault that I make you all listen to my guitar playing. Without those four guys I wonder if I would have ever been inspired to pick up a guitar. Me, too, Barry. I was 11, and their music opened up a whole new world for me. I immediately knew I wanted to play guitar. My parents dismissed both the Beatles and my new-found desire to play guitar as fads that would blow over. But we all know how that prediction ended for the Beatles, and my love affair with the guitar is still going strong.

I've often noticed that early 50s "rock", Buddy Holly for example, use extremely simple chords and often, at least to my ear, didn't change or add chords when they should have. In comparison, the Beatles used more sophisticated, and more musical, chord transitions right off the bat.
