All you need is... |
Hey , at first I didn't like The Beatles. I bought Let It Be when I was 13 and I didn't get it. The production was crummy (little did I know that many songs on that album were recorded live) and the singing was unadventurous. No vocal acrobatics like Jeff Buckley or Radiohead (who I was massively into at the
time.) Move ahead 15 years later and I couldn't avoid them. Starting out as a guitar teacher at least 75% of my guitar students wanted to learn either a Beatles song. I've always focused my lessons around my students music taste so I had no choice. When I started to learn their songs I understood their musical genius. Their chemistry is perhaps their biggest
strength. How they listen to each other, their collaborative song writing and their ability to identify and encompass each others strengths and weaknesses. That's incredibly rare. Not just to find in a band, but to find in any group of people. The sheer scope and growth in-between their albums. Most of their songs come from a place of sheer joy. An almost childlike energy and
curiosity. It's priceless and for anyone that's ever tried to write a pop song they'll know just how challenging it is to write something original that comes from the heart. And doing it consistently is close to impossible. And I have all this admiration without even getting into their guitar playing. It's a wealth of technique, original chord progressions and expression. The best part is
their songs can cater for the earliest of beginners and intermediate players alike. For beginner players check out the lesson below: There's a further 6
full song lessons with my latest release being Across The Universe You'll find other Beatles lessons at the Classic Artists Page Their legacy will continue to inspire music lovers and musicians for a long time to come. All you need is love, Drue
