Harrison's lead for this early Beatles hit from the film A Hard Day's Night. I've cut out the first verse to shorten the song, but all of the guitar parts are there. This is a circa 60’s Musicraft Classical Guitar with light tension silver plated wound and clear nylon strings- D'Addario Pro Arte EJ43. The guitar was recorded with a Tascam DR07 digital recorder 1 foot from the guitar slightly ahead of the sound hole. Effects are added during mixing. My performance, with compression, is mixed with the backing tracks and the whole mix is limited. This is the way the Beatles recorded these early tunes. It is difficult to duplicate the sound with just the guitar and amp. No tabs.
My videos are really intended for accomplished guitarists who want to polish up their Beatles repertoire and can benefit from "seeing" how a song is played - I am not a guitar teacher and do not provide tabs. I welcome specific questions. If the various chords that I am playing are not familiar to you then I would suggest that you visit some of the many free guitar chord sites. I had to learn these songs by listening to vinyl records and watching live performances on tv.
