Beatles guitar lesson PLEASE: Read video description below BEFORE COMMENTING.
I eliminated the third verse and first bridge. George played Am to Em in every measure of the first verse but then in every other measure during the rest of the verses. This is a 1966 Gretsch Country Gentleman played through a Vox AD15VT set to AC30TB w/ no effects. Min Bass, Min Mid, Max Treble. .010 -.046 nickel plated wire wound strings. The amp was close-mic recorded with a Tascam DR07 digital recorder and then mixed with the backing tracks created from the original recording. Compression was added during mixing. Harrison used a Gretsch Tennessean which sounds very similar. Also, a 1991 Gibson J160-E recorded with a Tascam DR07 digital recorded 1 foot from the guitar slightly ahead of the sound hole. Strings are Masterbuilt Phosphor Bronze .012 - .052 No tabs. No profanity in comments please.
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.
