The Beatles "Now and Then" Guitar Lesson | The Last Beatles Song Tutorial
We are witnessing music history! In today’s lesson, we’re learning how to play "Now and Then" by The Beatles. Originally written and demoed by John Lennon in the late 1970s, this track was finally completed and released in 2023. It’s a beautiful, melancholic song that every Beatles fan needs in their repertoire.
In this guitar lesson, you will learn:
• The haunting chord progression in the verses and the uplifting chorus.
• How to play the rhythm guitar parts that blend Lennon's original piano feel with George Harrison’s style.
• The strumming pattern and dynamics needed to capture the song's emotional "Now and Then" vibe.
• A breakdown of the George Harrison-inspired slide guitar solo (adapted for standard playing).
Incredible Song Facts:
• The Long Wait: The song was originally part of the Anthology sessions in 1995, but the technology at the time couldn't separate John’s voice from his piano, making it unusable—until now.
• AI Technology: Peter Jackson’s team (the same crew behind the Get Back documentary) used MAL audio technology to "clean up" John's vocals from the original home demo tape recorded at the Dakota.
• George’s Contribution: Even though it was released in 2023, the song features acoustic and electric guitar parts recorded by George Harrison in 1995.
• The Final Four: This is the only track where you can hear all four Beatles—John, Paul, George, and Ringo—performing together for the very last time.
• A 1970s Time Capsule: John Lennon originally wrote this song shortly after the band's breakup, during his "househusband" years in New York.
