Hi Everyone!

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.

If I Needed Someone is an early George Harrison song, released in 1965 on The Beatles album Rubber Soul. It shows some of his developing interest in Indian music, using a droning bass note underneath a mixolydian melody. It is played with a capo at the seventh fret, moving the ‘D’ shape chord into the key of A.

The song comes of of a little noodling around the ‘D’ shape, something that produced Here Comes The Sun a few years later. It also featured George’s Rickenbacker 12-string and borrowed a bit from The Byrd’s version of The Bells Of Rhymney.

The lesson includes a couple different approaches to picking technique, including alternating, hybrid, and fingerpicking, as well as a look at John Lennon’s second guitar part, played without a capo.

Enjoy this level 4 song!
