Hey Gang, continuing the theme of lesser Beatles songs, today we add Wait to the library.

The Beatles 1965 album was loaded with classic tunes of theirs. Most people would not consider Wait as one of them. This was a McCartney tune that they did not spend much time on, although it had been considered for inclusion on Help, but it does have some interesting things for guitar players.

George Harrison mostly played 2-note chords while Paul filled in the roots on the bass. This lesson combines those into a hybrid picking style using the pick along with 2 fingers to grab the chords. This is a great song to learn this technique if you have thought about getting into it.
