So the recent George Harrison kick kept Beatles albums playing throughout the last weeks and I figured it was time for a little more Abbey Road to compliment Her Majesty. Here is a lesson on Mean Mr. Mustard.

Abbey Road ended with a long medley of short, mostly unfinished tunes, all put together masterfully, and it turned out way better than they had anticipated. This lesson breaks down Mean Mr. Mustard, which followed Sun King and led into Polythene Pam, at least on the final release, but more on that in the lesson.

The song only uses a couple chord shapes but has some quick, chromatic changes. The strumming pattern uses some palm muting and keeps a very regular pattern.

I love this! Count me in for the trilogy! Arguably one of their best albums. :D

Hey Lisa,

I'm sure you figured out that this lesson came about because of your enthusiasm for Her Majesty.
