This Wednesday bonus stream was a Beatles special covering songs from 1963 and 1964. I started with "I Saw Her Standing There" using that signature E7 chord shape - basically a C7 shape slid up to the seventh fret. The other key E7 is a D7 shape moved up two frets. The bassline uses 0-4-0-7-0-5-4, which are the three notes that make up an E chord, and the improvised solo is all D minor pentatonic.
"She Loves You" got covered next with that classic Beatles G6 chord ending - just a G chord without holding down the thinnest string. The song uses E minor, A major, and C major, but the real emotional pull comes from that minor four chord. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" followed with more Chuck Berry-style licks from George Harrison - those blocky double stops that he lifted straight from the rock and roll playbook.
I tackled "All My Loving" with John Lennon's relentless rhythm guitar - sixteenth notes going constantly at one-and-a-two-and-a-three-and-a-four. It's full-on while singing. "Can't Buy Me Love" is basically a 12-bar blues in C with lots of seventh chords including that tricky G13 or easier G6/G7 option.
"Hard Day's Night" got attention for that opening chord - an F add G shape that's easier if you just skip the bass note. The solo features those three-note patterns with hammer-ons that separate beginner from intermediate playing. Wrapped up with "Yesterday" using G, F# minor 7, B7, E minor, and "When I'm 64" with its alternating bass pattern.
