I came across an article the other day called Beatles Guitar Chords – A Great Way to Teach Yourself Guitar. I found it to be a pretty interesting read. Here’s a little bit of it.
Learning The Beatles guitar chords is an excellent way to teach yourself guitar. Love them or hate them, the music of the The Beatles has endured and stayed relevant for more than 40 years for a very good reason.
Their early sound tipped conventional music of the time on its head and the The Beatles’ style continued to evolve throughout their careers. While known for their faultless vocal harmonies, the musical ideas and techniques that the The Beatles used were filled with color and were the envy of many a rival. This is the reason that their music remains relevant today.
When learning any instrument it can be difficult to stay motivated long enough to improve beyond beginner level. I taught myself guitar as a teenager by listening and playing along with the music I enjoyed. For me, the music of the The Beatles opened up a whole new world of ideas and techniques, and of course The Beatles guitar chords have been reused by musicians ever since. Playing along with The Beatles songs absolutely took my guitar playing ability to a new level and years later I can still discover something new as I play along with some of my favourite albums.

It actually made me think back to how I learned how to play guitar.
I’m not disagreeing with the article… playing along with the Beatles
When I was first learning the guitar, I was into bands like Green Day
But not only that… it made learning fun. I was trying to get good enough to play songs that I enjoyed playing.
I also used the same idea to learn to play the bass, and a couple years later, even the drums and the piano. My favorite musicians taught me how to play rock music.
Maybe playing along with your favorite CDs will give you a boost in the right direction.
