@@chrisst8922 I agree with you completely. In a lot of cases, his rhythm playing is what totally drives the song. A few, I Saw Her Standing There, You Can't Do That, their Roll Over Beethoven and R and R Music, All My Loving, I Want to Hold Your Hand...It goes on and on. Exquisite. The boy was pretty good at not just playing them, but coming up with those perfect chords all the time--Magic!

J'ai toujours aimé le RIF DE GUITARE de John sur cette chanson qu'il a écrite à l'intention de George pour le film A HARD DAY'S NIGHT. Tout comme la chanson All my loving, on peut reconnaître les INFLUENCES DU BANJO sur lequel, sa mère JULIA lui a enseigné à jouer une première pièce THAT I'LL BE THE DAY ! Dommage que cette chanson n'ait jamais obtenu le crédit qu'elle mérite ! Elle figure dans mon TOP 5 de la première période du groupe. Une chanson dynamique qui traduit bien cette merveilleuse époque YÉYÉ

Hey Nick, I always played George Harrison's guitar parts in all of their tunes, when I played in two different Beatles Tribute bands, as well as a British Invasion Group and I have to say, you nailed Lennon's guitar part. JL was an excellent guitar player, extremely creative in usually dead on with tripplets or anything else he played. This song showcases his talent, sort of like All My Loving does. Both songs are difficult for a lot of guitarists to get through without screwing up, but you did an excellent job.

Tricky triplets in that song . Nice job!
@yes_head3 жыл бұрын
Those triplets were Lennon's secret weapon. "That Boy", "All My Loving", this song, etc. It probably goes back to his early days learning banjo chords, which is also where his chord shapes came from.
