I was ten years old when The Beatles first album came out. When I Saw Her Standing There was the lead song, still a great song seventy years later and they were just kids when they made it!

[@FrankPersico]

Wow. I wish I was here to have lived through the British Invasion!!! Thanks for sharing

[@FASFatherandSon]

My son Ken and I was was just playing this song at our practice a few weeks ago. We were shaking the room with it jamming lol. Good choice. I actually capo up to play it. I think 5 steps up.

[@FrankPersico]

I’m sure you guys nailed it!

There are a lot of untapped veins for solo acoustic performers to mine in early rock and roll and early Beatles. Yesterday was the late Eddie Cochran's birthday. "Summertime Blues" and "Twenty Flight Rock" are crowd pleasers as are Buddy Holly songs. The rhythm guitar parts of the songs off "A Hard Day's Night," "Beatles for Sale," and "Help," aren't hard and are taylor made for the solo acoustic performer. Although sometimes one will get complimented for playing Rosanne Cash from those who are unaware that "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" is a Beatles' song. Good content. Keep up the good work.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much for the insight and kind words. All the best

[@ericwillmusic_tpa]

I’ve been trying to learn Pride and Joy. I think I saw her standing there is a better blues to start with. Thanks!

[@FrankPersico]

Fab lesson Love the NY accent Cheers

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks!!! new yawwwk lol

[@tonypalamara770]

Two great songs Frank. Can I suggest that A hard days night is also a beauty to add. That interesting chord that it starts with and the arpeggiated chord at the very end hook the audience, and of course the energy of the beat of the song keeps people engaged.

[@FrankPersico]

That is an excellent pick thanks for sharing. I did this video awhile ago on 3 ez Beatles songs and I covered hard days night… check it out. Perhaps I will do a more deep dive video on that. 3 Easy Beatles songs to play guitar and sing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHTElaawYqaDrMk

Nice one as usual, Frank. :)

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks again!

[@johnharris7353]

That's good stuff Frank, I luv it! Sum of these older songs are really good ! Take care buddy! John in godforsaken St Louis !

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much. Cheers!!!

[@josephzimmer6776]

Nice clip. Difficult part is knowing when to change chords. Also strumming.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks … yes it can be challenging. Best thing to do is play along w the recording for practice

[@RichlandCommunity]

Fun song, but as I was singing it, at 67 it felt kind a creepy 😂.. I’m gonna have to change 17 to 70😜

[@FrankPersico]

Hahaah yeah that’s probably a good idea. I should probably do the same

[@DerekHart-g3t]

Great video Frank thanks. Still waiting for "Say it ain't so , Joe". I seem to have become obsessed with the song for what ever reason it just seems to speak directly to me. Do you have songs that do the same for you, could be worth a separate video!

[@FrankPersico]

That is a great concept for a video. Thanks for sharing. I made a note of it :)

[@TREE-TOPWOODWORKING-pe4qc]

Thanks

[@johngalloway7018]

I would love to hear that solo. How do I get it? Love this video

[@FrankPersico]

Come see me live lol!! 😂

[@odelljl]

I often do a trio of Beatles songs. I know - sometimes more than one in a row from a particular artist can be dangerous, but 1) the Beatles are mostly universally popular, and 2) their songs are short, and you can keep them shorter if you avoid some repeats. Coincidentally, I often start with "I Saw Her Standing There" and often "Nowhere Man." I like to sneak in a less well-known one; I'll do something like "I'm Only Sleeping," "Your Mother Should Know," etc. I stole some of your embellishments from this video on "I Saw Her Standing There." :> I also do a lot of palm muting on that one for variation. I'm allergic to Elvis and rarely do Elvis tunes - I appreciate it is to my detriment when performing :< I also keep one guitar in 1/2 step-down tuning. I'm 67, and no one needs to hear me strain!

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much for the post. I appreciate hearing other gigging players perspectives. Made me laugh cuz when I’m playing live I will never play just one Beatles song. Always at least 2 or 3 back to back… my joke to the audience (though it’s not really funny) is “didn’t you know it’s bad luck to play only one Beatles song?”

[@odelljl]

@@FrankPersico consider your joke stolen!

[@rickgrebenikpuggles56]

These songs I'm also tired of, I dropped them to,

[@FrankPersico]

Whatever works for you and more importantly your audience. My audience here likes it so I give it to them. Thanks for weighing in

[@rickgrebenikpuggles56]

@@FrankPersico yes, you see the problem is, I don't have a following,with a following they like anything you'll play,I quit playing weekly at the restaurant, I performed well and made effort to connect with the people, I'm realizing nothing is enough for the people, it's like a majic show, I go in and I'm to fast to show all my tricks( best songs), after the high energy performance is over,...I have nothing left to dazzle them with!!! So, I screwed myself!!!

[@ianwilliams1789]

1.53 before you reveal the first song! Please get to the point.

[@FrankPersico]

I would rather communicate to my audience what I like and deliver value how I see fit and most of my subscribers do. I put chapters in for the very reason you mention. But thanks for chiming in with your opinion. Cheers

[@brianswabb1878]

Why are you showing us songs in these particular keys? The first song, “I saw her standing there,” is obviously not your key to sing that particular song. The Elvis song, You keep dropping the note at the end of each phrase. That’s not the singing note. The guitar part sounds great. But I wish you would play, in the key that you can also sing in. That would be a big help.

[@FrankPersico]

Because this is a lesson not a performance to make the answer short. The point is that everyone has a different key and I’m willing to scratch the vocal not quite in my key to illustrate that. Not to impress the audience with my singing prowess or lack thereof. Opinions vary as u may imagine. I show them in the key they are in originally so that I would not have to instruct you to retune but could just get to the song itself for the audience benefit. Again opinions vary and you can’t please em all as you prove. So I aim to please most and fortunately that has worked. Thanks though for the criticism though I do disagree with what you propose is a better approach. Cheers
