More on the Beatles Guitar Class

The Beatles Guitar class will be different than my standard class. Besides being taught on more than one level(depending on the level of the students), the class will offer songs and different accompanying parts to give a feel of playing in a performing group or "guitar orchestra." For example on the song "Day Tripper," I will have the more advanced players play the guitar riff on the lower strings while I have the other players strum the rhythm part with the open chords.

On other songs I will have some students playing barre chords and having other students playing open chords.

For the first course The Beatles Part 1, here is a tentative song list. If you would like to include others, give me your input.

1. Please, Please, Me

2. Twist and Shout

3. All My Loving

4. A Hard Day's Night

5. Things We Said Today

6. I Should Have Known Better

7. I Don't Want to Spoil The Party
