The Beatles "Help" Complete Lesson, Tab & Chordsheet

Hello friends,

Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another by request song tutorial. In today's session I've broken down my approach to playing The Beatles 1965 hit-song "Help." I'll take you through the intro, verse and chorus sections, and demonstrate how to combine elements of John's acoustic rhythm, Paul's alternating bass-notes, and George's transtion riff. Let's get started!

This is a very simple and complete arraignment. Is this the original key? Damn they were signing high.

Always a pleasure Carl, let me know what Beatles tune you recommend I do next. I am working out "Here Comes the Sun," just need to carve out some time to commit it to muscle memory.

You got it Melinda, in the original track there are several guitars at work. I believe John is hitting a full minor chord, with power chords overdubbed and George performing the walk down riffs. So Bm is the chord being implied there.

Does this mean B power chord is interchangeable with B minor and both written Bm or is it a typo? Love this lesson btw
