Oh, Andy, I'm afraid you've opened Pandora's box on this one ….

and so on ….

That was awesome! Glen Campbell also did a lot of layered guitar chords to get a thick sound on his studio recordings. There's a lot more to the Beatles music than a quick listen would suggest. Thanks for posting this!

Pandora's box indeed, Barry! Quick, close it - close it!! Oops. Too late.

Playing my version of the 1st chord of Hard Day’s Night on pedal steel –

Long story short –
Obviously not the same voicing as on the original, but it was close enough for my buddy to know within about a second -what song I wanted to play, even without any other clue. Though to be totally accurate – we had played a number of Beatles songs that afternoon so it’s not like it came completely out of left field.

I always thought that it was just a D7th with a high G.
Guess I didn't really listen.

George Martin was TRULY the 5th Beatle. I just listened to it again, and yes, there's George Martin's piano chord. Never noticed it all these years.

too cool! i love how bachman is as excited as the rest of us

Speaking of how cool the Beatles songs are, if you have never listened to Elenor Rigby in headphones you really need to. It's my favorite example of how they made great sounding songs.

Way Cool

One Amazing Chord..

Joy to the world!
