The Beatles - In My Life Acoustic Guitar Lesson Tutorial

Показать описание

Here's how to play the classic song In My Life by The Beatles.

This song is in the key of A major and features the common chords in this key. It has simple strumming and a great simple intro melody. I chose not to use a pick at all in this song, and I am strumming quietly just using the tip of my first finger.

A little trivia; when John Lennon was writing In My Life, it was going to be a longer song, with more verses, about the way Liverpool was changing, and nostalgia for the city he grew up in. Therefore the love he spoke of in the song was not for a woman, but for his home town.

When Lennon wrote this song it was truly his best auto biographical story depicting sadness in a beautiful song; a masterpiece.

Can I please thank you a lot? I got my guitar for Christmas in 2018 and I hadn’t picked it up because I was so nervous and scared that people wouldn’t like how I play. But thanks to you, I just played my first barre chord. I’ve only been practising for about 5 months now and I can play a lot more than the under pressure bass line now 😂😂😂 thank you so much. Keep doing what you’re doing ☮️💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

I'll need to give this a go. I usually play it in the key of G. It's a truly beautiful song, and one of Lennon's finest in my estimation.

I only hope I can play it without choking up. In My Life was my eldest sister's song. She passed away in 2001, and this song always brings back the loss.

Will definitely learn this while in lockdown

Thank you Andy! Great song and great tutorial. (And before the 2:00 mark I was playing the high strings but something was clearly missing. Then you brought in the E and A bass strings and it sounds perfect.) Many thanks.

Awesome. I always loved this but couldn't pull it off by ear.
Why anyone would give this a thumbs down is just a very sad sign of the times. 😒
