🎸► Yesterday Guitar Tutorial - The Beatles Guitar Lesson 🎸|Fingerpicking + Standard Tuning + TAB|

Welcome to this Yesterday Guitar Tutorial by The Beatles!
This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs ever written - pure genius by Paul Mccartney & John Lennon. It's such a fun song to play and only has 2 chord progressions to learn, although they are more complex than your typical 4 chords.

In this tutorial I teach you 2 different ways of playing this song.

1. Studio version - how Paul Mccartney actually plays it
2. Standard tuning version - for those who can't be bothered detuning

Both version are roughly the same in difficulty, although I'd say the first version is easier and sounds the best.

The other day it was my mom's birthday, so i surprised her,
playing the song yesterday. She felt emotional and then... tears of joy.

gg guess i’m gonna learn this instead of study for my exams tmr xd

[Alisson]

Thank you SO MUCH for covering a standard tuning version!!

One of the first songs I tried to learn on my guitar was using this tutorial for Yesterday. I failed dramatically due to the difficulty of playing and switching from/to the barre chords presented in this song. Came back 8 months later learning how to play this again and finally completed it. However difficult it may seem, just never give up!

man this really is the best yesterday lesson on youtube

[Teeder]

No matter how many times I hear this song, I am moved by it each and every time. I think the older one gets, the more relevant the song becomes. With additional years, come more loss and its accompanying heartache.
Yesterday, reminds you of happier times when “all our troubles (were) so far away”.
Anyways, I could go on and on about what this song means to me (and a lot of people), but what I should be doing is extending my sincerest thanks and appreciation to you for providing THE BEST lesson I have ever seen on this song. You are not only an excellent musician, you are also one outstanding teacher! This is a challenging song to play, but you have made it accessible to players of all skill levels. The tabs, the pacing, the methodical explanations - all are top notch.
Teaching the song in the tuned down “G”, and then standard tuning in “F” was the first time this has ever been clearly explained for me, and for this, I am most appreciative.
Finally, I want to briefly praise my musical hero, Paul McCartney. To have the musical aptitude to write the song in the first place, but to perfectly marry the melody to such amazingly deep, insightful lyrics, at such a young age, puts me in a state of awe at his maturity, talent, intellect, soul, heart, and so on. Obviously, I’m a fan, but who wouldn’t be? Sir Paul is one of the greatest composers of all time, and thanks to this exceptional lesson, I will be able to accurately play his first, and maybe greatest, masterpiece! Thank you once again.

excellent video and tutorial. Appreciate how you have the tablature and finger placement showing with the virtual fretboard and with your actual playing footage. Practicing this so my son, who's learning this song on piano, and I can do a father-son version.

[FrancisFarmerMusic]

Great work man! Your tutorials are excellent! I really enjoyed the alternate version you made for Iris.

[diegoestremera]

OH YEAHHH🤙🏻

Man that Roadie Tuner. Can’t wait!

[SpirusOfH]

I like the new layout of the videos. You've always been the best quality guitar channel out there, wish there was a channel for piano that was as good.

[loganparker]

[cecilbaird]

Dave, You have one of the best tutorials available on the Internet if not THE best! I have learned so much from them and your course! And your singer is phenomenal! Dave your rock! Cheers!

[metroymedio]

I'm learning to play "Teenage Dirtbag" with your tutorial... and definitely this is gonna be the next one! I really love The Beatles and this song. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from El Salvador!

11:12 why do you need to play an Em if neither the 4th or 5th string is being plucked?

[dwjassyparedes]

Can you do Phillips Phillips gone gone gone please please is me favorite song

[MaxSoldier]

I've been waiting for this tutorial, You're the best

[prinreborn]

Great tutorial! Here's an easier tip I found. For the second chord you don't need to touch the fourth fret since you're only playing the bottom 3 strings if you're only plucking them.

[weebfam]

Thanks man something to play when everyone in the world forgot the Beatles ever existed

[stpcaleb]

Aye u got us with the standard tuning!!!
Thanks

[markgrecia]
