Beginner easy chords, but a very very tricky strum pattern that is both in the 16th strum pattern and percussive and FAST! We will take it slow, breaking down every single strum, every single down up, every mute so you can get this song exactly like Paul is playing it. Just to make it tricky the song has random measures of 2/4 and even one of 3/4! This is the only song I know that has measures of 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4! Very interesting. A song like this could never be popular today because songs on the radio follow very rigid formulaic patterns in terms of where to put the chorus, how many choruses, how long the verse is, etc, this song looks nothing like anything on the radio today. I don't believe one is better than the other, music is just a matter of preference BUT! I do believe that this songs that are so different are a lot more fun to play because they are so different. Make sure to use the time stamps as well so you can skip quickly to the part that you are practicing to help you accelerate your learning.
