Till There Was You - The Beatles (George Harrison lead study) (Patreon)

A deep dive into the chords and lead work for this slice of early Beatles magic!
George’s guitar playing was always so melodic, tasteful and cultured, and this tune is a fine example of that. We really hear this influences shining through in this pop/jazz classic!.. from Chet Atkins and Django Reinhardt to Mickey Baker and many more!
I took my favourite aspects from a handful of different live versions, as well as the album version itself and put them all together in this study. Not only do we learn his intro, solo and outro, but we also look at his clever use of triads to craft neat lead parts behind the vocal throughout the verses.
We also learn John Lennon’s preferred chord voicings for the rhythm section.. a fascinating lesson in itself!
Hopefully you’ll leave this lesson feeling inspired, and with a few new ideas for crafting your own super tasty lead parts!
People often ask me “how do I apply triads and make them really stick?!”.. well, this is a sure fire way to do that! Analyse how the masters used them, and then borrow those ideas for yourself in your own music!
