John’s notes;
This famous Paul McCartney ballad is another example
of how common the 1- 4 - 5 chord progression is. In
this example the key is C Major so uses the chords C -
F - G plus the minor 6th Am.
I’ve created this in 3 versions, ‘Stand alone, Rythm,
and ‘Lead’ arrangements. You can extend the tune by
playing the chorus at phrase 12 twice.
As always, practice a phrase at a time, and try to get it
sounding as good as you can before moving on to the
next phrase.
Don’t go for speed, that will come later when you are
confident with the notes, chords, and techniques
needed. Most of all - Enjoy!

Let it Be - ‘Flat Picking’ Guitar
Flat Picking version
Rhythm Guitar supplies the background harmony whether on it’s own or with other instruments. Practice along with the
Backing Track on the website first to get your chord changes and timing ‘spot on’ before playing along with the melody
(either a singer or instrument).
NOTE: The rhythm guitar would not normally be played this loud. It would be mixed withinin the backing harmony. This
video is for lesson purpose only.
