Hey everybody, Max Rich here, and for you Beatle fans, I'm sure you know that's the
intro to [N] Hey Bulldog.
Normally played on piano, but we're guitar players, so we're gonna take care of it today.
And this song in particular, it comes from the Yellow Submarine movie, and [G] is just [F] such
a, like, I don't want to say stereotypical Beatle song, because the [A] Beatles have spanned
so many different styles, but they have such a unique [Gb] character and such a unique flavor
in [F]
regardless of which song they write, you can [D] tell it's the Beatles.
And that's exactly what's going on here.
Here you have a blend of piano and even, [F] like, crunchy, distorted guitar.
This is 1969, so it's got the beginnings of that classic [N] rock feel, you know?
We're not dealing with a, I want to hold your hands Beatles, we're more Sgt.
Pepper style.
[Eb] And this song in particular has, you know, your standard, like I said, piano intro, but
we're taking care of it on guitar.
But then we go into the [N] chord progressions that are really unique.
They have really cool chords, unusual chords, and sort of, I want to say a chromatic [Bb] flavor.
And if you don't know what chromatic means, chromatic just basically means, like, [B] [Db]
[Eb] one
note after the other, you know, so not part of, like, a major or minor scale.
And so when you [C] blend chromaticism in with normal chords, you get a really unique [Bb] flavor,
a really unique sound.
That's what's going on in part [Eb] of the song here.
But in addition to that, we're also going to talk about the solo, because the solo is
pretty ripping for the time, you know?
It's got some fast stuff, some intricate things, but also very bluesy, so it captures, I think,
it covers a lot of ground.
And as guitar players, there's a ton of information that we can pull from this lesson, pull from
the song, from obviously all the intricacies of the solo, but also the harmony and the
arrangement of the song.
If you're a songwriter or if you're, like, into doing your own music and you [G] use this
as an influence, well, then you're going to get a ton of material out of this lesson,
so don't go anywhere.
