WEEK 5
​BEATLES MEDLEY

After all that hard work, eight days a week practising Beatles song, I thought it may be fun to make a medley out them in preparation for Summer Strum festival coming up in July. Only time will tell ;)

It starts off with Now & Then so we will recap the strumming and picking for the start of this song. Download the full medley PDF to see all songs mashed together and have a listen to the audio. 
As you can see, there aren't any chords on the sheet so now is the time to really get to know them all!! Here is a recap of the chords from Now & Then along with the strumming pattern and picking pattern for verse 1:

The Chords 

You'll be glad to see that most of the chord shapes are quite basic and in open position apart from the Bm barred chord. 

The STRUMMING PATTERN ​

There is just one main strumming pattern you will need to play for the chorus, instrumental and outro sections which is a 16th note pattern as illustrated below:

The PICKING PATTERN ​​

For the verse sections, you will pick out the chords using only the C, E and A strings in a straight 8th pattern with a few variations on the final 3 chords. 
Watch this Tab video to view and listen to the picking pattern for the verses:
