UCL 3 - WEEK 5
"NOW & THEN"
This week you will explore NOW & THEN the latest and possibly last, Beatles song, released in 2023. Five decades in the making and some new technology developed by Peter Jackson & his software team within the production of Get Back made it possible to separate Johns 1970s recorded guitar and vocals to produce a fresh, clean mix which hit the tops of the charts in December 2024 a week after entering the chart at no 42.

The Chords
You will be playing, 2nd and 3rd position chords for most of the song.
The STRUMMING PATTERNS
This is the main strumming pattern that works well over the verses and chorus sections. Beat 1, 3 + are played a bit lighter to provide an effective dynamic sound.
This is the strumming pattern you will play over the solo parts. You can alternate with this pattern within the song, just as long as you manage to get to the next chord with ease.
The PICKING PATTERN PART
At the end of each verse sections, you will strum and pick out the final two chords as follows:
