Five Very Best Beatles Tunes To Learn On Guitar By: Brian Va | - Everybody knows how wonderful the Beatles songwriting and recording skills were. But have you thought about their guitar work? You need to. The Beatles actually had three great guitar players-George, John, and Paul-each of whom played the axe on various tracks. Even though George Harrison is usually thought to be the lead guitar player, on various records each of the others played lead. To really grasp how the Beatles approached the guitar, you should therefore learn several Beatles songs--one f ... Tags:The Beatles Music Blog, The Beatles chord books
The Recommended Beatles Songs To Play On Guitar By: Brian Hartzog | - Everyone understands just how impressive the Beatles songwriting and recording skills were. But have you thought about their guitar work? You need to. While George Harrison is usually viewed as the lead guitar player of the Beatles, but the group actually had three remarkable guitar players. You see, George, John, and Paul each played guitar on Beatles songs. They switched off responsibilities frequently--especially in the later years. If you want to master the Beatles approach to guitar, you'll ... Tags:The Beatles Sheet Music Blog, The Beatles guitar tabs
The 10 Most Influential Albums Of The 60's And 70's By: Jon White | - We all know that there are no right or wrong answers when naming the greatest albums of all time. It's a purely subjective thought process that is influenced, more than anything, by age. Most of us think that the albums we grew up with - the ones that provided the soundtracks to our youth, are the best. However, the perceived wisdom is that there are ten albums, all of which were released between 1965 and 1979, that provided the template for everything that followed. These are as follows:

Could The Beatles Read Sheet Music? By: Brian Hartzog | - I have to qualify this article about whether or not the Beatles could read sheet music with an admission: I never knew the Beatles. I was still a toddler while they were making their last album as a band.
Unfortunately, I have never met a Beatle, and I do not have first-hand knowledge of the way in which they operated in the recording studio. Instead, its based on what I've read and what I know about the Beatles songs themselves. I am a huge Beatles fan. Huge. I have devoured al ...

It was founded by Brian Jones (guitar and harmonica), Mick Jagger (vocalist), Keith Richards (guitar), and Ian Stewart (pianist).

Well firstly the Beatles incorporated and used all the different styles in their music, and in their songs, but not only that, they also changed what was acceptable in music and what was not acceptable.
The Beatles History - The Beginning Of A Creative Revolution By: Jimmy Cox | - Not every group sticks out from the annals of history the way The Beatles do. To be more exact, this group doesn't just stand out. They are part of what defines the story of the evolution of modern music. If the group never came to be, popular music as we know it would not be the same.
The group's origins can be traced back to 1960 when a teenage John Lennon set up The Quarrymen. The original line up included Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best. Paul McCartney and George Harrison joine ... Tags:beatles history, the beatles history

Five Musicians Who Should Have Been Famous By: Frank Bilotta | - The reasons behind Pete Best's notorious 1962 dismissal as The Beatles' drummer have been a point of debate among Beatlemaniacs for decades. Some claim he lacked the solid beats needed to support a rock band, while others claim John and Paul vainly wanted a less attractive drummer. Considering his replacement was the dubious-looking Ringo Starr, the second theory actually seems likely.
The Beatles Mystique Explained By: Hunter Crowell | - There was in the news recently an item about remastered Beatles music using the most modern techniques. For Beatles music fans Beatlesmaniacs, as they might call themselves such news will be a very welcome development, for it means they can hear again their favorite musicians. But while such remastering may have rendered the recording of the music in a new format, experts and audiophiles agree that vinyl records and playback systems still reproduce the music better than any digital recording.

The Beatles Here Comes The Sun Was Harrison's Bright Moment By: .VIRGIL STORYTELLER. | - The Beatles Here Comes The Sun is one of the best-known contributions to the Beatles albums by George Harrison. Written during a hard time in his life, Harrison wrote 'Here Comes The Sun' with his good friend Eric Clapton for the Beatles last album as a band; Abbey Road. The time that Abbey Road was being recorded was an especially hard time in the life of George Harrison. During this time many difficult circumstances happened that were high profile and led him into a rather dark period in his l ... Tags:The Beatles Here Comes The Sun
Seven '60s Bands Who Are Still Relevant By: Marvin J Markus | - What really interests me as far as popular music goes isn't what's popular at any particular time but what remains popular over the long haul. I think that's what separates truly great music from the rest. Great music continues to be relevant long past when it was first recorded.
The Beatles Yesterday Tugs At Heart Strings By: Vince P. Platania,J | - The Beatles Yesterday is one of the most persistent songs in their entire catalog. Over 3000 different versions of this track have been recorded by a huge variety of artists. The song had humble beginnings inside the mind of Paul McCartney more specifically, inside a dream he had one night. With a fair number of McCartneys musical compositions resulting from dreams, this shouldnt be much of a surprise. Perhaps due to the otherworldly manner in which the song had appeared to ...

The Beatles She Loves You Knocks On America's Door By: Vince P. Platania,J | - The Beatles She Loves You was their first real break into the American music market. The year was 1963, and the Beatles had already scored big time in their native Britain with the million-selling hit I Want To Hold Your Hand. The release of She Loves You afforded the group with the same level of success, and by now, Capitol Records, headquartered on the other side of the Atlantic, began to take notice of the phenomenon unfolding in England. They exercised their ... Tags:Music, rock & roll, classic rock, rock music, The Beatles, S
The Beatles I Am The Walrus - What Does It Mean By: Vince P. Platania,J | - Few songs have sparked as much debate over lyrical meaning as the Beatles I Am The Walrus. Released in 1967 as the B-side to 'Hello, Goodbye', the track's bizarre wordplay and pastiche of vocal and musical samples have confounded amateur rock scholars in cafeterias, basements and garages for decades. In addition to its single release, 'I Am The Walrus' was also featured on the album 'Magical Mystery Tour'. The album was tied in with the television film of the same name, a rambling piece of ci ...

1968's Seven Most Fantastic Albums By: Marvin J Markus | - 1968 is sometimes forgot about in the world of popular music with 1967 being the "Summer of Love" and 1969 being the year of Woodstock, but it's actually the year that the greatest album of all time (in my opinion) was released: The Beatles White Album. Obviously then The White Album is one of my selections for the seven "must hear" albums of 1968. Read the rest of the article for the other six. The albums are listed alphabetically by the album name (not by the band or artist name.)
Song By Song: Rubber Soul By: Marvin J Markus | - The Beatles were already leaving songs like "She Loves You" in the rear view mirror by 1965 and Rubber Soul shows that beyond a shadow of a doubt. They were advancing musically at an amazing rate. This is a song by song breakdown of this classic album.
#1 "Drive My Car" - The opener is really the only "rocker" on the album. It was sung and mostly written by McCartney. Although John Lennon did help with the lyrics, McCartney wrote the music on his own.
Beatle Paul's 7 Best Vocal Performances By: Marvin J Markus | - While John Lennon and George Harrison both have good voices and a certain style that they do very well. Paul McCartney had a great variety to what he could do vocally. He could sing very soft songs like "Yesterday" but he could also sing heavy rock songs like "Helter Skelter." He could really adjust and contort his voice in amazing ways. This article is on his seven best vocal performances as a Beatle.
1964's Best Seven Albums By: Marvin J Markus | - 1964 was not only the year of The Beatles invasion of America. It was also the year of Bob Dylan & of great jazz music from Miles Davis and other jazz legends. Speaking of that, all apologies to Herbie Hancock for leaving Empyrean Isles off this list. The seven albums listed below may not be your favorite seven albums of '64 but they are seven albums you should hear.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: Track By Track By: Marvin J Markus | - I think people forget to talk about the music itself when talking about The Beatles incredible 1967 masterpiece Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. In this article I focus entirely on the 13 songs that make up this great album.
#1 "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is probably the "heaviest" song The Beatles had done to that point (although they would surpass it for sure in 1968 with songs such as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and of course "Helter Skelter.") But as usual ... Tags:The Beatles, Sgt Pepper, 1967, Classic Rock, Beatles, Paul McCartney, John Lennon
7 Essential Albums From 1967 By: Marvin J Markus | - These seven "must hear" albums really tell you a lot about what 1967 means in the history of rock music and it means quite a bit. The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, & Frank Zappa's The Mothers of Invention are the bands that created these albums. These are without a doubt some of the most important rock bands ever.
Seven Essential Albums Of 1965 By: Marvin J Markus | - The Beatles went from "All My Loving" in 1964 to "The Word" & "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" in 1965. The Rolling Stones went from doing generic R&B inspired rock n roll in 1964 to writing & recording "Playing With Fire" in 1965. Bob Dylan went from "Blowin' in the Wind" in 1964 to "Ballad of a Thin Man" in 1965. Tho Who hit the scene with songs like "My Generation." As these examples make clear, popular music changed a lot from 1964 to 1965.
Maharishi And The Beatles: What Really Happened? By: Tom Ball | - The Beatles discovered Maharishi in 1968 and spent a few weeks studying meditation with him in Rishikesh. Much has been made in the news media and blogosphere of the Beatle's association with Maharishi and the rise of popularity that followed for Maharishi and his form of meditation. Yet many people wonder if Maharishi had a greater effect on the Beatles than they had on him and his worldwide Transcendental Meditation Movement.
The Seven Best Rock Singers Of All Time By: Marvin J Markus | - Like any other aspect of music, what kind of vocals we prefer in our music is a matter of taste. So I'm not trying to get into an argument over my seven greatest rock singers vs. your greatest seven. I'm more interested in a "conversation" about appreciation of great singers. I want you to think about this list the next time you listen to one of these singers. If you aren't a big fan now, perhaps you should listen a little closer to hear what you are missing.
Seven Essential Albums Of 1966 By: Marvin J Markus | - 1966 has to be one of the greatest years for music ever. Not only is the music from '66 timeless in that it still sounds amazing today. It also laid the groundwork for almost everything we hear today. All of the sounds of the late '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and today were being laid down for the first time during this period. That's what was so exciting about popular music at that time, it was actually evolving right there for everyone to hear. These seven albums best represent the evolving sounds ...

The White Album At 40 By: Christopher Carter | - But few would argue today that the Beatles made a mistake. Last night's note by note, song by song, reproduction by the Fab Faux--an extraordinary group of five musicians devoted to reproducing the Fab Four's entire body of work live onstage--shows more clearly than can ever be appreciated on even the finest stereo system just how monumental a musical achievement the White Album was, and still is.
The White Album Turns 40 By: Marvin J Markus | - The Beatles had released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band & Magical Mystery Tour in 1967. Both had outlandish covers and a focus on psychedelic music. In 1968 The Beatles went the opposite direction with a plain white cover and a focus on variety in musical styles.
While it's not as flawless as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band or Revolver (which I'd probably rank #2 and #3 among Beatles albums) I think it's incredible variety makes it the most interesting listen over the ... Tags:White Album, The Beatles, Beatles, 1968
The Con Of The '60s : A Look At The Reality Behind The Decade Synonymous With Peace And Love By: Samantha Gilmartin | - It's difficult to define the edges of an epoch. Sometimes thoughts, ideologies and fashions seem to gel together so cohesively into a period of time that we claim them as a separate era. Are we always aware when they begin though? Or where and when they come to an end?
The decade of the 1960s is certainly one of the clearest examples of period of time that has taken on a tangible identity. Remembered, eulogised, elegised, mourned for and mythologised, the 1960s evokes clearer, st ...

The Beatles Anthology 3 - Disc One By: Marvin J Markus | - I enjoy every era of The Beatles career but my very favorite Beatles album is The White and that may be why my favorite disc of The Beatles Anthology series is disc one of Anthology 3. Many of the songs on disc one of Anthology 3 are from The White Album.
This article takes a track by track look at each of the 27 tracks on disc one.
A Hard Day's Night: The Album By: Marvin J Markus | - Many people think of The Beatles classic film when they hear "A Hard Day's Night" but the soundtrack album by the same name was a huge step forward for the band's songwriting. Their first two albums included only 8 original songs each (along with 6 covers) and quite a few of those originals were not particularly good. A Hard Day's Night was all originals (no covers) and for the most part these songs were a huge improvement over their previous originals.
Magical Mystery Tour: The Album By: Marvin J Markus | - The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour album is often somewhat forgotten compared to Sgt Pepper, Revolver, Rubber Soul, The White Album, Abbey Road, Let It Be, A Hard Day's Night, & Help! but in some ways it's among their greatest albums. Although it may be hard to argue it's their best album, it is reasonable to argue that it is their most psychedelic album and if you are great fan of psychedelic music like I am, that means a lot.
Reaching Across The Universe Beatles Resonate Even Today By: Virgil The Story Teller | - While Paul McCartney was the most well known member of the band to indulge in seemingly ethereal song concepts, John Lennon was also from time to time given to contribute his own musical visions. With Across The Universe Beatles fans were treated to a glimpse into Lennons creative process. In 1967, Lennon was inspired during an argument he had with his wife. While listening to her talking at him, rather than to him, the first line of Across The Universe kept repeating in his mind: ...

Get The Best Of Football Fever And Music By: Brian Scheiner | - Online music and DVD selling has been prevalent for quite sometime now. It is a great feeling when the parcel with a rare DVD or CD gets delivered to your doorstep. There would be no football fan who would not like to watch a Liverpool/Everton FC match long after it has been played. Watching an old European Cup Football match with friends during the holiday season is something that one would aspire for. There are many companies which try to select the best of football matches and classic music s ...

George Harrison's 10 Best Beatles Songs By: Freddy R Bubble | - George Harrison is often referred to as the "quiet Beatle" and sometimes sadly even as the "forgotten Beatle" and that's due to the fact that he was in the same band as the greatest songwriting team in popular music history. Lennon/McCartney were good enough to overshadow almost anyone but that being the case Harrison wrote many great songs with The Beatles and that's what this article is set to highlight.
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band By: James Randall Twist | - The Beatles 1967 album Sgt Pepper is often cited as the most influential and important album of all time. In what I consider to be a reactionary backlash to this praise Sgt Pepper is also often cited as one of the most over rated albums of all time.
This year this monumental album turns 40 years old. So where does it stand now? In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine ranked it as the #1 album of all time. It doesn't fair quite as well on the popular music rating website Rate Your Music ... Tags:beatles, sgt pepper, the beatles, sgt. pepper\'s lonely hearts club band

The Liverpool wall of frame in front of the Cavern Club is a tribute to acts from the city who reached number one in the charts. It has 54 number one hits since 1952 on it. The wall is dominated by The Beatle who have 17 discs on the wall. The National Trust has purchased the McCartneys house in Liverpool.
