Hard Day’s Chord……
Obscure Musicology 101 – Another good one from Anon….. The first chord of “A Hard Day’s Night” – Never thought of it much, other than it was pretty cool and kicked the song off great… After finding out how it was done and that John, George, and Paul are ALL playing different parts on that single chord, I’ll never hear it in the same way again!…. I never noticed Paul’s Bass note before, or the double guitars with the complicated strange fingerings that John and George added…..  Timeless Music at it’s best!…..

That is TOO COOL, hearing how the cord was built. The Beatles were truly innovators of music and sounds.
