Learn how to play Because, as performed by The Beatles released on their 1969 Abbey Road album. A beautiful and haunting chord progression and vocal performance for sure, and I always thought the guitar matched the harpsichord all the way through but I recently found that was not the case, and is in fact much easier to play than I had thought. No capo's needed, no adjusted tuning needed, all the chord shapes he played were very simple. Apparently John listened to Yoko Ono playing Moonlight Sonata on piano and asked her to try playing the chord progression backwards to see what that sounded like and he took that as inspiration to compose this song.

The lesson covers John Lennon's arpeggio guitar that was on the record.
