    The most important song in music history (otherwise Lennon and McCartney might never have played together) - and very well explained to boot. I am thrilled!

It seems that most people in our area are acting like the lockdown is over, so I'm not surprised there have been spikes in West Yorkshire. We're happily keeping ourselves to ourselves though.

    • @RocknRollSongbook
      @RocknRollSongbook  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks very much! When I perform this one at gigs I often tell that story about Paul playing this song to John at the Woolton Church Fete in Liverpool. I don't live too far from Liverpool, and I also know one of the Quarrymen (Rod Davis). Paul also played 'Be-Bop-a-Lula' to John.
      What a lot of people don't realise is that Paul borrowed a right-handed guitar to play the songs, although he's left-handed. He played the guitar upside-down rather than in the right-handed way, and so he didn't actually play the songs very well on that occasion -- not like you see in Beatles biopics. John was more impressed that Paul knew all the lyrics to the songs than by his guitar playing. Although Paul was already a much better guitarist than John.

      Like you, I like to travel with an instrument (either guitar or ukulele). Here's me playing a rock 'n' roll song on my ukulele at Sun Studio in Memphis a few years ago -- standing on the spot where Elvis stood to record 'That's Alright'. It looks a bit silly, I know, but it was quite a thrill:

      Yes, great minds think alike! 😃 I've been getting requests for tutorial videos for a few years on my rock 'n' roll channel, but always resisted until recently. It seemed too much like hard work! But I've always enjoyed teaching guitar and uke, and during this lockdown I've been teaching via Zoom instead of face-to-face. Been teaching folks around the world, including one of your countrymen -- a university professor in Seattle to whom I'm teaching punk ukulele ...it gets a little bizarre at times!
      "Okay, sing and strum along with me: "Anarchy for the UK! It's comin' some time, a maybe ..."
      Talking to a camera like that reminded me that making these videos may be a fun project. I look forward to seeing your tutorial video! All the best, Jez

      That's correct. Paul also played 'Be-Bop-a-Lula' to John at the Woolton Church Fete. He says that he played neither of them very well, as he had to play them on a right-handed guitar.
