It’s a simple song, but it’s packed with energy and showcases the Beatles’ connection to blues and early rock and roll.

So grab your guitar and let’s dive into this “Get Back” guitar lesson.

Who wrote Get Back?
"Get Back” was written primarily by Paul McCartney, but it’s credited to the songwriting duo Lennon-McCartney. The song was released as a single on April 11, 1969, and later included on the album "Let It Be" in 1970.

"Get Back" was created during the "Get Back" sessions, which were intended to return the Beatles to their roots by recording a straightforward rock album without a bunch of studio effects. The sessions were done in January 1969, initially at Twickenham Film Studios and later at the Beatles' own Apple Studio in London.

Early versions of the song included political and satirical references, such as poking fun at the attitudes towards immigration in Britain. However, these elements were eventually toned down, or taken out. Leaving the final version vague and singing about the need to "get back" to a simpler time or place.

The recording features brilliant playing from Billy Preston on electric piano. Preston's contributions were significant enough that he was credited on the single, making it "The Beatles with Billy Preston," which is quite rare for Beatles recordings. The track was recorded at Apple Studio with Glyn Johns as the engineer and producer George Martin overseeing the sessions.
