Learn how to play Doctor Robert, as performed by The Beatles released as part of their 1966 Revolver album. Those of us from the USA who were buying records/tapes prior to CDs remember this song was actually put out on the Capitol "yesterday and today" album, but the band did put this out on Revolver. The new Revolver Super Deluxe set was just released and on that includes a "Take 7" version of this song which reveals guitar that we don't hear on the final version of the song during the "well well well you're feeling fine" part. I talk a bit about that here too.

The lesson covers the rhythm and lead parts, though I think the most interesting part of the song is the driving rhythm guitar (played by John I assume?). The picking pattern of the 7th chords give the song its character for me. The lead guitar parts are minimal, but I demonstrate how to get those here too.
