Beatles If I Needed Someone Guitar Lesson + Tutorial

Wow here we are at song #13 in the Rubber Soul Series! Today's lesson is how to play "If I Needed Someone" on guitar by the Beatles! After this, there is only one more song left to cover on this album. It's been a journey, and thanks for being a part of it!

Today's lesson breaks down a secret sauce to the Beatles' sound. It was their use of a Rickenbaker 12-string guitar. The Rickenbaker 12-string is a very unique instrument, and one of the ways that George Harrison would play it was by combining arpeggio picking and strumming at the same time.

I'm going to break down this classic technique just for you in today's lesson.

🎤Lyrics:

What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
The other day I saw you
As I walked along the road
But when I saw him with you
I could feel my future fold
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind
I met you in the morning
Waiting for the tides of time
But now the tide is turning
I can see that I was blind
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?
I used to think of no on else
But you were just the same
You didn't even think of me
As someone with a name
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
