The Beatles song catalog is a great resource of popular songs that you can practice to and stretch your guitar skills with. Get Back is one of those songs. Relatively fast paced at 124 bps, John Lennon’s lead guitar part has got a lot of 2-finger power chord shapes as well as meaty solos in the tab. It’s pretty tough for a beginner like me, but I loved watching how it was put together. Eventually, I’ll take that part on.
George Harrison’s rhythm guitar part is a relatively simple, but it’s mute, strum piece that’s got long repetitive parts that were practice friendly for me. I don’t see many challenging muting practice parts in my Fender Play lessons, so I really appreciated finding the rhythm tab on songsterr.com
