Eight Days A Week Guitar Lesson
In this detailed guitar tutorial, Michael Casswell breaks down the iconic Beatles hit, "Eight Days A Week," teaching you how to capture the classic feel and sound of this 1965 chart-topper. Casswell expertly walks you through every section of the song, from its instantly recognisable strummed intro to its upbeat, infectious chorus, blending rhythm and lead guitar elements to replicate the original performance. With Michael’s guidance, you’ll learn how to: Nail the bright and jangly chord progressions using open chords and barre shapes, characteristic of The Beatles' early pop-rock sound. Master the rhythmic accents and strumming patterns that give the song its driving energy. Tackle the song's melodic fills and embellishments, adding that extra layer of sophistication to your playing. Reproduce the song’s distinctive harmonic structure, influenced by early rock ’n’ roll and doo-wop, which makes it both simple and complex at the same time. This tutorial caters to guitarists of all levels. Beginners will find it a fun and accessible way to enhance their rhythm playing, while more advanced players can pick up new techniques from Casswell’s thoughtful breakdowns of the track’s finer details. As always, Michael’s teaching style is clear, precise, and full of practical advice to help you develop your tone and performance. Whether you’re a die-hard Beatles fan or just looking to add a timeless pop-rock classic to your repertoire, this lesson will equip you with everything you need to play “Eight Days A Week” with confidence and style.
