Twist and Shout Lead Guitar Secrets

Recorded in one take during the marathon recording session for the Please Please Me Album. I cut out a couple of verses, but all of the lead guitar parts are there. My videos are really intended for accomplished guitarists who want to polish up their Beatles repertoire and can benefit from "seeing" how a song is played. If the various chords that I am playing are not familiar to you then I would suggest that you visit some of the many free guitar chord sites. I had to learn these songs by listening to vinyl records and watching live performances on tv.

which strings do you use? pyramids? flatwounds?

[mlswartz]

@Tatazildo I've been playing/recording for a long time. Brand of strings don't matter. Quality, material, style (flat wound, half round or round wound) and age matter. I use nickel round wound because of the fat tone. The playing technique, chord voicing, guitar, amp and recording method influence the sound (in that order) the most. See my two-part comment below "...Heavy pick, bridge pickup on,...." about my recording technique.

You actually would be so amazing if you posted tabs as you play or made tutorialls

thebeatles1595: I will tell you that I use the following chord positions while playing the lead: D (C up two frets), G (F up two frets), A and F#m. You can figure out the rest.

[mlswartz]

tkatvgps: Yes, the high sixth note (f#) is there on one of the phrases in the middle eight. It was most likely unintended, a byproduct of the chord fingering.
