You are very kind Uncle John. I have always really enjoyed Beatles music and it has been a delight to be able to cover a lot of their songs. And I hope others have been encouraged to give them a test run. I don’t know if I can’t sing just about anything, but key transposition is my best friend and 1-finger chords means any key is playable and no capo is necessary. Thanks for watching!

Love it. Doing some good Beatles. And Doug, you can really sing just about anything.

You got it Kale! I’m surprised by the number of Beatles songs that are very playable and singable on a 2 or 3-string CBG.

When I was in my early 6-string guitar playing years I purchased The Beatles Complete. What a disappointment, all those finger busting chords that were way beyond my skill set. I did not get far. The group playing and singing ukulele community changed all of that and we are the beneficiaries of their amazing work and not just for Beatles songs.
