Paul McCartney - Let 'em In - Guitar Lesson Playthrough

More 70s! Here's one of my fave songs ever from Paul McCartney's solo catalogue - Let 'em In! This was a worldwide Top 10 in 1976 and an example of really laid back groovin'. I love it so much - especially Linda's background vocal. I also love the fact that the people mentioned in the song are real people, including his brother, and Phil and Don Everly. Nice.

These videos serve as lessons on how I play this bunch of Pop, Rock, and Reggae songs - sometimes as a single guitarist playing the only guitar part, though that's rare. And sometimes if there is more than one guitar part, then trying to find the single good path through the tune. I complete one pass, demonstrating different Rhythm parts, styles, and techniques. There is no talking. No discussion. No note-for-note explanations. As such, for clarity, my guitar is supposed to be louder in the mix than it would ever be in a live setting. But, if you really want to hear what I hear, do what I do and put on a good pair headphones with great bass response! It's worth it.

Why this is important to Rhythm Guitar:
Well, it's those two chords isn't it? BbMaj7 to Bb6. Even if you don't know the names - here's how to play them. Otherwise, once again it's all about understatement, tone, and cool.

The center of my wheelhouse.
