By Adam Rafferty Leave a Comment

Here’s my updated version of The Beatles classic “In My Life” fingerstyle guitar from their “Rubber Soul” album, (1965).

The Beatles were one of my first HUGE musical inspirations, and still are.

“In My Life” is no doubt John Lennon’s masterpiece, but John and Paul had a little debate over who wrote the melody…

I say it’s mostly John “with a little bit of help from his friend.” I had to pull off some Van Halen-esqe techniques to get the George Martin piano solo happening! πŸ™‚

And if you’ve followed me for some time, you’ll note that I have toned down my orgasmic facial expressions since the first version I did in 2012 πŸ™‚

The Beatles are a never-ending source of inspiration for me!

TUNING:

Standard: E A D G B E

Lots of love, and hope you dig this new version of an old Beatles Tune!
