"I Should Have Known Better"

Backdated, archival post

[link to original on tumblr]

---&---


I used to know some of the parts to "I Should Have Known Better," and over the last few days, I re-learned/remembered them.

I've been going through my harmonica book in order to get better at it, but the harmonica part here is still very rough.  I cobbled it together from a few takes, and the part during the solo took at least nine attempts.

I took the chords from The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook, but I havent studied the original closely enough to know if I play them in the exact same rhythm.

Im still unsure of the last notes of the guitar solo.  I resolved it to (part of) a G major chord (D and G), but the original seems to have a bit of dissonance.
