The Beatles Acoustic Guitar Lessons
Learn how to play the acoustic songs by The Beatles note-for-note on guitar with The Beatles Acoustic Guitar Lessons. Each lesson includes the playthru, video lesson, songsheet with chords and tab.
The songs that had a main acoustic part originally (like Blackbird and Here Comes The Sun) will be taught as played on the original recording. Those that were originally electric (like She Loves You and Back In The USSR) will be arranged for solo acoustic guitar and voice.
Click on any of the song titles to see a clip from the start of the lesson. (The free one you can download in its entirety.)
You’ll receive at least two videos per song, one lesson and one performance-standard play-through. You’ll also receive the chords/lyrics and guitar tabs as PDF files.
The videos are mp4 format and should play on PC’s, Macs and most mobile devices.
They will download as Zip files.

Hi Jerry I think it’s high time for a Beatles Acoustic Collection Vol 3 😊
Jerry says
That’s a thought. Let me think about which ones would be in it.
Steven Singletary says
Thanks Jerry for including the timing (1e & a) in your instructional videos. Not a lot of instructors include this important element in their teaching. Really helps the beginners with a sense of the rhythm of learning the guitar. Also makes me feel like a real rock star! You are the man! Jerry!
Jerry says
Thanks!
Steven Singletary says
Thanks for your hard work Jerry and offering your skills and talent to us who struggle with playing. Any chance you can do Night Moves by Bob Seger? One of my favorite Artist that you cover is Bread. Thanks Jerry!

Jerry says
It’s temporarily gone.
I’ll be re-doing it to include the guitar solo part

Hey Jerry…Your lessons are great! Any chance you could do, “Nothing Like a Hundred Miles” by James Taylor?
Jerry says
Hi Jim
That one will be coming
John Wagner says
I thought I saw Day Tripper on your site once. I know the beginning, but was looking for the rest. Is that on the “ToDo” list?
Thanks! This is a great place to buy lessons.
Jerry says
Hi John
I’ll certainly be doing Day Tripper when I get to the electric Beatles songs.
Doug Beebe says
How about Till There Was You? I realize it’s a Broadway cover by Meredith Wilson and his estate might be tough, but George’s solo is great! I’ve seen some tabs but they don’t seem to match what you see on Sullivan or other footage.
Al Inchausti says
Cry, Baby, Cry is surely missing here!
Jerry says
Not missing. Just not done yet. It’s on the to-do list.

MORE ELECTRIC BEATLES AND SOLO BEATLES, PLEASE.
AND WHAT ABOUT BADFINGER…..
Gee Dee says
I liked the pricing of the Artists that you had before.
I don’t really care for the way you are doing it now.
Just my opinion.
Jerry says
I wonder if someone can think of a solution that would allow me to go back to offering artist collections. I’d be very grateful.
Here’s the reason I stopped:
– A collection doesn’t stay fixed in time. I add new lessons by that artist. I used to email previous collection purchasers to offer them a discount on the new lesson.
– After the EU GDPR law change, I can’t email collection purchasers any more.
– I could keep collections static and not add new lessons to them but that makes no sense and would lead to a lot of incoming questions (“Why are only some of the John Prine songs in the collection and others not. I want all of them.”)
– I could add new songs to the collections but not offer them at a discount to existing collection purchasers, but that seems very unfair on existing purchasers and again will lead to a lot of incoming questions.
This isn’t a money thing. I’m not against bringing collections back. I just need a workable solution to the problems.
Any ideas?
Terry says
Jerry, I’m happy with thing as as they are currently, but IRT your question there are perhaps two (maybe too simple) possible solutions?
First solution is multiple “collections”; for example, “Beatles collection #1 contains songs A through G” and it’s priced and fixed without further change… then “Beatles collection #2 contains songs H through N” and it doesn’t change, etc. Second possible solution is to allow purchasers to create their own “collection”by offering X-number of songs by one artist as a special price; for example, any 10 songs by The Beatles (alone) get the buyer some special price. That requires no extra effort by you and the purchaser certainly couldn’t complain about which songs are in the “collection”!
But to my mind, your existing discount offers are more than fair already. I know of no other source for what you offer at anything even close to what you ask. The recent selections are not often of interest to me but I’ll keep watching and coming back for more as time goes by! Best wishes —
