Paul McCartney – Listen To What The Man Said Guitar Lesson Info
Learn how to play Paul McCartney – Listen To What The Man Said note-for-note on guitar with our Paul McCartney – Listen To What The Man Said Guitar Lesson.
This lesson teaches a one-guitar accompaniment to Listen To What The Man Said by Paul McCartney (and Wings), arranged to capture the feel and musical detail of the original recording while remaining playable on a single acoustic guitar. I’ve arranged it for fingerpicking, so you can bring out the song’s distinctive groove while keeping the chords and bass moving underneath. The main riff is fully incorporated, and all sections of the song are covered so it works as a complete solo performance.
The instrumental break — originally a sax solo on the record — is here reworked as a guitar-led section, where the guitar takes over a melodic version of the verse. This keeps the arrangement cohesive and playable.
It’s played in standard tuning and sits at an upper-intermediate level. There are some barre chords and coordination challenges between the thumb and fingers, but no thumb-over shapes, and everything is broken down clearly in the lesson.
The download includes the full video lesson, a play-through performance, and detailed tab and chords, so you can learn the arrangement exactly as demonstrated.
