Lesson Description
This guitar lesson has 8 chapters. The Performance shows you what we want to have you learn in the lesson. The Overview tells you about the history, form, and style of the tune, plus the chords you need to know. In the Intro David shows you the main Strum Pattern that emphasizes the “back beat” with a “scratch” on the 4th beat. In the Verse you get a nice taste of what we call “C7 Magic” in our Technique Library and a few tips on how to slide with ease. The Chorus chapter gets you using the same Strum Pattern on the “Day Tripper” chorus line. The Bridge that comes in the middle of the song gives you more practice on the Main Strum pattern, but you get to hear David’s lovely falsetto here as he drills you on the easy groove. The Riff chapter may be the most challenging part of this lesson. This is where you'll learn note-for-note how to play the guitar lead that you all know and love. In the Bonus Chapter David shows you how to play the song in the original Beatles key of E, which is way harder than playing it in C.

"Day Tripper," by The Beatles, was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and was released as a single with "We Can Work It Out" as the B-side. Both songs were recorded during sessions for the Rubber Soul album. The song topped the UK Singles Chart and peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song was recorded in October of 1965 at Abbey Road Studios. The released master contains a noticeable mistake, a drop out at 1:58, where the rhythm guitar part momentarily disappears. The drop out may have been done to cover tape damage or some other recording mishap. It was later corrected on the 2000 compilation 1. "Daytripper" was later released in the Red Album in the UK, and Yesterday and Today in the U.S.
