Lesson Description
This lesson has 6 chapters. The Performance shows you what we want to have you learn in the lesson. The Overview tells you what you need to know to speak intelligently about the song in social situations, plus the chords you need to know. In the Verse chapter we go over the main Strum Pattern that you’ll need to learn. In this chapter you’ll also be shown how to incorporate hammer-ons into your playing without losing your groove. Hammer-ons are one of the things that really make a guitar sound cool, so learning how to play them is really fundamental- and fun! In the Chorus chapter you keep the same Strum Pattern going with a minor modification during the verse-chorus transition. In the Slow Practice you get to put it all together and play along with the teacher as she does it over and over. In the Bonus Chapter you learn some very useful bells and whistles that will spice up your playing. Overall, this is one of our beginner to intermediate guitar lessons. And, we do it almost exactly the way the original Beatles guitar part was done.

"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," by The Beatles, was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. It first appeared on the album Help! in August 1965, then appeared in the 1973 compilation 1962–1966.
The song was written at the time when John Lennon was strongly influenced by Bob Dylan. Dylan's 1964 song "I Don't Believe You [She Acts Like We Have Never Met]" opens with similar lyrics, and Dylan's vocal style and spare use of percussion can also be seen in this work. John Lennon sang lead vocal and played the twelve-string guitar; Paul McCartney, the bass guitar; George Harrison, the acoustic guitar; Ringo Starr, the tambourine and maracas; and an outside artist, John Scott, the tenor and alto flutes. "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" refers to homosexuality, which was a criminal offence in Britain at the time.
