Song Tabs

 “Get Back” is a classic Beatles song with a driving rhythm and a bluesy-rock feel. The original features prominent electric guitar, piano, and a steady backbeat. For acoustic guitar, you can capture the energy with rhythmic strumming and clear chord changes.

Chord Shapes and Progression
The song uses basic open chords: A, A7, D, and G. For A7, simply lift your ring finger from the A major shape. Practice switching between A and A7 until it feels smooth, as this transition happens frequently.

Strumming Pattern
Use a steady, straightforward rock strumming pattern, such as: Down, Down-Up, Up-Down-Up (D, D-U, U-D-U). Keep your strumming hand moving with the beat to maintain the song's groove. For extra drive, emphasize the first downstroke of each measure.

Tips for Sections
In the intro, let each chord ring out slightly before moving to the next. During verses and choruses, keep the rhythm tight and even. When the chord changes from A or A7 to D or G, prepare your fingers early to hit the changes cleanly.

General Advice
Keep your strumming relaxed and focus on clean chord sounds. If you’re a beginner, slow down the tempo at first. Once you’re comfortable, try playing along with the original track to match the feel and timing.
