How to "Yer Blues" by The Beatles on Guitar
Hey Friend!
There is nothing quite like John Lennon’s raw and edgy vocals singing a blues tune. So today I want to share with you how I play "Yer Blues" by The Beatles on guitar.
This is a raw and soulful blues-rock guitar tune. And in this blog post, we'll explore the chords you need, 12-bar blues, riffs, and even some time signature changes. So get tuned up and let's dive in!
Who wrote Yer Blues?
"Yer Blues" is a song written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney. It was recorded by The Beatles for their self-titled album commonly known as the White Album, released in 1968. The song originated during The Beatles' stay in Rishikesh, India, where they were attending an advanced Transcendental Meditation training course with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
The song's origins can be traced back to a moment of frustration and homesickness experienced by John Lennon during their time in India. Feeling isolated and longing for the blues, Lennon wrote "Yer Blues" as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the blues genre and its themes of sadness and longing.
During the recording sessions, The Beatles aimed to capture the raw and live sound of the blues. The song features John Lennon on lead vocals and guitar, with powerful performances by Paul McCartney on bass, George Harrison on lead guitar, and Ringo Starr on drums. The band successfully emulated the intensity and energy of the blues, creating a song that stands out within their massive repertoire.
"Yer Blues" showcases The Beatles' ability to experiment with different musical styles, infusing their signature sound with elements of the blues. It remains a fan favorite and a testament to the band's creative versatility.
Yer Blues Guitar Chords
“Yer Blues” is based on a 12-bar blues chord progression. The song is in the key of E. The majority of the song is in a 6/8 time signature. You’ll need to know 4 chords E7, A7, G5, and B7.

Who is this diet Marty Music ?
Underrated comment
Garbage is what it is.
This dude thinks he's Marty Schwartz lmaooo
Good lesson tho
You think Marty’s the only guy teaching on TH-cam?
@@mbrownie22 I'm talking about the thumbnail
Hmmm. Nah.
Nice of you BUT quit strumming over what you're saying.
I appreciate that he strums over what he’s saying myself. It’s helps me connect what he’s saying/ playing.
What works better for you learning/ watching?
are you teaching chords or are you going over a song? pick one but please don't do both.
If we are intermediate enough to play this song we don't need to know the finger positions for simple chords. Great song and lesson.
@@purplecowideal Hmmmmmm, interesting the way in which one comprehends what is asked. Nobody is asking for cord finger positions. the comment was actually a smart azz stab at what he's doing,,,,, which is wasting everybody's time.
