Lesson notes

Drive My Car kicks off Rubber Soul, the 1965 Beatles' album that really changed the music scene of the day. It opens with a somewhat confusing intro (which is explained in great detail in this lesson), then heads into a fairly basic progression with a bass riff borrowed from Motown. But like almost all Beatles' tunes, there are some incredibly innovative twists.

The lesson shows a basic way of strumming through the progression but also breaks down exactly what George plays, echoing Paul's bass line.
