The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night is one of the most iconic songs of the 1960s, instantly recognizable from its opening chord. While the original arrangement has multiple guitar parts layered together, you can play a fun and convincing version using just a handful of beginner-to-intermediate chords.

This lesson shows you how to strum through the tune with energy while keeping it approachable for all levels.
