This fingerstyle arrangement of “Hey Jude” is friendlier than it sounds. The verses use a relaxed “thumb-and-fingers” pattern over simplified chord shapes — sometimes just one finger — so you can focus on a steady, flowing picking hand.
The chorus brings in a gentle descending bassline, the interlude adds a few pretty melody notes and a dramatic lead-in, and the big “na na na” outro switches to strumming for a satisfying finish. Take each section slowly and the whole arrangement comes together.
