February 26, 2025: I Want to Hold Your Hand is posted in the Member's Section.
This song has a bit of a dual personality. It's relatively easy to play ... until it's not. The B-flats up the neck (F chord for baritone) are nothing you haven't seen a bunch in Book 2, but each time you run up the neck on this song it also requires a bit of a pinky dance. I arranged this one with the intent of it being played by the thumb down method and so you'll be able to see the chords readily in the standard notation. I've started posting these sheets in color as I think it will help those of you who use iPads read things more quickly and make it easier to master the song. There are a few places to practice pull-offs and it'll make you sound fancier. The lyrics would make you believe holding hands is a big deal, and maybe it is, well, it probably is if you're seven.
