Of all the Beatles songs, I think “Come Together” is one of my favorites. It’s got such a funky vibe going in the verse sections, and then when the chorus comes in, it’s kinda like a slam, but with real melodic flow.
The reason for this flow is due to going from a D chord to a B chord. That movement is a 6th away, and 6th intervals are just very harmonically pleasing and smooth. Hence the popularity of the 1-6-4-5 chord progression.
This song breaks out of key a bit, but it is in the key of D minor from a tonal standpoint. You don’t even really have to worry with what keys are if you don’t know. You can learn all of these things through being a member here on the site. The important thing is to keep playing guitar, practicing, learning as you go…and most of all…having fun!
The Beatles have been a huge influence to me in my music and in many other ways. So I hope this guitar lesson is helpful, inspires you, and teaches you something.
