    BRIAN MAY:
    "Tou’ve got to hide your love away - MicroConcert number 9.
    A favourite John Lennon song - from the fabulous Beatles ‘Help’ album. An easy song to pick up the rhythm guitar part for. Guitar players note that the little finger of the left hand stays on that third fret of the top string almost the whole time !! All through the verses it provides a kind of bell-like clang - and only in the choruses does the top string become free to play a little counter melody. I don’t have an acoustic guitar here in my isolation, so I’ve used an un-amplified electric - a Gibson SG - to me one of the most beautiful guitars ever. It’s keeping me company ! And just fingers - no pick. To me, playing rhythm guitar is a noble art. It’s not all about wheedling ! Laying down a chordal base for a song really takes you into the heart of its structure.
    And -Yes - I have obviously lost track of what day it is. It was like an old-fashioned Sunday in our street today - and it will be that way for a long while now, methinks. Unless there are more surprises in store for us. We are in an unknown land now.
    Cheers all - Bri"

      True, heavily influenced at that point as you say but of course Dylan's influence is felt entirely on john's songs in the earlier beatles for sale album.
      Still the shift of his voice from one verse to another in the forementioned song, not only shows a technical command of his voice but how to use it in favour of what the song needed to convey lonliness and dispair..

    It’s just the way he’s playing basic chords. With his talent he could have gone wild up and down the fret board but no he stays true to the song and his heart and the heart the song was written with. This man is very very rare. He’s so real. A breath of fresh air!

      I was expecting the same thing, a wild solo, and jazz chords, but it's about communication.

    Beatles were wonderful. Thank you for helping us through this and I pray you know how much you are loved and appreciated. Perhaps you could persuade Roger to say a word or two to us on your PC and jam with him a bit. I pray he is doing well too!
