The Unlikely Partnership
The partnership between John Lennon and Paul McCartney was one of the most iconic and influential in the history of popular music.
Lennon was known for his fingerpicking technique, while McCartney was primarily a strummer and not a fingerpicking artist. Lennon preferred the electric guitar, whereas McCartney played the acoustic guitar. Lennon’s left-handedness led to him playing his guitar with his right hand, resulting in a distinctive sound. McCartney’s ambidexterity allowed him to play with either hand, but he predominantly used his right hand. This difference in playing style significantly impacted the sound of their music.
He used the fingerpicking technique to play guitar in several songs on the Beatles’ third album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lennon was the primary songwriter and guitarist for the Beatles. He wrote or co-wrote most of the songs for the Beatles’ albums. He was also the primary producer of the Beatles.
