Easy Beginner Guitar Songs - The Beatles "Let it Be" Lesson, Chords and Lyrics 

Hello friends, My official chord sheet & Tab for this lesson can be found in my First Repertoire Song Book available at: goo.gl/N8N2TQ. This ebook contains several beginner friendly tunes, with video tutorials linked throughout it's pages. Enjoy!

You helped me make my mother cry.. her favorite song and i can play it. all thanks to you. Thank you

Before I get to watch this tutorial, I had to watch an ad that "Watching RU-vid Videos" to learn how to play the guitar" does not work. Sometimes irony can be so ironic.

OMG this is so good when you first play the whole song, then show us..That's how it should be.YOU ROCK MAN

i love how i find this a week after i started listening to the beatles again and got a guitar

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be And when the broken-hearted people living in the world agree There will be an answer, let it be For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see There will be an answer, let it be Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me Shine until tomorrow, let it be I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be There will be an answer, let it be Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be There will be an answer, let it be Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

I don't know how much this will mean to you, man. As I am sure you hear this kind of thing all the time; but you just taught me my first song. I have been playing for justshy of a month and a minute ago, I was getting emotional. Playing something that sounds ... like music, just blew me away. Thank you for the well thought out break down and lesson. Now I can't stop playing the verses.

Suggestion/Tip for making better and quicker chord changes: After making a chord shape, hold that chord, and strum that chord at least 20 times, initially with down strums. After each strum, keep/hold that same chord shape and "Squeeze that Chord"(depress fingers onto the strings) with your finger tips, then "Release"(let the strings come off the frets but keep your finger tips in place while they rest on the strings): "Squeeze" "Release", "Squeeze" "Release", "Squeeze" "Release", etc at least 20 times. Your fingers will learn the "muscle memory" needed to make the shape all at once(not one finger at a time). Repeat this process until you can pick up your guitar, and instantly place your finger tips on the strings with the proper chord shape! Later after learning all your chords this way, you can use the "Squeeze" as a rhythm dynamic to add punch/pulse/drive/rhythm to your playing!! Let me know if this helps. Bob

Just finding this in 2020 and my fiancee wants to learn guitar. I'm a poor beginner guitarist at best but your video helped me teach her and created a whole new bond between us. Gifting people the love of music is truly magical. You my friend, are a wizard. Thank you for making it easy to learn.

I know this may sound stupid, but the whole reason I have trouble with playing the guitar is because I don't remember chords well. I always preferred bass or instruments with bows because they only usually play one note at a time. However, I inherited my father's guitar, and I want to learn it in memory of him. Let me just say that this is the most helpful video I've ever come across when it comes to learning a song. You do so well at it that even I, someone who hates using chords, understand it.

Thanks to the students of r/guitarlessons for dropping in. I hope you get a lot out of this lesson! -Rob

You are a gifted teacher young man. I'm 50 years young and new to the guitar. Your patience and attention to detail in your instruction is some of the best I've seen. Keep up the outstanding work and you bet I'll tune in to future videos!!

I couldn't sleep and just thought of looking for an easy song to play on guitar and just thought that "Let It Be" could be that. I'm glad that I wasn't wrong 🙏 You really made it easy, bro!!! Thanks a lot 🙏

I'm at the very beginning of my guitar-play, but man - this song and the way you teach it is simply great! Thanks a lot! Really keeps me playing. Just need to improve my switch from one chord to the other :-) Keep up the good work!

Your by far the best guitar teacher on all if youtube. Plz keep it up

Finally i found a good and helpfull tutorial. Thanks mate!

You are honestly one of the best teachers I've found on RU-vid! Your videos are incredibly awesome!

Wow, that's the best short tutorial I have seen. I like the way you show the diagram of which chords/notes to pick. Sometimes that can be hard to pick up on. I think you have done a very good job of putting everything together.

i love the way you make your videos you demonstrate the songs perfectly thank you!!!

Just saw this guitarlessons and wow this is amazing. I enjoyed the tutorial and very helpful. Thanks.

This song is SO much fun to play. Been working on it for three months now as my first actual guitar song. This video really helped. Thanks.

I am a beginner (about 10 months now, determined not to give up) needing a song to spice things up and motivate me. Great lesson! Other videos seem to rush through "oh you know C G D well you can play these songs"...and they don't give me all the info I need to learn the songs. I want words. I want to see when to play each cord in a simplified version. You inspired me today! Thanks so much.

Thanks man your the only person on RU-vid I've been able to learn anything from! :)

Your Voice is wow...

The best tutorials on youtube .... This song and the stand by me are the only two songs i know untill now all thanks to you ... All the other youtubers go too fast and dont guide u enough. Keep it up And thank you so much

Rob - Great lesson. Thanks for your excellent explanations of the chord progressions. Putting the words under the chords was a big help. You are a great teacher. Thank you and congratulations on your new baby! Best of luck to you and your family!

you are a great inspiration to my guitar learning.

You helped me learn the song thanks!

You caught the essence of what beginners want, quick results but reconizable songs that are fun and easy to play.

This was a great lesson. The theory behind the playing and song was explained in understanable terms. The song tutorial was slow and uncomplicated. It was great. Thank you

Thank you! I played it for my dad, (he is a big Beatles fan) and when i was a little kid he always played and sang this for me! ❤️ He was so proud, and all because of you! Sorry for my English, I'm from Sweden!

Every Beatles song show's the transition we must all follow. These guys progressed as we all shall. Keep going.

Rob you are an awesome teacher!! Keeping with The Beatles theme - could you do a tutorial of Don't Let Me Down. Seen this Capo on 2nd Fret - Playing primarily D, Em, and A with lots of embellishments and would like to learn this one 😊! Thanks for all your tutorials they have helped me bunches!

Love your teaching style! I played very poorly for years and never tried anything like the walk downs but you made it SO easy and I feel so pleased. Thank you!!!! ☺️♥️🙏🏻🎶

Very helpful thank you

@swiftlessons, at 7:43 you start explaining the strumming pattern of the verse. D.., D,D,U. Can you also explain how you play the strumming pattern of the refrain? Thats seems different to me. Anybody else that can help?

This lesson has been the best lesson ever in my life. Thank you

This is the perfect format for an online guitar lesson. The best one I have found yet.

i love your style..it seems Dylan style i think :) THANKS!

Fantastic tutorial!! Love how you have the words and chords at the bottom of the screen to play along with!

Thank you. I’m sure this will be my first song I will able to play. Your a excellent teacher.

7:50 strumming pattern

Thank you for taking the time to put out this video, I'm a beginner in guitar and your instructional video has helped me so much on this classic song. 👍🏽

strum pattern

Did not fucking expect the vocals. Like what the fuck. You sound better than the original.

I wondered if I could do it...I went back to your videos... I think I can! Beautiful teaching! Thanks a thousand times! 🎶🎶🎶

Glad to see someone teaches guitar even to people who do not have aspirations of becoming a rock star. Thanks for the easy relaxed lesson.

i have just started to learn to play guitar and the 1st 2 songs i am learning is let it be and stand by me all taught by you, your lessons and instructions are so simple to follow, thank you

That you so much. This is the best guitar tutorial video I have seen.

I have to say, that you're very good at teaching beginners like me in a natural and understandable way. Thumbs up👍

Towards the end of your demonstration, I cheered. It's so much fun to listen.❤️

I just got my guitar today and i really like your videos because they're easy to understand

Thanks so much. Actually I'm a beginner and started learning guitar all by myself two months ago. This song is my first choice to learn. I appreciate a lot the way you taught, though at the very beginning I had a lot of difficulty to follow you. Now, I can play it though not perfectly yet. Anyway, I owe you a thank you. Greetings from France.

Thank you, Rob! I really wanted to learn this song because my grandmother's name was Mary, so the lyric "Mother Mary comes to me" is really meaningful to me right now. I'm still working on that walk down! Thanks for the easy-to-follow lesson!

I don't usually write comments but man, your tutorial on this song is so easy and helpful. I just got a guitar and was kind of getting frustrated with it but thanks man this helps me a lot. I'm not giving up!

thank you you are great, i started playing guitar 2 months ago and i find your lessons very easy to follow, appreciate it very much. cheers

just want to say thank you so much for taking the time to put all this together..I just came across your channel tonight and its exactly what I need to learn..will definitely become a patheon subscriber to your channel.

Rob, really well explained lesson. Been trying to learn to play for a while now and this may well be the first song I manage to play all the way through - Thanks

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this easy guitar tutorial of Let It Be! I'm a beginner and I find it easy to follow and learn. May u make more videos like this. God bless!

Great lesson. I like your teaching style, including the lyrics and chords together. Thank you.

The format of the video is appropriate to learn at speed. Thanks and keep the hard work

It's hard to express how helpful this lesson format is for me. I wish I had sang along as I play from the first time I learned to strum a chord or three. Thanks.

K i’ve been blind 37 years play guitar off and on with just a shortlist of your instruction here I picked up the whole song. I gotta remember the lyrics lol thank you😊😮

This channel is awesome even if just for the music. Teaching the way you do is what puts you over the top. Cheers
