NOWHERE MAN – Guitar Lesson
What a gorgeous song! It has always amazed me how these guys could create such wonderful pieces … seemingly out of "nowhere". Trying to add one more meaningful song to Rubber Soul. John flopped down on his bed … exasperated. Then it came to him; the whole thing, melody, chord, lyrics. Amazing! Here's your Nowhere Man guitar lesson!

He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,

Making all his nowhere plans

Leave it all 'till somebody else

Excellent tutorial. Would love to seem more tunes. Thanks.
Thank you After 64 years Just getting into the Beatles. We had a great Band for many years Lots of Miles Coltrane And lucky for me as the guitarist lots of Santana since I am really a Dorian kind of person. You know the rest Clapton Jeff Beck my favotite and lots of soul music. This is a great change for me as the songs are very structured unlike our jazz fusion stuff. Well thats enough for now I will do some practicing My fav Beatles song so far is ASK ME WHY Bruzzi Herman
I love Ask Me Why as well …. I can imagine it would appeal to you somewhat with those jazz chords George was using to back up the bridge vocal. Welcome!
Thanks Jackson another great one, bit unsure of the riff cant quite get it
