TARGET Members will have any Charts, TAB, and Guitar Pro Files
The version of Something on Abbey Road is done in the key of C, modulating to A for the bridge. This arrangement we are looking at is based on George’s acoustic guitar demo of the song that was released on The Beatles Anthology III. This version is probably how George played it for his wife, Patti, in their kitchen in 1968. We are playing in the key of A, modulating to F# for the bridge. The intro riff, or melody is much easier to play in this key and leads me to believe that this is the key George wrote it in, if he wrote it on guitar. There are conflicting stories about this. Most composers who play the guitar tend to write things that lay comfortably under the fingers on the fretboard.
Agreed across the board, would love to hear your take on the lead

I see why this is a 'level 7'. Love the song- but don't think I'm ready for it yet. Very tough chords & changes.
I'll be back!!
