This is the full fingerstyle guitar lesson for Don’t Let Me Down by The Beatles.
Although credited Lennon/McCartney it was John that wrote this beautiful song. With Billy Preston’s fills in-between Lennon’s vocals and George’s perfectly crafted lines during the bridge, this is (to me at least!) one of the band’s best and most powerful songs.
This arrangement is pretty hard and I don’t recommend it for beginners but it’s really great fun to play.
