Paul McCartney Forgot How to Play The Beatles' 'A Hard Day's Night' Correctly
Paul McCartney admitted he has played The Beatles‘ “A Hard Day’s Night” incorrectly in recent years. In the same vein, he explained why he plays the song wrong. Notably, he revealed what it was like for him to listen to “A Hard Day’s Night.”
During a 2018 interview with GQ, Paul discussed playing “A Hard Day’s Night” incorrectly. “People aren’t you, and they don’t experience it,” he said.
“People haven’t written 300 songs,” he added. “And that’s just with John. They haven’t written … too many songs. So you don’t remember them.”
Paul revealed his band didn’t know how to play the song’s opening chord either when Paul started playing the song again in 2016. “Nobody knows what that chord is,” he said. “It’s a mystical chord.”
Paul discussed his band’s reaction to this conundrum. “We had to investigate it,” he recalled. “I said, ‘I think it’s this,'” Paul then played his guitar. “That’s sort of like it,” he opined. “But it’s not.”
