We've all seen that iconic video of George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr Sitting in the park playing 'Ain't She Sweet', right? Did you ever wonder what was so distinctive about george's playing? In this lesson we'll decode that right hand and see that he was really giving a nod to one of his own musical Idols: George Formby. George Harrison was making great use of Formby's Thumb Roll Triple as well as Split stroke throughout the song. What if you just want to strum along with the chords? I've got you covered there as well :)
