The Beatles – Hey Bulldog

Included on the album Yellow Submarine.

It’s often said that all the new Beatles songs provided for this animated film were half-hearted, but this one stands out brilliantly, and it seems to have many fans.

In Japan, its riff was imitated for the theme song of the TV drama Taiyo ni Hoero! (Roar at the Sun!).

Birthday – The Beatles Piano Tutorial

Featuring a cool, lively rock ’n’ roll-style guitar riff, “Birthday” is a track from the Beatles’ 1968 album The Beatles.

The intro riff might be more famous than the melody itself.

Since it’s a straightforward song for celebrating birthdays, it’s perfect for showing off some rhythmic, punchy piano at a birthday party.

The key, of course, is the main riff: play it in unison with both hands, and note the point where only the left hand plays in the second measure.

From the A section onward, the left hand basically continues with the main riff, alternating with the right-hand melody—a defining characteristic of the arrangement.

In the middle section, hammer out the repeated eighth notes with powerful dynamism—as if you’re getting everyone at the party up and dancing!

THE BEATLES – AND I LOVE HER | SLOW & EASY PIANO TUTORIAL

“And I Love Her,” included on the 1964 album A Hard Day’s Night, is a song that sings of devoted love for a beloved girlfriend.

Paul McCartney has said it was “the first song I was really proud of,” and despite being a love song, it has no affectation—just a plain, simple charm.

Precisely because of that, when paired with the delicate tones of the piano, it takes on a wistful atmosphere that seems to seep deep into the heart.

Please enjoy performing it while savoring its unadorned melody.

Eight Days a WeekThe Beatles27rank/position

The Beatles – Eight Days A Week

Eight Days a Week is a track included on the Beatles’ fourth UK original album, Beatles for Sale.

The U.S.

single release reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and it’s also known as the first pop song to incorporate a fade-in.

With its simple melody and relaxed tempo, it’s very easy to sing, and the vocal range isn’t wide, so it’s recommended even for those not accustomed to singing Western pop.

However, be mindful that if you don’t pay attention to the springy feel of the shuffle beat, you won’t capture the original vibe.

Nowhere Man (Remastered 2009)

Nowhere Man, a song featured in the 1968 film Yellow Submarine, was originally included on the Beatles’ sixth UK studio album, Rubber Soul.

Its philosophical lyrics make a strong impression.

Adding harmonies like in the original changes the vibe, so it’s a number you’ll definitely want to sing with friends.
