Infuse your playing with the powerful soul-rock of our great new GuitarPort cover of "Don't Let Me Down" by the Beatles. Just added for beginners, a new Chapter in our 'How To Play Guitar' series, and if you missed it last week, be sure to check out our lesson on how-to-play "Pump It Up" by Elvis Costello.

The Beatles - Hey Jude

Cover: Don't Let Me Down

Called everything from one of the Beatles most powerful love songs to one of their most underrated, John Lennon wrote this anguished love song about his soon-to-be wife Yoko Ono. The soulfulness of the song is accented by the electric keyboard of the "temporary fifth Beatle", Billy Preston. This song has been covered by many artists since it's release in 1969 - Annie Lennox, Pretenders, Paul Weller, Phil Lesh & Friends, Matchbox 20 & Maroon 5, just to name a few.

Lesson: Pump It Up : Learn to Play

Along with his newly formed band, The Attractions, a Jazzmaster, and a new record label, Elvis set about rocking America and produced one of his most popular songs, "Pump It Up".
