The Beatles: Music Roots delves into the influences behind the Fab Four’s early hits, analysing and teaching you to play the songs that Lennon and McCartney learned, played and loved. Each song is arranged for piano, voice and guitar, accompanied with extensive notes on its history and recording.

Through these songs we uncover the story of British post-war youth demanding a musical revolution and finding through American Soul, R&B and Rock ‘n’ Roll. The Beatles would revolutionise popular music, but they first learned their craft from the dazzling electric guitar of Les Paul and the soulful struggles of Ray Charles; the anarchistic rock of Little Richard and harmonious hope of The Miracles. All of these artists played their part in The Beatles phenomenon. This book explains why.
