No band has inspired more people to play guitar than The Beatles – the greatest, biggest and most influential band of all time. And so – to coincide with the long-awaited premiere of the three-part documentary series Get Back – TG presents The 50 Greatest Beatles Guitar Songs, as voted by you in a recent poll on GuitarWorld.com.

There were so many to choose from. I Feel Fine, with its groundbreaking use of feedback. A Hard Day’s Night, with that mythic opening chord. Helter Skelter, when the Fab Four turned it up to 11. Blackbird, one of the most perfect acoustic songs ever recorded. And Something, the classic ballad that marked George Harrison as a songwriter to rival John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and in which George delivered what was arguably the greatest solo he ever played.

The top 50 countdown features in-depth analysis of every song from TG writers Grant Moon, Ellie Rogers and our former Editor Tim Tucker, a writer, musician and respected authority on The Beatles as host of the podcast My Favourite Beatles Song, which celebrates the music of the Fab Four with distinguished guests.

Tim also reveals 10 Great Beatles Guitar Moments You’ve Never Heard Before – lost treasures unearthed on the newly-released super-deluxe edition of the band’s final album Let It Be.

And while the pioneering quartet took us all on a Magical Mystery Tour, we take you on a magical gear tour in our profile of the now-iconic guitars and amps used by the band.
