In this video, I show how to play the chords for "Penny Lane" (McCartney) using
Five-Finger Stradella-Bass Technique, a fingering system created by the late
Clarence Edgar Roberts (1906-1983).

NOTE: For instructional purposes, I do NOT play this in its original key! I start
the song with the chord "GM," NOT the original "BM."

CLARIFICATION ALERT: At 10:30, I should have said "B flat MAJOR 9," NOT "B flat 9."

A Note on "McCartney-isms"
In this video, to demonstrate the McCartney-like progression from one "minor 7th"
chord to another "minor 7th" chord that is positioned at an interval of a "minor
3rd" above or below that first minor 7th chord, I showed those progressions in keys
that are NOT the keys that McCartney originally used. I did this simply to
demonstrate, as clearly as possible, his unusual technique.

In "Here, There, and Everywhere, McCartney actually moves from an "Am7" DOWN to an
"F#m7."
In "Penny Lane," he actually moves from a "G#m7" UP to a "Bm7."
