Eight Days A Week by The Beatles – Guitar Tab
Why I Like This Tab
The tab for “Eight Days A Week” by The Beatles is an absolute joy to play, and not just because it’s a classic. It’s a perfect illustration of how a few simple chords can be woven together to create a catchy, memorable tune. The tabbed intro riff is a fun challenge, a nifty little piece of guitar work that’s satisfying when you nail it. Plus, the standard tuning and absence of a capo keep things accessible. Basically, this tab offers a great balance of fun and challenge, making it an excellent pick for a casual jam session or practice.
Practice Tip
Take your time with the intro riff, it’s a bit tricky and it’s the kind of thing that’s easy to rush. Try to break it down slowly, note by note, before putting it all together. And remember, it’s not about speed, it’s about getting the right feel and timing. Don’t be afraid to repeat it over and over until you get it right – patience and repetition are key when it comes to mastering this part of the song.
Genre & Difficulty
This tab is obviously rooted in classic rock, but it’s also got a bit of a pop sensibility thanks to its catchy melody. That said, it’s not overly complex, so intermediate players should find it enjoyable and not too difficult. If you’re a beginner, don’t shy away either. It might take a bit more time, but it’s a great song to build up your skills with. As a bonus, Beatles fans of any skill level will likely get a kick out of playing this iconic tune.
