I Should Have Known Better.


B7 Chord

I have been teaching the Beatles' song, "I Should Have Known Better" for about two years now. It wasn't until last week that I made a bit of a misjudgment on the one chord that is the pivot chord between the bridge and chorus/verse sections.

Before last week, I was teaching people that the chord in question is a B Major barre chord. This chord is monstrously difficult to finger [I will be writing more about this chord and it's many finger permutations in a future post]. It turns out that I wasn't listening hard enough. Instead, the Beatles are playing a B7 chord. This is much easier! Whoops. Sorry to everyone I've taught this song to and messed up on. Heh!
