One for the musicians and Beatles fans

Maybe I hadn't mentioned it but I have played guitar since I was 13 (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) and being that old of course I grew up listening to the Beatles (also listened to the Stones but I liked the Beatles better) ... my son (another guitar player) found this article the other day and sent it to me.

Basically it explains how a mathematician FINALLY figured out the opening chord to Hard Days Night, the freaking chord that has driven more than one guitar player OUT OF THEIR MIND trying to reproduce.

Jerry Garcia got pretty close a few times in the late 70's

Also, if you are a George Harrison fan check out the DVD A Concert For George, it was a show that Clapton did with a great group of musicians that is amazing. Ravi Shankar and his daughter do a unbelievable Indian set that will leave you shaking your head.
