=====================================================
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: On the 'HELP!' album 'Yesterday'
is played in G on guitar, but with the full tone
dropped tuning the song then sounds in the key of F
Alternatively, here's a rare live band version video
without any guitar detuning, played in the key of G

DROPPED TUNING: D-G-C-F-A-d
De-tune all the strings a whole tone down
below standard tuning.
Using a chromatic tuner may make this a bit easier

displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression. Just use
the voicings suggested in the text column numbers.
