Is it true that you can play every Beatles song with just three chords and what are these chords?

Answer 1

Though it might sound more complicated to the untrained ear, most songs out there are in 4/4 beat and made of only a couple of chords. The ones that I've found most useful are A, E, D, F, C, and E2. You can find these by simply searching "How do I play ___ chord?" on Google or another search engine. The Beatles, like many other bands, reused their favorite chords. These, I think, are A, D, and E. Honestly, however, you probably are not going to be able to play all of their songs with only these three. You can play probably 20 of their approximately 300 songs with A, D, and E. These are a great set of chords to start out with, though!

For your conviencence, here are a few (18) that can be played with A, E, and D.

To find the chord progression and fingering for these, just look them up on a good guitar chord website like Ultimate-Guitar.com, GuitarETab.com, or YourChords.com.
