Here Comes The Sun - Verse, Chorus & Turnaround


"Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles is one of the most recognized acoustic-driven songs in rock history, written by George Harrison. Learning its verse, chorus, and turnaround sections gives electric guitar players a thorough understanding of how Harrison balanced melodic fingerpicking with chord movement. The song's clear sectional structure, verse, chorus, and a distinctive turnaround, makes it an excellent study piece for guitarists exploring song form and expressive, melodic playing.

  • George Harrison wrote this song, making it a key study in his melodic, chord-melody style of guitar playing.
  • The turnaround section is particularly valuable to learn, as it demonstrates how a short phrase can link song sections smoothly.
  • Understanding verse-chorus-turnaround structure helps guitarists apply the same framework to writing and arranging their own songs.

George Harrison's sonic blue 1961 Stratocaster delivered the ice-pick treble leads on Rubber Soul sessions, its standard Fender single-coils cutting through the mix with brilliant clarity. The Strat's bright tone contrasted beautifully with the warm Filter'Trons of his Gretsch guitars, expanding The Beatles' textural range.

Harrison's rosewood Telecaster provided twangy, biting cleans during the iconic 1969 rooftop concert, its simplicity and directness fitting The Beatles' stripped-down live approach. The Tele's sharp attack complemented the Vox AC30, delivering punchy midrange definition without the need for studio processing.

Vox AC30

The Vox AC30 with top-boost was the sonic foundation of The Beatles' signature chime, delivering harmonically rich cleans with natural compression when pushed at moderate volume. Close-miked in Abbey Road studios from 1962 through 1965, it captured clarity and presence that defined their recorded tone without excessive breakup.
