Slow but steady going.

This author is so fkn shady and catty, I love it. I have a musical background (but not NEARLY to this degree), and the MOLUCULAR LEVEL MUSICAL shadiness MacDonald is capable of is unprecedented. Adds an entire level of enjoyment.

This books takes considerably longer if you stop to try to learn every other song >.> Upside: Beatles are a great way to learn new chords; their songs definitely use a wide variety...

It's going to be v hard to get through this book, because it is a linear follow of every song ever recorded by the Beatles, and my faux CD requires me to listen to every song. Also bizarrely, I seem to KNOW every single song (including the cross references to the groups certain songs were originally taken and covered from.) The Shirelles?? The Cookies???

Embracing my middle-aged whitemandom by reading a book dissecting every single song in the Beatles' discography. : OOOO
