As you learn music, you may be interested in knowing how to play "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles on guitar.  The song offers several challenges, with chord and tempo changes that allow a guitarist to practice different playing styles.  The song has sections that are upbeat, as well as somber portions.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKfl7La8R14 

"A Day in the Life" is a compilation of sections written independently by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, along with orchestral additions.http://www.allmusic.com/song/t23450 The song uses different chords for each section, and it is easiest to focus on only one section at a time so as to perfect it before putting the whole song together.

Before practicing "A Day in the Life," you should practice the chords that are used during the song. The positioning of the fingers for these chords is shown in the diagram below.  Practice making each chord on its own, then progress to other chords from the chart that have similar fingering. Once you have practiced these transitions, move on to other chords that may be more difficult for you.http://www.guitarists.net/lessons/view.php?id=281  If you have the guitar tabs or sheet music for "A Day in the Life," you should also review this before playing the song.http://guitarcoaching.com/tips/2.htm 

Remember to perform basic exercises with your fingers prior to playing.  Otherwise, you will not be able to move your fingers easily during your practice session.  You must condition your fingers to be able to make chord transitions and strumming motions.  There are several exercises you can perform to strengthen your fingers to make them more limber.http://www.guitarists.net/lessons/view.php?id=281

You can see in the video above when the chords change and the strumming motion that is required. Watching how other guitarists play can help you learn the various movements they make.  Watch how the instructor strum the strings of the guitar, how they make the chords and progress between chords.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKfl7La8R14

Once you have prepared yourself by exercising your fingers and practicing the individual chords of "A Day in the Life," practice playing the song.  Start off slowly by playing one verse at a time, noting any errors you make.  Move on to other sections of the song until you are playing it completely.  Try to play the complete song during your practice time.  Make notes in a notebook as you practice and review your notes often. Keep practicing so you can master your weaker areas.http://www.guitarlessonsreviews.net/Guitarlearningtips/howtoplaytheguitarbetter.php http://guitarcoaching.com/tips/7.htm
