As a young boy in Liverpool, Paul started out with a trumpet, but soon realized he couldn't sing and play at the same time. So, he traded it in for a Zenith guitar at a local music shop. And just like that, a legend was born!
But even legends have to start somewhere. For Paul, that meant learning chords one by one. He and his friends would travel all over the city, seeking out anyone who could teach them something new. One day, they heard about a guy who knew the B7 chord – a real game-changer!
They hopped on a bus, found the guy, and the rest is history. Armed with B7, Paul and his pals went on to create some of the most beloved songs of all time.
At Instrument Tales, we love stories like this because they remind us that every musician, no matter how famous, started out just like us – with a love for music and a willingness to learn.
So, whether you're a Beatles fan or just picking up your first instrument, remember: everyone has to begin somewhere. And who knows? Your own musical journey might just be the stuff of legends, too!
