In this video

Here's how to play 'A Hard Days Night' by The Beatles - including how to play the famous mystery opening chord.

We'll cover this on both a 12 string and 6 string guitar. The original 12 string was played on a Grestch 12 string electric by George Harrison. I only have an acoustic 12 string, so I went for an all acoustic tutorial.
