The Beatles are well-known for their key changes, but how often did they actually change key? Well, I decided to find out by going through all of their songs and taking note of not only whether they change key but also what kind of key change we are dealing with. So today I share with you my findings as we explore the wide variety of key changing Beatles songs.


And, an extra special thanks goes to Chase Heeler, Peter Keller, Douglas Lind, Vidad Flowers, Ivan Pang, Waylon Fairbanks, Jon Dye, Austin Russell, Christopher Ryan, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇
