Which song by the Beatles shows Chet Atkins' influence?

  • All My Loving

  • Hey Jude

  • Yesterday

  • Let It Be

Answer

"All My Loving" showcases Chet Atkins' influence on the Beatles. Atkins, a renowned guitarist, popularized the "Travis picking" technique, characterized by alternating bass notes with melody notes. In "All My Loving," George Harrison's guitar playing incorporates this technique, creating a distinctive rhythmic and melodic interplay that echoes Atkins' style. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody further demonstrate the Beatles' admiration for Atkins' country-influenced guitar work.
