Paul McCartney says he keeps forgetting how to play Beatles songs

Sir Paul McCartney has admitted that he can’t remember how to play all the Beatles songs, after penning some of the most celebrated songs in history.

The music icon, 77, says he has to rely on bandmates and listen to some of the deeper cuts that he hasn’t played in a while, with the Fab Four’s back catalogue dating back some 55 years.

“I have to re-learn everything. I’ve written an awful lot, you can’t retain them all. We go in rehearsal and I’m, ‘Oh yeah, that’s how it goes,’” McCartney told The Mirror.

And while he has worked on over 1,000 songs, he believes that most of them have stood the test of time.

When asked if he thinks his songs are “pretty good,” he replied: “I do, I really do. Some of the old songs you say, ‘Oh, that’s clever, I wouldn’t have done that’. It’s exciting to think that still works. We were a little rock and roll group from Liverpool, it just kept going.”……..read more
