I've been strumming Beatle's songs and am just amazed. They use weird 7th chords, sus4th chords, m6th chords, 7sus4th chords and so on! where are these coming from? and the way they match the melody is just sublime! i want to understand this stuff...where should i turn? any help would be greatly appreciated.

in simple terms the fashion of the chords in any certain key. because you're playing guitar , shall we study E significant. your progression is I-IV-I-V so that you want the first, 4th, and fifth degrees of scale E F# G# A B C# D# E as you'll discover , your progression includes the chords: E-A-E-B Chord I = E G# B Chord IV= A C# E Chord V= B D# F# the great thing about utilising numbers is that your progression will be performed in any key

paul mccartney was responsible for most of that, the chords went with the melody lines. it is strange him being a bass player most of the time. i did notice tho, that a lot of the lines he played had kind of a classical progression to them. try looking there.
