Was John Lennon a good guitarist?

[Aristera]

If you haven't visited the BigO Worldwide site you should. They've been listing (MP3 format) the Purple Chick CD's of the Beatles. You get to hear raw sessions of them from their early years to the recently posted A/B Road Session (1969). Also some John Lennon ( Rock and Roll Deluxe, Off The Wall, and Some Time in NYCSessions. The latest post is George Harrison's All Things must Pass Sessions (3 cd's). Here's a listing of what's available now. John Prine too!

The answer is not a good guitarist, but a great guitarist.

Here's one famous bit of Beatle history, John with a guitar that will go down in history because of John, the Epiphone Casino.





Harrison on the other hand, really interesting mind bending riffs, too look into further...

Gotta ask, was that Yoko under the bed sheet?

Yes. John and Yoko's concept of "Bagism". Given what's been going on in the country this past year, they were ahead of their time:

"Bagism is a satire of prejudice, where by living in a bag a person could not be judged on their bodily appearance. Bagism was created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono as part of their extensive peace campaign in the late 1960s. The intent of bagism was to satirize prejudice and stereotyping. Bagism involved literally wearing a bag over one's entire body. According to John and Yoko, by living in a bag, a person could not be judged by others on the basis of skin colour, gender, hair length, attire, age, or any other such attributes. It was presented as a form of total communication: instead of focusing on outward appearance, the listener would hear only the bagist's message."

Forgot about that!

John was really thought of as a kook back then. I think George Harrison's All Those Years Ago says it all....he really was ahead of his time.
