He’s the kind of artist you’d even find in textbooks, so I’m sure even younger people know him.

Among his works, one that’s especially perfect for autumn is “Once Upon a Long Ago.” It’s crafted as a folk song with a wistful air.

The strong reverb gives it a touch of fantasy amid its mature, subdued tone.

Be sure to give it a listen.

Wonderful Christmas TimePaul McCartney & Wings21rank/position

This is a Christmas song by Paul McCartney of the Beatles.

While John Lennon’s Christmas song carries a stronger message, this one is a simple tune about the joy of Christmas.

Its clear, catchy melody showcases Paul’s signature style, making it perfect for livening up the holiday.

The chords use many barre shapes, so it’s a bit challenging, but because there are many repeated sections, once you memorize it you should be able to play it comfortably.
