he learned 3 chords from his uncle, A, D and E. the rest he picked up by himself. He never took singing lessons, but, did go up to the choir when he was a little one and sing with the congregation. He had a God given talent and didn't need to.

Paul McCartney hired a private music teacher, while George Harrison took sitar lessons from Ravi Shankar, after The Beatles became famous. John Lennon supposedly was given a round of accordion lessons as a boy. Lennon and McCartney sometimes got musical pointers from producer George Martin. The rest was learning as they went.

Not at first. Paul McCartney attended some play-in-a-day seminars around Liverpool, but never signed up for lessons. John Lennon learned his first chords from his mother (who had learned them from his father, when they were dating), who played four-string banjo. George Harrison learned guitar on his own from a book, and from watching other Guitarists. Ringo Starr learned drums as he went along.

As adults, McCartney hired a private music teacher, and Harrison took sitar lessons from legendary Indian musician Ravi Shankar. Lennon and McCartney also learned the clawhammer guitar technique from Donovan, when he and the Beatles visited Rishikesh, India in 1968.

No. He learned his first chords from his mother Julia, who'd learned four-string banjo from his father Alfred years earlier. He learned more from Paul McCartney, after they met.
