I was listening to "Penny Lane" in my car today...And realized that almost every darn time I listen to the Beatles songs I hear something new, I mean
I've heard 'em since they came out, but there is always something fresh to hear in the song. Then I realized that VERY FEW of there songs are strictly guitars, drums and vocals only. And their lyrics are very pop with that english rhyme scheme. Well, anyway my point is that, It is ok to experiment with different instruments. Guitar songs can get old fast, mix in some piano or clavinet instead of guitar. Chords are chords but they sound fuller as strings or horns or something other than electric guitar. Vocals can be layered or harmonized to give more depth. And for a 2 minute song those guys knew how to get to the chorus.
