Paul McCartney recalls 'embarrassing' on-stage moment that changed his future with the Beatles
Fox News
Paul McCartney recalled the "embarrassing" moment that "melted" his career as the Beatles' lead guitarist when he "totally froze" during one of the band's early gigs.
McCartney explained that he was good at playing the guitar while "at home" and bandmate John Lennon's aunt, Mimi Smith, used to tell him that he was "much better than John."

"Mind you, when I first met John, he played banjo chords," McCartney remembered. "He didn’t play guitar, ‘cause I had to show him guitar chords because he’d been taught by his mum [Julia Lennon], and she only knew banjo chords."
