John was more familiar with the banjo chords, since he was taught to play guitar by his mom, who only knew how to play banjo. But\u00a0during an early show at Conservative Club in Liverpool McCartney realized he wasn\u2019t the right person to play guitar in the band.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe had this gig and it was like, the first thing I ever played, and I was lead guitar player. John was rhythm,\u201d he shared. \u201cAnd I had a solo and I totally froze. Could not move my fingers. &#8230; It was, like, just so embarrassing.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He added, \u201cMy lead-guitar-playing career melted at that moment and I said, \u2018Well, I\u2019m not doing this again.
