They just figured it out as they went a long. As innovators that would be the Studio work. They grew as they grew. They didn't fail. They were just kids when they they started.Yep. I found it useful to learn their really old stuff because like me at that point they were not all that good LOL.
I remember sitting next to a record player and playing the Stone's "heart of stone" song over and over until I could figure it out. As well as other songs.
That was before the internet and Youtube.
That's exactly what they did. Listen to a record. figure out the chords and play it till they had it. All the Hamburg stuff was covers. Nothing original.
A lot of popular rock and roll songs can be more easily learnedly by listening to the old more simple versions from the original black musicians.
Those and B sides of R & B artists.
