Never Shout Never
The best thing that ever happened to Christofer Drew was when he broke his foot in 2005. As a young teenager, the Joplin, MO native was a child tennis prodigy, destined for a scholarship at a big-time college and hopefully, a one-way ticket out of the dusty, western Missouri city. But at age 14, with the injury leaving him unable to compete, Drew picked up his father’s battered Carlos guitar and began figuring out chords while listening to cassette tapes of the Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan and the Beatles’
A Hard Days Night and Please Please Me. “The Beatles really helped me out a lot,” Drew says. “I studied the structure with their earlier music. “If I Fell” (from A Hard Day’s Night) was my favorite: the harmonies, the seventh chords. It’s like a circle of chords, changes key in the middle of it and gets back to the original at the end. It’s just amazing.”
