Honestly, the Beatles didn't alter their chord structures for the music of their psychedelic period. They would experiment with instrumentations, reverb, amplification, backwards tapes, tapespeed control, and that sort of thing, but the chord structures for the most part remained the rock 'n' roll and British music hall chords that they'd used all along.

The one exception to this would be that George Harrison's flirtation with Indian raga introduced some Eastern melodic modes into their sound. You can hear that in some of the melodies (particularly George's songs) and a number of the guitar solos from Revolver through the early 1968 sessions. That didn't have a lasting impact on their work, however. By the time the boys did the White Album, Eastern influences were pretty much history with the band's music.

That's a good way to attract attention.

John and Paul adopted a finger picking style of guitar playing that Donovan taught them during their trip to India and it is evident on the "White Album".

like the reverend said... they didn't really alter their chords much... it's not like they were experimenting with alternate tunings... it's just your basic major and minor chord shapes...

Yeah. I hear a lot of basic triads. Not many extended chords, 9ths and 11ths etc.

like the rev said, they were just expirementing mostly with different instruments, different recording teqniques and so on, with looping, reverses, echos..... most of the songs on the white album can not even be played live, they were simply ment to be cool songs made in the studio, chords didn't change much, get some beatles sheet music if you want to see the chords for a partiular song.
