Thanks @wmvansise8797 and Eric Mason for lending me this Fender Rosewood Telecaster!

This is the studio version of Don't Let Me Down that was released as the B-side to Get Back, and was on the Hey Jude compilation album in 1970. It was not recorded live on the rooftop, but in the basement of 3 Savile Row on January 28th, 1969, two days before the famous rooftop concert
The song was recorded live in the studio, but John and Paul overdubbed their vocals later in February 1969. George Harrison's backing vocal was removed from this single release. The backing track consisted of a classic Beatles lineup- John on rhythm guitar, George on lead guitar, Ringo on drums, and Paul on his Hofner bass
John used his 1965 Epiphone Casino into a Fender Silverface Twin Reverb amp. Like many songs during these sessions, John was on the bridge pickup position and rolled the tone knob way down. This created a bassy drone, as heard on I've Got a Feeling and Dig a Pony. I'm using my 2021 Epiphone Casino USA into my 1974 Fender Silverface Pro Reverb. The tone knob is rolled down on the bridge pickup, and I'm using an Analogman King of Tone as a boost pedal
Here are my settings for John's guitar:
King of Tone- boost side
Pro Reverb- vibrato channel
Vol- 3.3
Treb- 6
Bass- 2.9
George used his 1968 Fender Rosewood Telecaster on the neck pickup into a Fender Twin Reverb. He used the vibrato channel's tremolo effect. I'm using a 2010's Fender made-in-japan Rosewood Telecaster into the '74 Pro Reverb's vibrato channel
Here are my settings for George's guitar:
Pro Reverb- vibrato channel
Vol- 3.1
Treb- 6.5
Bass- 3
Speed- 3.5
Intensity- 8.5
Interesting notes about their playing:
0:26 George plays the riff a hair late
0:53 George does a double stop B to Csharp but picks the higher strings instead
1:15 John plays F#m7 for first time, he does this for the rest of the choruses
My Gear:
2010's Fender MIJ Rosewood Telecaster
2021 Epiphone Casino USA Royal Tan
Analogman King of Tone
1974 Fender Pro Reverb
