Bridge pickup, into a clean loud fender tube amp

Ernie ball pure nickel rock n roll 11

@@sampopkin do you think those strings will sound pretty similar without an amp? i'm trying to get that sound but I don't have an amp atm 😅

@@Favretier well it’s never going to get that electrified sound without an amp. But so many Beatles songs used the same guitar just as an acoustic

Yes! One of my favorites too

hehe

That's a good point, but I want to say there are still some differences in construction, material

Did you see Guitar Gear Connection's video on the Beatles' strings? He makes a pretty compelling case for most of their guitars using roundwound strings based on his research. Like John putting Gibson Sonomatic strings (roundwound) on his 1958 325 after installing the Bigsby, or George actually using Gretsch-branded roundwound string sets on his Gretsches.

​@@mr_bassman6685John and George both used factory flat wound strings on their rickenbacker guitars.

Flats are better in general

the band actually preferred to use factory strings rather than picking and choosing what they liked. in fact, the only times the really replaced strings was when they broke

⁠@@unotheangel1134They didn’t have techs or anything like that. Funny to think how the biggest band to ever exist really only had a couple guys in their crew. Just the way it was back then. Of course, flats last a lot longer than rounds.

yes! I used to play bass a lot... I tried flatwounds and never looked back. Especially as they got older and older.

I don’t usually do tabs because I learn by ear. You can message me on insta or Facebook if you want paid for tabs I could make

You’re right that they started the song in D, and then John capo’d at 2nd fret when they moved the song up to E But Paul and George on lead had to have been WITHOUT capos because you hear the open Low E string note in their solos

​ @sampopkin Makes sense. Your video saved time. I copped the missing part less than minute. -Thanks. You did it perfect. I'm old. Saving time is worthwhile. Alas, KZfaq players seldom afford me this luxury. You are unusual. When I look for a part online, I often end up frustrated & giving someone else a lesson. Ugh. Most people are simply not using their EARS. Theory; I grew up poor. I could afford a diatonic harp. I could afford to sing. The Beach Boys taught me harmony. We had a fair spinet piano. I started playing boogie woogie at five. There was ONE piece of sheet music in the piano bench. This was ; -"As played by, Ella Mae Morse & Freddie Slack". We also the 78 RPM. I learned from the 78 & matched this to the sheet music. Boogie woogie is 1-4-5., hence, came The Blues. I got Slim Harpo and LIttle Walter from a local radio station. The only problem I had was trying to get their sound. I had no knowledge of amplifiers. If I wanted to play music, I had to use my ears. Rich kids, with lessons and instruments don't seem to develop the same way. Perhaps, they have too many toys? It makes no sense, but what else can one think? Thanks again for the lesson, keep 'em coming. Can you dissect the earlier Nat Cole Trio sides? How about Lady Day's swing sides? -30s and 40s. The Brunswick & Vocalion sides are best. I can fall in naturally with many of the sides, but ones like "No Regrets" are more difficult. It took me weeks to get Dick McDonough's part right. Fake books are not written for such versions.

@@BixLives32 Nat King Cole would be interesting to dissect. I do offer zoom lessons if you’re ever interested I think that passion for learning and using your ears/common sense goes such a long way

It's one of the few post 64 songs where we know exactly what guitar was used for the solo, because George Martin wrote out the notes and it said fender-solo. Yeah the Tennessean Hi-Lo Trons are insanely different from the Gent's FIltertrons. Not only single coils for the hilo's, but super low output and bright
