    Amazing, beautiful example of a rock n roll guitar solo. George Harrison is one of the greats.

    That solo was Lennon's version, this was the album version, Harrison played the thinner telecaster solo normally shown in other tutorials on the single version, the reason? Producer Phil Spector preferred Lennon's "live" sounding version.
    Several of the Beatles guitar breaks are thought to be Harrison's when in fact they are played by Lennon and in some instances McCartney, Lennon and Harrison's solos are easily differentiated, especially in the later years, as Lennon's solos tended to have a little more attack on the opening notes. One track which remains dubious is that of Hey Bulldog where both musicians solos were tested but no-one seems to know for sure who played the one which found its way onto vinyl. Get back I think the solo was played by Lennon and on the abbey road album "the End" had all 3 outfield musicians each taking a solo. Hope this Helps.

    • @igordisco
      @igordisco 6 років тому +3

      Man,
      There is no chance that John Lennon has played the solo of Let It Be.
      He was a bass player with Fender 6 on this song. Harrison did the solo, with different guitars, and different versions.

    • @carlbaumeister3439
      @carlbaumeister3439 6 років тому +2

      I agree. If Daddy Bear has some substantiation, I'll gladly take a look, but I think this solo was a bit beyond John's skill level. True, Lennon did become a decent soloist towards the end of The Beatles' run (such as nice solos on "Honey Pie" and "Get Back," but the "Let it Be" solo was more complex, and demonstrated a fuller fretboard knowledge. @@igordisco
