Totally agree. It's my favourite piece of lead guitar ever. And yes there was nothing like it before on the recorded medium but since there gave been milliond Lead breaks up to this point were blues/rock roll riffs. This stripped down version showcases how all 3 guitarists were at the top of their game.
One if the greatest duo guitar leads to ever. Everything the Beatles did was pure genius. They always set the bar high and constantly rose above it. Fantastic song
Revolver set the groundwork for psychedelic rock in the years to come, The Beatles were always ahead of the game. Tomorrow Never Knows still sounds like it came from 2066
After studying classical Indian music for a couple of years I can go back and listen to this song that came out when I was a little kid and see how they use the construction of a raga for the melody of the guitars and the normal way of ending a song in India. phrase times three to the beat string which is a Chikara. Low string here a low E but on a sitar it’s a high string much like a banjo. Just saying they were already doing world music in 1965 courtesy of George studying
Very good point. On the previous album Rubber soul, George was showing his Sitar skills on Norwegian wood. Playing the Sitar would undoubtedly have influenced George in his guitar playing also. As this was a duet, it was never made clear Paul's influence in the composition either. It's often thought that the whole Beatles and India thing was around 1968. But Norwegian wood just shows you how George anyway was deeply involved in it by 1965.This is my favourite lead break ever!
@@chrissygerwitz520 Very true, but I suspect that *Smith Js* was referring to the drums (especially the prominent punch of the kick drum) heard during the verses on this isolated track.
People just don't seem to realize how great of a guitar player John Lennon was his writing and composing capability overshadowed his actual musical talent
@@edscerbo That is most certainly John playing the tremolo toned rhythm behind them. And he is making a fine show of it in his usual brilliant way of playing in a highly imitable and funky style.
Ich mochte den Song schon immer richtig gut leiden und hören....bis ich herausfand ,dass er genau an dem Tag und in der Stunde (26.04.1966) im Studio aufgenommen wurde. :-D. Seitdem höre ich ihn immer zu meinem Geburtstag.
The Applesauce Project You're absolutely right. I'm pretty sure all 3 Beatle guitarists used their casinos on this song. Paul and George on lead, and John on rhythm.
@@LeChaunce in the final studio version, but there's a clearly audible 12-string guitar playing arpeggios throughout the verses in the early takes. It really was a nice touch but one can see why it wasn't neccesary. This song is guitar perfection.
The guitar lines demonstrate more of Bach's Brandenburg influence on Paul. Dual harmony leads being yet another Beatle innovation. Among my top favorite Beatles songs.
And Your Bird Can Sing" You tell me that you've got everything you want And your bird can sing But you don't get me, you don't get me You say you've seen Seven Wonders and your bird is green But you can't see me, you can't see me When your prized possessions start to weigh you down Look in my direction, I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round When your bird is broken will it bring you down You may be awoken, I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round You tell me that you've heard every sound there is And your bird can swing But you can't hear me, you can't hear me
McCartney played quite a bit of guitar in their recordings. It was only on their last record of Abbey Road they ever really at the very end showed who was who by the different playing styles and sound that you can hear which was Paul and which was George. Don't forget Clapton was the Guitar player on " My guitar gently weeps " and uncredited. Even the Lennon - McCartney duo of who actually wrote what is still a bit of a mystery.
It isn't a mystery. It's incredibly well clarified which were Lennon or McCartney songs. In respect of lead, we know exactly where McCartney contributed and again, no mystery. All well documented.
Paul said that Bach was their main classical inspiration. But, Bach was one of Beethoven's many inspirations and there are traits from both, so I think either is fair.
Great lead guitar parts. Funny enough the main riff is basically just the descending and ascending E major scale (Do Re Mi) with the other guitar playing the 3rd (mostly).
The gallery spoke basically that The Beatles like first laid down the dual guitar thing, Check out The Rolling Stones cover of Chuck Berry's You Can't Catch Me. Mindblowing the 2 guitars on that. listen hard to it. This AYBCS is wonderful don't get me wrong not a contest.
Actually both of them are influenced by themselves first roger was inspired by george harrison Rickenbacker 360/12 then roger inspired george harrison a song called if i needed someone guitar parts
This is the legit studio track, most of the instrument bleed were filtered out using some frequency separation but you can still hear some of the drums
Rosemarie Tinsley this music is from a band that originated back in the 1960’s. They did have a chance, and they were and still are world famous. Do some goddamn research or gtfo.

The greatest jingle jangle song ever
I never got why this song wasn’t touted as a watershed moment in rock music and guitar playing.
Hopefully you get it now.
really, probably inspired the Eagles' Hotel California double lead solo..
@Mike Lewis It's a song. A great great song.
I don't get or believe in the idea of "just an album cut".

only a genius can come up with this kind of counter melody.
oh yeah
I love the guitar part but it wouldn’t be called “counter melody,” it’s 2 lines in constant harmony, sharing the exact same rhythm
@@dpaul428 a counter melody to the melody of the song
Love them ringy, chimey electric sounds.
Yeh same. Pretty much all of the Beatles songs in ‘66 featured that ringy jangly guitar tone which sound so good.

Some, many really, say it was the invention of the dual guitar lead.

Mine too. Hardly any casual fan even knows about it

how exactly does the melody have raga characteristics? It seems to lack the dissonance imo for it to be raga, i was just a bit confused about that
Musicologists have identified classical European influences in the melody, not Indian.

And this is just an example why The Bealtes rhythm section is so solid.
Rhythm guitar (and lead guitar) are not part of the rhythm section.
@@chrissygerwitz520 Very true, but I suspect that *Smith Js* was referring to the drums (especially the prominent punch of the kick drum) heard during the verses on this isolated track.
@@ahcapella I doubt it, but his claim is true enough - the Beatles rhythm section is where the band got their exciting driving beat from.
The guitars are why I love this song. And I'm not even a 'guitar person'.
Well maybe you are😉
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...PERFECT....AREAL GENIOUS THE BIGGEST BAND OF THE WORLD....!!!!!!!!
The Beatles were way ahead back in the day, even now I can't stop listening.
Love this song. Those guitars sound fantastic.
If I had to pick ONE favorite Beatles song this is it!
This song reminds of the cartoon tv show they had and visions of them always running from somebody.
Bert Getner
Yes!! Great memories!!😃
The Beatles forever.
Great great guitars and great song as usual
I’m counting four four with the broadest smile on my face…some music may equal this but it doesn’t get better.
Great job! One of my favorite Beatle tunes. You earned my follow with this one!
This song literally created The Jam
Brilliant sound and playing!!
Too freaken cool!!!
People just don't seem to realize how great of a guitar player John Lennon was his writing and composing capability overshadowed his actual musical talent
The guitars on this were mainly George and Paul.
@@edscerbo That is most certainly John playing the tremolo toned rhythm behind them. And he is making a fine show of it in his usual brilliant way of playing in a highly imitable and funky style.
@@edscerbo the riff. But John played the rhythm part, which was great.

So great
How gnarly.
Genius at work.
I absolutely adore their 'mid' period....
who sang along?

My bird
Sheer...genius!

George's 12 string makes the song have that beautiful "ring" to it.
George is playing his Epiphone Casino, not any of his 12-strings. Paul's playing the harmony part on his own Epiphone Casino.

@@yassassin6425 in the early takes

I miss George.
I think John was the one that came up with this one
@@garysnow1475 yes...but it doesn't change the fact that I miss George.❤
john’s part is so punchy it almost sounds like it has side chain compression on it or something. it’s like jolting awake with every strum, i love it.
Splendid example of how George Harrison could take a good song and re-created it into something great.
His contribution was essential .
0:53 ROCK N ROLL 🤘🏻
This sounds surprisingly muddy...but still heavenly.
It's the original template. So far I haven't heard any Beatles tribute band nail down the exact progression of guitar fill that is heard here.
Fantástico! Uma das minhas favoritas. Uma obra de arte!!!
This should have a picture of George. I'm just sayin', lol.
"Just sayin" went out in the 90s with "lol" -- just sayin, lol.

Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Unexpected. Great part with George Martin’s fingerprints. He’d still be playing something cool today if he was around. Have a beer on me!
Paul and George wrote the guitar arrangement
I knew that had to be McCartney playing, but don't know what part Paul does and what part George does.
I think Paul plays the Higher part
@@jaydenwhitlen1489 I think so too.
@@jaydenwhitlen1489 Yeah, that's the general consensus.
Maybe Paul played both parts.
@@Bob12369 Maybe
That get together with the Byrds and Peter Fonda resulted in some great songs from John.

You say you've seen Seven Wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me
When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round
When your bird is broken will it bring you down

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

Yes, but the vast majority of lead was George.

Thats great

Imagine hearing this and then saying OK that’s good, let’s add something else to it
Amazing photos! Where did they come from?
It's John from the music videos for Paperback Writer and Rain
Beethoven written all over that riff.
Paul said that Bach was their main classical inspiration. But, Bach was one of Beethoven's many inspirations and there are traits from both, so I think either is fair.
Luv his flower power shairte
YES.
Is there a credible record of what the exact guitars were that each were using on this? All of that should have been recorded like a ship's log.
Great lead guitar parts. Funny enough the main riff is basically just the descending and ascending E major scale (Do Re Mi) with the other guitar playing the 3rd (mostly).

Stones was in 64
Is there two or one guitars doing the riff, I'm struggling with the melody of ine can't tske if its one guitar doing them
Yep the lead has high and low riff parts I believe that it was double tracked
@@johnbriancatedrilla4028 Two guitars. I've seen it done with one, not that smooth though..
Ask Joe Walsh
Can you do Imagine only vocals?
It is on youtube
Don't be thick!!!
Goerge plays lead. John plays rhythm. Which one is playing this intro?
They did this on the animated Beatles cartoon show.
definitely influenced by the Byrds
Actually both of them are influenced by themselves first roger was inspired by george harrison Rickenbacker 360/12 then roger inspired george harrison a song called if i needed someone guitar parts
