One thing (among many) that I admire about Abbey Road is how utterly tasteful the synth playing is. I can only imagine the temptation they faced, to use the new toy for anything and everything. Maybe the fact that the Moog was such a pain in the neck helped to keep that temptation in check.
I still don’t get why the other Beatles hated this song. I mean, working on something for a while can leave a bad taste, but the end result for this is amazing.
George, the Fab Four's long-suffering secret weapon, had sure come a long way from playing recycled Carl Perkins riffs by 1969. If only the Beatles hadn't fallen apart, and if
It’s likely been said before, but thank goodness the Beatles had George and not Eric, Jimi, Jeff or all those guitar heroes. They would have butchered things. George had the humility and musicianship. That’s lost on a lot of guitar enthusiasts, in my humble opinion. There is a reason the Beatle tunes hold up when many others are largely forgotten. Same goes for RINGO.
"The worst session ever was 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer.' It was the worst track we ever had to record. It went on for fucking weeks. I thought it was mad." - Ringo
i've been told it's about 4 guitars playing in harmony. paul and george playing them as overdubs. Paul on his epiphone casino, George on his rosewood telecaster, possibly on a leslie speaker cabinet

This is some really genius guitar work by George

That Moog sounds incredible

Could you isolate the anvil? Lol
Ive always wished that at least one of the Beatles would have heavily gotten into synths post Beatles.
Do the same thing but with here comes the Sun (isolated moog)

It's like admiring the stitching in the lining of a particularly gaudy suit.
