    I played an Abbey Road tribute show and attempted to learn George's guitar parts in the choruses of Maxwell's Silver Hammer. I concluded it was two guitar tracks with each guitar playing different double-stops. I was convinced once I recorded it myself at home.

    Once again i am enlightened with 'Beatle' talk re: The playing /recording of the music and personalities that made me wanting to play guitar's (etc)....AND how it was recorded. i would listen to one speaker at a time,and try to imagine what sized room they were playing in ...and also slow down the records and listen too. Great stuff then , that still sounds and feels great. I was to replace a valve in a toilet today ,but, i HAD to listen/watch this......i can fix the toilet later. this was awesome.....and lucky for me i have almost all the WAVES plugins.

    "Something" guitar solo is in my all time top 5, possibly in at #2. Also my favorite Beatles song (A Day in the Life in at #2). Revolver is my favorite album, Abbey Road in at #2.

This question is sorta out of context but would it be possible to do a breakdown of the Black Veil Bride’s “Carolyn”? The lyrics “you’re not alone, we’ll brave this storm” are so pertinent at this time, as was the breakdown of “How to Save a Life”. Greetings and gratitude to you Warren. The Grateful Dead youtube channel did a fundraiser today, Shakedown Street’89 (great live recorded show btw), and I think the fundraiser for your Academy, . It’s been a good day in that way.Good on yaz all!😎

    The guy who said that he could do without the whole third disc of 'All Things Must Pass' is infuriating. 'Out of the Blue' is extraordinary, and the only track I want to hear from the album these days. It sounds like something from Nightmares On Wax or a Bill Laswell project from the nineties, 25 years ahead of its time.

    Paperback Writer was Geoff Emerick and he didn't use Direct Injection to get the Bass sound. Emerick felt that DI was lazy. What he and Ken Townsend devised was a way to use a speaker placed right up against the front of the Bass amp, figuring if a speaker could push air it could also pick it up. Emerick was promoted to Beatles engineer in April of 1966. Tomorrow Never Knows was started on April 6, 1966 and Paperback Writer was started April 13, 1966. The only time Emerick would take a Bass direct was when John was playing it, fearing he might make a mistake that would get into the room and get picked up by the other mics. In retrospect if The Beatles had recorded Revolver at Stax it would have been a disaster. That studio could at times be pretty funky!

    Lennon's Plastic Ono Band Album was recorded bare bones sonically because the content and writing was reflective of the Primal Scream Therapy that he had just finished. He called the album " Sargent Lennon" because it was pure and no bull shit.

    It comes to mind that at least 1/3 of Abbey Road could be considered a "3EATLES" album...by my calculation LENNON does not appear on MAXWELL, HERE COMES THE SUN, GOLDEN SLUMBERS/CARRY THAT WEIGHT and I believe he may NOT be on SOMETHING in the final mix either although he initially worked on the song, maybe on piano that was wiped. Of corse his contribution are SO FANTASTIC in his songs that no one notices. Thanks.

    I thought someone said that to get the bass sound on Paperback Writer, they converted a speaker into a microphone and recorded it that way. Yet, here, you say it was direct into the console. I wonder which version of the story is true?

    you dont need to be "impressive" on your instrument - if the songs are already impressive enough .....also some of the parts on the LP seem so short , i want to hear them again ...but less is more i suppose , i struggled to play simply for a while ....now, its a case of "how can i make this even more simple "
