      @TheBeatles. restore George’s solo…if he ever recorded one. They worked on the song for an afternoon. Paul talked like it was his idea to do the solo when they finished the song recently like they hadn’t even gotten that far before discarding the song in the 90s because of the quality of the tape.

      Ahh... Not even close. George taught the masterclass that narsistic Paul felt that he was too good for. Just some truth, as John would have said. Good job as usual Sam👍

    • @JesusVazquez-jz2qm
      @JesusVazquez-jz2qm Рік тому +9

      Narcisissm is a mental illness, so first of all learn how to use concepts. Paul has his ego (as John or George even) of course, but he's far from being narcisisstic.

    • @mr_bassman6685
      @mr_bassman6685 Рік тому +3

      As if John didn’t have narcissistic tendencies himself (NOT narcissistic personality disorder). I’m sure Paul knew he couldn’t play like George, so it’s deliberately more of a tribute, I suspect.

    As for the guitar Paul used on the slide solo, Sam, my four pennies go the cigar box guitar Johnny Depp gifted him sometimes around 2011/2012. He started using it for slide solos in the Nirvana collaboration Cut Me Some Slack that same year (2012), then on the song Appreciate on the New album (2013) and somewhere else here and there ever since

    Hey, just to add to the list of instruments used, the electric guitar George used was built by a luthier called Bernie Hamburger, the brand being Hamburguitar. If you check his website you'll see both the red guitar briefly shown in the little documentary for Now and Then plus the green one seen during the solo section of the music video for Real Love.
