    These two songs were recorded together on July 25th, 1969 for the side two medley on Abbey Road (aka The Long One). The lineup was Paul McCartney on bass guitar, John Lennon on Framus Hootenanny 12-string acoustic guitar, George Harrison on lead electric guitar, and Ringo Starr on drums
    The Framus Hootenanny was the same 12-string heard on classic songs earlier in their career- Help, I've Just Seen A Face, I'm A Loser, and You've Got To Hide Your Love Away. After retiring it around 1965-67, John brought it back, just for these two songs
    It's not 100% clear which guitar George Harrison used for these sessions, it was either his 'Lucy' Les Paul or his Rosewood Telecaster. The beginning of Polythene Pam features a very warm crunchy neck pickup part, which sounds more characteristic of a Les Paul. But his guitar solo at 0:48 is very bright and more Fender-y sounding
    George was definitely plugged into a Fender Twin Reverb amp, the main amp used on Abbey Road. They are 85 watts and very loud. It is harder to make these amps crunch up, especially with a single coil Fender. I concluded that George used his Les Paul, but that he used very bright settings on the amp
    There is a slapback-delay effect on George's guitar throughout the song, which was applied after the recording session using tape machines. During the Polythene Pam guitar solo you also hear volume swells happening at various points. This was also done after the recording session using console faders, not with a volume pedal. I confirmed this by listening to the original mix of the Medley, heard on the Abbey Road super deluxe box set. There were no volume swells at that stage of mixing
    George overdubbed a second guitar for the descending lines, which segues the first song into the second. At 1:13 you hear the overdubbed guitar, which is very crunchy and definitely sounds like a Les Paul
    Here are some interesting guitar parts that occur-
    0:11 George slides up to only the 11th fret (Eb instead of E)
    0:18 John mistakenly pauses, playing a C chord quieter
    0:31 George slides up to only the 11th fret again (Eb instead of E)
    0:37 George mistakenly hits an F note on the D-string 15th fret
    0:49 George switches to bridge pickup for the guitar solo
    1:33 George switches to middle position pickup for one line
    2:01 John ends his A chord later than George
    2:37 George switches to middle position for one line
    2:52 John mistakenly plays a Bb note in his D minor (3rd fret G)
    I'm using my 1967 Gibson B-25-12 acoustic guitar for John's part. It has a smaller body size, like the Hootenanny. I'm mic'ing it with a Neumann TLM-103 condenser. The Beatles almost exclusively mic'd their acoustics with Neumann U67's and 87's
    For George's guitar parts I'm using my 2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard. It's plugged into an Analogman King of Tone overdrive pedal, into my 1974 Fender Pro Reverb amp. I turned the bright switch ON for the main guitar part
    I'm using an Abbey Road J37 Tape plug-in for the slapback delay effect. It is set to 195ms. I also manually created volume swells in Pro Tools, for his Polythene Pam guitar solo
    My Gear:
    1967 Gibson B-25-12
    2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard (OX4 Pickups)
    Analogman King of Tone (boost side for main guitar, drive side for overdubbed guitar)
    1974 Fender Pro Reverb (Weber 12F150 Speakers)
    Neumann TLM-103

    She Came In Through The Bathroom Window is THE song that made me want to play electric guitar. John was awesome with the rhythm and really drove the song. The lead guitar was just magical on this song. George was so perfect with his sense of timing of when to play what. His guitar parts never overshadowed the song, the guitar complemented the songs perfectly.

The 12-string almost gives it a folk rock sound. Not as recorded, of course, but i now see that it could have been. Thanks for showing this.

    • @sampopkin

      You can hear on the Escher demos, recorded in about May 1968 before the White Album that John was already doing D-A-E with big emphasis on the E as a turnaround. It seems like it was already there from the beginning.

      @@reginaldperiwinkle True, though I think the reference is to the single strums like those that open the song, which aren’t on the Esher version. The quote also suggests MacDonald thought Pinball Wizard was played on a 12-string (it sounds like at least two tracks of Pete’s J-200 instead).

    Thanks for all the nice touches on this. I wonder if John really played the Bb note in the Dm by mistake, or whether it is just a nice touch. The Bb seems in key to me and it is actually consistent with the vocal harmony, which goes from a G note to an F note, so John is implying some harmonies with intervals of sixths. It's actually clever.

    I was always tempted to think it was the Tele as well. But it 100% sounds like humbuckers with that extra treble. You dont get that crunch with P90s. And you can definitely hear that '50s influence coming through. Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins and the like. Their likeness really shines through in George's little solos.

    I've always thought the delay on the guitar here was really unique in The Beatles' catalogue. Even songs like Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby with vocals full of slap didn't apply it to the guitar. I'm sure there's another song or two where they used it, but I can't think of any right now.

    Nicely done w/quick trigger fingers to change pickup selection on the LP Std. I always thought this had really nice guitar flourishes and very Macca like lead parts.

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! No, George and John played 6 string acoustics on it. Likely a J200 and D28
      The intro was actually a setting on their mellotron (that fast Spanish classical thing)

    Superb. But here’s my question on this and other Beatles solos that George has played. Does he create them or does Paul write them?

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  9 місяців тому

      Other than Michelle, which was written by George Martin, Harrison wrote all his solos
      I’m sure there were a few times Paul gave input though

    Fantastic. Did they actually reverse and record it back to back? There is continuity in the sound and approach.

      Yes they recorded You Never Give Me Your Money on its own.
      Sun King and Mean Mr. Mustard were recorded together at the same time back to back
      And Polythene Pam and Bathroom Window were also recorded back to back

    Great job, but one thing I never understood about guitar players (I play bass) is the movement of the left hand to the end of neck between phrases. When their part is at rest, they invariably move that hand around when nothing i being played. I suppose with my instrument there's generally continual motion in the middle of songs so this habit is not something we tend to develop

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  Рік тому +1

      That’s interesting, I play bass too but am mainly a guitarist. I’m not sure why that is the case. Clapton is a good example of someone who moved up and down the neck quickly all the time. He even would slide up to a note at the 14th (ish) fret after finishing a lower note, just to spice things up
