A great example of Lennon being underrated. He's on-point with this and shows more versatility than he gets credit for. Near perfect playing

I have the slide and cord! The guitar - Hofner 5140 Hawaiian Standard lap steel was found & sold last year but the buyer didn’t want the accessories- John in Get Back discusses the cord length with Magic Alex and requests a longer one be made for The Rooftop Concert (seen on a chair next to Ringo) but ultimately wasn’t used in the final concert - beautiful sound - looking for a 1967 Hofner lap steel currently at the moment to complete the original Lennon owned accessories I have but all searches result in “Sold Out”! Beautiful use of this guitar on this Harrison fav of mine!! For You Blue! Immaculate! ❤ thanks for sharing

[@Billinois78]

I never thought about it until now, how the tempo is similar to Old Brown Shoe. One can easily transition from one to the other.

[@slarock001]

The take featured in Get Back, John says that[s the one, it wont get any better. He's right its the one they used

[@lorenzofediuk626]

1:23 "yeah!"

[@jbognap]

This finally clearly illustrates that John is playing the bass notes in the turnaround on the lap steel. Always wondered where that came from.

[@mathieuschuler366]

What is the lap steel tuned to?

[@julianuary]

D A D F# C D. D7 chord, essentially.

[@Jhofy]

i always thought it was George using a slide

[@daytripper9222]

No that's why you hear George say to John Lennon go Johnny go on the original version. 🎸🎸🎸

[@DLD2Music]

you can see lennon playing the lap steel during let it be movie ;)

[@daytripper9222]

@@DLD2Music That's correct. Saw let it be at the theater in 1970.

[@imagiro3218]

Not till his solo stuff.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

George’s slide playing has a lot of finesse because he learned sitar. So he had a great ear for the kind of quick pitch fluctuations used in blues slide. He was quite precise as a slide player, as a result. But John here sounds like a drunk man made of rubber bands; the pitch is all over the place (it sounds great!!!). It’s fantastic but it doesn’t sound anything like where George went with slide guitar even a few months later, on Abbey Road.
