    It was 1965. They were the hard, cutting edge of rock and roll before anyone else. George Martin gave them that sound with his creative ear. The BASS was the loudest instrument, played with a pick to be the foundation of the rhythm track, with drums following and Lennon aggressively strumming hard to complete the loud sound of rock that parents HATED!! My father called it " pounding SHIT !" It was revolutionary. Harrisons guitar embellishments were icing on the cake. Their double tracked vocals were now the standard on almost every song....completing their signature sound. It would NEVER have sounded like that without George Martin....who was the REAL creator of the modern rock and roll sound. They would have sounding like wimpy, folk- rock band instead, without their full talent magnified properly. You can HEAR the difference in quality of their sound by comparing the awful production of Phil Spector to ANYTHING that Martin did !

      We have no way of knowing what each of them thought privately and how highly complicated some of their ideas that never got recorded might have been.
      I can imagine (no pun intended) John and Paul, at least, "overthinking" lots of things.

    Whoever had the idea for Ringo to lay off the ride cymbals was a percussion genius. This was a radical, very unusual thing to do, or not to do in a song like this, to just play rim shots and bass drum throughout with crash cymbals in strategic places. I've heard this song hundreds of times. It always sounded special and different to me, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Well, as with many brilliant musical pieces, it wasn't what they were DOING, it was what they WEREN'T doing. Pure genius!

    Beatles could definitely sing. Vocals are outstanding.
    Side Note: Lennon sings the HIGH notes each time on the part "Please Please". He goes above Paul. This was a very COMMON thing that people don't realize. They think every time there are high notes sung in a harmony that Paul is always singing the highest note. Absolutely untrue. Many, many examples including "Please Please Me", "From Me To You", I Saw Her Standing There",
    "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" etc. Where John sings the highest notes then works his way downward or hangs up there for a short while.

    I'm amazed at the energy and musical brightness of Paul's bass playing here, as well as throughout the entire Beatles catalogue. Those bouncing in-between notes, his expertly executed "one to the five, five to the one"", up and down (mostly extinct amongst bass players today and for a while, more's the pity) along with just a touch of a walking line or pedaling a single note where appropriate. Such fine technique, brilliance and inspiration.
    Not the flashiest or most thunderous, Paul is, however, the finest bass player in rock.
    Also, we should not forget John's driving rhythm guitar, played with particular verve on a 12-string acoustic guitar on this song. It's an entire rhythm section in itself, which is likely why they told Ringo, or he decided for himself, not to play any ride cymbals or high-hat on the song.
    It strikes me that the reason why The Beatles sound so especially great on their recordings, their basic excellence beyond virtually all other bands, at least one important reason, is that each of them had/has a perfect, unerring ear for and sense of musical TIME They kept time perfectly with each other and within each song while still swinging hard in an exiting manner. This is not at all a common ability, but those musicians who possess this particular aspect of musical talent are always the best ones on any instrument, and bands wherein all of the musicians posses this talent are rarer and better still.

    I watched a couple of "guitar lesson" videos on this song and I think they get the descending guitar lick wrong. I think what people say it is (the same two notes going down one fret at a time) is easier but doesn't sound as good as what's actually on the record. I think the lowest note is going down one fret at a time, and the third and fourth notes are always G and B, but the second note is a G the first two times and an E the next two times. If I'm right, it's an impressively hard, counterintuitive thing to play on the guitar, but it sounds good as hell. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'd love to get another opinion.

    Because of the loss of sound quality in bouncing tracks to go beyond four it’s not obvious John is playing a 12 string on this song. In fact I suspect it was tuned down a half step and capoed on the first fret due to a take I heard on “Hide Your Love Away”. I believe it was a Framus, but whatever it was the tension was reduced and possibly easier to play.

    No tape hiss, no mixing desk S/N, no 50 hz ground hum from the mains. Even the original master tape didn't have this clarity in 1964.

      Recorded in April and (vocals) in May 1965. Paul was still 22 and John was 24.
