@@Henry3Studios Thanks for your comment. In fact, Lennon and Harrison do not use a capo, because the song was recorded en A and after sped up. I use the capo to try to make the song playable live. John plays the solo in the video, that’s correct, but to me sound more like the Gibson than the Casino :). When I play this song live I make the solo with the Casino though. Thanks again for you comment!!
@@beatleguitartone If you listen to the 2018 box set outtakes, you hear that they were playing in this Bb-B pitch from the very start of recording. Check out this early rehearsal, which is in the exact pitch of the record th-cam.com/video/D5V-cmazw1w/w-d-xo.html If this is true, John and George both had to have used capos because when I listened to the isolated tracks I heard them both release the lowest string to an F-sharp note. This proves that they both used capos on the 2nd fret The song therefore was not sped up at all, although Nicky Hopkins probably recorded his pianet part with some tape speed manipulation. Their pianet wouldn't have been in tune with the odd Bb-B pitch they recorded in, so they probably slowed it down to A for Nicky and sped it back up. A trick they used a lot in 66-67 (Lucy In The Sky vocals, Rain, Lovely Rita, etc.)
I think George was using a capo as well and was on SG as there’s a dive only possible with a vibrato arm. Also John plays the solo not George
