- A note for note cover of George Harrison's masterpiece off of Abbey Road (1969). John Lennon played piano on this song, so both rhythm and lead guitars were played by George

He played his 1968 Rosewood Telecaster through a Leslie speaker for the rhythm part and his 1957 Lucy Les Paul into a Twin Reverb for the lead.
Other than my guitar parts, you’ll hear the isolated vocals and drums from the album. Got these from rock band stems
For the lead part I'm playing my Les Paul into my Fender Pro Reverb with a Strymon Deco to simulate the tape double-tracking effect heard on the record. For the rhythm I'm using my Telecaster into 2 amps so I could record the leslie pedal in stereo
Gear Used:
2007 Fender Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster (w/CS '51 Nocaster Pickups)
2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard (Low Wind OX4 PAF Pickups)
1974 Fender Silverface Pro Reverb with Weber 12F150 Speakers
Marcara Custom Built 5E5-A Tweed Pro (Weber 15" 15A150)
Strymon Deco
Strymon Lex
Mic’d with a Neumann TLM-103 and an AKG 414
Thanks for listening!

Totally agree that the Tele was on rhythm here. Great sound!
Geez the tone on both those guitars are incredible
sounds terrible actually but if your a boomer I guess its cool lol
@@NoName-fo7mz I think that thecig means they are accurate to the original song. Today I agree these tones are by no means revolutionary but I would say they are very faithful to the tones of the original recording.
@@NoName-fo7mzWell, I ain't a boomer, in fact I was born On 05'
And I freaking love that tone
To me that beats anything from the year i was born To beyond
@@linaresgomezevanleonardo724Agreed, born 2001 here
@@linaresgomezevanleonardo724so you're 118?
That rhythm guitar tone is absolutely spot on.
First time I've seen Something played with a capo on the third fret. Sounds spot on.
And it’s what ole Georgie did on the record!
@@sampopkin George's songs and playing never cease to amaze me. Thanks for the lesson.
I’m not from Beatles age, but I imagine seeing George playing guitar as you. You are simply fantastic bro!
This is the best cover I’ve ever heard in my life, sounds precious!!
Perfect chord voicing with the capo on third,tele sounds spot on,wonder if George played rhythm as well as lead on the Abbey road session.ie on his Rosewood Telecaster. Les Paul was perfection.nice feel to the solo,well done.
Yep! George played rhythm on his tele and les paul on solo. John just played piano on the track
Egad. I could never get the chord voicing right, never thought of capo on the 3rd fret. That’s why George was the guy who stole the whole show on Abbey Road with just 2 songs (this and Here Comes The Sun), and I’m not.
Yeah if memory serves he originally played it in A so, likely just stuck the capo on 3rd rather than working out the guitar arrangement from scratch in C.
Note for note perfect! Very well played! Thank you!!
No thank you!
I KILL FOR THE TAB OF THIS. Very nice cover, my favourite song by Beatles
Thanks! I could do a tab as part of a paid lesson if that’s ever something you’re interested in
Greetings friend! How could I pay you to teach me.. i'm from the North of Chile and this was what i was looking for.. I'm interested but i don't know how to send you the money from here. A hug.
@@syryoins3316 hi! You could go to my ‘about’ on my channel and email me. I can do zoom lessons and talk a price
Finally someone who gets it right ! George wrote this starting the verse on A chord and put the capo on third fret for the recording to reach C
Hands down the best cover of Something out there. Job well done!
Very kind of you!
Interesting. I always thought George played both guitar parts on Lucy, but after hearing this, I am also convinced he used the Rosewood Tele for the rhythm part!
How come you don't have more subs? With such a good quality of these covers you deserve them more than most folks on the internet. Great work, keep it up.
Thank you for the kind words! I’m just starting out on youtube and appreciate all the support
@@sampopkin you’re definitely doing something right, I’ve been recommended your videos a few times now. Subbed this time 😄
@@RegulusBlues thank you! Nice
Absolutely incredible. Hats off to you 👏🏼
John and George would be so proud
I think the lead was actually played on bridge pickup, but with a lot of mids and slightly distorted, but your tone sounds very close too
Whatever it was, my tone knob was rolled down slightly too much. You’re right it has a little crunch and mids
You play it perfect! In addition the sound of the brown guitar is extraordinary, soft and delicate
Your videos are just so good.. Well done.
All your videos are amazing. Great job!
this cover is perfect to play bass to!! cheers!
You are such a great Professional man! I believe you inspire a lot of people around the world teaching with such mastery.
those are some beautiful guitars my friend, great cover!
@sam popkin No words! Just subscribed. Thank you for your channel.
Thanks for subbing!!
The tone on the tele is almost perfect.
me encanta el sonido de la tele que George usó en este temazo, me encanta este cover 🔥🔥
Very good job. I enjoyed watching and listening.
Oh man, u even hit the “likely a mistake” extra note in the solo. People think I’m nuts for keeping that in lol. Great job on all these covers. Consistently some of the most accurate beatles covers I’ve come across. As someone who has the same guitar part mastering ocd, whether it’s The Beatles, Pearl Jam or Pantera (in my case ) lol, It’s clear you take pride in getting the notes, positions and all the right tones on all the tracks/overdubs on each song. 👍🏼
I like George’s songs!!!!!!!!!
Marvelous work Sir. Thank you for sharing.
Superb! Didn't think of using a capo for the rhythm, but I'll be off to learn it that way now.
Fantastically done! 👏 I appreciated the chimney tele feel to the rhythm part. I thought there was a low mixed acoustic too but I now realize it’s all the tele
Illuminating is the idea that the accompanying guitar was played with the capo. It actually sounds very similar to the record. Bravo for the details, very nice cover.
Thanks! Check out the scene in Get Back documentary where George is playing it this way- capo on 3rd
I will do so as soon as I have some free time to watch the whole film.
Beautifully played! So good! Love it! Excellent performance! You deserve lots of Subscribers! I enjoyed listening to it 😊 Keep playing ❤️🎸
Thank you!! Let me know if there are any songs you’d like to hear 😁
Rhythm on a tele with a capo played through a leslie? That’s it! That’s the sound!
Extraordinary!!! Just extraordinary!! Thank you for an amazing video!
Solo starts on D string 12th fret.
Breathtakingly beautiful ❤
Genial...!!👏👏👏💪💪❤️😍🎼🎼
This song makes me fly to the space t
Simply wow!
Great cover. I never knew a capo was used for this song. Perfect.
Awesome!
You totally nailed it. Thank you.
Super-fine.
Elegant guitars!
Amazing cover ! Delicious video, thanks for your upload !!!! Argentina
Hey, you played it correctly with the capo on 3! I see so many play in C with no capo - few know he used the capo :) Great playing!
Amazing rendition
well done man! Nice cover and your tele too!! LIKE of course!!
Wow, excellent. I never thought of using a capo. Also, you play most of the lead in the same position as I do.
Very nice!
Beautiful!
Wow increible, cover perfecto!
Wonderful
Fantastic
Sheesh that was really good
Very nice very nice
good play!I like your guitar sound!
Lovely!
😃 Great cover friend. Saludos From Mexico
Superb
Amazing 👏👏
Nice work!
Good job! dude
Bravo!
Cheers
nailed it!
I love you strato🥺
The best cover! New sub For you
Thanks!!
This is how he played it im pretty sure on chords, but idk if the solo was played on those strings. Either way I don’t care but great job man.
The section that starts at 1:15..are you still using the Strymon..or is that off at that point?
It’s on the whole song
Bloody brilliant, again! So much loving your videos, keep up the good work. Do you remember what settings of Strymon Deco were used for flanging/ADT effect? I purchased this pedal couple of days ago and am pretty much blown away, sounds magical.
I usually take photos of my pedal and amp settings, but this was one of my early covers so I didn’t. But generally, I like my deco on sum mode, wobble at 10-11 o clock and the time knob at 10-2 o clock
@@sampopkin thanks so much!
A incredible cover man ! What's the effect used in that Tele ? Chorus ? Phaser ?
Flanger
Leslie. My Strymon Lex pedal
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lennon’s guitar skills and contribution are totally underrated
Lennon only played piano on this song
Lennon guitar skills and contribution underrated? Maybe you comment this while smoking shit
@@sampopkin oh I didn’t know! Who played rhythm on this song then?
@@Wendy-yr1ii george played rhythm on his tele and then he also overdubbed the solo
Nice tones and playing.
Impresionante papu
Totally amazing and well played, is just like must sound

Check out DLD2 Music! TH-cam channel
@@sampopkin 😎
Hello Sam, very nice performance.
But did George actually play the rhythm guitar with a capo? Or is it something you manage to do the cover?
All the best,
knarf from France
You can see George using capo at 3rd fret in Get Back movie while he’s teaching John the chords. Also listened carefully and the voicing were definitely capo-chords. Cheers!
@@sampopkin ok, thanks 🙏 for this detail.
Unfortunately, I do not have Disney + channel on my TV, therefore could not watch these movies 😔. But I understand that some Dvd would soon be in the stores. So I'm longing to get them now,
All the best,
knarf from France 🇫🇷
@@knarf_ I hope you can get Disney soon! It’s a magnifique film 🇫🇷 J’adore les Beatles 😉
Wow. ❤🇮🇹🤘
wow, amazing. did george use a capo for the rhythm for sure?
Yep!!
@@sampopkin woah! I never knew. How did you find out?
@@c.t.martin3915 1. He originally wrote the song in A (demo, get back). And then in the documentary you see him play the song in A but capo’d to third fret
2. I knew this but wanted to make sure that was true in the recording. Listened to isolated track and it’s definitely capo’d
Siempre me he preguntado porqué a nadie le sale el solo de esta canción, ni siquiera a harrison cuando lo ha tocado en vivo, y aca tampoco te salió igual, corrijo eres el que mas parecido lo ha sacado de los wue he escuchado
This is cool! Can you do a lesson on this?
I do zoom lessons if you’re interested
@@sampopkin maybe could you like do videos on these for tabs?
@@sampopkinalso it’s a really cool arrangement on the 3rd fret capo! The Beatles did it with c f g and d chords with no capo, but it’s an awesome arrangement!
Your pretty good.
I don’t recall asking him if his love will grow, I wasn’t even interested to be honest.
Great playing here though. 😁
👏👏👏
'ery nice
Thanks puffinz !
Did he really play with capo 3rd? Would explain why the demo (which sounds wonderful too) is in A.
Yes
Lovely stuff! My mum died 😁👍🏻
I’m so sorry. Best to you and your family
Sam, do you think Paul put Black tape wound flats on his Rickenbacker 4001 for this song? (same strings that came stock on Hofners in the 60's.) Many 60's bass players used Black tape wound flats on their basses back then. They thumped. They did not sustain.
I think Paul exclusively put flats on his Rickenbacker
@@sampopkin Yea, I think your right but the black tape wound strings are something you actually see from the audience. I see them on his Rick in the picture of the isolated track on "Something." I never saw that before. I know how a Rick 4001 bass sounds and to shut the sound down to a thump, it would take the black tape wound strings. We have pictures and isolated tracks now that we didn't have at all before. There was no internet when I first heard this song. LOL. Now I can see pictures of that bass with black strings on it and hear just the bass track. It's a 60's thump. Amazing! When the Beatles were asked what kind of strings they use, they didn't know or care. The Rick 4001 does not come stock with the black tape wound strings. Somebody had to put them on it. Did Paul? We'll never know I guess.
What pedal are you using on the tele , sounds killer
Thanks! Strymon Lex
Which is a Leslie rotating speaker simulator
@@sampopkin very cool thought it was a Leslie wasn’t sure which you were using ,I know the Beatles (George ) loved that Leslie on guitars
Nice. Im guessing the rythym part would be a bit tougher without the capo?
George originally wrote and demoed the song in A (you have to play the bridge in F#). Then for the album he capo’d it up 3rd fret to C while still playing in A. It’s easier to play without the capo because you don’t have to play in F#
never thought of playing the rythem part on the d chord thought it was an f
D chord with capo on 3rd fret IS f !
@@sampopkin was drinking and didn't see the capo lmaooooo sorry
@sampopkin was honestly curious tho why the d sounded so accurate tho don't know anything about capos to be fair not a pro
@@edwinchavez4581because that’s what the recording used
i've heard JOHN L. only sang backups on this tune and plays no instruments. true?
He played piano as well, but it is barely audible in the final mix
Geez how did you get that tone for the lead
Thanks. I recommend players use real tube amps, condenser mics. And pedals that shape the sound of the amp
@@sampopkin but is it like a combo of Leslie rotary effects and fuzz tones or something
@@JPproductions303 for the les paul it’s just a Strymon deco pedal straight into my pro reverb amp
I assumed it was a Leslie speaker effect on the rhythm. what did you use?
Strymon Lex- Leslie sim pedal
