- Contrary to popular belief, John Lennon did NOT play the Rhythm and Solo Guitar, as some might believe due to its hectic and dirty quality.
Although, as many others and myself believe, the Rhythm and Solo Guitar was in fact played by George, and the 12 string guitar part by John, on his new Rickenbacker 320/12 (More information on this topic can be found on @GearThereEverywhere video EP.1
The double tracked Guitar Solo on the Stereo Mix (heard on Past Masters) may already sound rushed and hectic, although, listening to the original 1964 Mono Mix from the Long Tall Sally EP proves the original unaltered version of the Solo was far worse.
(1964 Mono Mix - • Video )
The Mono Guitar Solo begins identically to the Stereo Version, but after a while the 2 Guitars begin to stray from eachother into a garbled mess of discordant notes and riffs. I have attempted to replicate that solo here (with both guitars panned in different channels, as to lesser the discordant sound a little)
The solo, original and recreated, is quite hard to listen to, but knowing that this song was recorded among 3 others during the session, the rushed nature can be forgiven.
In my video, the first overdubbed solo (Heard in full on the Stereo Mix) is placed on the top of the screen and panned to the right channel. The second, sloppy overdub in placed at the bottom half of the screen and panned of course to the left channel.
George's Rhythm playing throughout the track isn't much to write home about, not nearly as intruiging as the double tracked solo and is what it is.
I hope you enjoyed the video! please stick around for more videos to come in the future!! :)

**DISCLAIMER**
The solo featured in this cover is taken from the original Mono Mix of the song heard here: th-cam.com/video/k5xzCIy8xtE/w-d-xo.html
I feel it necessary to mention that the guitar solo featured in this cover isn't from the Past Masters edition of the song, instead, it's taken from the original Mono Mix of the song from 1964.
This includes (as shown) a double tracked guitar solo from George, which for the most part is fine, until the mid section when both guitars begin to play differing licks. This is intended to be a near 100% accurate version of that solo.
I’ve just realised this guy is 15. Unbelievable, he’s better than most guys on here 🙌
Haha thanks man! Thank you for the support :)
Congrats on the Gent!
Thank you Levi! Best guitar I've ever played ;)
This song is underrated, glad its getting some recognition
Definitely! Always loved it, especially the triple tracked vocals haha!
Fantastic playing mate! Excellent song choice for the first cover on the country gent. Didn’t know it had a dual solo. The gent nails the early Beatles sound. Can’t wait to see more of the gent.
I never realised how awful the solo was until I heard the Mono Version!! Glad you enjoyed Luke :)
Congrats on finally getting the Country Gent. 😁
Thanks man :)
Outstanding job Luca! Congrats with the Gent! Such a beauty
Thanks a lot Lukas! Amazing guitar :)
Congrats on the Gent.
Thanks Joel :)
gorgeous gretsch mate!
Thank you!
With only the guitars heard esp. at the beginning it sounds like John Lennon’s Got To Serve Yourself.
Great playing, thank you!
It has some similarities! I'm glad you enjoyed! :)
Shit, could’ve sworn John played this part on his 325.😂😂 Sick job bro. And congrats on the CG!!😉😜
What actually happened to the Electromatic?😜Did you give it away or what’s the matter?🙂🙃
I believe he sold it to get the Gent.
It is a misconception that John played it on the 325 haha! It's most likely George on the Country Gent ;)
By the way I traded the electromatic for cash at the store I bought it from :)
Amazing Job mate!
Thank you James :)
Um I've heard some people say tat Carl Perkins himself played the rhythm guitar.
The Beatles met and jammed with Carl during this day, but it's not verified whether he played guitar on any tracks, which it is unlikely he did
Check out the BBC version?
I've listened to the BBC version! Decided to go with the Mono version as it's more interesting :)
@@LucaColaMusicwho do you think is playing the guitars and solos on the bbc version
@@ilovemusic7748 Definitely George on the Rhythm and Solo on the BBC version too. The style is not John's at all. Same line up for the BBC except it sounds like they could be using J160-E's
@@LucaColaMusici see idk it sounds like i might be hearing all right john before the solo.
@@ilovemusic7748 So do I but I really don't think it's John. Not his solo style at all
Great cover! Nice country gent and new camera quality! What strings on the gent?
Thanks you man! They're Pyramid .11-.048 Flatwounds!
Yo luca how do you get the audio recorded? Im trying to record some stuff aswell 😂
I just record my amp straight on with a Shure Sm57 into GarageBand through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2! Hope that's helpful! Good luck recording :)
@@LucaColaMusic sweet thanks man! Who knows maybe one day we can do a project together 🙏🙏 dont have the guitar guitars but who cares, its all about the tone n picking style
Hey I made my own edit with vocals and drums. Can I send to your email pls?
