Thanks Sam. This taught me a lot. I thought John was bouncing from Em to A in the verses and never would have thought George was on J160e. Of course the maniac screaming rock vocal harmonies make this song ! The Stones couldn't come close and the Beatles, as they did with just about all covers, really send up Barret Strong's version.
Omg, was legit wondering if there was a song with this combo and all this time it was money! Absolutely nailed it dude! Shame there’s not more Beatles songs with this combo of plugged in I-160e and 325 as it really works well together.
Hey Sam is there any end ? Just beautiful dude always lick for lick. Loving it every time. Just kidding there is no end to your great hearing and playing The Beatles always perfect 👍🎸
George’s Country Gent (the first one with dial-up mutes) had to go in for repairs around this time, so perhaps that’s why he used the J-160E on tracks like this, as well as the “All My Loving” solo - which, being a very Chet Atkins-style thing, he probably would’ve preferred to play on his Gretsch.
This is a very interesting cover! This song is very special to me because it’s the first song I learned by ear on guitar. I also used to think that George used the country gentleman on this song but I sounds awesome with the J160e. Great job sam!
Probably one of the best songs with John's energetic vocals, didn't know George used the J-160E for the part! I thought it was the Country Gent Overall, great job!
Well, that's surprising. The J-160E's an interesting choice for George any track, especially with John on electric. For years, the lineup here was documented to be the one on their cover of Rock and Roll Music.
Early British beat music could tend to sound a bit thin and tinny when recorded. In the clubs they could have the bass as loud as possible and cover for the fact that there were few instruments involved, and usually nothing fuller like the piano or brass that the older dance bands would have. Once in the studio though the fear that having the level of the bass too high could cause the record player needle to bounce out of the record groove left a distinct hole in the lower end of the sound. It seems to me that George Martin and Co were often making efforts to thicken and deepen the sound using other means without essentially changing the nature of The Beatles style. In some cases they used an extra piano part doubling and thickening the guitar parts but so subtly that the listener isn't aware of the piano as a separate instrument. In others, they used the acoustic guitar as an ambiance in the background rather than as a noticeable instrument and in others, such as here, as a direct substitute for an electric.
Interesting to compare this early versions with Lennon's Live Peace in Toronto 1969 version with Clapton. The latter more straight ahead and guitars more or less playing the same parts (no doubt a wise move given they only rehearsed it on the plane and a little before showtime).
@@sampopkin George Martin's piano was o/dubbed on the day of the session (18th July). You hear Ringo tapping his sticks for Martin to keep time. This mix was done for the mono mix. For the stereo, Martin re-did his piano part much later (Sep or Oct). You hear no tapping of sticks in the stereo.
The J160E sounds really nice
Release the Sokil mix (2024). Obviously kidding, great job!
How bout on Onlyfans

Thanks!!
Very interesting that George would’ve used the J-160e for this one, your channel is a godsend Sam
Who knew a J160E could growl?
I had to read your message 3 times. Thinking why is he saying the guitar has grown? I see a normal size guitar 😂

Excellent
Knocking out With the Beatles I see. Would love to see you do Hold Me Tight! Great cover as always
yes! would love to see this song too! any of what remains of with the beatles honestly
Great music and Beatles' covers that's what I want!
I ❤ this performace, you inspired me to try playing this song, 🙏 for sharing this my friend
Hey Sam is there any end ? Just beautiful dude always lick for lick. Loving it every time. Just kidding there is no end to your great hearing and playing The Beatles always perfect 👍🎸
Woah!!!!! Thank you so much! So shocked about the j160e!

I trust your ears 100x over my own, of course; I always thought John played all those E7 & A7 up on the 5th fret but I think you nailed it (as usual!)
Yeah that’s very possible
George on the Gibson for this one never crossed my mind but it makes sense now. Cool discovery!
Nailed it (again)! Excellent work Sam, thanks. :)
👏👏👏 from Yokohama, JAPAN🎉🎉🎉
Love your videos man.
Stellar. As always.
This is a very interesting cover! This song is very special to me because it’s the first song I learned by ear on guitar. I also used to think that George used the country gentleman on this song but I sounds awesome with the J160e. Great job sam!

Overall, great job!
Love the version of this they did at the Royal Variety Performance
These vids are great, excellently played . . . and nice guitars!
Nailed it! 🎉🎉🎉🎉can you do the vocal?😂😂😂😂😂
👏👏👏
John was very good!
Great cover. Possibly the only Beatles song to use this guitar combination
I’ve waited so long and for this, I can’t believe George used an acoustic guitar! I bet Roll Over Beethoven is next! Can’t wait!🎸
The blend of the woody acoustic tone and the chunky Rickenbacker works so well
Really got a great sound out of the J160

good :)
It would be amazing if I played Paul McCartney's 3 Legs, it's his album ram but still Excellent video I love your content :D

Just like going to a Beatle concert.
Why do you think they used a different intro in the mono mix?
Forgot about that!

Ur acc rly accurate I knew george used the Gibson not the grestch guitar
Sam what’s your personal favorite Beatles record?
If you mean album, it’s rubber soul
My favorite songs are
When I’m 64
In My Life
I’m So Tired
Martha My Dear
There’s a Place
Wow, would have never pegged you for a rubber soul guy. Those are some great tracks
@@sampopkin Another Rubber Soul fan! My favourite Beatles album as well
Sam, what kind of strings did you use on both guitars? Flats or round wounds?
@ flats on the Rickenbacker. Rounds on J160
Hi
Where is the "it's only love" cover?
Haven’t done it yet!
Impossible to sing the melody while playing the George bit!
Yes, fortunately George was singing the response bit only. And he modified the guitar riff so it was easier to also sing
