    I thought you had some mistakes on your playing but after I read the description you were just replicating George's mistakes, impressive

    I always loved the tone of the Squier VI, it's so crispy.

    I love that George played bass on three Abbey Road tracks, Maxwell, Oh Darling and Carry that Weight.

    I believe that George infamously recalled in a segment filmed for "Anthology" (but not seen until 2003 when the DVD box set came out) that he played the Bass VI on this track. He, Paul, Ringo and Big George Martin were listening to the multitracks. When they isolated the tracks and the bass came on, George H said to Paul, "Is that you?" George M said, "says here it was done live and Paul's on piano". George H replies, "then it must've been me on that six-string Fender bass." I know George's memory was spotty at times, but I'll take his word for it here.

      I would agree with that. Seems more George’s style of playing than John’s.

      That clip is hilarious. At first Paul and George are convinced it's a Paul overdub until George M points out it's take 17 and the bass is on all the takes, so George says, 'He was very keen.' 🤣George couldn't even remember which album it was on!

    I think George played bass on this song, as Paul was on piano and John was in hospital in Scotland. George did have a Fender Jazz bass but I think the tone of the Fender VI is very similar to the recording.

    Awesome covers, Sam! I always wondered what guitar part Paul played on Carry That Weight, as both he and George were credited playing guitar on that song. Can't wait for The End!

    Even if I love the Fender VI tone, I still believe George used the Jazz Bass for this one, specially thanks to the photos taken around the days they recorded them.

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  6 месяцев назад +1

      The tone is definitely jazzy but that big three octave leap seems near impossible to do on a four string

    • @AllbeeHivezChristianAllbee
      @AllbeeHivezChristianAllbee Месяц назад

      Sounds a little “scoopier” than a Jazz Bass, so I still believe it’s the Bass VI

    The sound of that squier bass VI is so good ❤ (especially on gently weeps). Even though i love the medley and obviously Abbey Road as a whole, these two songs along with The End have always been my favorite "section" of the medley...
    P.S: Off topic, but last week i think you posted a story on your instagram with a Ravi Shankar song and i can't seem to recall which one but it sounded really nice, can you by any chance mention the song title again? Thanks!

      The Ravi song is Prabhujee. George and Ravi actually perform it live on VH1 if you wanted to search that performance

    Honestly, I don't buy the idea that Paul played guitar on the song. The guitar work sounds like it all came from the Telecaster, and George was probably the one who knew how to use the Leslie speaker the best.
