I absolutely love the album version. Guitar screams and sings, my heart is beating faster, this is the moment when you know why rock music is so beautiful. One of the best songs in the history of modern music and this solo makes it even better. A masterpiece!
George is the one who wrote the solo. And George Martin chose the single version solo. I’d say them doing the album version solo shows that’s what they liked.
@@howie9751 and that's why the album version is by far the best. it is dirty, gritty and in high contrast to he rest of the song. Brings more raw emotion and yet fits the song perfectly. The single version was to neuter it and make it more radio friendly. Lamest thing the Beatles ever did.
@@howie9751 I certainly wouldn't go that far and we will have to agree to disagree. The single version sounds rather bland to me, but the album version rocks it a bit, and after all they were a rock band. I do appreciate your perspective and I certainly don't hate the other versions, but that album version has excited me since i was a little 9 year old in 1970 listening to it. It soars and is as melodic as anything they ever did!
@@howie9751 it is also interesting to note that there are not very many Beatle songs with multiple official versions like this, so apparently they couldn't decide either - hence they made everyone happy by putting it all out there! Way to go John, Paul, George and Ringo!
While most people here are saying that the album version is the best solo, I wanna give a shoutout to the single version, for being more nuanced and low-key.
I fell in love with "Let it be" when I was 12, as I grew up, I gradually understood why I love this song so much, not because Paul's vocal and rhythm, but because of George's profound and unique guitar solo, he is the reason I started to love the Beatles and learn to play guitar.
Why on earth have some people voted this down, all 3 versions played excellently, authentic tone, nice close up for anyone who wants to see what's being played! Great job.
Since I grew up listening to the single version of let it be on my CD, for me I love the first one. That solo feels more natural to me. But despite this, I also love the Album version just as equally. It has a nice bite to it.
The album version has to be my favorite of all of them. Even though it makes me cry. I think it's because of the fact that it makes me think how The Beatles could have stayed together, and could still be touring today. I know they broke up because of tension between the members, but had they either kept going and gotten through the tension, they could still be together today, and the album version of the Let it Be guitar solo makes me think of that, so then I cry.
Clapton has said that if George had wanted to he could be just as fast as he was but that wasn't George's style. All i had to do is here George play "Roll over Beethoven" as a kid and he won me over.
The album solo version was recorded in January 70, because George wanted something better and Paul was also there because George Linda and Paul did the final backup voices on let it be.
I bought 45 vinyl disc of Let it Be when it was first released. Then the Let it Be 33 vinyl album came out & listened to Let it Be & to my surprise the solo blew me away. I didn't expect it even the drum beats were different.
The ironic thing is - and if you have headphones, it'll bear this out - if you listen to either the single or album versions, you can hear bits of the other solo coming thru..although it's more obvious on the album version (the single's solo is almost but not quite buried in the mix...and vice versa, although they did manage to bury the album version more.)
That's nuts! I went back to listen to both recordings (originally thought it might just have been this video) and could definitely make out the other solos.
I heard it was overdubbed when the single was released. You are right. You can still hear George's lead part on the single at the end, but much quieter. The echo is removed from the drums in the single too.
Thanks Jun, I have been playing this video for probably more than 100 times, I even boosted up my volume to near max, sorry dear neighbours, but this cover is just awesome.
I've been confused about this solo for years. Pretty sure the version I heard growing up in the 70s was the third (album) version here. But I saw a clip from the film in the late 70s, and I noticed the live studio solo was different (I think it may have been the never-released take 27a, now available to see/hear on RUclips). Then, when it came out, I got Let it Be Naked, and the solo is different again from the Naked version, and different from all three you play here (most similar to, but clearly different from the Single Version).
Great video, thanks and congratulations ! By the way Harrison was a genious, what a sensibility to create this kind of solos!! For me the best it´s from the album version, it´s very emocional. Although the single version solo it´s magic too with the rotary effects...and at the end it was the most famous.
There is a RUclips video with 7 versions. All are fabulous. Although the leslie Guitar version is quite unique, I'm beginning to like the album version more and more. Check out all 7 versions
I really like the way you did the album version with the solo near the end. Great sound. I have been fooling with a Boss distorsion, tube screamer (for sustain) and a Fender tube amp and can not come anywhere near the sound you have. Great job!
Amazing to watch those well know notes come to life! Always a pleasure to watch your work Jun! Also, reminds me, ( not that I need reminding ), of the skills and mastery of John, Paul, George, and Ringo!
I can only imagine those who click dislike are profoundly jealous. ... I mean, I am profoundly jealous of talent like this too, but I love it. Kinda wish I had those guitars as well. Also, I dig the shirt.
I must say, all of them are incredible, but Anthology's version has something that makes me like it the most, even if just a little bit more than the other two

I Like Single Version！
@@xanadurush3770 レスポールでやればいい音出るんだろうなぁ
I want to play Single Version by Les Paul
Anthology is the groove though!
I like album (plz don’t make rumors about me)
@@_mllejace no, it's different
George Harrison had 3 solos for the same song, and all 3 are absolutely perfect.
Fun fact: There’s another one on the version from ‘Let It Be…Naked’! Spoilers: It’s also perfect lol
I have heard another one, not sure what version it was. So, more than 3.
And now there’s another version, the Get Back album version in the Let it Be box set!!!
true
Its safe to say, every george Harrison solo is superb😅
proof that george harrison is not only a great guitarist, but underrated as fuck
i said george is not ONLY a great guitarist but also underrated. i'm praising him
***** hahaha te pasaste, creo que no sabes leer inglés, el no dijo que era mal guitarrista
+Lucas Diaz Guzman Esta bien. El dice George es un gran guitarrista .
+Tucker France The first solo is by John.
interesting. I didn't know.
These 3 solo are melting me. Can't get enough of the Beatles.
somonykun same dude... just amazing
The album version is the most impassioned playing and the biting guitar tone sounds great. One of George's best solos!
That's because he went into the studio a year after the song was recorded live and overdubbed that last solo.
I absolutely love the album version. Guitar screams and sings, my heart is beating faster, this is the moment when you know why rock music is so beautiful. One of the best songs in the history of modern music and this solo makes it even better. A masterpiece!
Album version (third solo here). Absolutely no comparison. Truly have never understood how anyone, let alone McCartney, could think otherwise.
Jean Pic true but The Beatles weren’t “most guitarists,” they were (are) legends!
McCartney didn't like Phil Spector is my guess.
George is the one who wrote the solo. And George Martin chose the single version solo. I’d say them doing the album version solo shows that’s what they liked.
What are u talking about mcartney used a similar solo in the naked version(minus distortion)
i think otherwise, the leslie effect completes the song - its about the song not the solo - a great band always knows that
One of the greatest solo's every. 1:13
The album solo sounds like what a hair band would do. The single version is what the Beatles usually do with their solos, fit the song.

Same I really appreciate the Leslie tone
I literally couldn’t find tutorials for the solo that worked for me so I spent an hour watching and practicing from this vid and finally learned it
that's how you do it if you really want to progress and train your hear ;)
I didn’t use a tutorial I just used the sheet music
Any ideas on how to get the tone for the single version to sound more closely to the record/how he plays it here?
I fell in love with "Let it be" when I was 12, as I grew up, I gradually understood why I love this song so much, not because Paul's vocal and rhythm, but because of George's profound and unique guitar solo, he is the reason I started to love the Beatles and learn to play guitar.
Did it really take you long to find out that you like the guitar solo?
何故か分からないけど最後にアルバム版が来た時の実家のような安心感半端なかった
Album version all day long!
Single version. It goes with the song. The album version feels like it came from somewhere else.
Album version... raunchy overdriven alnico speaker sound... but, I watch the "film one" with delight too.... just different 🤔
Single. I like the Leslie.
Frankly, I like it this way. Put all three in there!
@@vaclav_fejt A little underwhelming
The single version is everything I think of when I think of a guitar solo
The Album version always made me teary eyed 🥺
I have the same feeling too

1:12 the best version
+Anonimo Song I can play it all day! can't get enough of it :D
+BADriver142A it happens to me the same

Clapton has said that if George had wanted to he could be just as fast as he was but that wasn't George's style. All i had to do is here George play "Roll over Beethoven" as a kid and he won me over.
He wasnt...technically.
Alexander Vickers Help! came out in 1965, George got better by the time he met Clapton
@@endi3386 are you sure you're not mixing that up with "A Hard Days Night" Alex?
@@endi3386 I've read just about everything on the subject and never saw heard George had trouble with the Help lick. Are you sure?
So the anthology solo is the "ghost" solo you hear on the single and album version. Neat
One of my most favorite guitar solos of all time
For me, the album version (1970) of "Let it Be" is the greatest George's lead guitar solo ever😢
The album solo version was recorded in January 70, because George wanted something better and Paul was also there because George Linda and Paul did the final backup voices on let it be.
2nd: beautiful
3rd: full of emotion
I play the solo from álbum version and single version all the time ,these are amazing.
The 3rd version is the album version - AWESOME!!
De todos los que escuché , es lo más cercano como lo hace GEORGE....THANK YOU...!!!
I grew up with single version. So single version for me
Such a simple solo but it’s so powerful because this is what started guitar solos like this
let's admit that all of these solos are great!
My fav is single version. So chill
melodic; harmonic ; epic
The album version melts my heart
Wow. First time hearing this song, and I just fell in love with this solo

I loved every second of this video. By far my favorite Beatles song.
You are by far the best one to play Let it Be......
God bless George Harrison on guitar....as well as Paul for the Lyrics... beautiful
Amen
Definitely one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.
I love single version ;)
I mainly like it as it uses the Rotary fx pedal giving it that whirly sound
+William Allison u can also use a chorus set the rate knob up high
I agree. It feels like it goes with the song.
@@KeeperOfPoops pp5
@@KeeperOfPoops also, you can use chorus and tremolo pedals, with hight rate (both)

That's NOT "ironic", George.

You tones are dead on perfect
I played the album solo for the talent show at my school and I believe its the best one.
Lawrence Hunter listen to my band resist to conform we did a cover for.
3 rd version is so great...love it... best playing dear George...😇
Thanks Jun, I have been playing this video for probably more than 100 times, I even boosted up my volume to near max, sorry dear neighbours, but this cover is just awesome.
