      Totally agree. It's my favourite piece of lead guitar ever. And yes there was nothing like it before on the recorded medium but since there gave been milliond Lead breaks up to this point were blues/rock roll riffs. This stripped down version showcases how all 3 guitarists were at the top of their game.

    After studying classical Indian music for a couple of years I can go back and listen to this song that came out when I was a little kid and see how they use the construction of a raga for the melody of the guitars and the normal way of ending a song in India. phrase times three to the beat string which is a Chikara. Low string here a low E but on a sitar it’s a high string much like a banjo. Just saying they were already doing world music in 1965 courtesy of George studying

    • @timewrath7723

    • @patricksmith4424
      @patricksmith4424 Год назад

      Very good point. On the previous album Rubber soul, George was showing his Sitar skills on Norwegian wood. Playing the Sitar would undoubtedly have influenced George in his guitar playing also. As this was a duet, it was never made clear Paul's influence in the composition either. It's often thought that the whole Beatles and India thing was around 1968. But Norwegian wood just shows you how George anyway was deeply involved in it by 1965.This is my favourite lead break ever!

Don't forget Clapton was the Guitar player on " My guitar gently weeps " and uncredited. Even the Lennon - McCartney duo of who actually wrote what is still a bit of a mystery.

      Rosemarie Tinsley this is a joke right? This was back in 1966. Half the members are dead and they paved the way for rock and roll.

      Rosemarie Tinsley this music is from a band that originated back in the 1960’s. They did have a chance, and they were and still are world famous. Do some goddamn research or gtfo.
