Notes

Studio recording, Abbey Road, 1969. John Lennon played the main riff on his Epiphone Casino through a cranked Fender Twin Reverb. No evidence of pedals or external effects used on the riff section; all tone shaping is from guitar and amp. Pickup and tone knob settings are critical to the sound.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires precise palm muting and dynamic control to achieve the signature percussive, muted attack and groove.
