Notes

Studio recording, 1969 Get Back sessions. George Harrison played the solo on the Rosewood Telecaster through a Fender Twin Reverb. Some sources mention a Leslie 147RV rotary speaker was used for other tracks, but not for 'Get Back' solo. No evidence of Vox or other amps for this solo. No evidence of pedal use for this solo. All evidence points to direct guitar → amp setup.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level phrasing, accurate bends, and dynamic control to match the classic rock feel and articulation of the original recording.
