Notes

Studio recording, January 1969, Abbey Road/Apple Studios. George Harrison played the solo on the rooftop and in the studio using the Rosewood Telecaster through a Fender Twin Reverb. No evidence of pedal use for the solo; fuzz and other effects were not used on this track. The amp's spring reverb was likely engaged at a moderate level. No evidence of effects loop or additional studio effects on the guitar track.
