Notes

Studio recording, 1966. Used during the Revolver sessions. No evidence of live performance with this exact setup. The Casino was the primary guitar for Lennon and Harrison during this era, and the Vox 7120 was newly supplied to the band for Revolver. No concrete evidence of additional pedals, but fuzz is discussed in forums as a possible contributor to the honking tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive strumming and precise muting, with syncopated chord changes that demand good timing and control.
