Happiness Is a Warm Gun- The Beatles (Guitar Cover)

I started this video thinking George only used his Lucy Les Paul. But after some close listening to take 19 from the White Album Super Deluxe Edition, his rhythm guitar is definitely Rocky. But he did use Lucy on the fuzz guitar solo! John’s fingerpicking Casino part is dosed with a healthy amount of tape flanging, also known as ADT (Automatic Double Tracking). I’m using my Strymon Deco (Tape Saturation and Double-Tracker) pedal to get this sound For the solo George most likely used his Tone Bender mk1.5 fuzz, as heard on Sgt Pepper and Revolver. I’m using my Analogman Sunbender mk1.5 Tone Bender clone. There has been speculation that George used a fretless guitar on the solo- check out Ably House’s video exploring that! But if you listen closely you’ll hear George is bending up to the notes, not sliding up to them One more note on John’s picking- in the recording it sounds like he sometimes releases his index finger on the A minor to play an open B string
