The Beatles */ Long Tall Sally - Guitar Cover ’’ Rickenbacker 325C64

One of the greatest Beatles rockers! John and George play quintessential early 60s rock and roll rhythm and lead parts, each taking a guitar solo on “Long Tall Sally”. There is some confusion on the internet as to who played what part on “Long Tall Sally”. Part of this confusion comes from the strange fact that the guitar parts switch stereo channels after the first guitar solo at 0:50. This results in both guitar solos sounding like they came from the left channel (which was perhaps the intention of this maneuver), leading some to believe that George played both guitar solos. However, in all live performances that feature both solos, it is clear that John played the first and George played the second. Another surprising fact from the live performances is that John was the one who played the bends during the first vocal-instrument call and response parts of each verse. For clarity in this cover, I kept John’s part panned slightly left and George’s slightly right throughout the whole song.
