Greetings to all from Alaska. I've been hoping to find a real forum to pose serious questions. So here's my first one: On the Abbey Road track "Love You"(between Carry That Weight and The End) there is a round of guitar solos of about two bars each. I have yet to find credits for it. I have always suspected it is Paul, George then John, but have had trouble believing the real piercing bent-string sustain note in the second round was something George was really capable of. After listening closely to Octopuses Garden and some Get Back bootlegs, now I am starting to think it was George after all. Any thoughts? BTW I've yet to read Lewisohn's "Complete Beatles Chronicle" which may have the answer. Thanks Alaskan Thanks The End. I am still rather baffled by replying in this manner. I even tried to send a PM to you, but that baffled me too. I hope to be able to master this. I was hoping to reply on the 'Taxman' post, but couldn't figure it out. Getting back to that particular solo, for a long time I thought it beyond Harrison's sensibilities as a guitarist. He never seemed like much of a string bender. But now that I've listened closer to some of his other solos around that time, I agree that yes, it certainly was George.
Thanks briank. I couldn't even imagine that they could have possibly have done that solo round live. I never even heard that one. To me, it's enough to realize it is the 3 of them collaborating on a piece called "The End". That says it all.

Hi Alaskan, a very warm welcome to The Beatle Forum You are quite right with your original assumption - the solos are played in turn in this order: Paul then George then John Please note - if you wish to follow up or reply to this response, you have to add your response by modifying your ORIGINAL post - please feel free to PM me if you need further info.

Despite one claim that it was done "live, all together in the room", several people on the session havesaid it was done distinctly separate - not "live".
The other story is a little fanciful, but the reality may be a little more that they spent some time working out each bit to make it good...
