Members flori Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 ....this is the first chord I EVER wanted to play on an E. Guitar! I thought I'd cracked it......but maybe it really needs a 12 string Rickenbacker? However - life is just too short. flori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coda_ Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 I always played it like this......... e-----3------ B-----1------ G-----2------ D-----0------ A-----0------ E-----3------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeanoBoy Posted November 9, 2008 Members Share Posted November 9, 2008 To me the combination of 12 string guiutar and piano, with all the harmonic complexities, make it almost impossible to decipher exactly what was played by whom. George plays it live on The BBC Recordings without the piano and it doesn't have the same impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members negninegaw Posted November 9, 2008 Members Share Posted November 9, 2008 This is musicology gone berserk. Just ask G.Martin what he played and combine it with what you see on Youtube live gigs by the Beatles. There it is clearly visible that both George and John play F add 9 with Paul's D bass note. Someone on the Rickenbacker Beatles forum explained it a lot better than these scientists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rick 381 Posted November 9, 2008 Members Share Posted November 9, 2008 "It's an F with a G on top". George Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mdintx Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 I've played it this way: e-----3------ B-----6------ G-----5------ D-----0------ A-----0------ E-----0------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members negninegaw Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 Right Rick 381; F with a g (pinky)on top is the F add 9 I mentioned. No low E and A strings are played. D bass note is crucial, to make it sound like a dominant chord to the following G chord. Piano is probably (low GDG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
