Funny how when George plays a solo (which is most of the time) They show it on camera at a live concert. But JOHN doing a solo is censored like curse words in a kids movie. Why is it that there is only one video of John doing the solo
@Calvingreen17 Before the shows he told the camera man not to record him during his solo. Reason why is that he was afraid he would screw up and he was self conscious about his guitar playing.
Dragon Fly - thanks for the playing advice. A lesson would be equally appreciated. Lennon had a unique style - hard to imitate.
Stevenruebke, less insults to our Aussie friend please. Despite her colourful language. it's quite common for people to use strong words in everyday situations.
For the benefit of the kids who view youtube, I will remove this and all vid's if I see any language or comments intended to offend anyone. Colour, creed, sex etc don't need to be discussed here!
Don't worry about comments from Australian's, they have no decent muscians and they are mostly GAY. Probably, Dragonwing1952 is a 58 year old wanna be who never made it in anything, he probably has a gay Goatee and lives with his fag partner who is Asian and lives in Darlinghurst or Paddington or another fag area.
Tokyo997 - respect from Germany to anyone in their 30's who drives an Aston Martin AND a Porsche (hence the 997 I guess) and has such an awesome guitar collection.
@stephenruebke - so wrong on so many counts:) I'm female, straight and live in Victoria. Wonderful generalisation about Australians though - have you met them all?
@StratBanez101 The Kaufman Vibrola Whammy is terrible, Even think about using it and you need to retune the guitar.. Many people replace it for the Bigsby b5
Wow this is really good. I've only just started guitar and that Rick is my dream guitar when I get better. So right now I'm stuck on acoustic. Keep up the good work!
@Tokyo997 It was a 6 string. Lennon used his Rickenbacker 325 through the entire song. It was George Harrison that played a Rickenbacker "Fire-glo" 360-12, not John.
Sounded Great! My band is doing this song for a gig a few weeks from now.. You've definitely got the feel for it and the Rickenbaker takes the cake!! Time for the zipper boots and black ties mate!! LOL!
I thought I commented long before now, but I'd like to say thank you for the demo. This is one of the great Beatle songs that is seldom recognized as such (imo). It is the epitome of their (and I don't exactly know how to describe it but call it) "slouchy rock" style. The music is not slouchy in a negative connotation. It has to do with the sliding of chords and the manner of way they strummed their guitars. It is as if someone is merely walking down the street with confident nonchalance.
Bravo! I'd like to see more clarity on the solo in the future. I have a 325v59 Mapleglo and still have problems distinguishing the control knobs. Looking down at it (as playing) the front 2 are for the rhythm and middle pick-up, the bottom the volume the top tone? The rear 2, bottom is volume and top is tone for the bridge pick-up? The pick-up switch, up, is middle and neck pick-up. Switch middle all 3 PUs. Down, bridge PU? I purchased it used, I don't believe the wiring was fussed with. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment, I have no idea about the wiring. I had it changed recently to what the original 325 was like - still not used to it but the guitar sound WILD! Way louder and much more versatile!

Well, do give it some thought - I'm interested in getting one off someone in the northern hemisphere sometime. They go way cheaper in the US and in Japan than I'm able to find down here...
I saw one of these in a guitar shop today - I cannot believe how bloody tiny the thing is!!!
The real kicker - they want $5000 for it. You are not imagining things. What can I say - Australia is not the place to live if you want to buy a guitar for what it's actually worth...
It really hit home just how absurd it was when I saw the guitar in person. I knew these things were supposed to be small but - WOW! Midget guitar. I desperately want one now, but I'll be finding one a bit ... cheaper ...
That depends on how long you can hold onto it - hehe, I have a year and a half of college fees to take care of I'm afraid. Are you in a hurry to get rid of it?
Great playing! How about paint it black, put on a Bigsby, change the knobs and bridge? If you want to make the guitar look more like John's? ((I know John's was that finish at first)) :)
I think I want to get the C64 as well...I just bought an another guitar three weeks ago - a Custom Shop Gibson ES 335 - not allowed another one for a while!
I got the guitar from Guitar Center in LA - I got the Ricky 350./12 from Sam Ash in LA in December - much nicer people - Scotty V - he's the man to buy from
great job tho mate, you didnt just play the chords, you had that junky-chunk rythym to it like john did. i just bought a 1988 Rick 320, so ill be doing a cover soon, be sure to check it out! :D thanks again
I have the 350v63 i know you have the 12 string, but do they play much the same or totally diff and if so which do you think is the better (if thats the right word).
I have played the 350 but not the V63 - only the regular 350 with 24 frets. I doubt there is much difference between the 6 and 12 string however, the 6 is probably a lot more usable. I once played Susanna Hoffs actual 350 - it was quite cool - it had a ricky humbucker at the back and really rocked! If I was to get a 350 I would probably do the same BUT, for the 350 V63 - leave it as it is.
You joke lol, when i see you playing I look at my guitars and think "maybe I should try the drums" haha but only took up the guitar a yr ago, I bought what i thought were quality guitars the 350v63 liverpool and I also have a maton, and the epiphone casino (revolution) lot of guitar for a novice. I see people get ripped to bits here by good guitarists and i would be a target lol. Iam quite happy watching people like you play and then try to emulate them. :)) So "Dont let me down" lol Steve
Wow, you have a nice collection - I was thinking of getting the Epiphone but went for the Ricky. I couldn't carry two guitars and two suitcases back from LA by myself otherwise I would have got the Epi as well.
Stick to the guitar - forget about drums - too difficult to lug around!
Hello from NZ, outstanding mate,couple of questions, can you still buy your type of guitar (325/58) I think?. And do you do any lessons etc I was really impressed cant wait to see the others iam subscribing as we speak, enjoy blighty happy new yr to you. Steve
Sorry about the solo! I was planning on doing it properly but with the heat of the moment, I just got carried away!
Also the last verse is played a bit wrong, but it will do. Incidentally, I have at least 10 to 12 versions of the Beatles playing that song live, John's parts are always a bit different. Which makes it more interesting!!
Awesomeee cover!! I want a Rickenbacker so badd so I can get that nice, dark, rock & roll tone.
