In the song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is an ongoing guitar riff that for years I could never figure out; then one day, EUREKA!! I had it! And now I'll share it with you.

  • Thanks for the comments. I should post some of my original tunes on this here "you tube". I do sing; I also play bass and drums and program keys. I also want to post the intro to "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel. I figured that one out this weekend. As far as a tab goes for this riff; I'll do what I can.

  • What guitar where you using?

  • That's a genuine 1972 Fender Tele Custom. I doubt it was the guitar used in the song. Also, I doubt it was Lennon who played that riff. I would have to say it was probably McCartney. Lennon and Harrison didn't like the song too much.

  • The recording is two guitars, but this is as exact as you can get with doublestops and bends. Only serious audiophiles would complain (and who needs them!!)

  • Harrison used a Brazilian Rosewood Telecaster on the "Let It Be" sessions, although I don't know if he had it for the "Abbey Road" sessions. It was released in a very limited edition. I've got one. I image that John 5 has one, as the majority of electrics in his fine collection are Telecasters. As to the actual production run, I don't know the number produced. Extremely rare.

  • @forzaazzurri06 An Electric Guitar lmfao

  • @jsmyers24151 I'm pretty sure Harrison played that. At least that's the way it looks on the clips of them performing it.

  • Piece of cake, everybody.

  • The most accurate on YouTube.

  • @jsmyers24151 harrison did use a tele to record abbey road though

  • lesson please!!!!!! or tabs this is a great version

  • @Lowqualitystudios go watch the abbey road movie you will see John there

  • he showed us the break not how to play it but great job it sounds amazing!
