Helter Skelter - Beatles

When you bang that low E string, you're supposed to hit it hard enough to bend it slightly out of tune. I believe this is more George's part than John's.

@pablofederdeltenis Just straight into a Marshall AVT 50H half-stack.

julianoazL is quite right. because of the mix on the White Album, it is hard to hear, but there is a discernible semi-tone bend on the E. it just sounds different becuase we are hearing julian's guitar on our faces. now, there may be a point to be made about how much j. is bending there, but not bending is NOT an option if you want to do what George is doing.

@romeosyne You could bend behind the nut, I suppose.

@psi4rick You sound like my father.

@julianoszL Listen to the White Album recording. It's supposed to go up a semi-tone when you hit it.

@romeosyne, The Beatles were abusing studio equipment a lot in their recordings.

Great videos. You're right about that slightly bendy out-of-tune E-string. Remember, it was McCartney and Harrison on the guitars and Lennon on the bass (and sax) on this tune. Search around YouTube and you will find an isolation mix of Lennon's bass. It's very punk rock.
