Notes
Studio recording, January 1969, Let It Be sessions. John Lennon played the main riff/rhythm on his Epiphone Casino through a Fender Twin Reverb. No evidence of pedals or extra effects for the rhythm section. Gear confirmed by rooftop concert footage and multiple gear rundowns for Let It Be era.
