Notes

Studio recording, January 1969, 'Let It Be' sessions; George Harrison played the Rosewood Telecaster through a Fender Twin Reverb. Lennon played an Epiphone Casino through a Twin Reverb for the riff section. Focus here is on the clean rhythm/riff part, not the fuzz/distorted lead. No evidence of pedals or outboard effects on the clean riff. All gear confirmed from Get Back session and rooftop performance footage.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic accuracy and clean chord stabs, but no advanced techniques or fast passages, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
