Notes

Studio recording, 1965. No evidence of pedals or effects other than possible amp reverb. George Harrison played the main riff on the ES-335, as documented in multiple Beatles gear resources for the Help! album sessions. No evidence of live performance gear for this song; all details refer to the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires clean, articulate chord playing with precise timing, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
