I have always thought it was only George playing the solo. Several books about the Beatles recordings say that it was performed in unison by Harrison and Lennon. The pair played identical "sonic blue"-coloured Fender Stratocasters on the track. The harmonic was George alone.

It sounds like a demo version, much like Strawberry Fields Forever from Anthology 2. It’s very magical listening to these songs this way.

After all the larking about and pulling funny faces, when John got down to business he could really deliver the goods. Because he sometimes had a rather casual, even dismissive, attitude towards his own talent and towards The Beatles' collective talent, people can sometimes forget that he was one of the great originals of the 20th Century.

Cool 😎 It’s like John at home before he brought the song to the studio.

This song is the reason why John was such a great songwriter. As a kid in the 80s I loved it, as an adult now you realise how deep it is and how it works on so many levels. He seemed to be able to write simple songs that appealed to so many.

As much as paul had a good singing voice ,it was johns voice who made the Beatles sound like the Beatles

He said he wrote this song out of frustration from having temporary writers block. He'd been trying all day to write a song but was getting nowhere, and that in turn inspired the song.

They made these years a little easier to live though, thanks Winston.

It's so fun to sing along harmony parts on this

Brings tears to my eyes...

After nearly SIXTY years! My favourite ever Beatles song! Like catching up to a long lost friend, and appreciating them more than ever.

I really love john's sweet voice ❤

It's hard to listen to this edit and think that Lennon didn't write this song with a personal background, I don't care what any article or Lennon himself says in person. This "version" sounds like a sad, lonely man with his guitar, singing about sadness and the feeling that nothing really makes sense in lines like "Making all his nowhere plans for nobody" while at the same time he gives himself words of encouragement and tries to cheer up with lines like "You don't know what you're missing/Nowhere man/The world is at your command". It's moving to think about it this way and I really thank this edit for giving me this new perspective and loving this song even more than I already do.

Excellent! John‘s voice was so different. I always wondered exactly how he developed it and “found“ it. Really haven’t heard anyone else with a voice similar to it.

Just another song he knocked out. Required several hours. Lennon wrote hundreds of these - all brilliant. A genius makes it look easy.

I don’t consider myself the biggest beatle fan but something I loved about this guy. He was real. Not perfect I can’t really describe it.

Please do early Beatles stuff like this like P.S. I love you, She loves you, This boy, etc. It'll be magical to listen to those songs this way. It's like hearing them for the first time again cause I definitely enjoyed this one.
