The Beatles - Yesterday (Isolated String Quartet Overdub)

Isolated string overdub from The Beatles' 1965 song Yesterday.
Little bit of extra info from George Martin: "Paul played his guitar and sang it live, a mic on the guitar and mic on the voice. But, of course, the voice comes on to the guitar mic and the guitar comes on to the voice mic. So there's leakage there. Then I said I'd do a string quartet. The musicians objected to playing with headphones, so I gave them Paul's voice and guitar on two speakers either side of their microphones. So there's leakage of Paul's guitar and voice on the string tracks."

    Am I the only one picking up a glockenspiel sound at 0:48-0:50, 0:58-1:00, 1:09-1:11 and 1:32-1:36??

    @@DLD2Music, but Paul is strumming first position chords on the guitar. If he were to do that high F, G, A, G, F, G sequence on it, he would need to be double-tracking the guitar. Not that that's unlikely, but it does sound exactly like a glockenspiel, rather than a guitar (at 1:09, for example).

    The way they recorded the strings was they played the master take (take 2, with McCartney on acoustic guitar and vocals) back into the studio room through a speaker as reference for tempo and key changes, which was standard practice before string quartets would use headphones for better isolation. As a result of the playback when recording, the microphones picked up the original master acoustic and vocal take of the song played though the speaker. That's what you're hearing at those times, just some of the guitar overtones and strumming noise that happens to be louder because Paul plucked the strings loudly there. The same day the strings were overdubbed, Paul double-tracked some vocals which can be heard during the first "I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday". I hope this clarifies things for you, have a great day!
