Yes It Is- The Beatles (Guitar Cover)

George Martin's Help! session notes say that George Harrison played his Gretsch Tennessean with a 'foot pedal', while John played his Ramirez Spanish Classical. Yes It Is wasn't on the album, but the B-side to Ticket To Ride!

George used a volume pedal that originally came with their Vox Continental organ, into a Vox AC-100 amp. These volume swells from the same pedal can also be heard on 'I Need You', 'Here There and Everywhere', 'Wait' and '12-Bar Original'

I'm using my 1967 Gretsch Tennessean, just like George's with Hilotron pickups. I'm using an Ernie Ball VP jr. volume pedal to get the same fade-in effect. Sorry my volume pedal is scratchy- my cat's hair got into the pedal

at 1:57 George accidentally plays a Bb note

If you listen to the early outtake from Anthology 2, John is using his J160e with a pick and playing interesting inversions of chords like an A6 sus2. In the released version, he plays an Fsharp minor 7 instead on his Spanish Classical (no pick)

Gear Used:
1967 Gretsch 6119 Tennessean- vintage!
Admira Irene Spanish Classical Guitar
1962 Fender Tweed Champ Amp
Ernie Ball VP jr. (Analogman Taper Mod)
Analogman King of Tone
Analogman Small Comprossor
