What I'd like to do eventually is have a proper list of instruments played for each song. So, whereas now it might say John Lennon: vocals, electric guitar, tambourine, it might say vocals, Rickenbacker 325 electric guitar, tambourine. It's a nerdy thing and most won't care, but I'd love to have that much detail.

That kind of details would be very nice from you, Joe, I'll love them.

 

 

Speaking of instruments, putting aside the classic Hofner and the Rikenbaker that we saw in "sgt. Pepper" and "All you need is love", did Paul used another basses?

 The best source for this is probably Andy Babiuk's Beatles Gear book (http://www.beatlesfabgear.com/). 

This book is fantastic!

I actually love reading up and doing this kind of thing, so given time I'm happy to write up about the guitars.

As I said before, please don't feel obliged to help, but if you happen to know what was used I'd really appreciate the info. A lot of the earlier recordings are pretty easy as they didn't have many guitars, but from 1965 onwards it gets a bit ...]]> Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:06:42 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/revolver-album-recording-details/#p1953 Recording and musicology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/revolver-album-recording-details/#p1953 Joe said:

This is my fault - sorry, been offline for a couple of days. The comments can be found on the Revolver song pages - click through from http://www.beatlesbible.com/al...../revolver/

MJB - many thanks for these - it's much appreciated. If you have any notes on the actual model of instruments that's be even better, but please don't feel obliged. The other thing I'd suggest is that people might not know what 'Everett's take' refers to, so perhaps don't worry about listing them as this.

(Most likely, they're taken from an ALTERNATE take of the "Taxman" solo.)

Whilst they might not be 100% accurate, I think he's done a pretty good job.

Depending on whether these are deemed useful, I will, in time, add more to other songs / albums if required.........

and if that's OK with our Chief Honcho Joe.  

Footnote: Joe - isn't it time consuming!!!
