Ticket To Ride- The Beatles (Guitar Cover)

Описание: Thanks to meticulous notes that George Martin made during the Help! album sessions, we know exactly what guitars and instruments were used on Ticket To Ride!
The backing track consisted of George Harrison on his Rickenbacker 360/12 12-string, John Lennon strumming rhythm guitar on his Fender Stratocaster, Paul played his Hofner bass, and Ringo on drums

Martin notes that only two guitar overdubs were recorded:
George on Stratocaster
and Paul on Epiphone Casino

This recording was the first session for the new Help! album. It took place on February 15th 1965. At this point, the Beatles were using Vox AC-100 amps exclusively in the studio for their electric guitars

Hats off to Ably House and Michael Sokil who discovered the little Epiphone Casino noodling at 0:21 and 0:52

Paul overdubbed his Casino on the breaks before the verses, and the outro solo. He most likely used his bridge pickup with the tone knob rolled down, which is what I did here too

Because the only other guitar overdub listed by Martin was Harrison on his Fender Stratocaster, it's safe to assume that George was the one playing the single A-string notes AND the volume pedal swells in the choruses. This is further proven if you listen to the stereo version of the song and hear that both the A-string stabs and swells are in the same location (middle)

The chord that occurs during the volume swell section "ticket to ri-hi-hide" is a mysterious one that was hard to crack. It turns out all three guitars are playing different chords at once. The Rickenbacker is playing X25432 which is a G major 7 with a low B. John's Strat plays XX0432 which is a D6
The overdubbed Stratocaster plays XX5422 which is Gmaj7 with a flat 5

However, at 1:00 John accidentally plays XX0532 which is a D7 chord

I'm using my 1999 Rickenbacker 360/12v64 with roundwound strings into my Vox AC-30. I added a lot of compression afterwards with Waves plug-ins, and Abbey Road Plate Reverb on all the guitars

My Epiphone Casino is a new 2021 USA model with Gibson P-90 pickups in a Royal Tan finish. This is also going into my AC-30 top boost channel

For John's Stratocaster part, I'm using my 2022 Custom Shop Fender Strat straight into the AC-30 TB channel. To my ears it sounds like he was using position 2, which is the middle and bridge pickups out of phase. This was only possible on their vintage strats by jamming the switch between the middle and bridge positions

For George's Stratocaster overdub, I'm using the same Custom Shop Sonic Blue Strat into the Top Boost channel of the AC-30. But first I'm using my Analogman King of Tone pedal as a boost, into my Ernie Ball Volume Pedal
