Solo 0:48

I eliminated the second verse and refrain. Harrison used his newly acquired Sonic Blue Strat – I used a 2006 Highway 1 Stratocaster played through a Vox AD15VT set to AC30TB w/ no effects. Min Bass, Min Mid, Max Treble with Fender .010-.046 Super Bullets. Lennon used his Rick 325, which I don’t have, I used a 1966 Gretsch Country with .010 -.046 nickel plated wire wound strings. The amp was close-mic recorded with a Tascam DR07 digital recorder and then mixed with the backing tracks created from the original recording. Compression and EQ were added during mixing. The volume pedal for the rising notes in the bridge was simulated using an automated fader during mixing. No tabs.

For the E chord during the verse, Lennon plays it up at the 7th fret O799XX and then momentarily hits the E7th with O797XX. You can hear him clearly practicing this between studio takes 1 and 2.    • the Beatles - Day Tripper Takes 1 & 2   at 2:15.

Pan full left to hear the backing performances of Lennon and Harrison. Pan full right to hear the overdub performance of Harrison throughout the song and Lennon during the bridge only.

The electric guitars are played through a Vox AD15VT set to AC30TB with min bass, min mid and max treble and the amp is close mic recorded with a Tascam DR01 hand-held digital recorder. Acoustic guitars are recorded with the Tascam DR01 hand-held digital recorder about 12 inches away from the neck and midway between the 12th fret and the sound hole. Effects are added during mixing. My performance, with compression, is mixed with the backing tracks and the whole mix is limited. This is the way the Beatles recorded these early tunes. It is difficult to duplicate the sound with just the guitar and amp.

My videos are really intended for accomplished guitarists who want to polish up their Beatles repertoire and can benefit from "seeing" how a song is played - I am not a guitar teacher and do not provide tabs. I welcome specific questions. If the various chords that I am playing are not familiar to you then I would suggest that you visit some of the many free guitar chord sites. I had to learn these songs by listening to vinyl records and watching live performances on tv.
