Geoff Emerick explains that, once John, Paul and George had agreed upon trading solos on "The End," Lennon for once asked Yoko to stay behind while he entered the studio with the others. Yoko looked stunned and hurt. Emerick continues:
While they were practicing, I took great care to craft a different, distinctive sound for each Beatle, so that it would be apparent that it was three individuals playing and not just one person playing an extended solo.

Yoko looked stunned and hurt. Emerick continues:Which proves that none of them were great guitarists who had their own distinctive style. Otherwise he would not have had to take "great care to craft a different, distinctive sound for each Beatle." Just average guitarists among all of the guitarists

Started a poll in the Beatles thread in a music forum.
Do you know what the "Beatles Three Guitar Battle" is?
Poll runs till Sun Mar 20, 2022 1:24 pm
Yes 0% 0% [ 0 ]
No 100% 100% [ 3 ]
You're not making sense. Emerick gave each guy a different guitar sound -- therefore they were average guitarists?
It doesn't follow either that Harrison couldn't play his own song (WMGGW) "correctly." Presumably Harrison believed Clapton could craft a better solo. If Clapton had declined the offer, do you really imagine that a Harrison solo would have been "incorrect"?

I said that every Beatles fan I know is aware that all three guys take turns playing solos on "The End."

Suppose, in any event, that these people aren't aware of the guitar solos in that song. All that means is that they are ignorant of the issue. Are you trying to get me to take pity on them?
I've got a corpulent, illiterate neighbor who stumbled over last week to tell me that he considered Putin "savvy" and "smart," and that the U.S. should not be concerned about Ukraine.
This is a person who spent his whole life making accusations of "communism" and "socialism" against anyone he didn't like. He's forgotten all this now in his eagerness to parrot Trump and Tucker Carlson.
I tried to tell my rustic acquaintance about Putin's ugly history -- his invasions, his use of political assassination, etc. He said that he didn't know anything about any of that. I suggested that he inform himself and moved on.
Well, he came ambling back the other day to tell me that his buddies from the Elks Club didn't know anything about Putin's history, either.
It wasn't clear to me what sort of impression he was trying to make. The only thing I came away with is that my fat neighbor's buddies are as stupid and ignorant as he is.

I'm not surveying morons in the street like your asshole neighbor. I'm surveying hard core Beatles fans who know every song they ever released, but somehow never heard of this supposed thing that Geoff claimed was...
one of the most epic 3-way guitar duels in rock history !
Only one of the most memo
