Sun King/Mean Mr. Mustard- The Beatles (Guitar Cover) Abbey Road Medley

Access tabs here! https://www.patreon.com/posts/abbey-r... The Beatles recorded Sun King straight into Mean Mr. Mustard on July 24th 1969 for the Abbey Road album. It was part of the long medley on side two The backing track consisted of Paul on bass (with a fuzz face pedal), Ringo on his Ludwig kit, George on lead guitar and John on rhythm guitar. They recorded Sun King/Mustard separately from the rest of the medley songs, but on the album You Never Give Me Your Money fades into Sun King To my ears, George used his Rosewood Telecaster on neck pickup. It's bright but still full sounding. He used a Fender Twin Reverb, with the amp’s tremolo effect. He starts Sun King with no tremolo and then turns it on at 0:15 and off again at 2:28 I'm using my 2007 Fender Hot Rod '52 Vintage Telecaster on the neck pickup, into an Analogman King of Tone pedal for a slight boost. My amp is a 1974 Fender Pro Reverb amp, which is very similar to the Twin Reverbs the Beatles used. The tremolo settings on my amp are: Speed at 6.5 and Intensity at 8.5 John Lennon used his Epiphone Casino into a Leslie rotating speaker for both songs. He didn’t use a pick for either songs, fingerpicking during Sun King, a technique he learned from Donovan in India in 1968. He most likely used his bridge pickup with the tone knob rolled down slightly. He used these settings often, including on the Rooftop Concert I had to listen to the isolated tracks to fully understand what fingering John used for Sun King. Although the chords are F sharp minor to E major, John fingerpicks the open Low E string throughout the verses- 0X2220 to 0X2222. Paul's bass plays F sharp but John stays on low E I'm using my 2021 Epiphone USA Casino on the bridge pickup, with the tone knob rolled down to about 7. I'm plugged into my Strymon Lex pedal in STEREO! The Lex emulates a Leslie rotating speaker, and has the ability to run in mono or stereo. I chose to run it in stereo into two amplifiers, for your listening pleasure. The two amps are my 1974 Pro Reverb and my 1965 Fender Bassman. The Lex is on slow speed setting My Gear: 2007 Fender American Hot Rod '52 Vintage Telecaster (w/Custom Shop '51 Nocaster pickups) 2021 Epiphone Casino USA Royal Tan Analogman King of Tone (boost side for the Tele) Strymon Lex (Casino) 1974 Fender Pro Reverb 1965 Fender Bassman Neumann TLM-103 Shure SM57 Thanks for watching!
