And Your Bird Can Sing...what pedal to get both guitar parts?

thanks for sharing...pretty damn good bud, nicely done...what does Dolemite know anyway?...lol...just kidding of course...

were you singing the harmonies as well or was there another person singing?... When I was recording my stuff a few years ago I did all my own singing...come to think of it I did everything!...but anyway, as the years have gone by when I listen to it now, I wish I could have had another voice to give it I bit more depth, for lack of a better word, as my voice is mediocre at best and certainly not as nice as yours....

The Beatles sure came up with some amazing stuff...I never appreciated it as much until I started to learn how to play it

Since this thread caught my eye, I started up my version of this song (recorded back in '12) and listened to it trying to recall how I did it and with what guitar. I recorded two tracks with at different octaves no capo involved and I used my Gretsch 6119 for both tracks. I make mistakes in it but, that just adds a bit of character   in the recording. I still think it came out pretty good. The Beatles version sounds like only one guitar is playing it's so tight. I wonder if that's true?

If that's Paul and George playing that lead, it's flawless.

Edited to add: I just watched that video you posted, Tequila Rob, so as to see how it was played and if it was any different than how I played it to maybe find an easier way to play it. The answer is...no...he played it pretty much the way I did. All over the fret board and he didn't sound too bad actually. He pretty much nailed the sound. What did he do to get 'the sound'? 

Ok, here is my lead track I did for this song. I have edited it so there is no space between them. Less than a minute and a half long. It is not flawless like what the Beatles did (perfect) but, may be helpful...somehow(?) . Since its two guitar tracks, you can pan left or right for each sound (Doing this may be hazardous to your ears, caution is advised... ) Let's see if this works:

You guys that are playing this are blowing me away!! Nice work.

Ha!...had no idea I had it on my Itunes...pretty cool version...a bit more lively than the final version of it...near the end of the song is where you hear 2 different lead solos'....hard to say...it could be just George..especially since the guy in 1964 did it by himself

It sounds like 2 separate guitars to me. The articulations are just wrong for the harmony part to be played in a linear fashion up and down the fingerboard like the guy in the tribute band does. He nailed the tone but moving up and down the neck to get the lower harmony in place is too broken up because of the necessity to slide the 6th intervals up and down the neck. The album track is much smoother and more precise with the picking of the notes. Specifically the lower harmony part. There is a pull-off in the lower part near the end of the section that would be near impossible to do and make it sound that precise while playing both parts at once. George was pretty good but he ain't no Tommy Emmanuel and that's what it would take to execute it and make it sound the way it does on the recording IMO. I'm not sure Tommy could even do it and make it sound that way. Yes, the parts can be played all at once. No, I don't think it can be done in one pass and sound how it does on the album.

I tend to believe Ringo as well. He said there were 2 separate parts. Why would he lie about that?

If you have a multi-effects peadal that has a harmonist built in, such as a Boss ME-80, you could have one preset for one key and another preset for the other. By the way, great playing guys.

Wonder if my ME 70 can do this as well ? That example of the Beatles version in my last post starts off with George's Ric 12. I believe it is used also, later in the song as it get's closer to 'the sound'.
