Ticket to Ride was missing from the selections, as was I Want You (She's So Heavy).

But one acoustic gem that I've always loved, also missing, was I Will, from the White Album.  Was that Paul on that one?

Pretty sure that's Paul on the guitar. Might be wrong, though.

I Will is Paul. Day Tripper is George.

Hmm, kind of a short list. No Let It Be, Octopus's Garden, Something, Hey Bulldog, and the many other selections people keep bringing up...

However, of McLen's personal favorites, I had to pick "I'm Only Sleeping" because it was such a mathematical/technical feat. I do enjoy how the guys all play off each other in "The End", however.

I think The Beatles music was moulded the way it was because niether of the two designated guitarists were great soloists. I think the best solo is on Taxman, but that's Paul, so I've gone for 'And Your Bird Can Sing'. George's most interesting solo by far.

It was of course a hard choice, but I picked I Feel Fine. I just love that song soooo much because of the amazing solo and the amazing guitar all throughout the whole thing. The End came pretty close, though.

And while I'm talking about it, does anyone else notice that at the end of I Feel Fine where it's fading out there's like this weird noise that kind of sounds like a dog barking? I don't know if it's just me, but if you turn it up loud, especially with headphones on, you can hear it perfectly clear.

Quoted from juniorsfarm
'And Your Bird Can Sing' is my favorite Beatles song, but you can't narrow the guitar breaks to just one. "Till There Was You'' was awesome by George. The backwards "I'm Only Sleeping'' is brilliant. I like the acoustic riff at the beginning of 'Bungalow Bill', the list goes on. I think there should be a separate forum just for Polls. Its just gotten way out of hand and whoever puts them together is just slapping down some of their own favorites. Its ridiculous.


I did Taxman.

BTW, I don't think the acoustic riff at the beginning of "Bungalow Bill" is a guitar solo by George, or anyone. I read it's a Mellotron, a keyboard instrument that when you press a key a loop of tape plays. Although I never figured out, doesn't that mean someone had to play the solo to put on the tape in the first place?


I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

yeah, if you listen to the actual bootleg of it without the fade, i think it's paul doing that noise.
