Astroblast i feel fine12/15/2023 ![]() ![]() I think there is some rhythmic similarity between the two songs. Lennon's lick is much more intricate and uses all fingers of the left hand up in the 10th position of the fretboard, giving especially the little finger a good workout. Parker's lick is a very common R&B lick out of the "What'd I Say" category that can be played on a guitar with one finger in the first position. Tom from Freiburg, GermanyI am not sure about Lennon "borrowing" the lick from Bobby Parker.The Beatles disbanded in 1970 but during the last week of December 1972 "Imagine" by John Lennon was #1. Then in 1969 they missed by one week Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" was #1 during the last week of December that year ("Something" was #1 the week before). The last week of December 1963 "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was at #1. Barry from Sauquoit, NyIn Australia the last week of December was very lucky for the Beatles.everybody knows it was George Martin having a quick shave while waiting for the Beatles to set up their equipment. Roy from Slough, United KingdomAll this talk about how the opening note was created is silly.I play guitar, so I tried it, and that is the sound, exactly! Which is to say, I can duplicate that sound any time, on any guitar, without fussing with volume, distortion, fuzz or anything else! However the Beatles did it, or say they did it, well, that doesn't matter to me when I can recreate that sound, precisely, on demand! I'd read that it wasn't feedback at all, but just John hitting the plucked A string with his thumbnail. Cachiva from HoustonHave to add my two cents about the feedback.It's one of those identifiable sounds that as soon as you hear it you know what song it is. Jennifur Sun from RamonaWhat ever they used for that Fuzzy tone it made the song for me.It’s almost as if there is an implied “but” before “she’s in love with me and I feel fine.” Anyway, I hope this interpretation is right because it makes it a much more interesting and much cooler song! The other guy is her “baby”: the one who buys her the diamond rings. One guy is the singer who the girl is in love with (and doesn’t buy her diamond rings). I think there are actually two guys in this song. Happy from UsaI have to say I disagree with the interpretations of this song as a simple la-la love song. ![]()
