I Me Mine


"I Me Mine" by The Beatles is a George Harrison composition featured on the 1970 album Let It Be. It holds the distinction of being the last new track the Beatles recorded before their break-up, making it a historically significant piece for any guitarist to study. Harrison's arrangement alternates between contrasting feels, offering electric guitar players an engaging mix of rhythm styles and a direct look at his signature compositional approach during a turbulent period for the band.

  • George Harrison wrote 'I Me Mine' as a reflection on ego and self-centredness, themes that surfaced during intense internal conflict within the Beatles.
  • The song originated from January 1969 rehearsals at Twickenham Film Studios, originally explored while the band considered returning to live performance.
  • Harrison temporarily quit the Beatles around the time this song was written, making it a direct musical document of the group's most fractious period.

George Harrison's sonic blue 1961 Stratocaster delivered the ice-pick treble leads on Rubber Soul sessions, its standard Fender single-coils cutting through the mix with brilliant clarity. The Strat's bright tone contrasted beautifully with the warm Filter'Trons of his Gretsch guitars, expanding The Beatles' textural range.

Harrison's rosewood Telecaster provided twangy, biting cleans during the iconic 1969 rooftop concert, its simplicity and directness fitting The Beatles' stripped-down live approach. The Tele's sharp attack complemented the Vox AC30, delivering punchy midrange definition without the need for studio processing.

Vox AC30

The Vox AC30 with top-boost was the sonic foundation of The Beatles' signature chime, delivering harmonically rich cleans with natural compression when pushed at moderate volume. Close-miked in Abbey Road studios from 1962 through 1965, it captured clarity and presence that defined their recorded tone without excessive breakup.
