We Can Work It Out

"We Can Work It Out" is a Beatles classic written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, first released as a double A-side single alongside "Day Tripper" in December 1965. Recorded during the Rubber Soul sessions, the song reached number one in the UK, US, Australia, Canada, and Ireland. For electric guitarists, it offers a study in the band's tight rhythm work and the interplay between contrasting song sections that defined their mid-1960s style.

  • Released as a double A-side with "Day Tripper" in December 1965, giving guitarists two iconic riffs to learn from one single.
  • The song was the Christmas number one in the UK in 1965 and the seventh highest-selling single of the entire decade.
  • Written by both McCartney and Lennon, the song features distinct sections reflecting each writer's contrasting musical approach.

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.

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.
