Yellow Submarine

"Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles is a children's song written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, released on the 1966 album Revolver and as a double A-side single alongside "Eleanor Rigby." It served as Ringo Starr's vocal feature on the record and reached number one in the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Its simple, repetitive structure and chord progression make it an accessible and recognizable piece for beginner electric guitar players to learn.

  • The song won an Ivor Novello Award for the highest certified sales of any UK single by a British songwriter in 1966.
  • "Yellow Submarine" was intentionally written as a children's song, giving it one of the simplest chord structures in The Beatles' catalog.
  • It was released as a double A-side single paired with "Eleanor Rigby," one of the band's most contrasting pairings in tone and style.

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.
