Get Back


"Get Back" is a rock song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. Released as a single on 11 April 1969, it features Billy Preston on keyboards and is notable for John Lennon taking on a prominent lead guitar role, an uncommon position for him. For electric guitarists, studying this track offers insight into straightforward, groove-driven rock riffing and the interplay between rhythm and lead guitar in a classic Beatles recording.

  • John Lennon plays lead guitar prominently on this track, a rare role reversal from his usual rhythm guitar duties.
  • The single version was credited to 'The Beatles with Billy Preston,' one of very few Beatles singles to credit an outside musician.
  • The album version includes a 20-second studio chat between Lennon and McCartney at the start, absent from the original single release.

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.
