Nice work. That Rick deserves a vintage Vox amp. It will sound wayyyy different

Thanks. A Vox Ac30 from 60’s is a dream ❤

Excellent Sir!

Glad you liked it! 😊

Very interesting style Lennon had of playing rhythm guitar. Nicely done!

Glad you enjoyed it ;)

[@carlbaumeister3439]

Yeah, I dig that Rick you built, too!

[@jamescreswell9037]

He's not playing it as Lennon actually played it on the record or live. In fact too many of the chord voicings he fingers vs the audio recording presented ...very sus.

Really nice job. In particular, you've captured that somewhat muffled, nasal/quacking sound his Rickenbacker put out in the studio version. If you slightly flatten the A string, it’d be pretty much impossible to discern your version from the Lennon studio version. I understand the R' 325 tends to fall out of tune faster than many guitars. John strummed hard for many of their songs and that probably contribute to being out of tune, and who knows how many takes he did before retuning. You did an Impressive job.

Thanks for your comment, Howard. The roller bridge with the bigsby helps me to keep the guitar in tune

Very nice :) What's the model of that beautiful Ric?

[@walrusvr4792]

Lovely sound, only 2 chords wrong. Sorry I had to.( E,B7)

Thanks, dude

[@marcosandre00196]

It's not an E, it would be more of a E5

[@vayabroder729]

The fingerboard wood doesn’t look Rick. Is this a custom made guitar? Nice playing.

Yes, build by me. Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3bFYquBjZJ9h5Ysi=_wcgVyqZAtdiA9Ne

[@vayabroder729]

@ That rosewood you used on your build is probably better than what Rickenbacker uses 😉

@@vayabroder729I love our woods for musical instruments. The fretboard is a brazilian rosewood called ‘Jacarandá’. In the neck I’ve used ‘Pau-marfim’ wood and in the body ‘Freijó’ wood. All brazillian woods 😊

[@vayabroder729]

@ Beautiful!

[@carlbaumeister3439]

What’s that called again: Pau’l McCarfim wood? 😜

[@user-ym9cy1cy9j]

Used to love playing this music. Is it an ac15C1? Upgrading the tubes made mine sing. Are you using flatwounds?

Its a ac15VR. Yes, I'm using Rotosound Top Tape Flatwounded 012 on that guitar. This music is awesomee!

[@justinkrann7406]

Oh nice its just all the Chuck Berry songs.

Indeed!

[@chuckkirkpatrick6712]

NO NO NO NO NO ......John DID NOT play with all down strokes. C'mon, dude.....go back and study the films!!!

[@iPro3million]

The way he played songs live was usually different to how he played them on the record

[@jamescreswell9037]

Undeniably Lennon was a very aggressive rhythm guitarist, heavy on downstrokes & emphasis in the intro accompanied by staccato in the verses [*of this song in the particular*]. Pre-chorus he returned to a lighter & up-down conventional strum. Same lighter up-down in the initial bars of the middle eight followed by contrasting heavy down strumming where he plays the first form C alternating to his banjo chord form D rock and rollin' it with his pinky prior to returning to the verse.

[@jamescreswell9037]

@@iPro3million True of both Harrison & Lennon and most every other band.

[@user-nr7jo3si7v]

This is how he played on the record, not necessarily what he played live. See the doyen of Beatles song construction Mike Patchelli, it’s this. Everyone’s an expert.
