Sweet Little Sixteen - The Beatles - Live At The BBC - Guitar Cover (4K)

Welcome back to yet another Live At The BBC Beatles Cover! I plan to do many more of the BBC songs featuring the J-160/Country Gent combo until I can get myself a Chickenbacker (or preferably a Rickenbacker!) Sweet Little Sixteen was recorded on the 10th July 1963, and broadcast 13 days later on the 23rd July. It features a loud and raucous sound, reminiscent of the groups days in Hamburg, playing the Red Light District. The song features a slightly unusual arrangement, with George beginning the song with the opening riff, played on his 1963 Gretsch Country Gentleman, as he then turns to play the Rhythm Guitar, chugging away with a bluesy shuffle pattern made famous by Chuck Berry. John carries the song too with his Rhythm Guitar, playing harsh strummed chords, and the occasional blues shuffle, before turning to play Lead Guitar for the solo. This has been misidentified in the past as Georges Guitar solo, however I have some reasons to believe that John played the Solo; The Guitar heard in the intro, playing the descending line, is undoubtably a Gretsch Country Gentleman, and the tone of the guitar does not match that of the Rickenbacker325, or the Gibson J-160e George was most defintley playing his Gretsch for this song, which makes it hard to believe he played the Solo, as the timbre of the guitar playing the solo is 100% identical to that of a Gibson J-160e My final reason, although slightly harsh, is that the Solo is very heavy handed and messy, with open strings striked and fumbled slides, its unmistakably John Lennon in a rock and roll induced frenzy. 0:00 - George opens the song with a descending line 0:10 - John adds a fast strumming pattern that imitates his vocal part 0:25 - George imitates Pauls Bass Shuffle 1:08 - John strikes the open D string as he slides messily into his fiery solo, descending back down the neck to the open E and B strings 1:16 - John fumbles the solo, and plays a cluster of a Bb and B 1:32 - As John releases from the solo, he allows the open strings of the Guitar to ring out 2:03 - John again adds his accented strumming pattern 2:07 - George moves higher up the neck to play higher inversions of the A and E shuffle pattern 2:16 - In the outro, George accidentally strikes the higher strings whilst playing the final E shuffle For my video, for Georges part, I am using my Gretsch Country Gent, plugged into my Vox AC30-VR Valve Replicator amp, recorded with my Rode NT1-A Condenser Microphone placed just around the top left corner of the right speaker cone (as was customary at EMI/Abbey Road in 63/64) The settings on my AC30 were Master Volume at full, Tone at mid-way, Treble slightly cut, full Bass, and Secondary Volume at around 1/4. For Johns part, I am using my Epiphone EJ-160e, plugged again into my VOX AC30-VR Valve Replicator amp, recorded with my Rode NT1-A Condenser Microphone placed at the top left of the right speaker cone. The settings on my AC30 for Johns part were identical to Georges save for the Master and Secondary volumes, which on Johns part were Master Volume at 3/4, and secondary volume at 3/4, in order to achieve a naturally distorted sound, by cranking both volumes way high! ~~~~~~~~~The Gear I Used~~~~~~~~~~~ Gretsch G6122T-62 Country Gentleman Epiphone EJ-160e Vox AC30-VR (Valve Replicator) Rode NT1-A ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you so much for watching!
