Released 18th November 2003. Paul is the most versatile bass player once again. The song was recorded in 1968 and master volume didn’t appear on Fender Bassman amps until 1969.The title “yer blues” isn’t merely a colloquial variant of “your blues” but is a truncated version of a sentence which would be something like: “here’s yer bloody blues for yer!” i.e. Then there’s very ungritty and idiosyncratic somewhat more musically upbeat tracks like Ob-La-Di, Honey Pie or Martha My Dear. View the upcoming schedule and the best seats available today. These included guide vocals, and a discarded guitar solo that can be heard during the instrumental break.I wish Apple would release more of the outtakes of this songOK, John’s my favorite Beatles and I’ve known many musicians who have loved to jam on this song, but I hate it. Same old the twelve bar blues. It’s not the happy upbeat Beatles we expect. “you make such a fuss about the blues so here’s my/our take on it, (along with, by the way, much heavier lyrics than any conventional blues song).”Lennon and Clapton together at that show with Voorman and Allen White totally rocked.I think John’s intention was to bypass the tremendous snobbery regarding ‘The Blues’ prevalent at the time. Not a soft, hypocritical attempt to recreate, sound like and rip off the tormented music of a southern share-cropper.What guitars did they use? The irony that somehow George, who had a disdain for Yoko could play notes on guitar that sound exactly like Yoko singing!Over the years this track has grown on me. This song just reminds me of those otherwise forgettable bands.I know this thread is old, but for the record, Paul played a Fender bass on this track, I watched them record this the night they did it…This is definitely an underrated song in my opinion. Er… I dunno, they kinda sounded like John to me.Interesting to see nobody mentioning the similarity to Heartbreak Hotel. Written by George Harrison, it was the B-side to "The Long and Winding Road" (in the US) and the eleventh track on the Beatles' final LP release, Let It Be. This brutal cut can clearly be heard at the 3’16” mark on the released version, with Lennon’s guide vocals captured despite being sung off-mic.John plays the first solo; George plays the second solo. A performer such as John Mayall for instance, whom I saw one night lecturing the audience that there was only one way to perform old blues songs and that was in the traditional way. They then made a number of reduction mixes, to free up more space on the four-track tapes. Elmore James got nothing on this baby.) There is this moaning guitar in the background in the later song that is a subtle but perfect feel.Brian Jones was the THIN MAN in Dylan’s songI always hear the first solo as being played by John and the one that directly follows to be by George. Ringo’s drumming is superb here. It’s not among my favorite songs by the Beatles or on the White Album, but I still think it’s a fantastic song either way. I was never a fan of Hendrix particularly, but that would have been something to hear!Mr. How was this achieved?i know that the original comment is 2 years old but acording to paul, he was playing a fender jazz bass on the white album sessions at that time and theres a big difference in sound between a fender jazz bass and a rick bass. As great as the Beatles verion was, this was just a little tighter. Ken Scott the sound engineer used an RCA 44-BX mic to record John’s vocals, a microphone generally used for percussion.actually Masters didn’t appear on bassmans until 1972 with the release of the bassman 100, the bassman 50 followed with a master in 1976You say that as if it’s fact. One of the reasons it’s one of my absolute favourite Beatles albums.The lyric “just like Dylan’s Mr. Jones” is very interesting to me. Blues beatles canta Red Hot Chilli Peppers. In the Ballad Of A Thin Man the journalist is now Mr. Jones who still doesn’t know what’s going on.It means “Your” – it’s a colloquialism.They then made a number of reduction mixes, to free up more space on the four-track tapes. It’s put through an osciallator, which gives it that ‘wobble effect’. Yes, I'm lonely Wanna die Yes, I'm lonely Wanna die Who could play it? Any thoughts?My guess is that this was played loud as hell and everyone’s ears were ringing by the end of it.So…who IS that playing that incredible sounding lead guitar?I’m particularly fond of the version John did for the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus as part of a supergroup called the Dirty Mac. yer instead of the more rounded your i would assume like d’yer m’ker or for an americal equivalent voodoo chile instead of voodoo childThe obvious “most emotionally revealing track is “Julia” and I don’t think Yer Blues eclipses either the empathetic sentimentality in Dear Prudence or the suspicious anger of Sexy Sadie.Paul uses his Fender Jazz Bass on this song, I’m 100% poitive.Exactly… I think John ask to George sound just like Ono singing… I´ve always thought that…Fantastic vocals by John Lennon and musicianship by all the Beatles.
