Nice! I love the enthusiasm.

[A Lark Ascending]

Great chord. Always assumed it was one guitar. Might explain why it always sounds faintly out of tune.

[Johnny E]

Love it!

[Hardbopjazz]

That was great. Thanks.

[umum_cypher]

That was great. Thanks.

There's a (quite funny) 40-page chapter on that chord in this great book by Dominic Pedler. Can't argue with the master tapes, but Pedler says, via George Martin, that there's some piano in there too.

[JSngry]

I've always heard some piano in there, yeah.

[mikeweil]

Piano style guitar, that is

[BeBop]

Enjoyed it. Thanks!
