Get Back - Paul plays the Rickenbacker

[zizoumonk]

If you’re a musician, half the pleasure of Get Back is just seeing all of the iconic guitars and gear they used.

Paul on Rickenbacker, John on Itchenbackhere.

Corrected title, “Paul doesn’t play the Rickenbacker”.

[willrobinson]

The Hofner sounds absolutely KILLER on Get Back and every other recording on which Paul used it. Nylon strings, played with a pick and Paul's palm-muting makes a unique, thick, KICK-ASS sound.

I wish that Macca would play the Rickenbacker more often these days……I know he is more associated with the violin bass, but the Rick sounds fabulous, and was used on most of his post-Beatles recordings………

[fogman]

Always wanted a Rickenbacker. Such a great instrument.

Paul plays the Rickenbacker, John scratches his butt.

[davidteller]

Actually, this should be called "Paul almost plays the Rickenbacker"

[russellnelson]

Gotta love John standing up and pulling his underwear out of his crack. Stuff like that humanizes these legends and icons. Can't wait to see the three installments.

The amazing moment of change of basses, it's right here!

[JesseFleyva]

NOT John Lennon digging into the depths of his crack at 0:04

I don't know anything about the technicalities of instruments, but the Rickenbacker has pretty colors, so I like it

[randysmith]

As always, there’s Ringo just waiting in the background. Waiting for a song to start up and he starts to play, doing his job which is lay down his perfect drumming job.

[alexyerkey]

He was jamming on it with the A string in the E string nut slot. He also told George Martin he doesn’t know what any of the tone knobs do, I found that unbelievable

Paul's Rickenbacker "Psycedellic Paint" 4001 Bass is really beautiful. Wish Paul Reuse back That Beautiful Rick.

[kafkic]

Anyone else catch it in the background during the end credits (Jan 31st recording session)? Sanded down to it's ~natural~ finish

[juansanin]

The most beautiful songs of Rock and Roll ! The Beatles !❤❤❤

[johnsain]

Influenced me getting my lefty Rickenbacker (see pic)....was being made in the Rickenbacker faciity in August 1975...the same time Paul's was also there getting worked on just before his 1975-76 tour. : )

[willdwyer]

Paul is complaining that the Rickenbacker is not properly configured for left-handed use. The strings are configured properly but the bridge and the nut are not, and the strings are sliding as a result.

[cindyscott]

It's interest how the finish on the Rick changed from it's first appearence in this scene, to the filming of the performance version of "Two Of Us, " where the stripped to the bare wood Rick is seen in the background by George & the drum kit.
