Red 333 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 OK, I'll play. From the same "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" special as the "Heartbreak Hotel" performance was taken, here's Paul playing his Texan on the beautiful Jenny Wren. Written as a kind of stylistic companion to Blackbird, it's also a lyrical companion to that song and Eleanor Rigby. Oh, and how about that Texan? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGabe8p6pY4 Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 . Alright - You guys posting this great Macca stuff have caused my morning coffee to spread over lunch . . . And it's been very pleasant.

retrorod Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Wonder why Paul never switched out the pickguard to a lefty? Probably just 'showing off'...? I didn't get to listen to the video...It shut me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 . Wonder why Paul never switched out the pickguard to a lefty? In the days of 64/65 there might not have been that much time for a young world-conqueror to change pick-guard. He just turned the guitar up side down and recorded all my troubles seemed so far away in second take. Same thing with the Martin D-28 a few years later : Opposite bracing ? Who cares ? I've got songs to do ! Since the 90ties, the D-28 used on stage is an authorized lefty, but the Texan is the very same, , , and of course have become a trademark. An icon of the era.

BigKahune Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 . I see your point Em7. Thank goodness for YouTube - - I checked and it had that whole C&C at Abbey Road special (in 7 parts) - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chaos+and+creation+at+abbey+road&aq=0 So I watched the whole special. Never had seen it. Loved him pulling out his old equipment. Really enjoyed it. So to whoever started this Macca flood - Wiley, Tommy, Red - Thanks again guys.
