'The man' on the End is George, I"m pretty sure. I always notice Paul's playing, it's somehow a 'thinner tone' than George's, who has more technique. His solos with the Beatles(Taxman, Good MOrning Good Morning) are really rockin'--perhaps more so than Harrison's --but I think George is the better player overall.

I always thought John's parts on The End were the best solely due to the distortion effect. George's solos always sound sorta crummy to me. Don't forget he got his role by default, Macca was a MUCH better guitarist in the 60's.

I wonder if Brian would claim that he can play the drums? He did do some drumming on Love You and most notably Funky Pretty. Nothing complicated, but creative.

Way back in the first post, the quote attributed to Brian said he could play some drums.

There is also the picture of Brian playing guitar while Van Dyke watches on. Its in the Carlin book.

Haven't got the book at hand but I am positive it's the other way round.

You are correct. VDP is fretting what looks to be a G# and Brian is strumming it.




Looks more like C#m or C#m7 to me than a G#...can't really see whether his pinky is pressing down a string or not...
