John and Paul were the only musicians on this track, because George was out of the country and Ringo was filming The Magic Christian. After marrying Yoko Ono on March 20th, 1969, John wanted to record the song immediately. It was released as a single on May 30th

The backing track was recorded on April 14th with Paul on drums and John on acoustic guitar. John jokingly called Paul 'Ringo' and in return Paul called John 'George' during these sessions. After the backing was completed John overdubbed two electric guitar parts and percussion, and Paul overdubbed maracas, piano and bass guitar

John most likely used his 1964 Gibson J-160e acoustic guitar, the one he played during him and Yoko's 'Bed-In' to record Give Peace a Chance. He did also have his Martin D-28 at the time

John undoubtedly used his Epiphone Casino to record the two lead parts, into his Fender Twin Reverb amp. I'm guessing he was on the bridge pickup with the tone knob rolled down, his main setting at the time

I'm using my 1966 Gibson J-160e, mic'd with a Neumann TLM-103 condenser. My Casino is a 2021 USA Epiphone (in Royal Tan finish). I'm plugged into my 1974 Fender Pro Reverb

The Casino you'll hear on the left channel (of both the original and my cover) is slightly darker in tone. I rolled the tone knob down to 2.4
The right channel Casino is slightly brighter, with the tone knob on 3.2
I'm using the boost side of an Analogman King of Tone pedal to boost the signal

Interesting Notes:
0:03 The Casinos enter, sliding down the low E string
0:04 The right Casino plays a tiny E note on the A string
0:23 The left Casino enters the chorus late
0:26 The J160 plays alternating bass notes on the B7 chord
0:31 The left Casino slides up the neck after the final note of the chorus
0:42 The J160 changes to an E7 chord later than usual
0:49 The right Casino slides up the neck
1:03 The J160 pauses on the E chord briefly
1:28 The left Casino slides up the neck, then down before the bridge
1:30 Both Casinos play along with the bassline during the bridge
1:54 The right Casino slides down the 12th fret high strings
2:03 Both Casinos invert the chorus riff on E, starting on 1st fret of G and open (0) high-E, then the left Casino bends on the g-string when reaching the 4th fret
2:06 The Casinos play different descending E riffs here
2:10 The right Casino plays the normal descending E riff, while the left Casino bends on the 12th fret (like in the verses)
2:13 The J160 pauses on the E chord briefly
2:20 The J160 does not go to E7 chord at all here
2:21 Both Casinos slide down from the 12th fret high B and E strings
2:26 The Casinos slide down the low-E string at different times
2:31 The Casinos ascend the E riff at different places and times
2:47 for the ending, the left Casino plays the riff from Lonesome Tears In My Eyes by Johnny Burnette, a song they recorded live on the BBC in 1963. The right Casino barely plays but does double parts of the riff
2:48 The J160 does more syncopated basslines on the B7 chord here
2:53 The left Casino ends the song on an E6 chord 022120, while the acoustic plays a regular E
