Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
On November, 17th 1964, while recording one of their live BBC
sessions (BBC Sessions, disc 2, track 18) The Beatles used the
feedback intro for I Feel Fine, though this time the sound was
not as sustained and fulfilled as on record, which proves that
they used some other means, besides their own guitars and amps
as in the BBC studio. Quite a few people knew at the time that
any guitar, mostly acoustics, can get feedback very easily. On
the I Feel Fine single recording session (October, 18th 1964),
John used his Gibson J-160 E, P-90 single coil pickup, plugged
into his Vox AC 50. In a quite rehearsed manner, Macca's bass
opening A note fed back John's pickup, which he had approached
to that effect to Paul's Vox AC 100 amp and its vibration got
that famous buzz, for the first time on record, in his open A
note (the rest of the strings were surely muted), though they
delayed the introduction of the effect more than can be heard
on the BBC sessions & let it ring much longer than they could
afford in their live sets.
