I was born the same year as the Beatles. They are the music I think of when I remember being a boy, going to elementary school. They were the "old music" on the radio when I was in high school that always sounded fresh even up against things like the new Boston or Rush. How is that possible? Well to the extent that looking at the small number of instruments they used to make the magic they made can teach us anything...here goes. By far the last few years of the band are the ones that continue to touch me in a way they have no right to (ok, that came out a little weird, but you know what I mean.). So that's why I made this different sort of short history. I hope you enjoy it.

  • Thank you very much for this. I grew up in a home where the Beatles were just a bunch of long haired dirt bags. Myself, I was enthralled! I was born in 1955 and I was at the perfect age to "get" the Beatles. In fact, the reason that I became a rock musician was because I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show in '63 or '64. Hard to remember exactly but for me, that show was amazing! A deciding point in a young man's life. Now, I have a nice little studio, I've toured all over Canada and Europe, and life is well, as good as can be expected. I'm not rich but I am happy that I am a musician and I probably wouldn't have been if not for the Beatles.

    • The only reason you didn't see George playing a Strat when they debuted on Ed Sullivan was thanks to Johnny Guitar (from Ringo's former band). George had sought out a Strat through a want ad only to find out that Johnny Guitar had bought it an hour earlier. As a consolation Fender did get a talented paratrooper who loved Strats to promote their guitar.

  • The Beatles changed EVERYTHING with pop music. The Ed Sullivan appearance still has echoes today in how many players were prompted to pick up a guitar and form a band and became the stars of the 70's, 80's and 90's. How influential were they? Most people my age can sing at least some of any Beatles song when asked. Music is what it is today, because of the Beatles.

Molland moved to Minneapolis late in life, and sold this Tele to Willie's, a landmark St. Paul guitar shop. I've drooled over it a couple times, but never had the courage to ask to play it. It'd be like having a BMW in your lap, I'm too worried I'd be forced into indentured servitude for the rest of my life if I damaged it.

  • My friend during the late 80s and early 90s Miguel Ochoa briefly had possession of “Lucy” in the early 1970s. He saw it at Sound City for sale for $500.00. Knowing that it was a vintage Les Paul he bought it and provided his phone number because the guitar had just come in and it hadn’t cleared the daily stolen gear police list. He had planned to go to Guadalajara so he took the guitar with him. Of course the guitar was Harrison’s and he was told he had to give it back. Norm from Norm’s rare guitars found two vintage Les Pauls and George’s people took them to Miguel and told him to pick one and he took one of the provided Les Pauls and gave back George’s guitar. He later traded the Les Paul for a 1957 Strat which at the time I knew him was the guitar he gigged with. In 1987 George had a comeback album and in a magazine article he said Lucy had been stolen by a Mexican. I urged Miguel to contact the magazine with a picture of himself with his Strat to correct the story but he was a shy guy and didn’t do it. On the wikipedia page for Lucy the story is documented to Include the Lucy-Miguel history.

  • When the Beatles arrived from Hamburg most of the L Pool bands desired colourful Fenders. The Remo 4 had the first full Fender lineup in L Pool. I saw Lennon, Harrison and Mc, out front watching them in the Cavern. Musically the Remo were streets ahead of the Beatles, but the Beatles beat them on image. I think the Beatles choice of instruments was what made them unique at that time, especially the violin bass. Every musician in the Pool became aware of it. The image was dark and moody, and the Viola helped that image. All the other bands were colourful Fender, Shadows clones.

    • What is understated are the Burns guitars. They were popular with British bands being home grown. The Beatles rented the odd one or two, as did Elvis, for studio work. Burns had a unique sound.

    • Liverpool created a whole new genre of music called the Merseysound. The Beatles were not involved in creating that sound. The Remo 4 were, along with the likes of the Big 3. The Remo 4 were musically ahead of The Beatles in 1962 early 63. Listen to them and The Beatles, it is clear to see. The Beatles first single in 1962, Love Me Do, was dull and lifeless, being not well received at all by the musicians in Liverpool. It turned no one's heads. The Beatles then just took off going on their own path, leaving all behind in Liverpool, the UK and USA. It was like they had a eureka moment.

As much as I love this and your other Short History episodes, I can’t help but be saddened by the lack of these newer generations instruments and or bands. The Beatles changed the world with a Big Bang. Regrettably, I don’t think these types of inspirations are even possible today. Anyway, keep up the great work.

  • Thanks, Keith, for another excellent dissertation. The Beatles have always been so important to me. I was 14 when they played Ed Sullivan just a few months after the trauma of the JFK assassination had plunged the country into a collective depression. They provided a breath of fresh optimism that was so desperately needed. My first "serious" girlfriend was one of those screaming girls outside the Plaza Hotel in NYC. My musical holy trinity will always be The Beatles, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

  • Through most of the 90s, I played bass with Delaney Bramlett. George Harrison had given Delaney the rosewood Telecaster, so I've played it many times. Actually, not a great guitar. Well one day, Delaney was playing my bass. I had taken the finish off of the neck. I like the feel of raw wood. Well Delaney liked it too, so he handed me the "Rooftop Tele" and said that he wanted me to take the finish off of that neck. Believe me, I tried to talk him out of it. But he insisted. So the next day found me on my front porch, sanding the finish off of the neck of George Harrison's rosewood Tele. Surreal. I got it back to Delaney asap. I didn't like being responsible for such an iconic guitar.

At 17:23, the unique sound mentioned is partly due to the fact that McCartney put nylon strings on his '63 Höfner 500/1 on the Get Back-sessions. A close-up of those strings can be seen in this very video at 16:57. Also, the video is extra nice because of Tim Pierce.

  • Question for the Beatles guitars historians. On "Two Of Us" rehearsals for the Get Back movie George was playing the rosewood Tele on the "bass" lines on what I thought was the track they used on the album. I always assumed prior to the movie, it was done on the Fender VI. So was the Tele, with I would assume to be the tone rolled off, actually used on the "Two Of Us" Album track?

Part of the identity of any band, you know, the look thing. The Beatles wore suits for their live act for a few years, then gave up being a live band. Take a look at their fashion groove then, cheesehead. They wrote the book on it, those English guys.
