Re: OT While my guitar gently weeps



Title: Re: OT While my guitar gently weeps
The Leslie cabinet is a fact, not a guess, Per.  As for the guitar used, this is also well documented, it was a Les Paul....

Here it is on "Beatles Songfacts"

http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=153

"The guitar Clapton used on this was a Les Paul."

No, I meant the playing - not the sound with which Eric/George (I
believe it was Eric playing George gear) was playing. There is also an
organ mixed at the same side as that lead guitar and the organ has a
lot of tonal sway to it and you can easily take one for the other. It
might even be that the guitar was played through the same Leslie
cabinet but with the speaker rotation stopped (on a different tape
bounce than the one they laid down the organ on).

You can tell by ear it is a Telecaster too, BTW.
