This article does not yet have a related to do list. If you can think of any ways to improve the article, why not create one?

Lead Guitar

OK, it states in the article that George Harrison played lead guitar in the song. But in the credits, it says George Harrison and Paul McCartney both played lead guitar. Which is it, one or both? Democraticmacguitarist (talk) 11:54, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are two guitars on the solo. One is doing a high part, one is low. Ive read McCartney played both. But when live it would have to be George..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.153.204 (talk) 13:20, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, now it states in the article that George Harrison played lead and in the credits it says Paul McCartney played lead. Which is it? Democraticmacguitarist (talk) 16:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think one, if not both guitars, is George. The article cites a book that has often dubious claims of who played what, even though it is written by an "expert". Anyone with a good ear can tell that the credits in this book are often way off.

Tambourine?

There's no tambourine on this song. There are maracas though. The fact that it is sourced as being a tambourine makes me think that the writer of the book cited was mistaken, which happens. I am changing it to credit Ringo as playing maracas and I am removing reference to the tambourine. 76.100.57.219 (talk) 06:31, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like maracas to me, but it could be something else, and MacDonald was unsure. He listed it as "tambourine (?)" in his credits list, and then wrote that "The percussion instrument with which Starr shakes up the middle eight is unidentified." (He had access to the EMI docs for the track.) The credits should be sourced, and we should avoid WP:OR, so how about this compromise: I'll change that instrument to "percussion". — John Cardinal (talk) 13:46, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
