Back to "Taxman"-
I'm in Barnes & Noble today, checking out some Beatles' books. One of 'em is a "Complete Recording data" kinda thing...GREAT!
For "Taxman", this book sez-
McCartney-bass, backing vocals
Lennon-tambourine, backing vocals
Ringo-drums
Harrison-lead guitar, vocals

LEAD guitar?! No way! We all know that's Paul...so much for that book's accuracy.
I get home, pull out an old Guitar mag that has a section on "Classic Beatles' Riffs"...it talks about Harrison's rhythm playing on "Taxman" against Pauls' pulsating bass part. That sounds right...IMO! ;)

Now, I'm surfing around for some clues...BTW, on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's, anyone know who the ONLY one wearing sunglasses is?
Anyway, check out this guy's Beatles' page Link Removed
What his problem?
