Okay,

Who played that speedy flamenco intro on "Bungalow Bill"?

Re Bungalow Bill; I read that they "sampled" the part off a Segovia record using a Mellotron. Then played it back by simply holding down a key when they used it for the song intro....can't remember where I read it, though..

Here's one 4 ya: who played the electric piano part/solo on "Revolution"?

Nicky Hopkins. Some people still insist it was Macca. Nope.

What's this I hear about Macca playing both guitar parts on "And Your Bird Can Sing"? That can't be true, can it?

Since we started the trivia thing on who played what, here's an easy one: Who played the electric piano on "Get Back"?

Hey - how about my "And Your Bird Can Sing" question. Was that Lennon/Harrison or McCartney/McCartney playing the awesome lead?

Ed--I believe I read on "voxTalks" that they all 3 played the lead on "Bird". I think it's a 3 part harmony solo....Maybe someone can correct me if that's wrong......?

M - Interesting. I've played it before as a two parter. I never noticed a third line and it sounds good w/two. Can someone lend M & I a hand? I always thought I could hear Lennon's playing on this on the record and was dismayed to hear Macca may have played that part....

I know for a fact Harrison played on this, as in a Guitar Player "Beatles played right" they quoted to George saying "About all I can remember is playing some extraordinarily difficult part in the middle eight".

Cool - that's encouraging...anyone else!
