ALL MY LOVING

Lennon/McCartney | With the Beatles

BERNIE MARSDEN: “I always listened to George carefully and I practiced and practiced — as much as my fingers could take. I’d play the guitar with the album and hear George play the solo in ‘All My Loving’ and then the impeccable guitar in ‘Till There Was You.’ These days, we are aware of George’s love of the country guitar pickers, and the solo on ‘All My Loving’ certainly has elements of Chet Atkins and Scotty Moore. It swings beautifully within the track, and I remember mastering the very last lick. Alright, ‘mastering’ might be overpraising myself at age 12, but it definitely made me aware that I could actually make the guitar sound a bit like George, and that was a huge moment of influence for me.” CHRISTONE “KINGFISH” INGRAM: “I love the melodic lines George plays in this solo. There’s a subtle rawness to his playing that is indeed inspiring.”
