Subject: Re: [Words] Lennon’s guitar
From Wikipedia on Maurice Gibb:
"... including using the acoustic guitar given to him by John Lennon, which
he used on "This Is Where I Came In", 2001 "
I suspected Elvis Presley on backing vocals but not John Lennon on guitar.
John's playing really improved in the twenty years since his last previous
recording. It was thoughtful of Maurice to let John use that guitar again.
Evidently John walked off with it, since for the video Maurice had to mime
the part with one of his own.
As I recall John gave Maurice the guitar at the conclusion of the "Have You
Heard the Word" session, but because both of them were stone drunk at the
time, the next day John could not remember what happened to it. Maurice
gave Steve Kipner his bass guitar on the same occasion, and the engineer
stopped Steve Groves from giving John the studio's piano. I don't know
where the drum kit went. I swear I don't.
