Bic lighters weren’t around in Jan 1969. They came out in 1973.

It’s “baby”. He’s chuckling while he says it and it’s slightly garbled because of that.

Calling this a 12-bar blues really minimizes it. The brilliance is in the sound they created. Just a slippery and beautiful piece.

I don’t think Yoko used lipstick (or any other cosmetics) at the time.

I agree with that completely. The whole naked album (except “…Universe”, this version of which I don’t like) sounds so much more like a Beatles’ album. The original was just the usual Spector muddled mess. Never liked his sound anyway.

That fact that All Things Must Pass is the greatest solo album of the four and George’s “Green album” is as good or bettah.My Son is a lefty but he inhales everything George has ever done.And,he plays an SJ-200,my 63 Fender Strat(lefty),a PRS Custom 24 10 top,1967 Rickenbacker 360/12,& a 67 Telecaster.Yet he’s a lead vocalist.I suppose he was listening to my CD’s of George,Marvin,Al Green,Jimi,Bob Cray Queen,etc. on our treks across the lovely provinces of Canada.Cheers

The version in the Naked album helps to hear every instrument clearly. Frequently discussed in this web site Spector’s ruining of the Beatle sound, this song is one of those that makes you feel happy wherever you listen to it.

To get a decent tone on a slide guitar, the slide would have to
be hard, as not to mute the strings-
steel bar, cig lighter, metal lipstick cover, glass tube, bottle, et al.

A shotgun shell would not give the tone John was getting;
even if he used the the metal casing end (it could not barre all
the strings for the full sound)

just my opinion, based on some experience

Probably a BIC lighter. From the makers of BIC ballpoint pens.

Very interesting, but wrong. You’re overhearing or overthinking or both ~ he’s saying “baby”, baby.

A very Harrisonic/Pytonish remark, indeed …. GREAT

Yes, you’re correct about George saying “Elmore James got nothing on this failure” I always thought he was saying “baby” too. I listened to it several times after reading your comment. So thank you so much for that information.

I’m sure you can rule out a shotgun shell. If you look close it’s Shiney on both ends. It could be a lip stick. Doubtful its a lighter. Awesome use of it out whatever it is
