It's a double-tracked George lead vocal. Paul is just the harmony. I don't think calling the song a duet with Paul would make George very amused since he felt he had to bring in Eric Clapton to play just to get it recorded.
@@murmursmeglos The Beatles had already recorded the bulk of the song when George brought in Clapton to overdub the guitar part. Paul always gave his best on George's songs.
Just the one bass, played by Paul on his Jazz bass. An electric 12 string doubled the bass in the bridges. John only plays the organ in the bridges, sharing a track with Paul's piano.
I do think that there are two guitars tripling up Paul's bass on the bridges. One being the Fender VI along with another guitar. The organ was recorded on it's own track as it's separated out on the 2018 mixes. I could be wrong about that though as the organ is high enough that eqing the track could separate it out somewhat. After listening to the 5.1 mixes the organ is played somewhat sporadically sometimes during the first verses I think I'll release that on it's own as this isolation wasn't too good for the organ.
@@isolatedstems Just a 12 string doubling the bridge bass. No VI on this recording. George added more organ on to track 8 while Paul and John share track 3 for piano and organ - this is written on the tape box.
@@marcusphelan57 It's definitely tripled up on the bridge at least. On the atmos mix the rear left track has the overdubbed bridge guitars separated from the bass. Listening to it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1UHECwfaFvb00wVASQ26GXIE5efYlY6ng/view?usp=sharing . There is a lower guitar part and a higher guitar part. It may not be the Fender VI but it's possible as they were using the Fender VI more during this time.
@@isolatedstems I only hear a twelve sting which is heard most clearly at 14:11 here. I've had these stems for nearly 15 years and they happen to be one of the best in terms of separation and don't require the AI treatrment. In all this time discussing this song not one person has pointed out where the VI is supposed to be. I've never heard it on this song and I wonder why it would have been added to the bridge along with the 12 string. It's not on the tape box either.
