The End

I’ve listened to its guitar solo 1000 times but I never knew this

Fifty-four seconds into the song, before the famous last line, which is played over piano chords, are 18 bars (or measures) of guitar solo: the first two bars are played by McCartney, the second two by Harrison, and the third two by Lennon, then the sequence repeats.[26] Each has a distinctive style which McCartney felt reflected their personalities: McCartney’s playing is in a somewhat rigid stacatto style; Harrison’s is melodic with pronounced string bends and Lennon’s is rhythmic, stinging and had the heaviest distortion. Immediately after Lennon’s third solo, the piano chords of the final part of the song begin.

Very very cool
