[End] NOTES: 1. This is solely my interpretation of the sonorous chords played on this track. The dwell vibration on the guitar strings is increased by the full step down tuning. As visual proof of the power chord transition's, watch John Lennon’s hands on the third fret of his Epiphone, ‘Casino’ neck, in this then current video of the song. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x132si_beatles-paperback-writer_music 2. The 'Paperback Writer' recording was bass boosted and the signal was enhanced to produce the loudest pressing that EMI had delivered, to that date. “…”Paperback Writer" is marked by the boosted bass guitar sound throughout, partly in response to John Lennon demanding to know why the bass on a certain Wilson Pickett record far exceeded the bass on any Beatles records. This changed with the "Paperback Writer" single. …” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperback_Writer 2. “…A guitar that John Lennon played on the recording of The Beatles song 'Paperback Writer' is expected to fetch up to $1million at auction. Lennon gave his Gretsch 6120 guitar to his cousin, David Birch, in November 1967 a year after the hit single was produced in April 1966 at London's Abbey Road studios as part of the sessions for the band's Revolver album. …” http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/john-lennons-rare-beatles-guitar-4388282
