michonnegrimes:“The first distinctive element of the song, not to mention the most notable, is the repeating guitar riff that begins the proceedings and is being played by George without any other instrumental backing, much like John’s riff in “You Can’t Do That.” But while the riff from that 1964 classic song is used to form the framework of the song, the riff in “Day Tripper” absolutely permeates the proceedings. It’s the first thing and ultimately the last thing we hear in the song, this guitar figure endlessly repeating even on top of changing chords. Not that we mind; I don’t think there is any argument that this guitar riff is the most identifiable and loved riff within the entire Beatles catalog, arguably in all of rock/pop music.” - Beatles Music History THE BEATLES - “DAY TRIPPER” (1965) -- source link
