Think for Yourself

“Think for Yourself” was written by George Harrison and included on the Beatles  1965 album Rubber Soul. Together with “If I Needed Someone”, it marked the emergence of Harrison as a gifted songwriter alongside John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

One of the distinctive features of the original is the fuzz bass part which serves as a lead guitar counterpoint to the vocal melody.

My instrumental arrangement includes this part, though in my case done on a baritone guitar. I have also added an 8-bar interlude before the final chorus.
