Solos in Beatles Songs

Their solos doesn't seem to be especially appreciated in comparence with many other elements - and consists of quite short glimpses.

Anyway I've taken some curious time recently to remember and discover Beatles' instrumental passages, those which should be counted as solos.

On piano they're often played by George Martin, who opens my favourite list :


1
in IN MY LIFE : on Piano


2
in SOMETHING : on Guitar


3
in MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER : on Moog Synth (and guitar related)


4
in FOOL ON THE HILL : on Recorder


5
in GLASS ONION : Screaming voice and Strings (almost like a solo)


6
in ANY TIME AT ALL : on Piano and Guitar synchronized


7
in LADY MADONNA : on Saxophone (sordinated?)


8
in OCTOPUS'S GARDEN : on Guitar (with Bubbles)


9
in YELLOW SUBMARINE : Machine sounds and Voice commands


10
in PENNY LANE : on Piccolo Trumpet


11
in MARTHA MY DEAR : on Brass ensemble


12
in OLD BROWN SHOE : on Guitar


13
in I'M DOWN : on Hammond Organ (second time)


14
in HEY BULLDOG : on Guitar


15
in HONEY PIE : on Clarinettes and acoustic Guitar


16
in FIXING A HOLE : on Guitar


17
in BECAUSE : on Moog Synth(?)


18
in WITHIN YOU - WITHOUT YOU : on Sitar and Dilruba (versus Strings)


19
in THE END : on Drums






Outside this genre?:

in DON'T PASS ME BY : on Bluegrass Violin would've been a perfect solo - if it hadn't filled the whole song

in AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING : sounds like a great Guitar solo, but functions rather as a riff

in FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR. KITE : Circus soundscape effects

in SEXY SADIE : on Guitar through the end - probably more of a coda than a solo?
