Principal recording took place at Abbey Road Studios in London, with Phil Spector co-producing the sessions. The line-up of musicians on the track has been hard to ascertain due to conflicting recollections. Harrison said that the musicians included "about five" acoustic guitarists, Ringo Starr and Jim Gordon on drums, two piano players and a bassist. He recalled working hard with the other acoustic guitarists "to get them all to play exactly the same rhythm so it just sounded perfectly in sync".
