Part 3/9:
Harrison recorded a double-tracked lead vocal for the song's beginning, and the collaboration among the band members became evident as Paul and John contributed harmonies and callbacks throughout the piece. The session also included an electric guitar solo—initially played by George—before Paul stepped in, delivering the dramatic solo fans recognize today.

As the song developed over subsequent sessions, including the addition of elements like cowbells and tambourines, it became clear that "Taxman" was destined to be the opening track of Revolver. This decision marked a significant endorsement of George Harrison's growing songwriting talents.
