<P> The group recorded `` Something '' on 16 April before Harrison decided to redo the song , a new basic track for which was then completed at Abbey Road on 2 May . The line - up was Harrison on Leslie - effected rhythm guitar , Lennon on piano , McCartney on bass , Ringo Starr on drums , and guest musician Billy Preston playing Hammond organ . On 5 May , at Olympic Sound Studios , McCartney re-recorded his bass part and Harrison added lead guitar . At this point , the song ran to eight minutes , due to the inclusion of an extended coda led by Lennon 's piano . </P>
