Lead on Carry That Weight

Does anyone know for CERTAIN who is playing lead on Carry That Weight / The End (Abbey Road)? The style is Lennon, but the playing, with all due respect to JL, a bit too smooth / accomplished. Maybe it's in the liner notes -- I've got the MoFi LP with me today, which does not indicate track lineups.

Thanks.

Not sure about lead guitar but there are three separate guitar solos. John, Paul, and George each plays one. I'm not certain of the order so I could only speculate. This came from a college course on Beatles music. What a hoot that was.

I couldn't find my copy of "Beatles Songs" CMO refers to but Onhwy61 (nice name) is correct. Xiekitchen, for my money Lennon was the most expressive guitar player of the three.

found my "Beatles Songs" and Onhwy61 is correct. Also the drum solo Raquel refers to is the only drum solo Ringo performed on a Beatles album. If you have more than a passing interest in The Beatles' songs, check this book out.
