The production team used a street in Cardiff to emulate a well-known Beatles album cover photographed on Abbey Road (pictured). The episode was directed by Ben Chessell. It was filmed in April and May 2023. [11] [12] "The Devil's Chord" was produced in the fourth production block of the fourteenth series along with the sixth episode, "Rogue". [13]
In 1961, the Beatles recorded "Cry for a Shadow", a blues-inspired instrumental co-written by Lennon and Harrison, who is credited with composing the song's lead guitar part, building on unusual chord voicings and imitating the style of other English groups such as the Shadows. [228]
The chord is favored by Pixies lead guitarist Joey Santiago, with D 7 ♯ 9, reminiscent of the opening to "A Hard Day's Night", opening and being called the "secret ingredient" of the song "Here Comes Your Man".

Although Lennon once said of the song that he "wasn't proud of that" and "I was just going through the motions", [20] in 1980 he described it as "pure, like a painting, a pure watercolour". [12]
Harrison likened "If I Needed Someone" to "a million other songs" that are based on a guitarist's finger movements around the D major chord. [22] [nb 3] The song is founded on a riff played on a Rickenbacker 360/12, [24] [25] which was the twelve-string electric guitar that McGuinn had adopted as the Byrds' signature instrument after seeing Harrison playing one in A Hard Day's Night.
The group returned to take 3 of "Only a Northern Song" on 20 April, a day when members of the Yellow Submarine production team visited them in the studio. [57] The band started working on the song less than 45 minutes after completing the final mixing on Sgt. Pepper, demonstrating what Lewisohn terms a "tremendous appetite" to continue recording.
