<P> The influential distortion sound of the guitar track was created after guitarist Dave Davies sliced the speaker cone of his guitar amplifier with a razor blade and poked it with a pin . The amplifier was affectionately called "little green", after the name of the amplifier made by the Elpico company, and purchased in Davies' neighbourhood music shop, linked to a Vox AC - 30 . In 2014, Dave Davies accused brother Ray of lying about participating in Dave's guitar distortion sound . Dave wrote on his Facebook page, "My brother is lying . I don't know why he does this but it was my Elpico amp that I bought and out of frustration I cut the speaker cone up with a razor blade and I was so shocked and surprised and excited that it worked that I demonstrated the sound to Ray and (Kinks bassist) Pete (Quaife)... Ray liked the sound and he had written a riff on the piano which formed the basis of the song' You Really Got Me' and I played the riff on my guitar with my new sound . I alone created this sound ." </P> <P> According to recent Kinks' releases that give full official performance credits of the track, group members Ray Davies (vocals and rhythm guitar), Dave Davies (lead guitar), Pete Quaife (bass) are joined by session men Bobby Graham (drums), and Arthur Greenslade (piano). Regular Kinks drummer Mick Avory plays the tambourine . </P> <P> The guitar solo on the recording has been the subject of the persistent myth that it was not played by the Kinks' lead guitarist Dave Davies, but by then - session player Jimmy Page, who later joined the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin . Among those claiming Page played lead guitar was Jon Lord of Deep Purple, who also claimed to play piano on the track . Page has always denied playing the song's guitar solo, going so far as to state in a 1970s interview cited in Sound on Sound magazine that "I didn't play on' You Really Got Me' and that's what pisses him (Ray Davies) off ." Rock historian and author Doug Hinman makes a case that the rumour was begun and fostered by the established British rhythm and blues community, many of whose members were resentful that an upstart band of teenagers such as the Kinks could produce such a powerful and influential blues - based recording, seemingly out of nowhere . </P> <P> Shel Talmy, the producer on the track, has gone on record and put the controversy to rest in an interview with The Guardian, saying "contrary to myth, Jimmy didn't play on' You Really Got Me' ." In a 7 November 2014 interview with SiriusXM's Town Hall series, Page confirmed again that he did not play on the song, saying "Oh, Crikey! I wasn't on' You Really Got Me,' but I did play on the Kinks' records . That's all I'm going to say about it . But every time I do an interview, people ask me about' You Really Got Me .' So maybe somebody can correct Wikipedia so people won't keep asking me ." </P>
