not sure of the "correct" way to play it, but it seems firlmy planted in the G minor pent scale. Lots of double stops, jumping to a G major in the D shape for the fast bit....

Hard to explain, fun to play

I don't know of a correct tab for this song, but if you want to learn it and other Beatles songs tne right way, check out Rob Taylor's video series Beatles To A Tee. YCDT is on volume 2, and both guitar parts are shown exactly as the Beatles did them. You can order these videos here:

David,
you'll find the perfect TAB notations in the Hal Leonard "A Hard Day's Night" music book. These are transcribed straight from the album,in the "Recorded Version Guitar" series!
These are fantastic, i have Sgt Peppers,Rubber Soul,AHDN,Revolver and a Greatest Hits, all from this series.
They are available in most music stores, if not, surely you could order it in!
Great song,always fun to jam on that one! I also have it on DVD, live in Melbourne in 1964.

Lennon doing his best Chuck Berry thing. Funny, every video/film of this live always cuts away from him as soon as the solo starts, even in Melbourne '64 - I would have loved too have seen him playing it through just once... :(

This has been a longstanding pet peeve of mine that the camera operator never seems to give us a look at anyone's solo...there seems to be a mentality of checking out facial expressions and audience members whenever a solo occurs.

How are geeks supposed to learn??

Watch in horror and frustration as the MTV idiots cut to the drums before EVERY ONE of Pete Townshend's windmills.

Thanks for posting that JW!
I have the full Melbourne concert on DVD. There's a rather public ridicule of Pete Best by John Lennon during the intro of one of the songs they perform! Not sure which song, but the intro goes a little like this;.......
John Lennon;..."And for our next song,here's one we all know BEST!
He looks over to Paul and George and repeats with a spastic facial expression...
........"We all know BEST"!
A real obvious dig at their former drummer! It was also at this concert that Ringo rejoins the band after Jimmy Nichol filled in for a major part of that tour!
Drummers must have been on Lennons mind that night!!
