Hello all! I have been playing guitar for a few years now on and off (college and work just get's in the way too much!) and I am not really a good guitarist by any means, but I need something new to learn to sharpen my very dull skill...any who I was wondering....well, how can I play Triplet's like Lennon? Are there ways to warm up and really nail those notes?

From about 0:00 to 0:15 you can see John's right hand doing a simple down-up-down, up-down-up strumming motion. Practice slowly at first counting 1-trip-let, 2-trip-let, 3-trip-let 4-trip-let to get it.
Hope this helps

I like the "checkerboard binding" on the front edge of the stage.

Crikey, I don’t think I’ve ever seen 4 people look embarrassed, nonchalant and happy all at the same time like that before.
One of my favorite Beatles songs and one of the first imo where Paul comes up with a really excellent running bassline, changing nicely to standard 12 bar chops for the solo. Neat little chorus off beat as well.

John's wrist is very limber in the same way Chris Squire's is. (picture "Sound Chaser" here) I think its all in the wrist....
