Fantastic to listen to the descriptions and background. How songs were developed, how they all interacted. The Highs and the Lows.

I looked at two or three versions of "All My Lovin". I also looked at several copies of sheet music. I did not find any sheet music that really transcribed what John was playing.

Do you think John was playing triplets?

If only there was film… Absolutely.

All My Loving

Yes, most piano sheet music does a poor job representing the actual instrumentation in a song. It'll typically put the melody in the treble clef, with some block chords, and the left hand roughly duplicating the actual bass line.

For a more accurate transcription, see the Gtr1 part here: https://www.learnguitarsonline.com/guitar-sheet-music/All-My-Loving-by-The-Beatles-Guitar-Sheet-Music-Free.html

Oh, and cool podcast.

it is also worth watching the sessions Paul has with Rick Rubin (streaming on Disney+) - there Paul mentions that John just felt like playing his rhythm guitar that way, because it gave the song more energy.

I have tried to see if I could just 60 seconds of John's rhythm gtr - but after 20-25 seconds my arm goes dead and I mess it all up, and during the whole attempt - it sounds ugly as ferk! All four of them, were actually better musicians than they're widely acknowledged for.

EDIT
The Beatles is almost religion to me
