Paul McCartney

George Harrison would look at it and go, okay.

Because immediately he knew what we knew.

We'd all learned it all together.

Ringo would tap out a rhythm kind of thing, and we trusted him to know what to do.

And then 20 minutes later, we were recording that song that no one had ever heard, including the producer.

First time I met John was at the Walton Fade, yeah.

through a friend of mine, my best friend at school, who was called Ivan Vaughan.

He was born on the 18th of June, 1942, same day as me, in Liverpool.

And he knew John, so he introduced me to John.

But...

John pretty much knew what I knew.

Actually, in the very beginning, John was playing banjo chords on his guitar because his mom had taught him those chords.

So I would sort of say, well, you know, that could go like this and show him how it was done on the guitar.

But it was all very just one-on-one.

We were hoping for that.

You know, that was the idea that was prevalent at the time.

was that you would do what all these other people had done.

You didn't quite know how you were gonna do it, but I think that's half the battle is just having that bold ambition.

So we just assumed we could do it if they've done it.

And we'd learned a lot of their tricks.
