THE BEATLES/ GEORGE HARRISON PLAYER STUDY
Wait - what's the count in for the intro again??
The intro/ count in of this classic song is one of the most confusing counts in all of pop music. My biggest tip is to start on the & of beat 4 (which will make it feel like your playing on the off beat), then play the verse riff after the drum fill. In a band, it's not too much of a worry for the guitar players, but it's a nightmare for drummers!
Here's two great videos that explain and demonstrate the count in of this song - all the best with it!
Finally, here's McCartney playing it himself with the same count in from the original recording.
