The opening chord to A Hard Day’s Night is also famous because for 40 years, no one quite knew exactly what chord Harrison was playing. Musicians, scholars and amateur guitar players alike had all come up with their own theories, but it took a Dalhousie mathematician to figure out the exact formula.

hmm, now that you mention it, they don't specifically say. it's an A with the piano's F on top (impossible to finger on the guitar), but other than that :dunno:.

They probably couldn't publish it because the Rolling Stone article bought the rights to the story or something like that.
