Free As A Bird Clue?
This is one of the more far-reaching clues anyone has come up with in this great conspiracy. The image on the left above is supposedly an image of a decaying corpse, presumably Paul's, as it fits into the 60if story. There are actually some who believe that this reflection of trees and a light post in the rear window of the police van is actually a real image of a corpse, but I find it hard to believe that this could have been planned as a clue as the image just happens to form out of the trees and light post.

Paul's Right Hand

Ok, let's depart from height and facial features and look at something else which is noteworthy. For this next section I am going to show a series of pre-1966 and post-1966 photos of Paul playing his bass guitar. As someone who plays the guitar myself, there are certain things I see which are most definately consistant with the way he formed his right hand on the neck of his bass over the years. Every guitar player has their own unique look and technique which sets them apart. Yes, there will always be similarities between players, but there is also a uniqueness in how every player's hand appears. What I believe we see in this series of photographs is that the right hand in all of these photos is the same one.

I think we could probably say that this finger and hand position would qualify for a trademark as it seems to be the one he most commonly uses. Perhaps a better comparison would be if I could display these pictures in motion so you could also see his mannerisms as he plays, the way he moves his fingers, etc. My point: You can get all the plastic surgury in the world in order to make yourself look as much like someone as you can, but even if you were able to pull THAT part off, which is questionable in my opinion, there will still be the problem of not only learning how to play the songs correctly, but you also have to learn to LOOK the same playing them, and be able to sing the same, etc. Too many hurdles to overcome...and after having watched Let It Be, there is no question that it is Paul McCartney singing and playing...the voice and the mannerisms are the same.

But what about how he plays another instrument...say like the keyboards? Well, for one thing, and here we go with his right hand again, he has a tendency of not using his thumb when making piano chords. For all of you keyboard players out there, you know that this would be an unnatrual, as well as unschooled, thing to do...especially for a professional musician. But alas, I see this same tendency in Paul from times past right on into the present. Compare the right hand on the piano keys...in the older ones it is a bit difficult to see clearly, but if you know how to play keyboards you will be able to tell by the position of his hand that he is only playing with his fingers:

Hard Days Night 1964

Concert For NYC 2001

Although in the picture from Help! it is a bit difficult to tell that he isn't using his thumb on the keys, the picture from Hard Days Night clearly shows his thumb isn't on the keys. Is this merely a transitional position? Maybe on the Help! pic, but he is banging chords in this sequence from Hard Days Night.. The other two pictures leave no question as you can clearly see his thumb is a long way from the ivories. To take this a step further, I received some images and a fade from a good friend from the macca4ever forum which shows an astounding resemblance between Paul's right hand between 1964 and 1967 while he plays the piano.
The photo on the left is from a teen magazine in 1964. The picture at right is a still frame from 1967 taken from the Beatles Anthology. The orientation is different so the pic at left had to be rotated 90 degrees in order to get the two hands in the same orientation. The results of the overlay and fade are astounding!

GOT YA, EH?

This seems conclusive to me that we are looking at the same person's keyboard-playing form. I cannot play with my right hand without using my thumb on the keys, and I'm quite sure there is a host of keyboard players viewing these pictures who would agree with me. If you look at the shape of his fingers and thumb, there can be no denying this is the same hand in these photos taken both BEFORE Paul allegedly died, and AFTER. You can do a lot of things to imitate someone, but you cannot immitate their bone structure and subconscious mannerisms.

Thanks to my friend Randy for providing these images.
