I've always been confused by the percussion in Tell Me What You See, it sounds like there's a washboard or something being used. But according to Joe it is a güiro. Was this the only song that they used this instrument in?

It does sound like a guiro to me, but I guess that is kind of similar to a washboard anyways. I don't think I've heard them play it in any other songs.

wow you're right, I've never really noticed those bongos until now, they're quite mixed in and hard to notice. It's the same with A day in the life, I never heard those (congas technically) until I listened to the four track; they're also very interesting

This is one of the reasons that Ringo is a master drummer/percussionist.  Also, it is one of the numerous little intricacies which abound in the Beatles' music.  And yes, PB, I agree!  Those bongos can be heard just as frantic in "You're Going To Lose That Girl".

In paperback writer you can hear the tambourine on the third beat of almost every bar.

Excactly. It's that fast "chaka-chaka-chaka-chak" which fills the gap between the snares and makes it much more interesting.
