Maybe Carl Perkins as on Honey Don't or Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby? But if it has to be one of the Fabfour it's George 'picker' Harrison.
4yanx: nope, simply addressing the question who plays lead guitar. Check out this Perkins link:

It cites Perkins touring England in 1964. Did George Martin use him on some sessions? It wouldn't surprise me. In any event Harrison was a great admirer of Perkins. The picking on I Feel Fine bears some resemblance to the more countryfied feel of the Perkins tunes covered by the boys during the same period. I doubt frontman Lennon could have been bothered to learn the intricate patterns on I Feel Fine: interferes with me singin' don't ya see?
