Help – one of the all-time great Beatles albums – was released in 1965.

The acoustic guitar strummed by John Lennon on that album has sold at auction for almost three million dollars -- having been lost for fifty years.

The organisers of the sale say it's the highest price paid for a guitar at auction in Beatles history.

David Peterson plays with the tribute band Beatlemania.

Newshour asked him how he feels that the guitar has been sold for such an enormous price.
