Rick,

Cool. I think you did a sweet job.

I listened to your vid a couple of times and then went and listened to Neils lesson on this. I think you both missed something. The opening arpeggios should have some soft enhancements on them. First note of the measure stressed a bit louder and the rest a bit softer except for the 3rd beat. I wasn't sure so I went and listened to Paul play it. He somehow makes it stand out and have a different sound, not just by the lyrics either.

My other comment is on your playing position. I find that having my arm jammed up against my body that way is very restrictive and keeps me from playing my best. You might try moving your elbow out away from your body and see what that does for you.

Get a little lost on some chord changes

Thanks Andy, mainly to do with lounging on my furniture, posture not good for guitar.
