One of my favorite McCartney tunes on acoustic. Many moons ago, my guitar teacher showed me how to play this. At one point, I could pull it off fairly well. That was long time ago. Now I can hardly remember it.
Great song.
It took me a while to learn it also. I watched an old video of McCartney playing the song, and that’s how I figured it out. His technique is by far the easiest.
