Well done, YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Hit the ROOT NOTE OF THE CHORDs stonger to sound more ROBUST & FULL! I should mention I've seen all four of The Beatles in Concert 2 times, at that time all you really heard was screaming girls and some parts of the songs they were performing. I saw them in Los Angeles,CA and Seattle,WA , if I remember rightly, it was in 1966 I should mention another great song is NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS by Paul McCartney, very strong and pronounced, you can really pounce on the A7 Chord in the song!

Well done, you have all the chords in perfect position! Try an introduction chord of G7 I've seen all four of The Beatles in Concert 2 times, at that time all you really heard was screaming girls and some parts of the songs they were performing. I saw them in Los Angeles,CA and Seattle,WA , if I remember rightly, it was in 1966 just before I went to Vietnam. I should mention another great song is NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS by Paul McCartney, very strong and pronounced, you can really pounce on the A7 Chord in the song!
