When I'm 64

I finally learned another song. It's a cute song by The Beatles. The guitar rendition is by Tommy Emmanuel. As with all of Tommy Emmanuel's renditions of The Beatles songs, this song uses the "boom chick" plucking method once again.

Took me a while to learn it, amidst all the piling school work, but it was worthwhile and fun. Makes me feel happy when I play this song 'cause it's such a happy tune.

I made another video using Adobe Premiere Pro 2, to zoom in on the fretboard and plucking hand. Hopefully, it'll help those of you who are interested in learning the song. Tabs are below. Enjoy!
