Yesterday - The Beatles, it is live on Youtube

Initially I thought this short and easy fingerstyle arrangement shouldn't take me more than one hour to practice, but my first impression was wrong. Even though the chord shapes (open chord C, F, G and some variations) are not difficult, it takes hours of hard work to achieve smooth chord changes (for me at least). I have listed a few tips I learned from my practice sessions below. My playing is still raw but you get the idea. Tab can be found in my Free Acoustic Fingerstyle Tabs section. Download MP3
Performance Notes

• Let ring of all bass notes, hold notes down as long as possible until next note change
• From 00:13 to 00:14, I use my pinky to hammer down and then pulled off with my pinky and 4th finger
• From 00:16 to 00:18, need to quickly change chord from power chord F to F on 5th fret (xxx565), then move down to open G 
• Repeat the same pattern from 00:34 again
• From 00:52 to 00:59, there are five chord changes (Am G7 F Em Dm) that require some practice to get them down, and then you need to quickly shift down to open G.
• Similiar pattern from 01:05 to 01:09
• From 01:10 to 01:13,  smooth shift from C (8xx989) to Csus4 (x3x011)
