Nicely done gents.

Have seen many tribute bands and even the original Broadway Beatlemania show, as a child.

You nailed this 101%.
Truly an excellent rendition.
👍👍🎶🎵🎶👍👍
Even John's left hand control of the string push [8th notes pressure] (which truly makes it 😉😎) and sadly, many players never truly grasp or even realize.
