    My arrangement of the Beatles’ “When I’m 64”. I’m using a basic Travis picking pattern in the right hand, and the solo section is mostly arpeggio based with some neighbor-note stuff and bebop style lines. The guitar is a Collings OM1 (the Baggs pickup is not plugged in).

    Very nice!Having turned 64 last week, I particularly enjoyed listening to this.In the film Yesterday, reference to When I am 64 is the first clue that something is wrong with The Beatles.

    That is an absolutely stellar arrangement, and the playing is flawless. Perfect arrangement and tune selection for a Collings with its clarity.

    My suggestion is that you also share it with the folks over at the Acoustic Guitar Forum (AGF):

    Show and Tell - The Acoustic Guitar Forum

    The link should take you directly to the "Show and Tell" sub-forum where folks put their performance videos. This is too good to not share widely.

    Damn that's nice! I'd pay to see that. How come the guys in behind didn't give you a standing O at the end?

    And, I don't see a mic so how did you record that since you say the pickup is not plugged in?

    Thanks for listening! The recording was done with a large diaphragm condenser and a pair of stereo ribbon mics.
