HI ,
Im trying to play Yesterday after Christelles video ( how to play yesterday)..
Lots of mistakes and yes i seem to have rushed through the song :)

its been a little under 2 years now that I started playing and a year since I learnt the overblows, so this wasn't easy for me..

will appreciate your feedback , positive / negative :)

I thought it was very good. One thing. And maybe it's just my ears. I thought it sounded just a touch behind the timing. Almost like playing catch up which kind of cut the last note of each line. I can't be sure though.
Overall a good job in my opinion.

I think that was a great attempt. Somewhat rushed in part, yes. Great tone, yes. Really nice timbre in your OB:s, imo. Sound becomes a lot better if you do like Christelle and keep the backing track in headphones and mix your playing and backing track later with audicity for example.

I have vowed to try this song in second position and I can't dream of competing with Christelle's playing. I can't compete with your playing either but that will at least be humanly possible so...

Great job!
