Lovely playing and what a voice of an angel. Loving the improv in the middle. Top class.

Thank you!
Agreed! As I try to play that one too so I think I know where your coming from. Difference being, you can sing, and I canāt.
You covered that great Sonyal.
Perhaps there were a mistake here or there, but you just kept it going. Very good.
I also liked that itās just you doing that. You didnāt rely on anything other than you. Thatās really hard to do, I think. And you did very good at it. āYouā made music!
I also liked the way you added your own flavor to the song. Via singing, and via guitar. Nice touch. It was only a little of your touch though, you left the song intact. imho, your heading the same direction as I do with covers that I do. While the cover aināt perfect, it represents the song very well.
I liked the tones you had for your guitar too. Donāt know if you were playing through a amp, but it came out very good. It seemed you didnāt use guitar effects and I like that. You didnāt cover yourself up with fancy wizardry of high tech. Love it!
If I have any comment on your playing of this song itād be. Go after that open G string that sounds near every beat throughout the song. I think I learned that from Justinās lesson on this song.
As you know, there is that beat sounded throughout. I always thought it was foot tapping. But lately Iām wondering if itās not that open G string that is setting tempo. fwiw, sounding that G string throughout is hard to do, I think.
Also, the balance between your vocal and the guitar was right on too.
Lastly, you sing good! Iām envious.
You did Good.
I enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing with us.
edit, one last comment. Nice touch doing that electric too. Proof, just because it was done acoustic originally, donāt mean you (or me) have to do it that way. Just more of āyourā touch. Nice.

I really enjoyed this, Sonyal, and I am not a Beatles fan. I especially liked the middle part which sounded more Sonyal and less Beatles 
Will you keep working on the song?

Really nicely played Sonyal! You started out a bit hesitant, but grew into the song all the way through. I love your voice.

I donāt think Iāve heard a better vocal of this song. Wonderful. Your guitar part is different on the electric then the more typical acoustic accompaniment would have been, but certainly good enough to make an interesting difference. That voiceā¦do you take requests!

This is great feedback, thanks. I recently got an Ibanez acoustic but I donāt yet have the chops for it. I started out practicing this song on it but all the calluses that had gone away from when I first started playing electric guitar came back along with new ones on my pinky finger especially with this song. Also my wrist hurt quite a bit playing this song even with getting the action lowered (it wasnāt far off from whats typical). My amp has a āslim acousticā preset that I used for this song in an attempt to have it sound a little more like the original sound.
Thank you. Yes, I plan to incorporate it in my daily practice so I can get more precise and keep the finger strength and dexterity that it provided me with.

Thank you for listening!
What a nice compliment, thank you! Iām always looking for new songs to learn. Its what keeps me going. I have a list that I keep adding to. Some are songs that I already know and love to sing and some Iām not familiar with at all but sound like they would be interesting to play:)

wellā¦Iām listening to a lot of Ella singing Cole Porter: Iām particularly taken by All Through The Night, maybe not the usual suspect. Been thinking how on earth could it be tackled.
