Hi there, this is my attempt for Let It Be solo, there are areas for improvement though. Feel free to comment and advise. Thanks!

Apologies for my serious look, I am still working on it. LOL

Good effort Benjamin.

This is a deceptively trickier solo than it first appears.
Its the nuanced bends and vibratos etc that really give it its sound.
Keep practicing those bends man, remembering to rotate the wrist, and bend to the target pitch, rather than pushing up with your fingers.
Justins lessons on bending are superb.Maybe revisit.

I also find that when learning new stuff, playing with a pretty clean sound initially can help both lock in the groove better, and clearly expose issues. As is playing over the backing track.
Keep going man.
All the best.

Cheers, Shane

Good to see you back again, Benjamin.

I canā€™t say more in comment than ā€œThanks for sharingā€ and that @sclay said more eloquently than one or two of the thoughts Iā€™d almost had when listening.

As for facial expression, Iā€™d suggest say nothing and think even less about it.

Hi Dave. For the expression, I just joked about it. No worries

Hi there, this is my attempt for Let It Be. I was a but tense and made some errors as I was being filmed.

That sounded petty good overall, Benjamin. Yes, a few errors along the way, but kept the rhythm going. Enjoyed the solo inset.

I moved this to AVOYP which it where it belongs and appended to your solo post since we have only one topic per month in AVOYP.

Nice one Benjamin ( and accompanying vocalist) :+1:.
All flowed pretty well mate, pretty clean, and pleasant vicaks. Those little errors will get less and less as you loosen up a bit.
Just one thing. I havent seen you play the acoustic before, but your ā€˜defaultā€™ strumming position seems to be towards the bridge in this song; and it doesnā€™t really go further than the edge of the soundhole.
If this is your default, or you have not really noticed, try strumming more over the sound hole to produce a warmer, more resonant tone. Just a thought.
Keep em cominā€™ mate :+1:

Cheers, Shane

Thanks Shane! I do notice I sometimes unintentionally strum close to the bridge. Sometimes I do correct myself if I am aware. Will pay more attention to it. Thanks for the advise.

Nicely done getting the family involved! Looks like you have a budding drummer there as well :rofl:

Hope so. But I have to admit he did the outro very accurately in terms of timing and rhythm.:joy:

what a nice family performance, Benjamin. Only missing the credits for the two youngest members of the band!
