Second-ever cover (first Beatles) - Nowhere Man

Thanks everyone for your kind words - realized I should group all of my responses in a single comment so here are the rest of my responses:

@sairfingers Yes, I do feel the need after landing this to go back the basics a bit and really nail the chord changes cleanly and clearly, going back to finger placement and minimum movement and all of the great techniques Justin has taught.

@jkahn Yes I definitely think there’s room for pulling out more nuance and polish. Thanks for the tip about playing along to the record. I think for me it’s been helpful to play along to the record a number of times then play along without it and record to see how much sound I’m actually producing vs what I’m playing along to in my head. When I playback this video I realize I have the full Beatles wall of sound in my head which is filling in all the gaps, but the microphone tells a different story :slight_smile: so super helpful for me to go back and listen and realize where I need to fill in or tighen up and pull out those nuances as you say.

@DavidP Thanks for the comment and suggestions. I made a note of going back to work in some of the instrumental fills (I skipped most of the fills between the verses) and to really nail down the solo. Will definitely be internalizing is the “practice perfectly” mantra.
