Good job. Sound wise I would back off the effects (reverb?) somewhat - a little piezo sounding.

That is some fine playing, Mark. That may be one of the best arrangements I've heard. And you played it very musically. I couldn't imagine a more wonderful rendition. I think you gave this piece EXACTLY what was needed for an effective solo performance.

I'm curious about a couple of passages. Around marker 0:39 and also 1:58. Probably beat two. "All the lonely people." Right on the word "The." There is some little something there I'm not figuring out as a listener. I'm not sure if a note is there, or if it is, if it should be emphasized. My ears were expecting something that didn't exactly happen there. If that is melody, it isn't coming out like melody.

Now, probably much like yourself, this is what I've done for years. I try to find some little something that could make a piece better. I stress again, I am really stoked about this performance and arrangement. That was a fine performance anyone would be proud of. I'm looking forward to hearing more! Outstanding!

Hi Mark,
just found your youtube of Eleanor rigby, that you did in 2015, if I see it right...
It´s a great version, properly played with a great sounding guitar...

Maybe you have seen my version, that I made about 3 weeks ago... ??

greetings from Germany
Gerhard
