The Beatles Michelle by webostick
Thanks Willem.
What looks like a simple song turns out to be more complicated to make it sound right. I wish I could record the performance before I turn on the record button. I tried using a thin pick for a change, I usually use a medium Fender. My Guild D35 came back from the luthier for a set up and repaired a string buzz. Never sounded better in tone (the guy who did the work said it was the best sounding Guild he has heard. Made me proud to hang on to it since 1978. The wood is now seasoned, and the sound has opened up).
I tried to use a more heavy sweeping 'comp'ing style rhythm guitar, throwing in some palm muting and hybrid picking. Still not smooth as I wish for, and the solo still has some hiccups but I am trying to make it work.
Thanks for giving it a listen.

Hi Wally, I haven't gotten into this lesson yet, but I hope to someday.
So I'm sorry that I can't give you many very great insights that will change your life, as I always strive to :side:
Just to say that if I played this as well as you do, I could do it in my yard on a sunny day knowing that the neighbors would be happy.

Hey Wally,
looks deceptively difficult to me, but you look like you are heading in the right direction with it.
A full workout up and down the neck. Just keep playing and practicing it and the bits which you are finding more difficult just play slowly 'till you have them down and joined up to the rest. Great job, keep going!
