Hi Catherine, smooth and melodic. Loved the middle section where you varied the theme. Really enjoyed it!

That looks like a Martin OM-28 — a guitar that’s perfect for the kind of understated but sophisticated fingerpicking you are capable of.
Every note, every movement is deliberate and the overall effect is nuanced and beautiful. I wish I had that kind of control. -

A nice melodic fingerstyle piece Catherine, you captured the essence of this iconic song with those fluent runs throughout.

Another accomplished rendition from you Catherine. The rock-steady bass under-pinned the melody and harmony perfectly. The arrangement was elegant with the interesting variation in keeping with the original song.

You totally nailed it, Catherine! I wish you lived next door to me so we could hang out and jam sometimes. Although clearly you are a more advanced player than I am. But I’m getting there.

Wow, I love this fingerstyle arrangement, Catherine, especially that you played in the same key of G like I did! That gives me a good reference point to what I could have done if I had your brain and skills, haha! 😉 Love your playing and feel, always inspiring!

Nice finger style arrangement, the middle section added some variation to the theme , you got that bass working overtime keeping things in check .
Skilfully played and at a fine tempo.Martin
