Nice work, man. You played all the right notes, but now, try to actually “sing” the song. The lyrics shape the phrases. You can play many of the same lines a good deal more smoothly if you thoughtfully use alternate positions and find ways to move shorter paths between notes. Bb in 5th, D in 4th, F in #4th, and so on. Explore your 5th, 6th, and higher partials to see how many positions can be used for every note... it’s mind blowing how much can be played between 3rd and 4th positions when you’re above an F! Above a tuning Bb, you can play literally everything between 2nd and 5th. Try learning runs with the E in #5th, F in #4th, G in 4th, etc. you can play virtually everything near the bell. You’ll find that F in #4th has much more utility (and can usually be much better in tune!) than always playing it in 1st. Same for high Bb in 3rd and C in 3rd. The fewer changes of direction and the less slide distance between notes, the smoother the line. You’re waiting more properly than before through a held note before starting your vibrato, well done. Now, try using a more flexible wrist & incorporating the flexibility of your fingers for a smoother and more natural-sounding vibrato, instead of moving your entire forearm so much. Also, not every held note needs a vibrato. Listen to where you are in the lyrical phrase... it comes back to hearing the lyrics in your head. Keep it up, man. You’re putting in excellent work!
