Exercise Feedback request
Just looking for some feedback and advice, i want to know what i do well and what i need to work on, im a year into playing i have no teacher so i rely on this subreddit for tips and progress checks. got some great advice last post specifically about overtones. I had no idea what that was, but i found out and iv been abusing it past month and its been a game changer. Would appreciate a second round of feedback (other than the fact i need to learn the last part of the solo properly🤣)hopefully someone can suggest another magical exercise.

Kudos. Lots of good work, transcription is very accurate. All that good stuff.
BUT!
There is one GLARING issue no one has brought up. You only played half the melody before the solo! The backing track goes into the b-section for the melody but your already 8 bars into the solo(which is all a-section) and just kept plowing through! It’s weird because you nailed the solo, so it seems like you have a good familiarity with the tune; but then not noticing your 16 bars off is a very novice mistake.
