I was messing around with a couple of delay and reverb pedals
and I thought I'd try a simple arrangement of a Beatle's song.
(YESTERDAY by: Paul McCartney) It seemed to sound better to me
without fingerpicks...

(Check out the sus4 chord available on my 13string A6th tuning)

I play without picks often, but haven't when recording. Nice job.

Paul McCartney wrote YESTERDAY, by the way. Their publishing agreement listed all of their Beatles songs as Lennon/McCartney, but that song was all Paul.

Haha. I was trying to phrase my outrage at the idea of John writing Yesterday gently but Bob beat me to the punch.

Inspiring as always, Dom. Really lovely!

It boggles the mind when you consider that Yesterday and all the Beatle's catalog of songs were composed before they were 30 years old. Beautiful feel and vibrato, Dom. I play a lot sans picks. Bossa Nova music, in particular, seems wrong with picks on.

Very good performance. It must have taken some time to work that out. Impressive!
