This song makes me wanna leave my hometown to travel solo cross country on a Greyhound bus, looking out the window while the opening credits roll.

Yeeeeees!!!!!!
it's amazing how many ways you can play a guitar
Flawless musicianship. That is what talent and hardwork look like when combined. BRAVO! Yasmin!

Talent is a result of hard work. The concept of people being inherently "gifted" is flawed and ultimately a good way to discourage people from feeling like they can achieve their goals.
Go head baby! THIS type of talent is what's birthed when you support your child's interest and passion! SPECTACULAR!

i know right? its so crazy how many people don't support their children's talents and interest, it's so stupid expecting everyone to just be the same and not give them the support they need to do what they want to shine.
You brought me tears of Joy, Happiness, Hope and Memories. Beautiful music, thank you!
My mind is blown. Every detail about her playing is amazing. That gorgeous hair. The stary night shirt. I love it all.
Damn, I ain't seen someone finger style on their lap like that in like 20 years. Pro skill.
What a beautiful sound to wake up to 😍😍😍 Magic ❤🌻⚘🌺🌼🌷❤.

@@TerenceTreeLowery808 right on Terence! That must've been more than special w/him (guessing circa Windham Hill days.) I did what turned out to be his last interview, oddly for Music & Computers mag; he was beyond stoked about taking the plunge into his first Mac's bag of tricks, how unique would that've sounded right? Invited me up to his Mendo house/studio but that sadly that terrible car crash just days before. But so cool that he lives on w/all these gifted fingertappers ever since, like Yasmin. cheers
your offering is so appreciated!!! Absolutely wonderful.
Breathtaking! I have goosebumps on my goosebumps! Exquisite job, Ms. Williams! For all those who wonder how it happens, this is what it looks like when the next world-renowned musician begins to stretch her wings and make herself known. Keep pushing, Ms. Williams.
This took my breath away, bless yr heart baby. Thank u for all the hard work it took to accomplish this wonderful composition. 🥰😍🤣
Definitely a keeper. Beautiful, love it. Thank you for sharing.
August rush, john butler trio, ben howard and many talented musicians did this and I always loved the unique sound. You are amazing !!!

Goosebumps & tears! Thank you, Yasmin!
Yasmin - this song came up for me on a random "Discover Weekly" Spotify playlist this week and I am now currently listening to it at maximum volume on repeat. I absolutely LOVE your sound and style. This song makes me want to cry and dance all at the same time. Thank you for sharing your musical gifts with the world!
Wonderful! Thank you.
Simply amazing! One of the best recommended videos KZread's ever given me 😄
Wow! Just flat-out stunning. I particularly enjoyed the little bit of flash at the end. Beautiful.

It's so refreshing to see someone at your age slappin and a tappin the fretboard at this technical level!... Post more please. Sharing is caring ☺️
I'm so glad this is a possibility of playing the guitar! Years ago I tried this on an acoustic guitar since I never really learned how to play it before and it didn't work... Now I see you just need a pickup to capture the sound and some more practice!
WOW! I Love this!
A totally amazing performance!
