In this video, I'm practicing The Upside by Lindsey Stirling for the duet challenge that she is hosting on social media.
I challenged myself even more by learning the song by ear, and adding in some harmony.This duet challenge is officially meant as some sort of competition. Lindsey will choose some people to play this song with her on stage during her Summer tour in the US and Europe. I'm going to her show in Cologne, Germany, on the 28th of July. I don't expect to get chosen at all (she probably already has picked someone), but this challenge got me so excited that I wanted to have a go at it and make this video about it.
