    When "going to a music store" becomes a thing again, you should totally go to a few and make a reaction video, although perhaps some of these versions will need a bit of a rework to find the sweet spot between "they know it's a forbidden song" and "but I kind of want to see how it goes"!

    I don't comment much on UA-cam about music. I really love jazz and you made it jazzful. I feel like you are top notch and better than most guitarist. You and Guthrie Govan

    I think you should try to play it in a guitar shop. It would be fun to see the quick changes of emotions on the sellers' faces)
    Beautiful arrangement, as always👏
