      Im trying to learn this and i did but not up to speed, the fretting hand work is easy but the fingerstyle picking is so hard to do cleanly at that speed, maybe it would be a bit easier with the string width of a nylon but geez this is going to take so much practice, love this song though, much respect to this guy for this cover ❤

    Part 2 - 0:28
    Part 1 - 0:55
    Part 3 - 1:26

    Great cover, I’ve noticed you even added a few extra notes here and there to add extra depth in the harmonies. Good call on your part, since the original is two guitars. Really adds the flavor. I’ll have my cover up soon enough, it’ll be my first video on my channel.
