This song is one of the first ones I ever created an arrangement for. The piano intro is iconic, and putting it together in a way that I could actually reach (mostly) on the fretboard was a cool taste of how much fun arranging guitar songs actually is.

It’s fun to play, which is my main goal, but I think this one also sounds great. You can see my rendition of the song on my Youtube channel HERE for some inspiration!

Hope you enjoy!

Cheers, David
