I wish I had time to take a song apart and learn it like that

It's easy for me, so I do just that. I wish I could compose and arrange music, but it turns out I'm much better at transcribing it.
This song is pretty tough, it's quite easy to play it slow, but in 132-133 tempo it gets complicated to keep up with it. Thanks!

And very good at bass too!

Can I suggest you to cover "badges, posters stickers and t-shirts" in your channel?

I'd love to hear you playing the jazzy solo!

Thanks! Unfortunately I'm very bad at multi tracking and the guitar part seems to slip a lot out of tempo, but I though it wouldn't worth reshooting everything, so it's what it is, raw takes. I hate multi tracking. But I love «Badges, Posters, Stickers and T-shirts»! I'll do it of course, because generally I'm a huge jazz fan and anything jazzy immediately gets my attention.

I acknowledge that this format is unbelievable unpopular on my channel and it's a jazz tune, which means nobody is interested in this either, but I am interested and that's all that matters. I think Penthouse Prelude is a great etude on jazz soloing mechanics, it can teach you a lot about jazz harmony, connecting chords, use of chromatics. All in one minute! Try to play it in the original tempo and you'll come to find it's not as easy as it may seem. In fact, it's very difficult! Pavel.

I am catching up on guitar-playing at the moment and I think I'll make this piece my next move.

And I have you to thank also for Je suis désolé which I finally learnt last summer with your video.
