I remember sitting in bed listening to this aged 15, still in school, and being absolutely blown away by the talent and beauty of the way this was played. I’m now 28, listening in bed, been through hell and back and the nostalgia is so uplifting. So happy to listen to this again

@steveycommentman There are several ways to arrange a song on solo guitar. For example, regarding this song, i read a piano collection sheet music and listened to the original song track again and again, then i wrote a guitar tabs by myself while adding some measures such as the bass part, which were my invention and inspiration in order to give the arrangement a lively movement, light and shadow etc.^^

Thank you for your support^^ Here is my tip for you; Please do not strum unnecessary strings by your right hand, while making it double sure that you mute the unnecessary strings by your left hand. Easier said than done, but you can do it if you wish strongly. And another tip for you is "Please enjoy the music and do not mind the small details" =D

You know what? i have said it a few times, i pay such close attention to the small things, that i hate to comment on other peoples videos of their guitar playing, but this one deserves it that is BEAUTIFUL if i had anything to say at all, it would be that the strings where hit a little too hard, its such a soft beautiful song and it was a bit harsh and hard sounding, but dont take that as a negative thing, this is the best cover of this song i have heard yet!! amazing!!
