@@TheCaskOf43 are you an actual musician or just a music enthusiast? Dude wanted to do his own style of solo on the song so... he just did it. I think you might be in your own head saying that he's "walking all over" the original. He's a musician so he's just having fun with that chord progression. He wasn't thinking "yeah this solo is going to be way better than the original!" If he has his own style, just let it be and let him enjoy performing music... don't make him conform to the original writers. If we wanted to hear the original, just listen to the original?

Nico had the job we all wish we could have had that day!! Can you imagine how cool it would be to see Paul shred up close like that? Awesome interpretation of this song. I’m going to raise my patreon pledge amount :-)

paul is so godly that he has a human to act as his capo. 2:42

This'll be my new YYZed to play.Seeing as I've only listened to the song about a trillion times now.This one is different and rather interesting.A nice change up.And it only took 5 guys and a human capo to play it! (; Thanks for the refreshment! Regards from a Canucklehead from Kanata!
