    Really enjoyed this song and you did a great job breaking down the theory. This is the way to learn guitar. Thanks.

    This is going to be one of those “who’s going to tackle this one” sort of lessons. It’s doable at a bit slower speed, but that up tempo beat is going to require some really good picking skills. This of course does not have to be done at the lightening speed to get it to sound really good, so take your time with this one folks.
