• Probably the best guitar version of this.
• I love the richness that you add to the arrangement.
• One of my favorite sounds is the fingers sliding across the strings like that
• I'm not gay but I want to fall asleep to you playing guitar everyday. 
• Your arrangement is close to the harmonic complexity of the piano score.
