- 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.
