      Im trying to learn this and i did but not up to speed, the fretting hand work is easy but the fingerstyle picking is so hard to do cleanly at that speed, maybe it would be a bit easier with the string width of a nylon but geez this is going to take so much practice, love this song though, much respect to this guy for this cover ❤

    Part 1 - 0:00
    Part 2 - 0:28
    Part 1 - 0:55
    Part 3 - 1:26
