    Video plays the first half of bars one and three as simplified versions of the chart. But I get the gist, a very nice line!

    Thats because I’ve posted the notation and tab for one of the variations I created and not the tab for the original! I’ll correct that!

    Really like the harmonic metronome, tempo increase, followed by drums and guitar. Sixteenth notes similar to “Something.”
    Chord progression sounds a bit like Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House.
