Hey Julian, Thanks for the post and review. I had a great time working with you as well, and I felt like we got a lot accomplished in a short time.

Due to a recent lesson I have had Can't Help Falling In Love running through my head for a few days. I started with a short instrumental version that I hope purges it from my running...

Really interesting song, a couple power chords based on E and B, then C major mostly. A bit of a tricky rhythm pattern. What does anybody else hear?

https://youtu.be/ufNBaYqRmOs January 26, 2024 Our 3-Minute Challenge inspired me to take a look at many of the pieces I have played over the years and see what kind of shape they were in.
