This is a fantastic piece for beginners looking to practice their skills! I love how the intro captures a lot of emotion, and even though I'm still learning, I can see how this encourages creativity. The tablature is super clear too, which makes it easier to follow along. Can't wait to give this a shot on my guitar! Thanks for sharing such awesome transcriptions for those of us just starting out!
