Great Arrangement!

I'd call myself about an intermediate player. This piece is a lot of fun and it sounds INCREDIBLE. However, as is common with REM songs, there's many, many weird rhythms that requires a good bit of practice to master. This arrangement had me sold, however, on the first few measures. Candy for my ears.
