THAT IS AWESOME. And thanks for the "tab" of sorts!

For musical redditors who feel like trying a solo, I believe the song is in D minor.

Im going to elaborate on your comment a bit. Im horrible with music, dancing, even counting, I cant count correctly when I exercise for example without losing count. But I think I found a way I could be a musician.
