to be fair, this is by far one of the easier AAL songs, both on the drums and the guitar. Something like Microagressions or Ka$cade would have genuinely been impossible. Mad props though, one hour is still impressive, not like PE is an easy song compared to non-AAL tracks lmao

@@precioustimeglorydaystbf the impressive part is how tight he got it relative to the difficulty of the music in an hour for the entire song. It's not technically as bad, but his level of learning and then executing is different compared to most
