    I just can't believe Mike wrote this riff, I grew up listening to Incubus and it's weird seeing him doing collabs for this kind of music. Many tutorials (if not all) miss that closing #F major in the chord progression; nothing better than watching it from the master himself!

      The singer for Incubus doesn't sound anything like Aloe Blacc, who sings on the Avicii track. I'll admit it'd be interesting to hear his take on it though

It was great to see you slip up a few times, makes me learning the guitar feel less intimidating when someone as good as you can still make mistakes and not be bothered too much by it. Thanks again!
