The guitar arpeggio that comes in after the chorus might seem difficult at first, but when you actually play it, only the root note moves and the other notes stay fixed, so there’s no need to overthink it! The final guitar solo is easy too—you’re just playing the same spots on the 2nd and 3rd strings.

It’s simple, but play it with style! The drums also don’t do anything tricky and just keep a straight four-on-the-floor, so as long as you make sure the tempo doesn’t fluctuate wildly, you’ll be fine!
