Default Short version of "Forever Young" on a Taran guitar

Hey AGF,

Haven't posted in awhile, hope everyone's well. I came up with this arrangement of the 80's anthem "Forever Young" by Alphaville in standard tuning recently and thought I'd share. To be honest, it's a fairly repetitive song structurally and since the solo was a bit out of my reach for solo guitar I decided I'd just do a little 60 second fingerstyle version!

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Off topic, and apologies in advance, but the title of this thread made me laugh out loud. I was figuring that the short version of "Forever Young" might be something like "Young For a Month." Wonderful playing, btw.

Very nice recording place.
You can really play your acoustic guitar, and your arrangement is so beautiful!
I love it!

Dustin, I'll post a "bravo" every once in a while in response to what you share here, but I enjoy each and every example of your playing I've heard. So musical.

Short, maybe, but sweet. I came expecting the Dylan song; I don't know this one, but I really enjoyed it.

Its an old 80s pop classic, translated well to the guitar. Glad you enjoyed it bud
