One more chorus

The theme is unchanged. At 0:43, the guitar starts an original solo over the same 32-bar form: a small opening idea, rising phrases, a higher passage, and a return to E♭.

The bass stays quieter beneath the runs and answers in the held notes and spaces. Both follow the same phrase timing. This is our solo, inspired by lyrical guitar phrasing—not a note-for-note reconstruction of Pat Metheny’s recording.

Same sample-free string-and-body models, including the existing touch texture. Guitar and bass can be heard separately with the buttons above. Variant preservation checks · Score · Renderer
