I meant to submit this a while back and it fell down my priority list. But it's time now, and I made some improvements to the sheet today!

One quick thing I noticed, m10 is dotted, dotted, quaver and not a triplet

[Latios212]

Ah yes thanks! Updated that~

Sorry it's taken me a bit to get around to this but I don't have much to say. Approved.

• Can update tempo marking font to current NSM template

Definitely looking good! Just a few arrangement related things I noticed:
-Since there's not a snare hit on beat 2 (just the hi-hat), maybe you could leave out the bottom note in the L.H. in that beat from m5 on?
-There are a few places where it'd be hard for the player to hold the R.H. bottom notes (m6, m9 and m18). Maybe you could use another voicing there, or do you want the player to use the pedal for those?
-m31: Just as an alternate suggestion, you could write the guitar part as F-C, A, F-C, instead of full chords, so it's a bit easier to play.

Thanks for checking!

I think I wanted to leave that in so it sounds less empty... it gives the accompaniment a bit more of a driving rhythm.

Oh yeah, pedal for sure since jumping to hit the notes is easy. I've added a pedal direction after the intro

Yes, good idea! Updated~

Ahh I see, that works yeah!

Is there a specific reason you switched the F-A and C around in beat 4.5? It makes it harder to play than the other way around.

Not much to say here, really nice work! My only suggestion is to tie beat 2.5 to beat 3 in the LH in m7/8/11/12/16, since the kick doesn't hit on beat 3 there.

Thanks! Ah yeah you're right, listening to the bass as well. I assume you meant to include m. 15 as well.

Files updated!
