I love Superfast Jellyfish. Such a random & goofy-sounding song, very catchy.
I’d recommend looking up an instrumental if you’re struggling to figure out timing,
that’s how I figured it out.
This is my first tab on here, feel free to give me feedback, possible corrections, etc.
Thanks, keep rockin’
