I pretty much got the arrangement down for guitar and voice for this tune.
Practiced @ 75 bpm. Target speed is around 105 bpm.
Once I can play at target speed, I'll search for a singer to play this piece with.

Bart A measure 12-13 arpeggio - played @ 60. Still hard. Tried increasing to 60, but couldn't pay without mistakes.
Part B measures 14-15 - couldn't play clearly above 55 bpm.
