Billy Joel’s Don’t Ask Me Why piano break

Don’t Ask Me Why is a tune I never paid that much attention to. A student requested this a while back just for the basic chords and the chordy intro. So while listening I could not help thinking how well the piano solo would work on the guitar. It uses a lot of double stops that are thirds. It also uses arpeggios and a chromatic run. So double stops, arpeggios and chromatics- all great learning takeaways.
