This is my full recreation / cover  of Ivory Tower by Giorgio Moroder & Klaus Doldinger from The Never Ending Story.
Everything here was worked out by ear, performed and produced by Julian Croot.

The arpeggio that runs throughout is actually 2 different arpeggios running together, so its suprisingly complex.
