Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah': A Simple, Soulful Arrangement & Lesson

I'm getting into this thing lately of making my arrangements as simple as possible - leaving space, letting notes breathe, chords ring - it makes for a very relaxing way to practice techniques, and pay homage to such iconic masterpieces of songcraft.
Interestingly, when I leave the gaps where I would normally shoehorn in a fill, everything starts to sound like a Chris Isaak record - which is a most welcome accident!
I love that dreamy, sparkly, tremolo-heavy guitar work.
