Definitely - I was surprised at how well it works with no guitar! Was wondering if the chorus would be a bit sparse, but actually JF's vocals fill in a lot of the harmonic component that the guitar would normally cover. And it sounds awesome!
You can hear Johns vocals more clearly in this - I dont know if it is the omitted guitar or not, but Johns vocals are never as clear in the chorus in the normal song as they are here. You can quiete clearly hear his higher notes and how he emphasises "by the WAY I TRIED to say"
