Guitar Lessons - Part 2 — Description

Cliff Burton, the legendary bassist for Metallica, tragically died in a tour bus crash on September 27, 1986, near Dörarp, Sweden. He was only 24 years old.
Metallica was in Europe on their Damage, Inc. Tour supporting their breakthrough album, Master of Puppets. The band members found the sleeping bunks on their tour bus to be uncomfortable and cramped. On the evening of September 26, after performing a show at the Solnahallen in Stockholm, Cliff Burton and guitarist Kirk Hammett drew cards to decide who would get the most comfortable bunk (the top one previously occupied by Hammett).
Cliff drew the Ace of Spades. He looked at Kirk and said, "I want your bunk." Kirk complied, saying he would sleep in the front of the bus instead.
Just before 7:00 a.m. the next morning, as the bus was traveling toward Copenhagen, Denmark, it abruptly left the road and skidded violently out of control before flipping onto its side.
Cliff was thrown out of the large window next to his top bunk. As the bus completely rolled over, it landed directly on top of him, trapping him underneath. In a desperate rescue attempt, emergency crews tried to lift the coach off him using a crane. Tragically, the crane slipped, and the massive weight of the vehicle crashed down onto Cliff a second time, killing him on the spot.
I know I'm a little late, but I started drawing this piece on the 27th and only finished it today
And yes, this work is a continuation of one of my previous ones, this one — >here<
Also, I couldn't find the right references for this particular pose, so I was the reference myself
