Guitarist Chris Mike—who wrote and recorded "For Jason," a tribute to Jason Becker, last spring—is back.

This time, the Candyrat Records artist has recorded—and created a music video for—his instrumental, shred-tastic cover of Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven."

The song is available now on iTunes and Amazon. For more about Mike, visit candyrat.com and follow him on Facebook.
