Really not bad, I quite liked parts of it, might well like it better on a second hearing, and I will accept a connection to Zappa, but what the connection to Abba is I have no idea. If I should suggest some music on the base of that, it would have to be Birelli Lagrene. It is to late to search for something on the internet with his guitar play, but he is available there for sure.

On second thought, I think I will forego the Gipsy Jazz Guitar of Birelli Lagrene, for something you are unlikely to have heard. Finnish Jukka Tolonen is never mentioned among the rock guitar virtuoses in English listings of such, but he was good. That is until he shot his wife and found Jesus thereby. Maybe the language is insurmountable - the name of his first band, Tasavallan Presidentti, is not what an ad-man would call saleable. I do not know what I have found here, but it might be worth listening to anyway, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqhoEzyIv_0

Here is Lagrene anyway, sounding very much like Django at times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUTzpm0feC0

Going far away from the theme of expensive Stones tickets, this is what I have been playing when driving lately - Boogaloo Joe Jones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3z_e02ggk0 I was sitting in my parked car with outside the local dentists office, with the side windows down and Boogaloo going at full blast. Waiting for a lull before turning him off. A lady stepped out of her car beside me, and walking up the stairs outside the building showed some uncontrollable gyrations as directed by this guitarist. Somethings gotta move when he gets into it. Here with an organist not far behind Jimmy Smith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VujyqfIx6jI
