[DuskY1991]

@mutley2209 Some of the progressions indeed sound a bit like it indeed! =D

[greenpointyeraser]

dude, thats a nice guitar. . .

[rockindavid310]

dude, the frets on it are wierd though!

there slanted lol

[GrottoFace]

It's called fanned frets, just in case you'd like to know.

[blubberlips]

@GrottoFace Thanks.  Maybe I'm the only person that cared to know more than "there slanted lol".

Appreciate the comment.

[julioribas]

Se le doblaron los trastes y el puente de tanto joder con la viola jaja

[esl63]

he's really good, but I cannot hear playing like this without thinking PRESTON REED. But then, Mozart and Haydn also composed in a similar style..

Awesome sound, though (better than Preston?), I'm sure the fanfretting contributes to this.

[freeman4arab]

bettere ? could be

every new generation takes from the older generations , and builds on it

thats why its better

he didnt wake-up from his bed and said :

i will play both of my hands in the fret-board

he saw , he learned , he produced

If someone wants to loan me 13 grand for one of those I promise to put up a video of myself playing that song. Any takers?

[FlareDragon2004]

Interesting flat-top you got there, man. Never seen one quite like it. Impressive skills, too. Good job.

[1900canoe]

It's a fanned fret guitar. You tune it the same as any other guitar. The longer scale on the bass side allows for beautiful piano-like bass and the adjusted scale for each string allows for better intonation throughout. Mike Greenfield makes the best guitars and Don Alder is freakin amazing indeed. Lovely to hear/see this song.

[Dragonought]

It looks like the frets are at diffrent angles, how the heck do you tune that guitar?

[Tman4000]

It's a fanned-fret guitar.
