Ben never uses a pick when he plays an acoustic guitar. Looks like he's using his thumb and forefinger to strum and fingerpicking the individual higher notes.
i dont know but that really looks like hes using a pick to me. especially when he pulls his hand away and his thumb and firstfinger are still together like hes holding a pick.
the 405 is a freeway on the west coast. He's talkin about the 405 in the Seattle area. I took the 405 to see death cab earlier this week in Irvine. Then they opened with this song. Pretty sweeT
his beard puts chuck norris to shame

I actually kinda dig his new whiskers. But I think they should be temporary. Like a neat little phase
