I learned how to play most of this song a year ago. I LOVE it. Compositions that aren't impossible to play that sounds this good and have the level that Preston Reed writes into his song feel great to play.
Not to mention everybody thinks you are a virtuoso/god of rock when you're playing it (learning this song isn't easy. you can go places if you tried, man.)
when I was your age I was playing blink 182....and I'm about to graduate from Berklee....you are WAY ahead of the curve, keep it up. you really should pursue music as a career, you'd go places....do you have any of your own stuff?
What tuning is this song in?
Im looking to learn it to start playing at my shows
Your comments are great! I am so happy - thank you. :-)
I haven't written any compositions on my own which may be the reason why I should not choose music as a career - ;-)
The tune is actually in:
C G D G G D
Preston has got a long neck guitar that enables him to play the song a whole step down in Bb F C F F C. But if you decide to use .013-.056 strings it works quite well, too.
If there are any further questions feel free to contact me.
Excellent performance my friend. I think I am going to try and get to Preston's workshop next year, thankfully I live only about an hour away from him. :)
Just caught him live in Glasgow on Friday, amazing gig and a great guy.

This is THE BEST guitar video on YouTube. You may not have written it, but you play it perfectly. You are just amazing... even at 16!
This video should have 8 million views not 8 thousand haha.
Keep up the AMAZING work!
P.S. I bet your left hand hurt after this with all that smacking and tapping haha.
