@phython911 Tommy likes to improvise a lot, so every time he performs this song he adds different variations to it. His style of using the pick while plucking with his fingers is very hard to write into a tutorial or tablature.
Watch his left hand and you will realize how complex his style is, he's playing two different rhythms as if there are two guitars playing the same song.
Can any one tell what Model guitar it is.Haeronthegreat your tuning DGDGBE(see my clip around 1st week in july) is known as quassi (kw-oz-ie) tuning,cheers D
well hell man just depends on what you started with! it's fun when you start getting it down. i prefer my fingers with some medium not too flashy nails. makes my classical sound all crisp haha. guitarists unite!
Any one has an idea if those are metal strings or nylon strings?

pure brilliance. I learnt this, the only thing im having trouble with now is the harmonics
Shnobster 2 years ago
like tommy said when he explained it, focus on accuracy, getting the harmonic right on the fret, and play near the saddle

oh I guess it's drop D isn't it, well that's still a "standard" tuning to me though
jazzpsalti 4 years ago
Agreed! Tommy likes his Drop D. I think the most fringe tuning he's ever used is only like DGDGBE

I've been digging the hell out of AEDGBE lately, just invert the bottom strings
jazzpsalti 4 years ago
wow. AEDGBE ? o.O must be a pain to tune up to A haha I prefer DADGAD but I still have much to learn about it
seouljah4yu 3 years ago
HAHA, no you got the wrong idea, tune DOWN to A :)
jazzpsalti 3 years ago
OOOOO hahahahhaha thanks. i was planning on trying that out ahahaha i would've killed my string

SaltyStrings 3 years ago
oh really? To get to AEDGBE? I don't think so
(and if you even THINK about saying "stfu dude this song is drop d kthx" go ahead and don't, because you didn't read the conversation)

Low to high: DAGBE
Capo 2nd fret.
For sure.
