@TheMG1MG2 Artificial Harmonics on the 12th. You basicly just touch the fret and no more, They work really well in acoustic or light songs like this =)
@TheMG1MG2 it;s a capo. they allow you to put your guitar in different open tunings. so like if you have standard tuning. and put it on the 2nd fret. your strings top to bottom is F# B E A C# f#
He is what I like to call a true Musician. Someone who writes their own music, and can perform without any synthesized sound effects. He doesnt need any background vocals because his voice is so stunning, and he just played his guitar clean instead of distorted to hide his mistakes. He can do all this because he is good enough not to need anything else. You could hear him screw up, if he wasnt good enough to play it flawlessly
@2pacShakur96, ya i know the song is made up of those 3 chords, but in this version at 2:14 if you watch he tosses a sick little chord in, can't figure it out...lookin for someone to help me out here
@ujustwanna Man, cool out you trendy, pop-culture owned little clown. A person can have, and state, opinions. Why are attacking me with such angry talk? Shouldn't you be texting and staring at as many screens as possible all day long? Where do you find the time to spill all that mouth-diarrhea with such a busy schedule of video games and absorbing mainstream media values? Your parents have allowed you to be so poor spirited and shallow. Shame on them.
I heard that he sleeps with fangirls when he's on tour. The kinky stuff i would do to get private renditions of his songs...good god! I hope he comes to montreal soon ;)
Ok, I know this comment will probably get booed and smashed to bits, but it's not meant to be negative. Actually, Dallas is one of my favorite up and coming musicians.
I've seen his Myspace Transmissions (probably my favorite set of live performances ever!) and he was great.
The problem is that the guitar line to this song seems as if it's prerecorded! I know he's a capable guitarist, but I think the guitar line in this one may have been recorded since it's a tad complicated. Maybe I'm wrong.
And if it makes this any more believable, I play guitar as well and I'm familiar with strumming patterns, chords etc. I was just wondering if anyone else thought it seemed a bit out of sync? I'd be really disappointed if he didn't play it live! I know he can, I just wonder if a producer or someone told him to record and sync it.
Either way, great voice live - hard to find better vocals than these.
I learned this song for open mic tonight...he is phenomenal! Pure, raw talent. I get goose bumps every time i listen to this song....and playing makes me feel the same. Wow.
"this dude is the definition of the word musician" thats exactly what i was thinking, but that doesnt even do it justice and thats the closest i can get to explaining his talent
You know i showed my friend this (all he listens to is mainstream CRAP) he told me "oh it sounds alright" next thing i know he is obsesed and can't stop listening to him he later told me "yeah dude he is amazing i can't beleive i said that".
It's not a pulloff.. its harmonics... you put your fingers lightly on the 12th frets on the a string or multiples.. and pluck them and take your finger off gently but quickly and it makes that sound.. its hard to explain.. but it takes practice.. you'll figure it out, if you are trying to figure it out on guitar or something.
well since it's capo 2 it's the 14th fret. and the way to do it is pick your finger up as quickly as you strum each string. it's actually really easy to do.
Thats the beauty of being the song writer and the one who performs it. You can change it however you please whenever you please. If he wanted, he could drop his tuning to F minus (yes I know that isnt a note [but hes Dallas Green so he can make it work]) and have chugs in the chorus if he were feelin frisky.
As much as I enjoy the newer full band ensemble and some of the "fuller" tracks (on the new album), this song's greatest moment is when Dallas sings a cappella.
