[dibarao]

What he uses to tighten the strings so fast?

[2itubetoo2]

@dibarao

That's a string winder.

[dibarao]

@2itubetoo2 Thank you from Brazil!

[2itubetoo2]

@dibarao Brazil...  :-) They had such a great time visiting Brazil!!

[seekah1]

@2itubetoo2 lol

[guitarslim56]

@dibarao, He uses his hands I think.

[AnTreasach]

What does he say at 0.59? "They sound good, they sound as good as ...?"

[2itubetoo2]

@AnTreasach I don't know... But the point he was making was that all strings are good and he takes whatever is cheap. I am sure you can find more about his strings on the forums of his website.

[guitarslim56]

@AnTreasach, Vegemite.

[AgentZeroForTheWin]

[wainerkorven]

At 1.39 he's playing those who wait for 2 sec max :) I wish i could tune as fast as he does.

[dougieboy88]

I think it was Questions :)

[jonnithundahhhh]

whys his guitar like that

[buckethead51993]

its from his playing, he scrapes it to get wierd sound effects. its just wear.

[shanehennessyguitar]

I was with him when he was changing strings in Dublin backstage

We were just chatting and while he was putting on his 5th string it snapped!

Exact words:

"*snap* oh shit! i dont have any more strings, i gotta run back to the hotel!"

[taotime]

Unfortunately the camera did not get the initial stringing sharp, which was what we tried to do

[taotime]

a sound hole cover

[yankeeG]

What is that he pulled from the soundhole at the end???

[forbebe]

How wonderful! Nice to see him behind the scene. Love the giggle! Thanks for posting!

[noelmeehan]

What I would pay for "a day in life with Tommy" dvd. I've been always waiting for something like that, which could include a pre-concert preparation from the morning, stage warm up, string change like that and much more :D

Hopefully will be created something like that in the future!

[taotime]

I would make that dvd!

[MonsieurB1000]

I'm waiting for that DVD, too! :-) I could watch those things the whole day
