Ani DiFranco - Paris Concert 10/12/2007 - Rain Check

[RobinZwama]

ANI! WH000T!

[misosaltee]

it sounds like she got 1 string thats not part of the tuning and improvised around it cuz it was fun or because she had already started.

[redletteryear]

why did she change the guitar part to this song?

[vnikey]

freedom of the artist *lol*

[redletteryear]

i know but i liked the original guitar part, perhaps, like she tends to, just forgot it!

[vnikey]

Haha, if she did, she still improvised perfectly ;)

[Fraserized]

@vnikey the problem is not Ani or a broken string. The song is originally done on baritone guitar and the guitar she has is not a baritone but an ordinary guitar that is tuned down a fourth to try and compensate. Because of the low tuning the guitar gets distorted really easily.

[jacobwolkenhauer]

@Fraserized That's actually a WY-1 with an extended scale, so it's a pseudo-baritone. She uses it in place of a baritone proper sometimes. It's the only WY-1 model she plays that doesn't have a pickguard.

[myporchlight]

maybe she had a broken string, shes known to do that

[utopia2009]

[donnerbrandpear]

Her voice sounds great! And so it's "pee-ta."
