Also, last question, When I play it, it doesn't sound like it at all, I mean the tone and stuff. Does he tune it differently?

[krnballa23]

first of all.. my hands r reallllllly tiny

i have short, fat fingers... so i could play, nebody can play. 2nd question, u have to tune every string down a half step, so Eb, Ab, Db, etc

Hey, could you break down the very first part of the video for me, the very first riff. What's making that sound after the pluck right after the flick\pick?

[krnballa23]

I got the chords from John Mayer's VH1 video, and learned flick-picking from Noah Needleman's tutorial video. the chord is D-Bm-F#m-G-D/F#-A repeating and chorus is A-D-G x3 , D/F#-G-D/F#-A

grow your hand out some more.

practice practice practice. it'll hurt at first but your thumb will strengthen. you're not a guitarist till you've had blisters on ALL your fingers =P

[FoxBodyMan]

You nailed it man!! GREAT JOB! You should make a vid showing the chords and picking pattern.

How big is your geetar at the twelfth fret? Mine is 2 & 1\8th inches, I think I might need a new guitar to play over the neck songs.

How big are your hands? Doing that over the neck fretting is killing my thumb
