Very beautiful... What kind of strings do you have? Light ones?

[mskroos]

@Aivopiirakka I use Curt Mangan strings, they're a small company based in Colorado, they sound as good as elixirs and the G doesn't break after a week. I use 12-54, so pretty standard, but I have my action set nice and low :)

On "Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft", you played the top neck with your right hand and the bottom neck with your left; here it's vice versa. How do you determine which way to do it? Is one way more comfortable than the other? Does it depend on the song? Am I even asking the right questions?

[mskroos]

@DanThePropMan Hmmm....Well, lately I've been writing everything so that left plays the top and right plays the bottom neck b/c it's a better playing position for the left hand, but when I was writing speed limit enforced by aircraft, I figured it would be better to have the right hand play on the top neck b/c there's more space (since it use to be a 12 string neck), and I still play it that way, I guess b/c it's what I'm use to!

I'm going to try to make it out to the Toledo School for the Arts tomorrow night to watch you play. Good stuff, dude!

I only just watched this. Awesome as ever, you never cease to amaze me. You seriously need to come to Ireland, I'd love to see you play live.
