In my next life I hope I come back as one of his instruments.

It is tremendously unfair that this is not part of a longer song.

[KeithUnderneath]

@Witangemot That would be the most heroic thing in the world!!

1. Sorrow that sentence doesn't make any sense "keeps playing at the same tempo" don't use words you don't understand and 2 the instrument he's using is acoustic but has been fitted with a pick up the vibrations, when he put his hand out the wood would have continued the vibrate causing it t ring.

@TheSorrow1O1 no, there is a pause, it just rings on cuz he's strumming

[TheSorrow1O1]

@Choo69

Are you sure your watching the same part as me ? I'm talking about the bit where he says "There was an old women she said...". When he says "enter through" he points out his hand for about a second and the guitar keeps playing at the exact same tempo.

@TheSorrow1O1 it does stop, there is a slight pause when he does it.

[TheSorrow1O1]

Did anyone else noticed that at 0:40 he points his hand out but the guitar continues to play without him strumming ?

[BggProductions]

@ItHadToBeKaya Hopefully you'll be an oud so you get worshipped.

OOOOooooouuuuud!!!!!!

[chocsandjellies]

@ItHadToBeKaya So you get strummed alot?

For those arguing about the instrument, it is a bit confusing. According to Bill, this is a Turkish Saz strung like a modern 3 course Greek bouzouki (likely tuned DAD). The Saz is part of the evolutionary line of the bouzouki, so it ends up looking much like an Irish style bouzouki in terms of the body.
