    I thought the exact same thing...

  • FERGUSON'S FRIDGE!

    Jay rules.

  • It's funny that he holds up Bookends by S&G at the end because the chords / capo he's playing a couple time throughout the video sounds just like the intro to "old friends"

  • Jay Ferguson's got to be one of the friendliest people I've ever met. Always goes out of his way to be nice to fans and have conversations with them. Go Sloan!

  • Jay you rock!!!

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that! :D

  • he says these chords are borrowed then he shows where he borrowed them from, if not the song directly at least the artist.

  • I'm not positive about the first chord, but the second chord, yes it's Fmaj7th

  • Nothing wrong with the song "I'm Down".

  • "talent borrows....genius steals"

    Amaj7th to Fmaj7th no?
