Nope! First time for that to happen with me Tanya! Thanx!!!

[razla999]

What is that thing Michael holds in his right hand over the strings?

[dakotarose06]

That is called an "eBow". It's an electromagnetic device that, when turned on, vibrates the string until taken away.

[frankinbolton]

Anyone know what the base chord is the guitar's tuned to?

[dakotarose06]

The guitar tuning for this tune is: low-to-hi

C# A C# G# A E (capo 2nd)

This is one of my favorite pieces by Will. Very beautiful and makes everything seem better.

Other than the original, this has to be one the best renditions ever. Hats off to you guys. Exemplary guitar playing. As always, Michael's bass lines makes you soar away. Pure poetic poignance.

@GMoneyBassist145 Thanks for clearing that up. I got confused. I thought the red one was a Hyperbass too.

Have a great day.

[GMoneyBassist145]

@LiehTzu Actually that is a Sonus model bass with an extended cut away, and d-tuners. The Hyper Bass has a completely different body style and Michael always has piccolo strings on it. The Hyperbass is the yellow one that he carries around with him. He usually has three basses with him. The two fretless d-tuner basses, and a headless fretted bass (just incase he needs to play a fretted bass for some reason)

@bravehearts66 "This music utterly pierced my heart'.

As it did mine. One most crisp, emotionally stirring pieces ever written for an acoustic guitar. If a guitar cried, this is how it sounds.

[DreemOnMe]

@mackymaca Totally agree. This is the best I've heard, other than the original. You feel the ache, the tears, streaming from the strings.

I would have loved to have been there for that show!

Major kudos to both Adam & Mike.

@Semimentalman2 The first model of that bass comes in yellow.

[LiehTzu]

It's called the Hyperbass created by Michael Manring and Zon Guitars.

[sparkinsons]

@Semimentalman2 ? manring normally plays Zon. you'd have to research more to figure out what model though. still looks like a Zon
