The song, or most of it anyway. Look out for part two where I daringly attempt the extra riff that appears over the fade out!

  • Daniel, you play beautifully. Thanks for posting all these videos.

    I noticed you hold the pick in an "unorthodox" fashion. Do you hold it with thumb, index, and middle finger?

  • Yes, with most of the weight on the middle finger, and my thumb angled downward instead of aligned with the strings. It means I can keep the plectrum flat against the strings without having to bend my wrist up so I think it lets me play for longer without getting RSI (which so far I've luckily never had, despite typing on a keyboard all day).

    By the way, the "orthodox" method is just what books for beginners say - the truth is you can play the guitar however you want to.

  • Hey i want to ask if you can play this guitar with 6 strings on instead of 12, like a regular 6string guitar

  • It's possible - see my cover of Spellbound by Siouxsie And The Banshees - same guitar with 6 strings on it.

  • what tuning is this in? not standard?

  • Standard, and notice the capo - admittedly the guitar may have been not in "concert" tuning cos I used to do it by ear, before some people complained.

    The 12 string takes me somewhere else.

  • @Adamkoehler11 Why are you here?

  • @Hruundi good job. do you have any more stupid questions?

  • Awesome. The capo's on the 2nd fret?
