@oclandestin Hey dude. One of Seth's favourite instruments is his Martin tenor guitar, which I believe is an antique instrument. They have only four strings and are tuned differently and slightly higher, which combined with a smaller body and more select woods make for a very sweet sound. The gaelic lilt comes from the tuning, which is prized in Nashville for country tracks, but is also golden for British/Hibernian folk. His relentless riffing in the intro would be difficult on a normal guitar.

Perfectly said. A phenomenal song.

A rare talent...a moving and inspiring song.



That is what you call real music. No lip- syncing, no unwanted special effects justthe artist and the audience

sure did, hes a really friendly guy too. he really seemed like he wanted to be there. unlucky about not getting to see him in plymouth. i would go on my own to see him though, his live performance is definitely worth looking like an idiot for a few hours!

One question: Why is the guitar so small?
oclandestin 3 years ago
not sure, probably sounds different. i don't know a huge lot about guitars. but it works for him and his music
