Hi again, how are you getting that percussive sound, its there right at the start of the video

[200000028]

@BlindLemonMeringue the high clack on the offbeat is from my thumb, but the low thump on the downbeat is from a little electrified wooden box called a logarhythm that you plug into an amp and it basically amplifies your toe tap. I highly recommend it.

[BlindLemonMeringue]

Is it steel or nylon strings?

WHAT IS TUNING?

[200000028]

@BlindLemonMeringue steel, standard tuning down a half step.

[BlindLemonMeringue]

enjoyed this a lot, great interpretation of a great tune. Really disappointed that the sound recording gizmo stops me seeing the fingering, please keep it out of the way of the fretboard in future

Also disappointed that theres no tab or chords

cheers from the UK

[200000028]

@BlindLemonMeringue thanks! yeah sorry about the mic, I usually do make an effort to keep it out of the way, but that particular spot was where I was getting the best mix of both voices and the guitar.

Also sorry about the lack of tab, i just really hate tab and tabbing. the chords are just E, A, and B.
