Great scene though.

I love the way Freddie/August plays the gutiar. It looks really cool! And doesn’t sound bad either!

And, to all the people flaming this stuff, why even stick around when you hear the notes flat or whatever?

Music is all about …
Music is all about discovery, emotions, and expression…not technique or how good a person is. Music comes from within…it’s the purest form of expression. I don’t get why people always have to argue about who is better or who plays faster…and to say something sucks or is crap is ignorant. Have some class…

i can’t believe anyone heard that -.-

This is in an open …
This is in an open tuning so your thoughtul analysis doesn’t apply. Try doing some research.

OMG THAT G D C G progression was beautiful, you are AMAZING

okay, but its in D of some sort

bULLSHIT. Plain …
bULLSHIT. Plain bullshit. Dropped d does not achieve a major harmonic. dadgbe is dissonant. Whatever information or crappy tabs you have are wrong. THat is an open blues tuning with a 7th, I’m unsure of what key. Most likely open flatted d or open flatted g .

Joshreece April 15, 2009

Need to argue about …
Need to argue about the tuning. What do you think the odds of 2 guitar players meeting and automatically being in the same alternate tuning?
As an enthusiast I think this sets the bar pretty low for guitar playing. Any kid could play that open harmonic slapping crap, in a steady tempo in a standard time sig. People are just ignorant about guitar so anything is impressive. Ritual dance - michael hedges. eRIK MONGRAIN - AIR TAP. You don’t have to watch some crappy movie to get to it. Just search.
