Crazy Acoustic ****

I just about lost it when I saw this. A friend showed me this video just a couple days ago.

I've seen that!

At first, I was like "yeesh, just what the world needs, another white guy slapping the top of an open tuned guitar," but then I divided by the gee-whiz novelty of the white guy tapping the top of an open tuned guitar (which, it's important to note that I hate), and realized that it's a good groove and the song is compositionally interesting and arranged well.

TL;DR - good song

This is a thought-provoking statement. It asserts that the only value of that technique is in novelty.

I'll admit my first complete thought was "yeesh, another player using a thick pick, low action and humbuckers through a marshall-type circuit with too much gain and low end."

I posted about this last year.

I think he's ****ing awesome and that's a really great song.

Kam, I am beginning to think that we may actually be the same person. Like maybe there is some weird Fight Club type **** going on.

... come to think of it, I haven't been sleeping well.

Indeed. Love it.
