Lol, I saw the comment through notifications but it was gone from the actual comments haha!! And shoot, dude, I hope you feel well soon man!

Hell yea, man! 😎🫡🫡 Sorry I've been absent for awhile, I'm getting my setup put together again, but I've got a lot I want to get out there and I'll be doing an easy tutorial for this song too! :)

@@aforestforthestrings yes!! Okay cool haha I’m lookin forward to some more vids 🔥 this one was dope

YOOOOOOO!!! I have, my dude! Unfortunately sold quite a bit of my recording gear not long ago after getting let go from the company I worked for, but I'm back at it again and slowly getting new gear here including building a new PC dedicated for production, I'll be back with more videos soon for sure and this song will be one of them😎 good to see you, man!

@@aforestforthestrings What gear did u use? If u have a smartphone you can usually get pretty decent audio of guitar recordings. Anyways, looking forward to the full song, lmk when u release a video.

​@myfavsandlikes7478 I'm actually gonna get a USB mic for my phone soon haha! Phone mics are usually designed for capturing ambient noise throughout a room, not so much up-close ironically 😅 but I had full interfaces and some nice mics I was gonna start using, but I'm slowly acquiring some of that gear back, I'm actually building up to a nice home studio! Ima let you know first thing, big dawg!!

​@@myfavsandlikes7478 yo dude, send me your most recent practice, man!

The tuning is DAEEAA

I just might, brother, in time! 🫡

Fueled by unemployment and octane🫡😂 thank you, brother!

@@aforestforthestrings foo said octane😭😂💯

​@ondrebrashears750 I honestly wish it was though😂😂 I ain't had a Dr. P in weeks now!

Thank you, man, I appreciate that!😁🍻

Thank you! Cheers!

More to come soon! 😁🫡

I agree, man! And you can get tabs on the CandyRat website :) but the tuning is EADGCE!

@@aforestforthestrings Thank you!

Thank you!😁

@@aforestforthestrings you are welcome 👍❤️

Dude, thank you so much, that truly means a lot! I'm always seeking to learn and improve, so I truly appreciate it!🍻🫡

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 😄

Thank you so much, Marty, I can't wait to share the whole thing!

Thank you, man, definitely check out the original song!

Muchas gracias hermano!! Salud!🍻🍻

Yo, dude! Thank you, I really appreciate it! Haha, and it's definitely a challenge in its own right, but I have this curse of playing well in front of people and not cameras😅 I also need to stop drinking coffee before takes lol, hence the giant mug right next to me. And ask away, my guy, I don't mind questions at all! I honestly learned the song by both watching Antoine play it and tablature. Honestly, I believe no matter how you learn it, you're always going to pick up something and it will always (more often than not) add to your creativity. There is a benefit of learning by ear when it comes to ear training, BUT, sometimes picking up on certain nuances can get lost in translation. Although, this can always improve with more experience and time. If you want to expedite that skill, ear training alongside tablature is an ultimate combo imo. I got examples like, learning this song, Encomium, and Whiskey Strategy by ear but I used the tabs eventually to help pick apart what I may have been missing... and I still have yet to redo Encomium lol. Also listening to artists play their own song in present time, versus when first published, you'll see how they've also evolved it over the years in how they perform it dynamically... this can also drive you to experiment. There's no real "one way" to learning perfectly. And the more sources you have, the better. And the more you mess with the song, the more songs you learn, the more you'll hear and recognize other things that will allow you to improvise further and make something with your own flare. I listen to so many songs on repeat, and I sing them in my head when I'm not actively listening to them, then I try finding the patterns with melody, bass, and rhythm. The tablatures and or live videos I watch I use to refine what I'm trying to play. Long story short, buying the tabs isn't gonna hurt your experience or creativity at all haha! I've been playing and writing music for guitar for almost 20 years, studied classical and flamenco through my teens while trying to be in metal bands, and I still use tabs to this day hahaha!... I hope none of that sounds pretentious, I just want to drive the point that it doesn't matter how you learn, as long as you're learning, everything else will fall into place if you give it patience and attention 😁 loving the process also helps haha! Thank you, dude! I'm sorry if this was long winded, though I hope it helped, always feel free to ask me anything else! I'm more than happy to help 🙂

Thank you, I appreciate it very much! Hahaha, the horns are the secret to all my powers😂

Oh, dude, you're the cool one here!😎 But thank you! I gotta stop drinking coffee before I record, I realize it makes me fumble a lot haha! And I'm so sorry to hear that, man :( I hate to hear whatever you experienced made you sell your guitars!

Yo, man! Thank you very much, I appreciate it! Always trying to improve🫡

Thank you so much, man, I truly appreciate it🫡😁

Yo, man, I appreciate that very much, thank you!

Thank you, brother, I most certainly will!💪🏼💪🏼

Thank you so much, dude, I'd actually like to re-do this one eventually after I release some music! I think I'm tuned down about a whole step, and then I'm also playing the song without a capo which Tom uses at the second fret😅 the main tuning is in FACGCE haha!

Thank you, man, I truly appreciate it!

Haha, not at all dawg haha, and I have plans to get more! I do wish I got it just slightly bigger, but that's okay😅 its hard to see, but it means "Eternal" in Japanese :)

@@aforestforthestrings Doesn't it make it hard getting jobs and such

Not really tbh, unless it's for government representation or anything federal, most places are starting to care less. Even then, Kat Von Dee has a makeup meant for covering up tattoos if need be haha

Thank you, brotha, I appreciate that!! Gonna be posting up new stuff soon, getting a new setup going!

Sheeeeeesh, third comment in a row 😅 I definitely appreciate your feedback and support hahaha! This one's been recorded again, and I've got a duet version coming out too. I definitely look forward to sharing all the rest next year!

Oh yea man! I started learning a lot of Dufour a long time ago, my problem is that I have a terrible habit of always starting another song I love without the previous. Some other songs I do actually set aside while learning because it can be a pain haha😅 and thank you! I'm still finishing a lot of these in the middle of my EP!
