Counting Song for Bitter Children - the Mountain Goats

[@OortCloudView]

Fun fact: over on The Mountain Goats forum, a user was looking for this hard-to-come-by song and John actually took the time to re-record it. How many artists do you know who are willing to do that for their fans?

Mike C how many artists have songs it take five minutes to re-record?

[@adityakhanna113]

@@nicf1555 I think they meant just play on request

@coolestpyro no problem, this is one of my favorite songs by tMG

[@Vashasm]

Does anyone know how he's making that feint knocking type sound throughout the song? Like right before the first "one two", he strums and then seemingly stops but there's a sound that keeps going.

+dr. sweet baby bruce He's muting all the strings but he's still strumming. In tabs it's written like -x-
