[@fla_panther1332]

@@untartelette7545 No, there are not. This is all one guitar. He's using an open tuning. Watch his right hand's fingers, you can see when he plucks the higher strings for some of the notes the vocal melodies use. This is also why he's able to barre certain chords. The technique (on this particular song) is not that hard, what's hard is working out what needs to be played, then practicing it enough to be able to play it fast enough to hit all the right notes while still maintaining the feel. That's the hard part. (Source: I used to be able to play stuff like this. Haven't had time to pick up the axe in a long time.)

Amen I can barely play the melody to this on acoustic. He's playing the bass riff, melody and vocal parts all at the same damn time. Its blowing my mind. I think I'll need to grow more fingers to compete.

I'm an absolute disaster playing the guitar but I've seen and listened to a great deal of fine guitarists. And I've got to say: I agree wholeheartedly with what you say. I just don't get my head around the fact that Ernesto can play the chorus of the song while also incorporate basslines, the guitar and some of the percussion all in one take. Apart from how breathtakingly difficult it is to play that way to sheer perfection: it is beautiful. And that commands even more respect imho.
