If you're wondering where that guitar in the background is coming from, he's actually playing it with his feet.

[@Blizzerd84]

Silly me thinking he played it with his mouth

[@theothertonydutch]

@@Blizzerd84 Actually, his mouth is only part of the equation. He's using his tongue to do the chords.

this might be some of the best tone ive ever heard from an electric stringed instrument

[@aReallySwellGuy]

I got a lap steel recently and it’s just the most heavenly sound and feeling. When done well, the steel guitar resonates deeper and any other electric instrument

@@galenmarek8287 yeah I've never seen a humbucker with angled pole pieces. I imagine it helps balance the volume and tone across the strings

The breakdown of what affects tone in electric instruments: 5% guitar construction, 25% pickup, 60% the right amplifier, and 10% convincing the guitarist that he really doesn't need eighty pedals, he needs to practice

[@laytonrichards2188]

0:35. If you are a musician who's emotionally connected to music, then a chord progression like that really gets to you.

[@cometface]

Each chord change in the progression has its own resolution note (the bass note is distanced at least an octave from the melodic note). If I had to put it into words, I think about the scale of mountains or valleys, the melody makes me think of the height of adventure and the resolving bass notes make me think that home isn't just one place, its where you are and the people you're with, no matter how close or far you are from your actual home; home is where the heart is Idk why i felt like becoming a KZbin philosopher slash music theorist lmao who knows i could be wrong and just talking out my ass but these are the emotions i feel
