Sick playing as always! You play it so clean which is honestly mind blowing! By far the best cover of it on the platform! Quick question if that’s okay?😇🙏Do you use a drop pedal when you need to change tunings because I notice you play songs using the same guitars but can have tunings at the complete opposite of extremes, or do you just change strings and setup your guitar each time? (If you do change your guitar’s setup each time then MAD RESPECT!! I’d be wayyy too lazy to ever do that!😅Also have no clue how to setup my guitar despite the countless tutorials I’ve seen haha never make any sense to me😅😅😅)
