Could be wrong, but it seems like all the strings are making a lot of redundant notes, allowing more freedom to move if you're conscious of which register you're playing in. A lot of the chord shapes they do are the same as in the regular song at many points, just sometimes on different parts of the instrument. Meaning, it seems like just a regular guitar but with more strings. I'm sure with practice the basics could be picked up rather quickly if you know guitar already. Now playing it as well as them is another story entirely lol
@melodyisdead503 Жыл бұрын
To me it looks like the bass strings are mostly just tuned in a way that allows you to hit the open and let them ring while playing the main progression. I don’t think there is much more to it unless you are feeling creative and want to do something with lower notes.

He said he'd rather see someone put their own spin on it, which is what was done here, and which is why this is excellent. Thanks!

@@sachsenschlachter6401 this guitar has way more versatility than a piano. with 14 strings each of various widths and lengths you can achieve not only 14 completely unique sounds, but each can be played at several different octaves, and the variability of finger positioning allows one to achieve microtones that don't exist on the typical piano unless you intentionally retune it as such. digital pianos don't even stand a chance at replicating that because most software does not support anything outside of the typical chromatic scale. perhaps the only thing this can't do vs a piano is the various control pianos get from their pedals, but deft fingerwork can replicate those effects to some extent.
