personaly I loved the finger tap intro better. no offence
but the song it self is amaizing
hey man, idk if you personally read these, but youve inspired me to play lapside tuned(open) whatever you perffer to call it, with this song, you have quickly become one of my favorite artists, and i can wait to see you at BONNAROO '10! haha
this song was my first introduction to john butler, and it remains my favorite. love his guitar work, his word-smything, and social awareness. so excited to see the trio this summer in NYC!!
