    The KEXP Version of this song. Hands down, absolute favourite song ever by far. Thought ATW was gonna stick around for a few months and then just absorb into my endless playlist. But here they are, as my main daily music for a year straight. Pink Floyd, Cream, Hendrix,, ATW is on the same level. In my eyes,, namba 1. Love u long time Ben :D.

    Thanks for taking time to break this down man. Gonna plug away at this starting tonight. P.S. The KEXP Live version of this is one of the greatest in studio performances I've ever heard.

    Totally keen to hear more stories behind where the songs come from, how they were written, etc, and hopefully hear some more old demos too. This was absolutely killer.

    What a treat of a weekend (after an absolute shit week at work). The YT algorithm pulls up a song called Diamond from a band I've never a heard of and I'm blown away and listen to them all on a boozy Saturday.
    Decide to seen if there are any tutorials for ATW song and bloody hell, it's the guitarist from the band!
    Thanks for a smashing weekend (my fingers aren't too happy right now though)! Much love from the UK.

  • @davidbenkovic4197

    I've been searching for tabs or tutorials for this song after watching the KEXP live version. It was absolutely mesmerising to watch.
    Then I stumbled upon this video, just when I almost lost all hope of finding something, and it made most happy to see there is a tutorial. It must have been at least a minute of watching for me to realize that you're actually THE guitarist from All them witches. (At first I though it was funny that you look so alike lol, even with the Les Paul)
    I learned your name merely five minutes ago but I've been listening to your music a lot past two years and I absolutely adore the way you play. It speaks to me on a different level. Right now I'm listening to Our mother electricity album over and over again because it was the first album I found from your band and it will probably always my favourite too because of it. The solos there are insanely good, I could listen to them for hours. Blood Elk Heart, Bloodhounds and The Urn solos are especially amazing
    I play guitar only four years so far but to me, you're like an epitome of what it means to be a real artist, to play so gracefully and create such wonderful melodies...
    I don't know if you'll ever read this but in case you would, I wanted you to know that I look up to you and I'm so glad you were born.

    Ben thank you so much for the tutorial. Saw you guys in Sint Niklaas, Belgium a few years ago. It was a killer set! Great to hear a player that not only writes beautiful riffs, but also adds a lot of feeling to the playing and is not afraid to improvise and jam. When I hear Saturnine and Children of Coyote Woman it sounds like you stepped up the game once again. Lots of love from Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Your guitar-playing is truly inspiring!!! Looking forward to seeing you in Copenhagen again next year!

I feel like slide is a bit of a dying art and many slide vids I see are a little lack luster. Keep up that amazing music and killer videos!

I'm a drummer, but I've always loved to play a guitar and bass, right now I don't own a drum (just a bongo) and I've bought new strings a few days ago as a birthday present to myself, haha, so this will be definitely a time killer and I'll enjoy learning to play it from the 1st hand tutorial!!! Maybe you could do a quick one for Open Passageways... Greetings from Serbia to you and the band, you are probably my favourites in last 4-5 years... Cheers!
