    That rhythm in Fake Empire is seriously a piece of genius.

      3:4 polyrhythm. Remember: pass the god damn butter!

    Yeah, love the guitar in slow show. I almost wish you could hear it better in the recorded version, but the song is still awesome

    His Sheraton sounds amazing even unplugged. Mine never sounded that good...

    The National owns all of those. Yes, sometimes, even Radiohead.

    @MrNosurprises He tells you the chords, basically he's just changing the root note during the verse though. GCF are the roots, they are all on the 3rd fret. Just watch him.

  • @blackfrancis55
    @blackfrancis55 14 років тому +1

    @jackmilas ..Why? What more could you need? You can see him playing it-he gives you the chords. The only thing that might be confusing is that he says the chords in relation to the capo, rather than their first position forms, and doesn't explain that. But so what? You can see what he is holding.

    The rhythm for Slow Show goes like:
    Patata patata pa-ta
    Patata patata pa-ta
    (two triplets, and two half beats)
    Just can't figure out where he strums up or down.

    • @Zonrup
      @Zonrup 10 років тому +5

      Down down* up, down down* up, down up is the strumming pattern
      pa ta ta, pa ta ta , pa - ta
      I tried to match the strum directions with the rhythm you wrote, that probably won't show up properly on mobile.
      The ones with asterisks are where he "half-asses" the strum and doesn't hit the lower strings to avoid repeating the bass notes

    • @gracerulloda
      @gracerulloda 10 років тому

      Thanks! I end up doing down-up-down-up throughout when trying to figure it out, and it sounds ok but not as nice. Will try this out later. :)

    • @theogoldfinch1487
      @theogoldfinch1487 9 років тому

      +Zonrup Actually it's down up down* - down up down* - down* up (try singing it out loud - not the lyrics but "down up down, down up down, down up" and you'll hear it

    @cuttoothom grizzly bear, animal collective, deerhunter, fleet foxes, flaming lips, etc. its hard to say they one band is the best. unless its radiohead.

    Can anyone tell me what guitar Aaron is using? It looks like an Epiphone Sheraton, but can't find anything exactly like it. Could it be one of the original Sheratons like the one John Lee Hooker Played?

      @@BrettTalleyMusic that guitar confuses me too... The Problem with the 50. anniversary model is just it got mini Humbuckers, Aarons got full size Humbuckers (and its obviously Cherry Red ;) ) maybe a standard sheraton with the frequensator Bridge?

    They're quite good! And I think this is a very thought-provoking question!
    I'd say the following American bands are certainly better: Wilco, The Flaming Lips, Animal Collective.
    And the following American bands may be better (time will tell): Grizzly Bear, Lightning Bolt, LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, Dirty Projectors, Wavves.

    how can you compare Animal collective with Wilco?
    do you prefer Brother Sport or At least that what you said?
    ahahahahahah
    I think you should be deaf to compare them.
    and if it is too hard to comprehend for you: they're doing too much different music.

  • @MQqua1
    @MQqua1 14 років тому

    You are comparing one of the best-critically-reviewed American bands of the decade (Animal Collective) with one of the most hated non-bands of the decade (Britney Spears).
    That'll teach me to post a serious comment on UA-cam.
