[@adamgore1]

[@rollerblaker]

[@adamgore1]

@rollerblaker js-200 Montana Gold just saw one:)

[@sidve4140]

Heard once and before I knew it the play count was 43

[@mynameisgolden]

@GEOHHADDAD Actually, Peter Buck played on the studio version of this song, so that might explain some of the similarities.

[@Isaiah42069]

I can deff tell the Neil Young influence. Great song. the Qtv one thats more acoustic is better imo, but still an amazing song.

[@stevenkramer6217]

What is the other
stringed instrument? The one being played at 1:06, 1:41? I heard it was a 12-string guitar, but it doesn't look like a guitar to me...

[@thunder____]

It's a 12-string guitar

[@brucediamond4703]

Vox 12 string teardrop style with a few custom pickups in it .

[@matheusvenanc]

Similar to Frusciante's masterpiece "Ascension"

[@ikepotts3673]

thanks

[@vinniemass]

awesome, except for the drummer trying to fill up the backin vocal spot.

[@odd6294]

its ok but the recording is better. =]

[@GEOHHADDAD]

Great song - unfortuantely it is a total rip off of REM's "The One I Love."

[@adambaum5824]

They repaired that shitty REM song.
