The National 'The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness - Guitar Lesson

Guitar Breakdown of The National's 'The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness'.
We go in on another The National tune. This is a great exercise in a guitarist finding their space in a song and not overplaying*. So much fun to play. It's a banger.
Check out this performance which really brings out how the guitarist approaches the song in a live situation.

*Is it possible to 'overplay'? Discuss below.

Paul Hutchinson Thanks, man.

[@AnotherproblemOn]

hey, i'm struggling at seing how you place your fingers on the d minor, is this the usual D minor ? Or a variation (like on the G, where A chord seems muted). Thanks a lot in advance

[@Eurobailey80]

You are always talking about 'he' but actually there are two guitars.

[@GuitarBreakdowns]
