yeah, but in about 90% of his songs are in wack tunings.
they're usually open tunings, it makes it sound out, and leaves room for mistake too. but no doubt, thats some difficult stuff.

totally sounds like keys..and it even looks like hes playing a little piano haha.

fun stuff. i liked it a lot. that tapping is intense.
