For the guitar junkies, it's in B-F#-B-E-F#-B.

I like it.
In the 0:54 area when you start hitting the strings it gets a bit messy, I think some of those notes shouldn't be there.
That style is really cool, kudos for you for trying to learn it.

nutcracker...what?

jendraz..it's just tuned so low that everything muffles everything else and some strings get a bit twangy by mistake. I'm working on it.

there's a new version there that's in Open D rather than something close to Open B. It's still a bit rough b/c the tapping parts get faster each time. idk if i should keep it or not. decide for me. either way, the new version's there and that's the progression i'm going to use from now on.

Cool.
pretty sound and good time sense, too.
I love that acoustic guitars can be such good percussion instruments.

Keep playing!

Nice, I like the little hits you add on the body of the guitar.
