    This is honestly one of the best pieces of music ever produced on a single guitar. I’ve played for years and now I’m older and married but man, I sometimes wish I had taken a route to become as disciplined and dedicated as Carson because this is next level stuff- definitely doesn’t get enough credit for how incredible it is.

    Humility, metaphysical treasure.
    Wisdom, you that drain me with your grief waters.
    Ladder that takes me to the bottomless abyss.
    Towards up.
    Towards the light.
    Calm down.
    Don´t collapse.
    There´s still something to live for.
    The puzzle can be completed.
    Even if its pieces change all the time.
    And to top it all it´s finite, in its never ending.
    He couldn´t even suspect what had happened.
    Wounds where healing.
    But the body was still decomposing, in beautifull and delirious forms.

    • @Fezzterify
      @Fezzterify 6 лет назад +9

      I'm not sure that that's the sound of him picking harder. I think the archtop guitar he's playing doesn't have the same level of volume that we're used to hearing out of an acoustic guitar, so the sound of plucking the string stands out more.

    • @lilguy7491
      @lilguy7491 6 лет назад +1

      @@Fezzterify Something else that I've noticed is that he is holding the pick between the side of his index finger and his thumb rather than the tips of both. I think this gives it a thicker sound.

    Thank for the amazing trip. Fuck. That was special. Feeling deep conexion with this. Also thanks for showing me such a wildly free-way to express yourself thru music (specially thru the way you play guitar). I learn a lot watching this since I follow a not very different way of playing guitar. Just I guess I´m not allowed to get so far, so good...

  • @TheMidst
    @TheMidst 12 лет назад +10

    Looks to me like C# standard, I thought he played this in D standard, but my guitar in D is one semi-tone too high. So that's C#F#BEG#C#, I'm working on a Guitar Pro version of this tab so if anyone wants it just PM me. On Carson's Tumblr page you can find tabs for this song in a text version, which is what I'm making my Guitar Pro tab from.
