You play like I do.

Shine by Collective Soul. Correct?

[@bingfutch]

You got it! It's one of my favorites to jam out.

[@scottarchibald8497]

Hey Bing, what is the tune your playing at the end of the episode?

[@bingfutch]

It's "Shine" by Collective Soul.

Why is the base string so loose ?

[@bingfutch]

It’s a trick of the camera. The string is vibrating at a different rate of speed then the rate at which I shot the video, so what you’re seeing is almost like every other picture of the string, versus a higher resolution that would not show the obvious nature of the string, moving, if that makes sense.they are not actually flopping around like that when I play.😂
