The mix of steel strings & classical nylon strings sounds really good.

harmonies saved it after a shaky start

[@lLostGems]

octaves aren't harmonies

[@Virmax5701]

Lost Gems who told you that

[@cyrusbudatfletchergateart3569]

Who's the guy on the left? It seems he's been a regular member of DIIV for quite some time...

[@dieontape]

+Cyrus Budd that's Colin Caulfield, who is also in the band Young Man. You should check them out!

[@curtis5979]

He plays keys and guitar sometimes and does backup vocals, he's a great guy

[@seriousst001]

He eventually replaced bassist David Perez at around 2017.

[@Peyote1312]

Colin is very talented. He really helped take the band to another level.

[@marcocarranza9027]

[@hurguez1992]

whats the tuning? sounds like e flat but not sure

[@stanchick1956]

open e i think

[@millennialanimal]

Elliott played it in open C, but this might be E, Play around with the tuning.

[@loganphelps4916]

BUILT TO BREAK Definitely E.

[@Shivayoudestroyme]

why the reverb

[@renorelik]

Because it’s DIIV homie!

[@judeandon]

Not a fan of the vocal performance but the guitar side was on point! Great job :)

Cole is amazing. If Kurt Cobain had a son...
