This song was my soundtrack to the many nights I spent up with my son when he was first born. As a new father and not getting much sleep this helped keep my head level. As ‘ugly’ as the tuning is the song is beautiful. Thank you.
And ladies and gentlemen, This man here proves that no matter how awful your guitar sounds it does not really matter. Your playing techniques are the one that matters the most
@@paramountofpuns6913 there's a difference. Knowing how to play around with harmonic structure can give your music lots more subtlety, direction and character. Knowing how to read staves or tabs helps you learn music easier. Not quite the same imo
I recommend Fender's tuning app. Suggesting you only use the free parts of the app, you can tune with either the Manual tuner, which you just press the note, and it plays, or you can use the Auto Tuner, which listens to your guitar as you pluck each string. It can be also be used with Ukulele and Bass, in addition to Guitar. I don't know if you can tune Guitars with more than 6 strings though. One interesting feature, is not only does it list a bunch of preset tunings you can select to tune to, you can add your own. I tried adding Ichika's Ethereal tuning. Needless to say, my guitar tuned perfectly, but I'm not good in that tuning yet.
I could see the smile at the beginning due to the exotic sound of the tuning. I did myself. You have made something so abnormal and exotic sound great. Adding your own flare to it. And the abnormalities of the tuning was exemplified when you strummed the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 12th frets across all strings consecutively at the beginning. My point in this is saying you have once again impressed me and your audience with your musical abilities. I must thank you for your hard work and creativity that you have put into this channel and still consistently do so. I hope that who ever has read this entire thing have a great day and that your day has been made better by Ichika Nito’s playing.
The theory and preciseness required to write and play in that tuning is probably the most impressive thing here. Like one accidental string or fret is gonna sound so bad it's like dancing ballet in a minefield
Pursuing challenges in art shows enormous drive, knowledge, and dedication. Succeeding in those challenges shows skill, talent, and determination. You seem to be the whole package, Ichika! Very artistic and admirable! Amazing work, as always! Ganbatte!
I need this song, I need it on everything platform. I need it in a new slice of life anime when the main characters realize they are in love and run towards each other

what is happening
I'm mad at myself for even doubting how this would turn out.
At first it was really ugly sounding because of the barre chords, then after that it was straight fire 🔥🔥🔥
I genuinely shuddered when he first strummed it
The beginning sounded bad because the notes E and F are right next to eachother
He was just testing the strings the songs starts after the strum
Minor seconds always sound terrible 😂
Looked like he was trying not to laugh while initially strumming it.
When he went
EFEFEF

i felt that
The way actually sang along at the beginning “EEF AIIF EAFF IEEEFF-“
When he played the tuning I literally got pangs of anxiety.
Was it cured by the end?

The first few strums he played made me feel like the heaviest breakdown in the universe was about to come up.
