This video makes me smile. The band Walk Off The Earth perform a Gotye cover on one Epiphone acoustic. Pretty incredible.

I find it mind bogglingly irritating, but I don't much care for that song to begin with, so I'm probably not the target audience with this one.
I do get a kick thinking about how weird the practice sessions must have been.
Like who figured out who got to do what, and how long were they hunched over that guitar until they got it down?
And, does the guy on the far right feel left out?

It's a cool concept- wish it was a different song, though. That one just grates on me. I don't think I ever noticed it before this week, but I was in a hardware store on Monday, and it was on the radio, and since then it seems like it's everywhere.

Don't back pedal man, dig on what you dig on!
I'm sure there's plenty of stuff I like that you wouldn't. knowwhatimean?

Interesting phenomenon with this video, though, in t hat was this cover that made the Gotye version a hit. It was being sent around lie crazy a few months ago- now many hits on YouTube nw? It was over 50 million last time somebody set into me and at least 20 people did. Once my Mom em'd it to me from her log cabin in the mountains, I knew it was pretty popular and that was weeks before the original version started climbing the charts.

they should buy another guitar so that they're not so crowded.

Nobody is backpedaling. I dig on the video which shows lots of innovative guitar playing. I wouldn't have been able to come up with that.
I'm not a fan of the song because it is my wife's favorite song. That being said, she sings it every day, all day.
