Well thank you Connor, and yes it is, and yes they are. You see, This is an Open C tuning. Which basicly means the open-string notes form a C major chord, which is the triad C,E,G having the root note C, the major third C,E, and the perfect fifth C,G. In this case it is CGCGCE. Only mister tallest man changed the E to a D. (He does that quite a lot, if i might add) But basicly when you strum the guitar without fretting you hear a C Major. Back to you Connor!
+Stijn Burger Ive been playing for so long and i dont think ive ever once gone into even a tiny bit of theory behind the notes/chords/scales and so on. I really should, haha thanks
Actually 1904, Bright Lanterns, Love is All, Tangle, Grow Away and Little Brother are in EADGBd. The only song in standard I know of is Drying of the Lawns
This is the type of song that would play at the end of a feel-good movie where the characters have resolved their issues and are leaving on a road trip somewhere, smiling.
For some reason it makes me sad that he doesn't have a band... Jeez, it's not like that means he doesn't have friends. Probably just because he's so good it makes me feel like he's been sitting practicing in his room all his life. Anyways... time to stop being falsely empathetic. Uh, amazing song.
This chord progression is Heaven to my ears.
Imagine listening to this and not appreciating his talent.
Yeh, like this tool
Just amazing, and an great person too. I met him 3 months ago and everybody must know that he is a really good and kind person.
Props to the radio station for having a studio worthy for this amazing artist

I love how he treats his instrument, it's almost like he is clinging on to it to keep his sanity and pouring his soul inside the guitar.
this song is so awesome.
Agreed!
the tallest man on earth singing & playing
makes me the happiest girl on earth : DD
The master at weird tunings.

His voice is heavenly.
One of the best songs!!!
I love this guy!!!
Such a great voice!
seeing how much he enjoys this makes me happy enough :D
damn that guitar has a great sound
+loicjikko That's open tuning. He mostly plays open tunings, it's so fun and easy and sounds really great!
+Stijn Burger Its not in open tuning, and none of his songs are in open tuning, if im right by what you mean by open tuning haha

no problem mate! We all need to learn sometime! Were 11 months down the road now, how goes the open tuning? :D
Gives me chills
So good!!
Wonderful song
Love him.
Finally he´s back at KEXP!
Yeahh!!! He is Back!
Actually 1904, Bright Lanterns, Love is All, Tangle, Grow Away and Little Brother are in EADGBd. The only song in standard I know of is Drying of the Lawns
Mel le as well as The Dreamer.
Standard tuning.
beautiful
this is gorgeous! such talent
wow... he's really amazeballs
Way better than the album version.
William Lim nope. The bass in the studio version seals the deal
This is the type of song that would play at the end of a feel-good movie where the characters have resolved their issues and are leaving on a road trip somewhere, smiling.
Sounds good
OHMYHECK! Thank you so much for this! Montezumas is amazing.
makes my day!
Soooooooooo cooollll....
This is what's so great about it:
song, music, hair, muscles :)
i love this guy! (:
Unreal! Roll on Vicar Street!!
LR Baggs M1 Active but this video's sound is because KEXP have mic'ed it up with a small diaphram condenser
Ladies and gentlemen, HE'S BACK!!!
He has used standard in a few, The Dreamer, Thrown Right At Me, and 1904 spring to mind. But I know that there's a couple more.
his live performances are even better than the album versions
Haha that makes SO much more sense. Don't know how I misread that. The pickup looks like an LR Baggs M1A though.
Fucking outstanding!!!!
the voice
ty
Oh my shees, YES!
Correct, I tweeted him the same question and he gave me the same answer
Wow.
so god
the ones in his guitar are LR Baggs pickups, but im not positive that the sound is coming form the pickup or if its just the microphone
I stand corrected.
first comment in 2013 :)
this song is fantastic :)
Wooooohaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
love the face 3:37! so cute.
It's a LR Baggs. Either the M1 or M1 Active.
yup I know. I was simply asking what kind that kind of pickup that is.
I fucking love the hammer on pull-offs... 0:45
He did have a band before the TTMOE period! Montezumas! And it's avaliable on youtube, just serach the band name or go here watch?v=gdudtDEa5uM
The sound is from the mic i guess. not the pickup
Watch my cover version of Wind and Walls! YEAH YEAH YEAH
cant believe i cant go to latitude this year and hes playing :(
did he call him "kristen"?!?!?!?!?, my name is "Kristian" also, and sometimes people mispronounce my name too - love his music!
this live performance is better than the song he outed!
how do you say "here in studio, we have the tallest man on earth" with a straight face
i'm pretty sure it's the L.R. Baggs M1
3 guitars = 3 tunings? :)
A Carmel, OM
Some kind of LR Baggs pickup, not sure which one
Yes, he use alternate tunings. Never standard. Well that i know of.
what's the tuning ? and the capo location ? ( just askin' tryin to play this song ^^)
+loicjikko Open C with the first string down to D, capo 5th, depending on your vocals.
lol I find myself asking this every time I watch him play something, his tunings are insane but really fun to play in
6 people accidentally hit the dislike button.
Anyone know what mic he's using? It sounds great, looking for a new one myself.

OK OK please stop sending me answers about the pickup, I've gotten about 20 answers by now I know it is LR baggs M1, you all are great though!!
does anyone know what guitar he's using? what brand is it?
WOW.....come on people this is levels above the junk we hear on radio at work...
LR Baggs M1 Active would be my guess.

Looks like an L.R. Baggs M1.
:D!
Yes. If he tunes one guitar too many times the strings will snap :)
lr baggs m1 active

check out ben boward
LR Baggs M1A, the same I use. and if you care to check out my music i'd be glad. Cheers.
pickUP, he said. L.R. Baggs M1 ;]
Impossible to tell really but it kind of looks like a Dunlop .60
if i was just half the lyricist as he is...
