Thread tied to guitar string, drawing clasped finger and thumb down the thread makes it vibrate, which passes that on to the guitar string, modulating the sound a bit depending on distance from string. Makes for a sustained, low level stimulation. I know cos I saw them last night and they handed me a thread to stroke. Mazing.
Love this song and this performance. Found this video years ago and keep coming back to it. Saw The Slip play more than once back in the day in Burlington, Vermont, and maybe in Boulder once? Thank you for this gift.
Harmoniums and pump organs...those are basically synonyms. However this isn't a suitcase harmonium for a suitcase harmonium would render you only to be playing the keys with one hand as the other would be pumping the bellows.
+henry zucco Like u/renee lilley said, it is a string looped onto his guitar strings for a standing vibrato?/vibrating sound. In this visit or a later one he explains to cheryl that he picked this up from an old violinist
…thank you all for giving this beautiful gift to the world…💜
Saw them live in 2012 in a small, intimate, bar-like stage. Was the best concert I have ever experienced...
brad barr is a lyrical genius

I still can't believe I discovered these guys watching Hart of Dixie 😂 but thankful for that nonetheless
what is he doing to his guitar at the beginning. he's like running a string across it or something?
It's good to see RJ Mitte found a career path after Breaking Bad.
Mickey Morrow you should hear there cover of matchbox 20's 'crutch or there newest single meth is a horrible drug
be a utiful
WHAT is the lead guy doing with his guitar? when it looks like he's pulling something away?!?!
hes got a string looped around a few strings and pulls them to make them vibrate

I believe it's a harmonium not a piano.
Can anyone figure out the chords + tuning? Or tab?
Which key is that harmonica
this song gives me a mix of Bon Iver (the lyrics and music sound) and the Lumineers
Actually its a suitcase harmonium
Ah, ok thanks.
