I watched him play that from about 3 feet away last night and I wasnt as impressed as i thought i would be. Still an awesome song, (another note, I am pretty sure he played it on one of his 12 string matons with just one G string. so an 11 string maton.

If anyone wants it, I took this video of treat yo Mamma last night. Amazing.

Why only an 11 string?

Not sure I have the booklet (at home out of reach right now), and it states his instrument as an 11-string.

Who knows? Maybe the higher octave of one of the strings bothers him. I will try and google some things.

I am fairly certain it's the G string

Oops wrong thread.

He does remove the high G, making it an 11 string. Why he does this is beyond me. Interesting to think of his 11 string without the octave G and then the Martin McGuinn HD-7 with the added octave G. Thanks for posting the tab. I was suprised when i found it, it isn't very difficult to get the main theme down. He never plays it the same twice apparently, as you can tell from the 2 different videos on this thread. My buddy saw him in ATL and said it was much different than the video.

Maybe it's for sliding/soloing purposes?

hes always played the 12er without the high octave G, he doesnt like the sound, its changesthe sound of the whole thing when you pull it off because its so high. he took a router and made a swirl pattern with the hole where the tuining peg was.

the 2 jacks are the big band A2 pickup jacks... one is piezo and i think the other is transducer??

This is an assumption, but I'm thinking the top jack is for the piezo which is his clean sound, and the bottom one is for the magnetic soundhole pickup, which i assume is the one he would send to his marshall. I could be wrong though.
