This was on the MSN page. I need plenty of room to play one guitar all by myself.

Wow. They all have interesting voices, too.
I'm amazed that the strings above the nut
sound so pleasant. Mine usually sound like
a mouse dieing in a paper shredder.

Tommy Emmanuel also does the playing above the nut thing, and he makes it sound like a tiny kalimba/mbira.

The different sizes of their hands was unsettling for me to watch.

Here are 6 hands on 1 guitar. I didn't know this was such a thing.

I just want you to know, mutie, that I've been obsessed with
Walk off the Earth since you brought them to my attention.
They do some incredible one-take videos, in which they throw
the instruments on- and off-screen.

In this newest vid, they use some nice cigar box guitars and
other cardboard instruments in a world made of cardboard.
Pretty neat.

:lol: When I read that I had to try playing the stings above the nut on my guitar :tomato: turns out that is EXACTLY what they sound like.
Poor mice. :sniffle:
I've got to admit they've got talent. :D

Thank you. Good luck with your obsession. I'm glad these folks found each other. The most recent group that has caught my attention has been The Avett Brothers.
