hey folks!

I shared this track from my band Curling's new album about a month ago and thought this video that we just put out would be a offset guitarist forumite's wet dream. lots of cool vintage offsets here!

We shot this at the very friendly Austin Vintage Guitars one morning when they let us come in before opening. There's a contest on our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/curlingband) to name as many guitars as you can from the video. The winner gets a free vinyl test pressing of the album! how many can you name?

PS you can check out the album and the vinyl/cassettes here: https://curling.bandcamp.com/

That was great. I really enjoyed that, and the video concept was pretty good, too.
This is an excellent rectangle

Had to come back and say that little guitar hook is still in my head. Great little pop composition. Really infectious. 8)

I've said before, this track is so darned catchy!

Did you spend the time to tune all of these guitars before you filmed them?

thank you so much! :)
I didn't tune the guitars (that would have been a nightmare with some of those 12-stringers), but I did throw a capo on the correct fret for my guitar parts (5th fret). The song is in DGCGBD if you want to try to play along!
