Selfies and autographs for everybody. Please note that all three of them played at that level for their entire sets. They never let up. And then they all came out together. :o And I am, in fact, having a dope ass 60th birthday today, thank you! Best wishes Alex!

that technique where he is holding the neck near the headstock is just muting the strings while hes fretting/tapping the notes on the neck. he hits his fingers on the neck hard enough for the notes to ring out just as if he were picking them with a guitar pick. But with tapping/fretting without picking, as soon as you take your fingers off the neck, the strings still vibrate making unwanted noise and makes it sound messy. Muting at the top of the neck cleans it up nicely.
