Free Falling Breakdown

I love these, if you don't want to 'look behind the curtain' then please don't watch 
to me it just shows the shining genius of JL

[BSJ]

Just crazy.

Some people have just too much time on their hands 

Seriously, it's a very detailed 'deconstruction' of the song. Thank you dillwyn.

And yes, BSJ, it is crazy! Bit of a perfectionist, is the Old Banger

There is a version looking at won't back down too. I'll post later
This is interesting for me as i'm often recording and seeing what he is doing,

Standout points for me

Using Nashville tunings (i suspected he used it to completely replace the 12 string), didn't realise he used a combination (sneaky get)
machine high hat (essentially a click track in plain sight)..
the v high harmony isn't necessary as prominent in the mixes and sounds brilliant
the BV's generally are just amazing ..given no auto-tuning
the verb on the vocal at the end of ch lines is just amazing
For what is essentially a simple structure, how complex he makes it.

there is of course scant detail into the engineering of the sound ... this is just organisation of tracks and vocals .... it all sounds brilliant

Old Banger Genius

A whole other world he lives in.

Won't Back Down Breakdown ...again terrific

[Chippa]

I love stuff like that.

BTW, I'm a little out of the loop...what's an old banger? Or maybe I don't wanna know....
