One with Weir... that is the answer
just ask Strummin'
I agree, correct and WORD!
Bouk doesn't count and it shows.
Personally, I think counting is either:
1 - you know it
2 - you play it
Some people get to 2 from 1. Others need to always count.
Sadly, I think everyone needs to know how to count even if they don't have to. Bouk has a good sense of timing and I'm guessing he doesn't count, but can!!
I'll say this about not counting - you will FUCK UP the return to the Bm on "Playin'" if you don't hit on the 14th...
