He is playing a gypsy jazz guitar with a Seymour Duncan 59 humbucker pick up in it to have the character of an acoustic and electric guitar at the same time. LICENSE NO.: 1187872837 Brandon's thoughts on the song: So this song really has a special place in my heart. I remember listening to it riding my bike on the way to a friends when I was 14 years old ( on a Walkman, ever heard of that ;)) in Seminole, Fl. It really planted in me a strong positive feeling and a sense of wonder about what I could grow up to be. Years later, as I walked onto the concert stage of my Senior guitar recital in college, I heard the echo's of this song ringing clearly in my mind as I played my very first note. Time stood still that day. Genre Progressive Rock Comment by User 276443822 Excellent version Brandon.

If anyone is interested in playing it, I am tuned down a 1/2 step playing the intro and chorus in G ( sounding in Gb), and playing the versus and upbeat rock instrumental parts in E ( sounding in Eb) Check out the promo video to see how I am playing the variation on Alex's solo:http://youtu.be/k0Vjes6XuxU Love and respect to all.
