This goes way beyond "fun" in my opinion. Very creative and well thought out all the way through. Well presented visually as well.

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning. Looks like great fun. Thanks.

helium rocks! - great picking - bienvenuto!

**Ed Goist** · Jun-13-2012, 9:56am

Excellent playing and performance, Trent! Welcome!
However, in the future, please don't feel you need to be so formal and serious with your posts and videos.

Thanks for sharing that. And thanks for not doing the whole song.

An idea for you - have you heard of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)? It's a gas about six times denser than air (much as helium is about six times less dense than air), and thus lowers your voice correspondingly. You could work that into the act, maybe even start a second band called The Bluegrass Buffaloes (Hippos, Rhinos, elephants, whatever) the way Hot Rize and Red Knuckles And The Trailblazers did. Now, I know your buddy wasn't using helium, he just has a freakishly high voice (OK, falsetto), but still, that could be fun to fool around with.

Now THAT'S funny! (We need some type of approval button. It'll save a lot of typing.. and storage cost).
