    I don't understand why people freak out about the guitars not being directly plugged into an amp. Even if they didn't have an electric wireless amp, who fucking cares? They wrote the damn song and have played it hundreds of times and can probably do it with their eyes closed in their sleep. My god people these days are arrogant as hell.

    Okay I looked at my scale chart now and you win, the natural scale has one fret interval greater than the harmonic minor scale, such that the harmonic minor scale in 12th position in E standard has most of its notes on the 12th, 14th, and 15th frets with some on the 13th fret (same as the pentatonic blues scale, but has notes on the 13th fret unlike the pentatonic blues scale), while the natural minor scale in 12th position in standard E extends to the 11th fret extending the fret interval.

I don't know how to play natural minor so I will have to look at my scale charts now and see how it compares to the two above mentioned scales, the melodic minor and the harmonic minor.

    @TheBeastermaster lol they did show how to play it :P They are still playing the exact same notes. The ONLY difference if they played in live and plugged in for the camera would be the audio. The way they did it is smart cause you get to see what they are playing as well as you hear crystal clear audio, whereas they might have missed a couple notes here and there if it were live. i guess it just preference tho, some ppl (like yourself) would rather hear it plugged in.....i can dig that
