This is a relatively new song, called Haba Na Haba which TE played after being asked “Do you ever write songs without a guitar?” He explained that he often writes and practices without a guitar and played this tune as an example, as he wrote it on an aeroplane. He can hear the new compositions in his head as finished songs including the arrangement and any other instruments which may be required. As he doesn't read music or tab, he has no way of noting these songs down. When he was asked, “So, how do you remember them?”, he replied – “I play them a thousand times!”

Scott, I did ask him how quickly he goes through guitars. He said that he's had this one since (as far as I remember) 2008 although he hasn't been using it as his "go to" guitar for all of that time. He's pretty cruel to them when he gets them!
Hey all, glad you've enjoyed seeing these videos.I'm always amazed by what he can do. I did notice that he's playing a newer guitar too.
