Guitar strumming on "..wet thing called a tear."

I noticed this on some of your live shows, but that insane strumming pattern you do on Streams of Whiskey about that time when Shane sings "there was nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear" is just brilliant!

When I think about Mr.C as a guitar player, it comes always in my mind the face of Joe Strummer in the 1988's Live at the Town and Country talking about how there are really few good rythm-guitar players in the world, and that Mr. C is one of them.

Why does it stand out so much at that part of the song, are you turning your guitar up or strumming louder or something?

I think it's fair to say such flourishes are usually played with a deliberate flamboyance. Plus, yes, it goes up to 11.

11, of course, being The Craic Index (90) divided by 8.181818181818181818181818181818181818181818...
