I went to a concert in Malmö last Thursday evening. A terrific rock/folk song group was playing. They call themselves Världens snabbaste allsång, which translates roughly worlds fastest singalong (group singing.)

After little less than an hour of playing one of the band members took an acoustic guitar and put the straps over his shoulders as if he was going to play it. Then he took the guitar by the neck, smashed it against the stage and broke it. You can see this strange procedure by clicking HERE. The "instrumental break" is in the first minutes of the video.

I didn't understand all of what he said, as my Swedish is not that good yet, so I wondered why he did this. But thanks to my studying of Andrew's videos on music theory I suddenly realized why he broke his guitar to pieces:

He wanted to play broken chords! lol!

Needless to say he didn't play anything on that guitar.

Yeah probably, VictorCS. Smile

But did you hear what he said? Because Norwegian and Swedish are very alike, I was wondering if you understood it.

Curious to know, because the people in the audience laughed a lot. It was something about pressing too hard (trycka for hårdt.)
