I can't think it's anything other than that tbh.  |
Nice to hear an explanation from one of the experts. The thing is - when Terri an I first noticed it, These Days had yet to be played at all on this tour. I just assumed that it was guitar playing induced hand stress. Jon has been playing more guitar this tour than he had for a while - especially on the US arena tour while doing Thorn in My Side.
