***Note: Adam plays both the synth and the guitar at the same live.

Quite the talented guy, his timing with the synth and rythmn

with the guitar were great. He's practiced that's for sure.

The synth is on the ground in front of him and he just steps

on a certain pedal on the synth to change notes.
