Forget those complex “classic” knots and try the “Van Wijk” knot. It couldn’t be easier, you only move the fat end of the tie and wrap it around the skinny end 2-4 times before pulling the fat end through the wraps. So fast, impossible to forget, and looks classy while being distinct.
Saw a lot of criticism of this song harping on how generic and simple the riff is. And I agreed, it’s kind of Kublai Khan’s schtick. But they’re capable of more interesting rhythms, and I realized it was definitely an intentionally “low tech” rhythm. Brought me back around.
