This is a song that Hank Green, one half of the "vlogbrothers", wrote while
he was on his "This Machine Pwns n00bs Tour" to go out promote his album
"This Machine Pwns n00bs", and he does this by playing his signature
acoustic guitar with the words, what else, "This Machine Pwns n00bs" on the
body. It's a song about this nerdy folky musician and his journey on the road.
It's really a catchy tune and it will more than likely get stuck in your head
for some time. If you have any problems with the timing and Hanks spazztic
strumming patterns, just listen to the song or watch his Youtube video at:
