Panda Bear's live performance is widely known as an experience where you watch a bro pressing buttons on a sampler and singing into the microphone. Behind him are 'trippy visuals.' In an effort to 'spice up' his live performance for the upcoming album cycle for Tomboy, he added a guitar to his live set.

It seems like he is doing some sweet riffs, and even executing some sweet chord progressions.
