The Joker-Steve Miller band cover

[Biggkat97]

[mjndblain]

[perella13]

it sounds pretty good!

[liquidfiregr]

[michaelm815]

nice guys, great cover

[enjoytheride85]

nice job guys!

[SuperPwner17]

i wonder ppl never play in the correct key

[mikefrenette]

Do you mean that you wonder why people don't play it in the correct key, like 'we' do or that we do not play it in the correct key?

[SuperPwner17]

nobody plays it in the correct key, including you. im not trying to sound rude or anything, i just wondered

[mikefrenette]

strange... I took the parts as they are. What's the 'correct' key?

[mikefrenette]

OK!!! I just found out why... The actual song is played half a step down. Making it easier to sing. Why people play it in this key? Because you don't have to tune your whole guitar down, but the downside is that it makes it harder to sing (higher pitched)

[SuperPwner17]

F major

[mikefrenette]

I may be wrong, but the original key seems to be F# (F sharp), which is half-a-step from where we play it. F major would be a whole-step down.

[SuperPwner17]

o ok. i see, the key you originally play was on the video

[mikefrenette]

We play it in G, to use the open chords (like Steve does) but he tuned his guitar half a step down.

Thanks for leading me onto this.

[18pluspuntnl]

wow you're great guys.

Steve Miller FTW!

[mikefrenette]

Oh! Thanks man!

[captainmorgan555]

yeah no problem man

[JoeTheMaestro]

Very nice take on one of my favourite songs. Keep up the good work. If I may give a request, please do sweet child o' mine.

:D

[METALLICAandBPMrule]

Now this is how it's done!!

I saw a different cover of this before and it wasn't that good. i mean the guy played and sang well but he didn't have the feeling. It was more like just some random song that just happened to sound like The Joker. Awesome solos too man. Did you have those planned out to play like that or did you improvise a little outta the blue? hehe

One more thing, you can sing extremely well man! I wish I could sing like you dude.

[mikefrenette]

Wow! Man that's a lot of compliments!

The solos are improvised. Just pentatonic stuff with a bit of feel. As for the singing, man... a lot of people seem to think it's good. I still can't believe it! Thanks a lot !

[METALLICAandBPMrule]

By the way, what was that in beginning before you guys started playing? I get a kick out of it everytime I hear it.

And did you learn this through tabs?

[mikefrenette]

To ne honest, I try to remember what it is but I can't!

[doubletfarms]

nice, I would like to see/hear it again with you facing the camera!

[mikefrenette]

We were rehearsing... we had look at each other. Thanks for the comment doubletfarms!

[gitchbag]

wow im am impressed your voice is killer man rock on

[KNpoorman]
