Great job Seb, I would have thought this to be quite a difficult cover but you proved me wrong here, your voice has improved which is needed for ashcroft cover.The Verve were my favourite band for a few years but kinda forgotten about them recently. Always admired the guitarist for his spacy sounds which you captured here without pro equipment! good stuff man.
@raydeater It is a capo, that is just parked there. If Nick McCabbe had not created that sound he does, I swear I would have. It is exactly the kind of sound I enjoy the most. He once said that "guitar players who only go for technical ability but disdain sound itself have lost the plot", I say amen to that. Truth is however, I don't get even to the toes of McCabe, and I just can't sing, but I do it anyway, who cares if I cant... ;-)
@rohaihuparaguay Yeah know wot u r saying and with effects being quite cheap these days (ebay), my pedal board has grown, looking at your tags looks like yours has aswell! I've got the EHX Cathedral thats probably my fav pedal at the mo, can spend hours twiddling dials but before digital it was all about your playing didn't have the luxury of effects, the Wah Wah was as crazy as it got!
@rohaihuparaguay Theres a good documentary about the rise of guitar effect pedals called 'Fuzz the sound that changed the world' you should watch it if you haven't already seen it.
@raydeater Funny you should say so, Here I used a big muff for the electric, which is a mid scooped fuzz with a longer sustain essentially. I am going to check your new video now. I happen to be traveling in Berlin at the moment, a fantastic city.
@raydeater If you look at my new version of local hero, there I put a pedal I have modified. Lately I am getting into modifying making my own pedals, that is how all of those guys in the movie started.
@reitze01 I just use Garage band that comes with any Mac, and have a cheap mixer that can play one track on the headphones, while being fed a different track. Thanks for the comment.
@rohaihuparaguay thanks for the info. I had the imression there was something common that a lot of peps were using and I didn't think it was some of the more complex stuff - mac explains it. I can google for similar things now too. Thanks.
If you don't think you did this justice, than I don't know what would. You did a great job. I've never heard the original. I guess I'll have to go listen to it. But I can't imagine it is any better than this.
@marccomptois0913 Wow man, thanks for this comment!. Well, the fact is that The Verves original is light years better. Their lead guitar player, Nick McCabe is one of the most underrated players in rock. His playing borders on godlike genius. The thing is that it is at the same time very subtle and people tend to miss that. There are sounds that he makes that cannot possibly come from a guitar. I put McCabe with guys like Gilmour, Knopfler, John Squire, Johnny Marr in a my pantheon of greats.
Real tasty solo guitar work at the beginning, and as for the singing you sounded pretty much like David Byrne from the Talking Heads, which is neat as a knot and twice as tidy.
@weegingayin Cool of you to have a look, yes, I actually did practice the beginning electric guitar part, because I may be in love with swells and slides, but just winged the last solo and when you do that... this happens. I want to change how I do that last solo into something more "soulful" I guess. And very cool metaphor on the Talking heads. Means of course untidy as hell and at the edge of collapse. But I like that edge of a cliff feeling about them, I think I will cover Psyco Killer...
@kennymelodica Thanks for watching. You guys should try this one, or maybe willow tree, would love to hear that on uke and melodica, as you say, with cheese on top.
I always enjoy your clips rohaihuparaguay! I wish I could jam with you for a while, but even the global net makes distance relative: thousand of miles are to much. So, keep on. Thats great!!
que bueno!!! me encanto, lo haces tan diferente que parece otro tema, me encanta de verdad,al principio me gusta porque parece como si estuviera en el agua jaj, y al final esta muy buena la melodia del solo , muy bueno la verdad
@manchiloco Gracias por ver mis videos che, y por el comentario. Los swells los hago con un pedal de volumen, me obsesione un poco con ese sonido. Me gusta tratar de hacer estos sonidos que te llevan a un lugar, a veces no sale, pero me trabajan el cerebro los sonidos como swells y slides, no se porque.
I loved the caption half way through but kudos to you buddy i have not got the balls to start singing and playing and post it on youtube. great song and well covered
@dusty0608 Not a very good sign that you liked that caption... maybe next time I should leave the singing out, but, the song is meant to be sang my brother.
