Don't Fear the Reaper - BOC Tribute

[Firesideacoustic]

Awesome !!

[mattpresti]

nice bro! what are the acoustics your using?

[ScalerWave]

@mattpresti One of my all time favorites. It's actually only one acoustic in the recording. The guitar I'm playing is a Larrivee' dreadnought. I recorded the guitar part twice and hard panned it right and left.

[ATOMIKDOG23]

exellent cover......loved it

[ScalerWave]

@ATOMIKDOG23

Thanx, this is one we had been playing out on the patio and decided to record.

[episnamive4e]

Supernatural rocks!

[BloodTrucksandBeer]

you nailed the song perfectly.. You gave the song a almost folk sound, but contemporary folk that's very appealing... Love the harmony and the solo. wow!

[ScarFromPast]

This song is great, but it could really use more cowbell. ;)

[ScalerWave]

@ScarFromPast

I got a fever ..... and the only cure is more cowbell ... lol thx

[Hope2009pc]

@ScarFromPast Wow.. that's original.. Moron

[snipethelevi]

Amazing cover, im 16 and much rather listen to classics than modern trash.

[ScalerWave]

@snipethelevi

This tune was one of my favorites at 16 too. The vocal harmonies really grabbed my ear and that guitar riff just sticks in your brain. Thanx for the compliment.

[julianwardguitar]

This is good stuff- I like your sound.

[ScalerWave]

@julianwardguitar

We did want drums but couldn't find a drummer for the collab. Thanx for stopping by.

[Mr5stringBob]

Nice arrangement! Kind of reminds me of something that would be played on the Acoustic Cafe. Very cool.

[ScalerWave]

@Mr5stringBob

Thanks man ! It would be cool to pull this off live. A friend from UK did some drums for it after we posted the video. There's a link to the drum version in the 'more info' box if you wanna give it a listen.

[ScalerWave]

@brandonchasseur2205

Yeah, it'll be 2 years old in few more days... man that went quick. At least my Gilligan's Island video is getting some attention.. heh heh thanks

[SigMarD32]

Instantly added to favourites. Good work!

[ScalerWave]

@SigMarD32

Thank you very much.  Much appreciated.

[scrabblejangzzzzz]

the best(and only) cover I've heard of the song. This is great, but I like the original better.

[ScalerWave]

Thank you. Closest I ever got to seeing them live was in Youtube videos. This is one of those tunes I never get tired of listening to. "Burnin For You" was good too.

I just posted a link to a new live drum version of this mix. It's in the "More Info" box if wanna check it out. A friend in the UK recorded some live drum tracks for it so I mixed them in with these existing tracks.

[Beatbot]

Excellent. How many voice tracks did you record?

[ScalerWave]

Hey thanks...

I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure there are 4.... doubled lead and doubled harmony. The harmony tracks are panned to the sides a bit.

[ScalerWave]

Glad you enjoyed it. It's one of my all time favs.

[TheHeavymetaldevil]

Congratulations to the band for doin' a great job of playing "Don't Fear the Reaper" on the guitar!

[billyspurr]

I gotta fever, and the only cure is more cowbell!!!

[minichico13]

This is perfect but it still needs more cowbell !!!!!!!

[andypanda777]

Needs more cowbell?

[Pokemon4pleasure]

that was perfect

[ScalerWave]

Thank you

[senn416]

That was cool. Love what you did with it!

[ScalerWave]

Thanks....tried to do the lead acoustically but that just wasn't werkin. Had to pull out the electric.

[ScalerWave]

Wow, thanks bud.

What a great compliment.

[sdingeswho]

I'm with the people who think that this is just as good, or better, than BOC's original! Wow! I don't think I've ever heard an (almost) "unplugged" DFtR, but it works amazingly well, and is just *so* clean, production-wise, per usual. Bravo, ScalerWave and Friends! :-)

[d3athlyd4rk]

That was, like, amazing! Great job on that song!

[ScalerWave]

Thanks man. Glad you liked it.

[ScalerWave]

Thank you very much.

[ScalerWave]

Lots of BOC fans I see.

Thanks.

[xxlolxx11]

where did u learn the bass line to this song?

[ScalerWave]

Learned it by ear really. Just start out with A G F and sort of work out the notes in between.

He's just playing a moving pattern mostly.

[DarkMajor806]

whats the tuning for this song?

[ScalerWave]

Normal  E A D G B E

[MOBIUS1107]

I got to have more cowbell

[jrcman]

that was really good, nice job.

[ScalerWave]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[HawtBabeFTW]

wow this is almost like the real deal ! great job! i think this version is better then the original one !

[ScalerWave]

One day I'll have a drum track added...hopefully soon.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[ScalerWave]

Thanks dude, really appreciate it.

[mattv888]

[JetOuterBlack]

Great Cover, nice timing, hugs from mexico

[xenon1987]

Nice! So tempting to put an SNL reference but i'll refrain :)

[ScalerWave]

Hi Xenon,

Thanks for not making a cowbell reference lol
