(NIN) Johnny Cash - Hurt (12 string acoustic)

[SheesForNoobs]

johnny cash covered NIN not the other way around...

[shaykai]

@SheesForNoobs Yes I know it is a NIN song originally, but the way Johnny cash plays it is very different than the way NIN does. Mine was a cover of Johnny's version, not a cover of NIN's. I know how to play both, but the NIN version uses power chords and different strumming. In essence I was doing a cover of a cover.

[SheesForNoobs]

@shaykai ahhhh kk yeah i misread, anyways its a fucking sick cover!

[Gerdron]

sucks balls. perhaps you should think about putting those little ships in bottles or scrap booking.

[swedishfish36]

You have an amazing deep voice. (: I love this cover, possibly the best I've ever heard.

[harro098765]

Great. The only thing that I could comment on is that you sing it more like the NIN version. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but if I were you, It wouldn't be a JC cover, just a NIN cover. But fantastic video.

[shaykai]

@harro098765 Thank you very much for the compliment :)

[Nohaila2002]

awful

[hollowsraaa]

mowhawk ftw!

[cglrnbl]

Dude quit playing and singing really not good

[TheEmoKittyKatt]

o.O The mind boggles at how amazing this is, more post break up vids, please. That sounds really mean, but the raw emotion you channel into it, is amazing, well done.

[aznbmxer182]

hey great cover man very clean 

[shrimpypunk]

Very good! It's really slow, but that kinda adds emotion to it!

[LoganPfoff2]

Wow... U played that amazingly!! I hope everythings gotten better since then!! Best cover of that song i've heard!!

[shaykai]

@LoganPfoff2 Thanks Logan :) That means a lot when people like my performances. Have a good day!

[katesa12345]

youre amazing

[emilyish013]

this is awesome! i love it, and i love your hair. i may have to cover this...

[shaykai]

@emilyish013 Thanks Emily!

[Tidinrw]

One of the best versions I ever heard! Very emotional!

[shaykai]

@Tidinrw Thanks Tidinrw, I was actually going through a breakup so I was pretty emo at the time haha.

[Joscha10994]

Voll scheiße du Lappen.



[paulcliftonevans]

Excellent cover!

[paulcliftonevans]

Excellent!

[yotefwd]

You play with true feeling.

[tapout111503]

I think it's funny that people talk about NIN and Johnny Cash's version on this song. But I think Sevendust's version beats them both to hell.

[tcwilkin]

@tapout111503 hell yeah it does

[EvilleChelle]

Thank you for sharing, with all the technical advice on here seems there were few that saw past that to the pain and emotion.... *hugs*

[shaykai]

Thanks Chelle :)

[benny2761458]

you need to relax a bit and go easy on the strings and bit more but good cover

[Kaneoism]

singing terrible, guitar better...

[baddudejohn1]

to slow

[nateiscool2]

It's his version he can play it at whatever tempo he wants. I kinda like it a little slower.

[wtf135790]

NICEEEEEEEEEE

[Juicefani11]

I said to myself i should buy a 12-string acoustic Ibanez. I think i will. I already have three guitars, one bass guitar, one mandolin, and three harmonicas.

[shaykai]

What key are your harmonicas in? I have 2 in C, but I think I want a more 'bluesy' sound but I'm not sure what to get. Maybe F?

[Juicefani11]

Two are in C, one in E.

[K100Gimpy]

ummm johnny cash covered nine inch nails version, so you've got it backwards

[andrizzle29]

the twelve string makes this sound sweet

[JohnNemiroff]

very nice

[lewisj8]

[truenorther]

[truenorther]

[truenorther]

I'm one of the people that lost my team, the Expos, I like your music...

[truenorther]

Tou'll only ever understand that as a baseball fan...

[shaykai]

I'm in San Jose, CA :D

[catseatingclouds]

i played a 12 for the first time today, and it was almost impossible...

[soggytoast89]

damb good bro damb good

[Allan454]

[KonstantinKuehn]

hey man i totally agree with everyone here about the song u did awesome! and id like to add that u could really hear the passion in ur voice which really made it a joy to listen too. u really got into it and rock it! in my opinion if ur not a passionate musician u wont get anywhere! so u really did awesome! screw those dudes that rejected ur singing for the band... haha u could join my shitty garage band if u want haha. u would definitely sound better than any of us!! good job

[shaykai]

[shaykai]

Thanks :) I actually tried out for a band a few weeks ago for the lead singer position but I wasn't good enough haha. I definitely want to try and play in a band in the near future though.

Ben

[PandaManYZR]

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Your a very impressive person.

[shaykai]

Thank you very much Panda :)

[jimmyischill5790]

[shaykai]

Ben

[wbwillie]

[NebrodGameplay]

Great Great Great

[Sandman267]

Goodjob! :)

Really enjoyed listening (I turned metallica off for a minute :P)

But, you'll have to promise us that the 3-day fast will get some huuuge edit :P

[shaykai]

Haha it really does need a pretty big edit. It could probably be in 1 video if I wasn't so lazy lol.

[peacemaker281]

Great job and awesome song this version Cash did is a favorite of mine. This song also made me pick up the guitar again and learn it. There's a hole bunch of Cash songs that are awesome eg "man comes around, personal Jesus and rusty cage.

[pelsallcat]

that was excellent ! one of my favourite johnny cash songs .

[piperlady56]

Very nice, get your hard drive backed up fast before you lose all your work.

[usamanta]

To be honest I didn't expect that much, but you were good! I am glad you did not shame the song:)

Peace out

[kenshin715]
