Working Class Hero--John Lennon

[alfalhomi]

I really liked your cover of the song. At first I though that your voice was kind of nasaly and annoying, but it eventually grew on me and I realized that it was more of a somber voice to a somber song. You did a great job and your lessons are a huge help.

Thanks.

im sry its just you have to have feeling its not just a song u also played it wrong and screamed ...

[lacroixfind]

im sorry i think is not a good cover you need more feeling in guitar and a better voice

[mauranius]

I noticed that the rhythm is very hard to find since 7/8 rhythm is not normally used, still on some points a few false notes, but otherwise, nice job!

[nthviking]

thanks man!

[virgonomic]

James, 4/4 time is definitely wrong. Have you tried playing along with the song to get the rhythm right? It's definitely in 3/4 as others suggested in the learning video.

[jamesblackburnlynch]

It's actually in 7/8. But we don't really have to argue theory, just listen to it and play it the way it seems right. Unless you're doing a study or something, but that's not what I'm after.

awesome ur good :)

[nevermore93]

i found a screw up! you say "till the pain is so huge you feel nothing at all" its "till the pain is so BIG" other than that, good job

[Cheapskate23]

[inu456]

[greenb0y]

[MadManxPerson]

Don't give up the day job

[jamesblackburnlynch]

What makes you think I have a day job?

[MadManxPerson]

Its just a hunch James

[MadManxPerson]

I am lost for words lol

[guitarboy32]

killed it

[XXxXxXchazzieXxXxXX]

i like this, youve taken a great song and made it your own, much better then totally copying the original. love it x

[jamesblackburnlynch]

Thanks! That's very high praise indeed. I wish it were intentional. I really did try to play it pretty faithful, but I can only do what my ear allows. I did leave out the verses I don't really care for as much.

[XXxXxXchazzieXxXxXX]

fair enough !

and abuse sucks tbh, ignore it. you're good !

[upongod]

dude its not a country side song change your voice or something eurk

[jamesblackburnlynch]

Haven't a clue what you're talking about. Not sure what a "country side" song is nor do I know what "eurk" is. Not much I can do about my voice, regardless. Thanks for the concern.

[JimiHendrix574]

HAHA lol that was funny. Good one

[Tajuara]

what in the hell was that???

[potsnacher]

I think he you sound like Mr. Bean

[wakinglifeinc]

LOL!! Sooo true!!

[JTLarkin]

I think you sound like Kermit the Frog

[jamesblackburnlynch]

Maybe I should try "The Rainbow Connection" next then.

[wakinglifeinc]

omg that was the funniest thing i've read in a while

[Purnin]

Oooh it makes a lot more sense seeing it done. I'm going to work hard and learn this one now. (I'm a total guitar newbie, hehe)

[jamesblackburnlynch]

Have you watched the lesson I posted or just me playing it? My hope is that the lesson will help newbies.

[Jabberwocky72]

Great job man, big fan of the song and really enjoyed the video.

[Jabberwocky72]

Great job man, big fan of the song and really enjoyed the video.

[wburnlynch]

Thanks! Do you play it?

[Jabberwocky72]

I do now =) Well, I still have to work out the rhythm a bit but your video was extremely helpful. I'll be practicing it regularly til I get it down. Your instructional video's are great man, you take the time to explain little details that can make or break the song.

[ec12087]

great song. Lets do it next!

[fopstra]

great playing, like it very much, it's real, the man is in pain, help, ok, what's wrong, good singing, help, fuck 8 peasants as far as i can be, see?? well who knows, just follow me, klakless and free, oh man..

[DJthestreetracer]

Good guitar skills. =3

But, Lightning McQueen car, what do you mean by that?

[jamesblackburnlynch]

Well, I was just kidding, but I was saying that whoever spots the most errors (wrong notes, bad timing, etc.) wins the car. I could be convinced that it isn't a joke.
