Bodysnatchers - Radiohead Cover

[jessicacn218]

good job dude,That was great ^ ^

[caseycurran]

@jessicacn218 Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[Frankielandia]

drop D and make kgkgkgkgkg(like scratching?) and thats it.. a question, did tu work that tele? i have the same, but a put the hambucker in the front, i mean, where the coil its.. and now im worried.. nice cover!

[caseycurran]

@Frankielandia I don't quite understand your question but the guitar is stock I didn't build/modify it. But the pickups are different output and the humbucker/coil tap should definitely be in the bridge position.

[antigrav118]

@Frankielandia are you on crack?

[Frankielandia]

@antigrav118 not at all, i just dont know how to explain this in english languaje.. my english its no good.. i´d like to see you writing one sentence en español, ignorante, date cuenta que hay gente no sabe ingles, respetuosamente intente comentar algo, no pude explicar y me decis que ando de crack?.. se ve que la idiotez es internacional. ".. in spanish languaje ignorant, dont you realize that there is people that cant speak english? i came with respect to make a comment and ask you somethin..

[boondockscar]

Awesome! I really wish I could play like that!

[caseycurran]

@boondockscar Thank you. This was a pretty rough take when I was fairly new to guitar so I'm sure you will be able to surpass this if you keep playing guitar.

[mjknlr]

You're starting the upward arpeggio's one single note early -- after the initial F#-G-A, there should be one thrown away strum, which leads to the CDGACD riff.

[caseycurran]

@mjknlr Thanks for the constructive advice. I was pretty new to guitar and this song when I posted this so there's a lot of mistakes. However I now play the muted strum you talk about at the end of the riff. Still not sure if that's 100% accurate but it seems to sync up with the song and I've seen Thom Yorke play it that way too, Although I've seen many interpretations of this song even by Radiohead and they all sound pretty good. Except for this one ; )

[mjknlr]

@caseycurran Haha yeah I just learned this one and I'm OBSESSED with it now. I have plenty of reasons to switch back to normal tuning (which is a pain in the ass with a locked trem) but I don't want to because I love this one so much...

[Leonelstudios27]

cool mustache dude

[caseycurran]

@Leonelstudios27 Thanks. I think my moustache got more positive comments than my playing on this one.

[BELL12366]

cool

[caseycurran]

@BELL12366 Thanks for the compliments. And if you didn't live half way around the world you'd be welcome to collaborate and come up with some vocals for my originals (not my strong point). Your original stuff has a dark/edgy/experimental sound as well - nice.

[BELL12366]

@caseycurran thx. it is a shame the distance really ....well ur welcome to visit my channel any time im glad u liked it :)

[dustinodell1]

Good cover! I don't know HOW you hold the pick like that, but Kudos to you!

[caseycurran]

@dustinodell1 Yeah I didn't think I held it weird until everyone started commenting on it. It seems to be mostly when I'm playing while sitting down but I might have to address that if it's detrimental in any way.

[hiney2002]

really good ,now sing:)

[caseycurran]

@hiney2002 Thanks... and believe me you don't want to hear me sing. I tried recording some vocals recently and it was brutal, let alone trying to play guitar at the same time.

[ajarroyave]

@caseycurran i always try and sing nude.....the song nude.. and whenever i record it and listen back to it i always just shatter my dreams. i just do it hoping that miraculously my voice has changed since the last time, but it never does. which is why i learned to play guitar.

[bbshooter1221]

from 2:07 to 3:10 thom uses the clean channel.....

[caseycurran]

Yeah I know. He's turning off the the distortion from his pedal. I played this through a single channel amp using the amps distortion so it didn't make sense to stop and adjust the amp and then reset it for the end of the song.

[danakerman]

@caseycurran On the album it's not even an electric guitar -- he plays that section on his acoustic. Live, that obviously has to be a bit different

[caseycurran]

@danakerman I've since found out that he uses a Pro Co Rat for the distortion and live he just clicks it off to play clean during the bridge. I actually own that pedal now and may re-post this to be a little more authentic.

[Murgroena]

You stress between the notes a bit too much, and add more vibrato to your notes.

[fabianpalmerin]

great !!!

[lufc550]

Nice tele plus, they're pretty hard to come around.

[caseycurran]

@lufc550 Thanks and yes I was quite happy to track one down close to home.

[cruzer619]

@ perillah1 ..try not sucking on lemons when you first wake-up!Great job..Casey

[caseycurran]

@cruzer619 As it turns out, he's actually write about the rhythm being off in parts. But thanks for the vote of confidence.

[perillah1]

you know the part, but your rythem is a little off at times. and you hold the pick like somebody with polio

[caseycurran]

@perillah1 Haha. Thanks for the early diagnosis.

[MeMyselfThatGuyAndMe]

the first to phrases you play are kinda off in their rythm but other than that you nailed it

[caseycurran]

@MeMyselfThatGuyAndMe I hear some off parts throughout the song, but thanks for the feedback.

[psycolist]

good job mate!

now try it while singing..........with your eyes closed :-)

[caseycurran]

@psycolist Thanks. I guess that would make it an official "Thom Yorke style" cover.

[danakerman]

@psycolist And moving your head about furiously like a bobble-head

[Jimbo930]

awesome cover man, great rthym!

[caseycurran]

@Jimbo930 Thanks. I actually thought the timing is still kind of off.

I thought you nailed the lead guitar part in your video. I think we are some of the lucky few that can play Radiohead covers with a Tele Plus!

[dadada18244]

i like the way you play it man! =)

[caseycurran]

@dadada18244 Thanks. It would be even better if it was in time ; )

[mjwaagner]

nice, but you should have more distortion on the end

besides, that was an awesome cover

[caseycurran]

Thanks. I was trying to get a good amount of overdrive but not too much for playing rhythm. I used my AC15, driven to the max and wanted to see how that sounded. But yeah kicking in a distortion pedal at the end would have been nice.

[reusablecatmilk]

LOLOL yeah if a white guy could ever look like snoop dog that'd be you. excellent cover i liked how you played it

[caseycurran]

Thanks. Haha...I can't believe there are now 2 people who think I look like a white Snoop Dog.

[fuck3boom]

Make that three.

[Jikel7Bob224]

hahah does anyone think this guy kinda looks like snoop dogg? lawl anyway nice cover- it seems you improvised a bit towards the end but it sounded good

[caseycurran]

Heh, I don't think anyone will ever confuse me for Snoop Dogg. Although I used to get a lot of Jesus comments.

Glad you enjoyed the cover. The end was based on an early version that Jonny used to play live (or at least what it looked like he was playing).

[JorAtGuitar]

You hold the pick in a very peculiar way :)

Nice cover.

[caseycurran]

I didn't realize that before I watched this video myself...but thanks.

[geo1890]

what kind of effect are you using?

crunch?

[caseycurran]

No effect. The volume on the Top Boost of my Vox AC 15 is maxed allowing the amp to overdrive at low volume.

[cameronCLAM]

Cover???????

[Gustavorosales]

Those aren´t the correct cords (especially in the end).....try to watch them live on you tube.... Keep Walking! Nice try!

[caseycurran]

The chords used are a combination of a really accurate tutorial on youtube and watching their "In the Basement" performance.

I know the lead part at the end is a bit off. It's from an early live version of the song before the album came out and I never got around to revising it.

[Amnesiac18]

please--- can you tell me the exact name of your guitar model??? I wanna buy it... Is it the same Jonny Greenwood uses??

[Davination]

It is the same series (Fender Telecaster Plus), however his colour is different. Jonny has a Sunburst, this is some sort of red-ish colour. Otherwise, the guitar (pickups, fretboard), is the same. The Fender Telecaster Plus' are hard to come buy, as they were stopped being produced years ago. I wanted to buy one on eBay, which they can run for about $1000,

[oldtaco]

That was very good! I just started playing this song less then a week ago, scanning though sites for tabs but your the first YouTube video I seen and its impressive. Thanks for sharing!

[caseycurran]

Glad you liked it. If you're looking for a good cover, the chords in this are pretty much bang on, just timing is a bit off. Check out warrenmusic tutorials for Radiohead songs. He's the best I've seen on youtube.

[oldtaco]

I just watched several of warrenmusic's videos and his videos are VERY helpful, thanks!

[greattrash]

i want that guitar ! xD

[hernandeznathan50]

That is cool that did Thom Yorke part on the slow part! You nailed it!

[caseycurran]

Thanks. Timing was a bit off though.

I actually watched a live performance on youtube and copied the chord shapes Thom uses. So it should be exact.

[geridg]

bit more distortion, but nice job!

[caseycurran]

Thanks. Couldn't figure out how Thom gets that crunch for the rhythm. I think he's using an SG in the neck position and possibly a Pro Co Rat distortion pedal which sounds very similar. This is just my AC15 on max overdrive.

[geridg]

ya. He does use a very cool vintage SG on the Scotchmist recordings. Ya got me as far as the pedal. Could be any number of models. Love the Tele, but I think I'd rather keep the classic singlecoil Bridge pickup on the Tele, and put the humbucker in the neck. I'll have to try your model out sometime. I'm a lefty though, and they are hard to find in guitar stores, if not impossible.

[caseycurran]

You'd have to find a right on Craigslist or Ebay and convert it. Lace Sensors are pretty full sounding and I think would be a bit two much having a humbucker in the neck. I always liked it in the bridge as I find standard Tele's a bit thin and twangy.

[PopExpo]

telecaster plus!!!! i can't find any of those here in WAshington state.

[hohvuh]

muy bueno loco .. i am argentina.. good very good

[caseycurran]

Muchos gracias.

[caseycurran]

Thanks.

[diablement]

Great

[radioivan18]

wow dude you play it very great. i like your style. and about your tele, damn is sick¡¡ just like jonny greenwood's one, but greenwood`s guitar sunburst is diferennt. sorry, my english is bad. jjee.

[caseycurran]

Thanks.

[dustin11]

I love that amp. I just bought a Scumnico to replace the Wharfdale, a worthwhile investment.

How do you like the overdriven tones on this amp?

Active pickups?? :(

[caseycurran]

I love the overdriven tones. That's why I bought it. Nothing like that UK overdriven sound - not clean not saturated, just right. Mine has the blue Alnico.

Passive. Lace Sensors are pretty unique pickups if you actually read up on them and see what makes them tick.

[dustin11]

I thought they were EMG's.

I like Lace's. I have a red, blue and silver in my strat.

[caseycurran]

Tele Plus' of the early 90's have 1 blue in the neck and 2 red in the bridge. Great for getting that Tele tone without too much country twang.

[NikoGot]

and what kind of Telecaster is that?

[oglockwood]

look in the video description

good job by the way

[NikoGot]

are those blue lace sensors?

[prippropro]

strange way to hold the pick..anyway nice playing, taste and guitar! :D

[FakePlasticTree225]

Good job man. just got my own tele and trying to learn this great song!

[caseycurran]

Thanks. The more I watch it the worse it looks to me. Still have to work on the timing. Enjoy your Tele, they're awesome guitars.
