Pictures of You - The Cure - a slow cover

[mayasmummy]

@rohaihuparaguay Seriously? where the streets have no name... Please? Thank you! Thank god for people like you, your love for music is felt all the way here.

[rohaihuparaguay]

@mayasmummy I already have a Streets cover, pretty old cover and not very good though. love that song. Suggestion #2?

[mayasmummy]

Been listening to your cover for a year now. So beautiful it moves me to tears every time. My favorite song and cover of all time!

[rohaihuparaguay]

@mayasmummy Best comment I have ever received!! As a prize you get to ask for a cover, pick a song and I will try to do a cover. Have not recorded a video in a really long time, so it would be a motivation.

[slovan]

What effects are you using?

[rohaihuparaguay]

@slovan Delay, reverb and an harmonizer with 1 octave up

[MrCustomridez]

good work m8 it was awesome



[rohaihuparaguay]

@MrCustomridez glad you liked it.

[MrCustomridez]

beauty m8 good work



[CEVyNinjeKKt]

I meant to add it pairs well with a nice glass of 181 merlot. Your wife is fucking lucky!! So jealous. Hehe gonna bang this one out on my boyfriend's kb. Cheers!

[rohaihuparaguay]

@CEVyNinjeKKt Wow, ok thanks. I find that when I am in an introspective mood some good quality single malt scotch whisky is much better than wine. Wine just makes me sleepy. A 12 year old Highland Park, a 16 year old Lagavulin, or a Dalmore 15 year old, no ice just a few drops of water. Try it, you won't regret it.

[CEVyNinjeKKt]

I got the body tingles, mate. It's brilliantly haunting. One of my go-to depressingly rainy weather The Cure songs. Well done, mate.

[rohaihuparaguay]

@CEVyNinjeKKt thanks for dropping by.

[EddKonnekshun]

Aahh hey dude, you say my version is better, i beg to differ, i looove this, i'm happy you did it slow too, it works, it's great.

[rohaihuparaguay]

@EddKonnekshun It is also from some time ago. The thing is, I don't try to do it better or perfect, whatever comes out when I play and gets recorded gets posted. This way I think it is closer to how I feel when I play. That is what I like about your version of this song, it is authentic. Keep rocking dude.

[MrLolpop109]

I wanna learn this song now :)

[rohaihuparaguay]

@MrLolpop109 Unless you are using your guitar to crush bugs, there is no reason you couldn't ;-) .... Actually it is an easy song, but a great one nonetheless, you can do it for sure, If I can anybody can too.

[MrLolpop109]

@rohaihuparaguay Lol i'll try :)

[jasdevism]

this is fantastic, just the calm of it. i turn this on, turn off the lights and look at pictures of my girl too (of course its too dark to see he ehhe) but this is so damn good man

[rohaihuparaguay]

@jasdevism Thanks a lot for the comment!! I do love this song.

[Loetrumpet]

hello Friend, do you know what the chords are for the original song?are you from Paraguay? greetings

[rohaihuparaguay]

@Loetrumpet Si, soy Paraguayo, pero vivo en Chicago. No estoy seguro de los acordes, aqui toco punteado y no con acordes. Creo que los acordes basicos serian, por el tono que de esta musica me parece que son basicamente D y A, y en el coro E, D, E, Bm7, A, hacia el final tambien A/C#, y D/F#, por supuesto con variaciones. Pero yo siempre que toco este tema lo hago punteado.

[1172404]

yeah i like u2 it's my favorite band but if you check others like early police or early the cure you can find similar sounds like U2 example: *Saturday night in the part of armonics or the police : truth hits everybody is very similar like U2

[rohaihuparaguay]

@1172404 I play U2 a lot, check my channel, there are a few covers. Just because you commented I will post tonight a llitle U2 meddley

[1172404]

yeah me too this sound has been invented by the edge (U2) and Brian eno if you have the opportunity listen The unforgettable fire album is amazing

[rohaihuparaguay]

@1172404 I know, I am a U2 fan, I got the shimmer effect precisely to emulate edge's sound. And yes, that is an amazing album, you are speaking to the converted ;-)

[1172404]

SHIMMER

[rohaihuparaguay]

@1172404 Yes, you are right, I used a shimmer effect, I love that effect.

[rohaihuparaguay]

@Lamborghini652 Thanks man, I appreciate the comment.

[mouchani]

magnifique ! plannent !!!! *****

[kennymelodica]

Some cure - awesome stuff man

5 stars :D

[rohaihuparaguay]

Not nearly as awesome as you guys, I really lack the comedic genius of your channel...

[manchiloco]

the cure tiene muy buenos temas,muy bien tocado,como siempre le das un toque personal a tus covers,cosa que yo aprecio muchisimo cuando escucho a alguien tocar,me gusta tambien la edicion de tus videos,¿que programa usas? hace rato que vengo buscando programas,que sean practicos y buenos.....

[rohaihuparaguay]

Gracias, lo malo talvez es que nunca termino tocando una cancion de la misma forma dos veces, es un poco impredecible... El programa que uso es iMovie que vino con mi Apple MacBook, Las Mac son muy buenas para edicion grafica y de videos.

[manchiloco]

jaja , para mi eso es justamente lo bueno!!

yo soy igual o peor,nunca me mato por sacar los temas tal como son,me termina aburriendo,y la verdad es que no soy tan bueno para eso,por eso lo hago todo a mi manera,y siempre sale diferente,por eso es mas divertido y sincero,no como ciertos guitarristas reconocidos mundialmente,que tecnicamente son inegables,pero que a mi no me transmiten nada,son notas frias,friamente calculadas
