nice cover. great guitar skills and voice. i mean better then what i can do. with that said, i want to say that a way to improve this great vid already is to slow down the strum and also focus on the timing of the verses. after that, it will be an epic cover. thats just my opinion though. do what you want.
tip: get in the habit to use your index finger to push up against the low E string to mute it out. doesn't sound good when you strum that for the b flat minor for example, or any other minor barre chords on the fifth string
i'm still trying to learn the guitar part and unfortunately, i make it sound like a cat dying :( i know the chords but where did you find the strumming pattern?
@snowflakeFactory - shut YOUR face YOU stupid dickhead,... go rape YOUR dog in the arse, i dont know if YOU have ever noticed but people use abbreviations on the net, YOU fucken dickhead
@godisnotreal666 "Shut" is capitalized. "You" should not be capitalized. No comma then excesive periods. "Go" is capitalized. Period after "arse." "I" is capitalized. "Don't" has an apostraphe between the N and the T. "Fucken" is spelt "fuckin'."
my advice: practise with a metronome with no voice about fifty times to get your timing down, then sing it while playing. it'll be a night and day difference
oh, i forgot to mention, tap your left foot with the downbeat of the metronome until it becomes an intrinsic clock. practice like this and i'll gauran-damn-tee you you'll never be behind or in front of the drummer
For example in this video, he changes and misses time a few times, but as he stated this is just a cover for a friend learning the song, he wasn't aiming for a perfect recording.
sorry dude. but this cover is definitely not worth the rating you get, but hey. anyone that sings and plays guitar on youtube gets 4 stars no matter how good or bad it actually is.
Ok, time for my comment. You can obviously play the song through which is great, but I noticed when your singing your focusing on the chord change and so your voice follows giving it a forced sound. Just sing the song and play it without thinking about it, your hands will do their thing without your focus. Other than that good job and keep up the good work.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I see i'm a begative bastard huh? You know, a lot of people do post comments probaly wishing they were as good as someone, luckily for me, i am someone, and someone kind of important. Unfortunetly, you will not get to know that, and not everyone who goes on youtube is a no one.
The reason the guitar sounds off is because the chords are supposed to be barred...they are just power chords, they are made out to be more complicated than they are here. But thats ok, thats why its a cover, you do it how youd like.
Opps didn't know it was a year old. The reason why i said it was so bad and none of you even noticed, is cause he didn't even play the chours at any time. And ya right i wish i was as good as him lmao, i have 6 bands, a promotion company and starting an indie lable, you kids gotto watch who you're dissing on here.
The guitar was pretty, bad, actually, really bad for such a simple ass song. I can play this song with my eyes closed and fuckin two chicks. But your voice is amazing.
Well, that's not nice. But I agree, the guitar playing needs help. Looks like you posted it a year ago. I'm sure you've gotten better if you practiced. But really, you're a good singer. And THAT'S harder than playing any dumb old power chords alone in your room like josh "like a virgin" qu anyway. keep it up! Don't let the begative bastards discourage you. they wish they were as good as you.
Just because he played it differently doesn't mean he sucks. He just put his own spin on it, it would be douchey if every single cover sounded exactly like the original song
haha, dude i used to play this song a TON and when i started out i did the same thing u did...when ur singin the verse u want the singin to be a little ahead of the guitar, not right on. it seems like ur waitong for the strum of the chord to say the line. good song tho, and good job playin it. tunings a lil off too...or maybe ur just pushing those strings too hard into the frets and makin em bend, watch out for that.
nirv is completely right. i was wondering why it sounded off to me... the way you're doing it makes it sound... i dunno... organized? even? those are two nice ways to put it i think. but good job.
Yeah, after practicing for a week, I finally got the hang of it and my wrists don't tire as easyly... good cover Stephenitis... you should post a cover of another 'easy' song... Chasing Cars comes to mind :)
good cover. I am still learning guitar. you make it look so easy to play. when i try it my left wrist is killing me half way through the song. watching Gavin play this song his hand placement is different then yours. Is it easier to play on electric or accoustic?

EvilHoTepp 5 years ago
To make the song sound right you need to either palm mute with your right hand or "pulsate" with your left hand.
When I first started playing my wrist/hand would tire out quickly as well, just stick with it for a week+
It's easier to play on electric b/c the tension is lower, but acoustics are easier to lug around!
I think i reached my 500character limit; I'm thinking of putting a nirvana song up, they're straight forward and easy to learn.
