[jupiterattraction]

GOOD JOB

[MegaLuke01]

nice gutar, terrible voice. As bad as my spelling! Good luck with the make up dude!

[lexiiii3333]

Good job on the guitar,

but you sang words wrong!!!!

[Distrukkt]

Get a haircut you freak. Way to butcher a good song.

[Xephon212]

Great thanks! Loved this performance of Exploding Boy.

[jjavelar]

What is the chord progression for the verse and chorus?

[ajtleitmotif]

@jjavelar It depends on the key. The Cure have recorded and released at least two versions of the song which are in different keys.

The key I do it in is DbMAJ, which is different to either of The Cure's originals.

The chords are:

DbMAJ, Fmi, AbMAJ, AbMAJ

Bbmi, AbMAJ, Bbmi, AbMAJ, Bbmi, AbMAJ, GbMAJ, GbMAJ

In a DMAJ key (more appropriate to normal guitar tuning):

DMAJ, F#mi, AMAJ, AMAJ

Bmi, AMAJ, Bmi, AMAJ, Bmi, AMAJ, GMAJ, GMAJ

Simple, huh?

Thanks for commenting.

[WilliamVermillion]

does he have to use the rest room, if so maybe he should have done that before attempting this song and while he was in the bathroom he coulda washed that stupid face off of his stupid face

[Jesuistouche]

Im actually surprised. Usually guys doing covers like this suck but he's pretty good. I like his voice. If he had a studio he'd rock.

[ajtleitmotif]

Thank you for commenting.

For the record, I *do* have a studio. Listen to my original, studio-recorded works at the website listed on my Channel.

Thanks again.

[huhtty]

ur a big time wanna be robert smith

[ajtleitmotif]

Yeah. RS is a god. But he's one of several influences in terms of both the image and vocal sound. I'm a big time wannabe X Y and Z too, which would include Marc Bolan and Syd Barrett among others. :-)

[Xephon212]

@huhtty Everyone has influences.

[GingerRaven]

This is f**king brilliant. I love that you chose a lesser known song to cover.

[DragonfireJason]

An awesome song by The Cure, who are obviously a big influence on you. Like it.

[SammyPinkEmo]

This is my favourite song from the Join the Dots box set. I love your version. And I love the pink/purple hair, too! :-) You're like the illicit offspring of Robert Smith and Marc Bolan (both of whom are/were gods IMO) :-)

I cried when I first heard this song some twenty-plus years ago. I like your cover. Thanks for sharing. By any chance, could you, pretty please, share us with the chords for this song? Thanks a bunch!

Thanks, ajleitmotif. Much appreciated.

I'll try out the chords you provided. Do you also do any requests? If so, I'd love to hear your cover of "six different ways"?

Hope all is well, and have fun playing.

[ajtleitmotif]

Why did YouTube not point this reply out to me before? Sorry.

Yes, when I next do an unplugged cover I'll try to do Six Different Ways. :-)

[ajtleitmotif]

Please share, repost, embed, etc this video.

I very much encourage and appreciate it. Thanks! :-)
