FRESHMEN -COVER,THE VERVEPIPE

[Azkin2000]

great work buddy. your intro is in time but once you break out to playing only chords you open up the "DRS" your flying at speeds this song is not capable of maintaining, great work but stay constant...

[tysoncbeaumont]

At least put up some new tp for your video haha but seriously good s*** man!

[peachy1427]

great song and a great guitar player with great guitar too! GREAT!! lol

seriously, i like this song and much more in your version...post more

[kurtcommon]

Great job!

[MAKESOMENOISEplz]

Awesome cover :) But a tips, change the name of the video to something that's more normal. Like "The Freshmen - The Vervepipe (cover)" r something. It will attract some more attention.

lolz sry for bad english

[wannafightfires]

Great Cover

[afhevh]

out of toliet paper, better hope the next person that has to take a shit can find the new roll

[Helldevil88]

Hi, great cover. I try to play and sing it myself, but singing is much more difficult than playing^^ But you helped me with the cord changes, especially in the end of the chorus. BTW I playing the version from Zach Myers, just search it, I cannot post the link here

[ydoucare38]

awesome i really liked it, it was different then the original but different isnt a bad thing i actually liked this alot and the voice/strumming patterns were cool, but why does everyone record vids in their bathrooms?????

[blondscoresagain]

i like the song faster..and u have a nice voice.

[venndetta22]

nice is that a Gibson?

[SMITTYkingston]

thanx and yeah it's a Gibson J-30 i bought new in 1994 my favorite acoustic then my 1978 Martin D-28 Then my Blueridge....

[venndetta22]

lucky iv been playing guitar for about 3 years now and i cant afford a gibson or a martin but i do have a Epiphone EJ-200

[goodninjapaul]

You have a fantastic voice for this song, but you speak too quickly. The song revolves around the pain and lingering regret of the singer- you don't give enough time for your singing to sink into the listener, despite the emotion in your voice. As a result, even though your voice and beat are impeccable, it's not -quite- up to task with the original. I love this, though- please, do this again but slower!

[SMITTYkingston]

hi there actually i re did a version a long time ago check it out

[Nicolecl3rc]

good voice, little faster then original but i like it. good job on this one

[mam13662]

i thouroughly enjoyed this cover. thanks so much for sharing your music with us =]

[SeminoleMarine]

Great cover. You have a good voice. I like that it was faster than the original.

BTW, you're out of TP........ ; )

[iamsamrt]

[complexmincl]

Nice to see a version not using the Capo on the 2nd fret. Sounds great!

[gigglestick68]

sounds good dude but the whole bathroom thing thats weird well atleast you not playing on the can lol

[volsungdrums]

the bathroom is the best place to play, especially when recording. acoustics!

[SgtSnausages]

Lotsa "natural" reverb bouncing off all that tile and porcelain.

[liznic123]

Soooo GOod!

[buffalosabres616161]

[litosesa5]

[kjtiller09]

[sealink44]

[nathan4288]

[akona4]

[boulderboy1]

[bryguy07]

Great voice man, all you need now is a capo on that second fret (This me not acting like im the shit at guitar just sayin thats how he plays it.)

[FightingNB]

[russdawgusmc]

One of the best Verve Pipe "Freshman" covers... Nice!

[naftakaa]

you need to replace your toilet paper...but sounds great :D

[dnarbbrand]

Not really the kind of thing i listen to normally but well crafted and I quite liked it

all the best

[helobelow]

Not bad, not bad at all dude. Great natural reverb in the bathroom. I used to write songs sitting on the edge of the tub too! Classic!

[kendrasumner]

Very smart to this in a bathroom, The walls are live. so you get good reverb. My fav song and you rocked it. Good Job. :)

[chilitodd]

[PewLaserBear]

I'm in my first year playing guitar, going pretty well I guess, I'd like to learn this song, so if you could post the chords, I would be glad , thank you :)

[ehp7]

[SMITTYkingston]

[mdshunk]

Just thought you should know that your toilet paper holder is empty.

[SMITTYkingston]

hahahah thnx

[ranmaz]

LOL!!!

[wearnem]

Like some of the other viewers / listeners noted, the setting is a little distracting - at first. But your raw vocal and guitar work adds an intensity that most cover versions don't quite match. Very impressive.

[SMITTYkingston]

i know but it just sounds so good in here,,,lol

[evanlat3826]

why are you in the bathroom

[SMITTYkingston]

because acousticly it is the best sounding room in any house...

[sunismagic]

this sucks!--I just tried learning thus song dude---and you just broke my confidence--seriously great job man--perhaps it will inspire me to do better-5 stars from me-thanks

[SMITTYkingston]

hey,,haha not sure what to say first couple words i thought you were saying i sucked haha... and if my playin inspires you then that makes me smile..thnx..

[irishbai]

Awsome smitty, keep plugging!!!!!!!!1

[pelipocha]

omg o.o we have the same taste in music!

[Jst0911]

bathroom really is the best sounding acoustics in a house, however ive got a closed in porch which is sweet

[SMITTYkingston]

lol....but no tile walls im guessin hahah..... i wish i had the gear or knowledge to plug right into the camera and get the best sound...

[SMITTYkingston]

well it is the bathroom and it is the best sounding room in the house...haha so im keepin it ...lol

[HemiolaGnome]

HAHA, love that you're out of TP :P

[SMITTYkingston]

hahahah.....

[Malvasio]

[SMITTYkingston]

thnx...

[frizzlegrizz]

Awesome cover Smitty.

What's more awesome is that shower curtain ;)

[SMITTYkingston]

[coolstix29]

very nice

[laurny29]

wicked job love this song...

[hodgins]

one of first songs i learned on acoustic

[BlankNotebookPage]

Excellent job, one recommendation:

The Freshmen - The Verve Pipe (Cover)

Verve Pipe - The Freshmen (Acoustic Cover)

use one or the other, acoustic cover or cover

you'll get the hang of it soon my friend ;), look at what other people do who have tons of views and copy them
