Wow! Well done man, thats a fantastic cover. It's a tad low for my voice, but I threw up a cover myself if you wanna take a look. Well done again, you have a really soothing, controlled voice.
Then you move up and down the third string, and the chords are barred except for the minor one which is shaped like an Aminor on the bottom three strings. I hope this helps!
hey man, i cover a few songs and i just wanted to let you know i think you did this better than colin hay. have you heard the rocket summer do it? thats who you sounds like its freaking awesome.. props
Hey Benjamin, another great selection! I like the chord progression in this song. It provides interesting movement with great lyrics and your voice of course. I wish I could say that i was familiar with Colin Hay's music prior to this but, well...now I am. Thanks for sharing your talent
excellent cover of an awesome song. I'm very much a beginning guitarist and i played this song for my girlfriend. It was no where near as good your version, but it is still one of my favorite songs to sing and play.
Thanks a lot :) I learned it by ear -- but it's an open-C tuning and most of it is just sliding around on the 3rd string from the lowest. The other chords are just barred since it's open to the chord -- good luck! Post a video of if you learn it :)
actually while open C does work...its actually tuned a little more out there. strings 6-3 are tuned down one full step (EADG down one) then you tune 2(B) up to C and put 1(E) in tune with the 2(C). strings 1 and 2 are in tune to C in diff octaves and you just slide the lead riffs into the normal cords....if you want the link to my tab for this version let me know....the harmonics and octaves come out a lot cleaner
Good job Ben. I'm a big fan of Colins music, and I loved this song long before the Garden State Soundtrack. It's so beautiful, and can you imagine if it was played on adult music stations. I think it'd be huge. Good music lasts, and this song will always be contemporary. Later man, Gary
Brilliant cover.
