Tea Party Medley (The Badger/Winter Solstice)

[malcyj56]

Very very cool. I like what you did there fella!! I've only just yesterday heard of these guys, and just started really digging what they do. I can't help but hear heaps of Led Zep in this piece, but WOW! And you do it sooooooooooooooo well!!!

[chsfootballchica2009]

phenominal! absolutely amaziing <3

[MeneerJose]

Great!!! And fuck off all the disrespectful comments!!

[killask8er]

Absolutely phenomenal. I love it

[2182248]

This cover is not note for note as Tea Party originally performed it - and all the better for it, nice to see someone else's take on a song.

If anybody wants to see and hear exactly how it is performed by Tea Party I suggest they watch Tea Party - they do it really well.

Great job and excellent recording quality as well.

[waytowastetime]

dude, for real bro. I'd like to hear that song on a fully set up digital LP in a studio or somethin. Insane.

[bookkeeper57]

Very very good cover!

[benpilsener]

Great !!! good job :)

[j6767]

hey, i enjoyed that

[steeler72491]

that was a great cover, i loved it

5 * =] keep it up

[ecfan33]

I had no idea this song could sound so good on six strings. Your recording set up is great, I don't think I've heard a cover of this song recorded so clearly. Great job!

[bvanderpryt]

Hey Thanks ecfan33. It's great to hear a positive compliment like yours (rather than "Uh...you didn't play it note for note exactly the same as the Tea Party").

[Dakhota]

@bvanderpryt : This was awesome! WOW!!!!!!! Great job! You are amazing!

[Dakhota]

@bvanderpryt : This was amazing! Great job! loved it!

[bvanderpryt]

My 314 is about 8 years old....long before the Expression system existed. It has a Fishman preamp.

Buy the guitar. You won't be disappointed. I have many guitars, and the only one I can say with 100% confidence that I will never sell is my Taylor.

[LazyCoconutz]

GREAT JOB!!! I noticed that your 314ce does not have the Taylor Expression System, is that an older model? I am thinking about buying that guitar and was wondering why some came with different pickups than others

[bickmore1979]

Be this perfect or not, and as a person simply listening to this for what it is,not knowing any history on the piece or anything about it....its simply bloody brilliant, why knock someone for such talents...Top job mate.

[Jumzoid]

Good job bro - you must enjoy playin that song alot. One of my favorites.

[bvanderpryt]

Sorry remnany4J...I haven't checked comments here in a while. I did use a Studio Project C1 with VTB-1 preamp. I recorded it in stereo with the Fishman preamp as the other channel.

[ThreeWastedMen]

man that was slick and pro...bow to the chosen one all ye mortals!!

[remnant4J]

what mic did you use? studio project?

[superrps]

Excellent rendition! Even original artists change the presentation/performance of their own work. Keep playin' in your own style and let the nay sayers continue to be green with envy.

[mathisto21]

good effort but why put something on youtube unless you have it perfect...which this is NOT!

[bvanderpryt]

You know, I've had a lot of people criticize this video because it is not technically perfect. The version I do is something I learned on my own, 15 years ago from the indie Tea Party album (long before tabs were available on the internet). I've just always played it the same way. The last thing I ever want to do with any cover song I ever play is to try to sound exactly like the original. What's the point?

[omsivoham]

it's great what you do, a nice hommage to a great band, and probably great to play, not?

[telavivo]

@bvanderpryt yeah man i agree, and that was well said. playing a lot of this stuff myself i feel that you never make a song as good as the original if you go for 100% copy. You definatly bring you own style and feel to this song which is awesome. great job man

[Elias5Barnes]

Pretty good dude! Rock on! Thanks for posting this man!

[HillsideStrangler469]

cheated on a few parts, but not bad.

totally neglecting the open low C at the part where it slows down, but again, pretty good.

[dudejummo]

hey, can u plz tell me if this is standard tuning or wutever tuning it is?

[bvanderpryt]

The tuning I use (from low to high) is CGCGCE. I believe The Tea Party use CGCGCD, but I prefer to have all the strings open be a C chord.

Cheers,

Brian

[dudejummo]

thnx alot!! and great playin btw, keep it up

[xFlamingxGoochx]

o i thought they use DADGAD tuneing...

[bvanderpryt]

The original is definetely in C.

[theoriginalogre]

The Bagder is in DADGAD. Winter Solstice is CGCGCE.

[100013894]

not bad. dynamics could be improved, but i'm being 'picky.'

[britishbandit1981]

YAY!! So glad you posted that, you know that's always a request of mine when I come out to see ya! :D Awesome stuff man!

[skyconcurer]

I must say that is some good stuff. Those are two of my fav tea party songs. Now I must learn winter solstice
