Have You Forgotten Red House Painters - Cover by Meg Clark

[legend232]

Actually, you said you played this in drop open D tuning, but the note you played right at the start is a C. What is the actual tuning?

[dadygee]

still like your version as i like life :)

[Rifleman113]

[torres3051]

This is so awesome! I never really bother to comment on videos but this totally deserved it!! You're amazing! I love the guitar work, it gives me chills! And your voice is so present..I really like this cover!

[ChocolateExplosion]

[omfgitsparis]

Wow. You have a presence about you that is stunning. You are very gifted. Your ability on the guitar must be natural for you. Thank you for sharing. :)

[Peonattack]

I like you.

[mikegurnham]

Wow that was awesome! Better than my version. Mark Kozelek is amazing, he would probably love your cover. Great work.

[Thanatosse]

Excellent deep sounding guitar technique

[hamogirl3]

Wherever you are in the world you NEED to be on IDOL - the world deserves to hear you.

[TubeKaiser23]

Hi Meg. That was really beautiful & sweet. Where do you live/where are you roaming now? I'd like to meet you or just talk with you. I live just south of LA & just started playing the guitar.

[chaserydoo]

well done!

[hai2you2]

Ya I have the other version (faster) tabbed but could never figure out this version which is the slower version, well its really your version but RHP had two versions. If you have the tab that would be awesome.

[dadygee]

[diemilchstrasse]

@Megster156 so where's the tab?

[legend232]

@Megster156 Do that please! For the love of god do that...

[ShorTyler]

Whenever I can't get to sleep because my mind is racing, I try to find a comforting song that will help settle it back down. For the past 3-4 months, this cover has been it. Just wanted to say thanks, and keep it up.

[Megster156]

Thanks, that's a really nice complement! I do the same thing.

[1yellafella]

what sort of guitar is that? it sounds expensive

[Megster156]

An Alvarez, a cheep one I found at a pawn shop...

[xxxxxxJSxxxxxx]

Beautifull voice, Beautifull song, one of my favourite vids on youtube. x

[aroundme]

wow... very good, beautiful interpretation...!!!

[edgeofday]

Ahh! Your cover of this song is SOO fabulous! You've made it into something of your own and managed to refine the magic of the original. Lovely!! ...and thanks for your comments! :-)

[mandude83]

You done my favourite song of all time huge justice, 5 stars x

[RobMD29]

AGGH tell me this tuning... need to learn this version!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Megster156]

I was walking in Beijing earlier today and started thinking of this song. This cover doesn't do it justice! Walking in China and listening to Mark Kozelek was a cool experience. This song keeps growing with me as I move around the world, looking for home. It's comforting.

[zipp193]

u r so amazing in everyway :)

[amorously]

this is an absolutely gorgeous cover :]

[stevin76]

amazing! :)

[lovewontchange]

wah, you have such a beautiful voice. wonderful cover. :]

[TEW1157]

are you kidding me? Thats awesome. RHP are awesome. I would marry that girl on the spot if she played that for me. Nice voice.

[squonkness]

I do a really good version of this on the spoons ;O))

[TheMestUp]

meg you have a beautiful voice.

[coche111]

revitalizing!

[Shantilou]

great cover! lovely singing and picking.

[thisfirrre]

your cover of this tremendous song is absolutely beautiful. as someone else says, you transform it into something else entirely with your stylistic differences from the original. your voice is breathtaking.

thank you very much for sharing.

[edgeofday]

Very good... it's one of the most beautiful songs out there and you did a really good job delivering it!

[prolixian]

This is brilliant! Great version - really well done. It's interesting to hear it sung in a female voice as well, works surprisingly well. I'd like to hear more Sun Kil Moon / Red House Painters covers by you.

[davesjen]

What a gorgeous song - and a beautiful voice!

[hordebands]

great job! let's hear some more

[rogersroad]

I thought you hit this one outta the park. Nice work!

[sw0mgt]

Very fine and heart-filled playing... I also love your guitar arrangement. Please keep posting your videos!

[sebbydee]

it feels really unusual for me to have girls got interested in Mark's music. i like the way you sang that great song. one of my fav' of everything he's written...

would love to hear your version of Katy song though...

[Megster156]

Funny you should say that because that's my hands down favorite song by Red House Painters! I have a version I love, but I don't have it on tape. Maybe I'll do that sometime. Thanks for the nice comment!

[daylightfolds]

agreed! Do Katy Song!!!! BTW what tuning is this in? Beautiful rendition.

[Megster156]

I like to do it on open tuning in some dropped key. I tune my guitars low. It's really different from Mark Kozelek's acoustic version, but I just picked it up in open tuning. I have tried to record it, but it doesn't do it justice. So it might take a while...

[daylightfolds]

yeah, what drew me to yer version is the guitar-work. I play it way different with capo, but I absolutely love it when someone transforms a song into there own!  Great work!

[RobMD29]

QUITE SIMPLY BEST COVER VERSION OF THIS SONG ON YOUTUBE

3rd Fret capo...standard tuning? PAH Love this girl's open tuning version of this song!!!

is this something like open C??
