I'm using a D harmonica. I didn't figure out the notes beforehand. I play mostly by ear, so I've never written out any harmonica tabs or even seen some. If it'll help, I'll try to figure out what I'm doing in the vid.
florknogg clearly doesn't know what he's talking about (just check out his video to see evidence).
Your tone is not very Boss-like, but that's just the way it is. Transposing is not the answer. It's not the key that's the difference, it's the tone.
I sat down and figured this song out for myself before a friend mentioned this video. Glad to know that a) I was right, and b)I didn't imagine the funky chord inversion thingy...
Thanks for the comment. I didn't do it exactly like the original on purpose. I wanted to put my own spin on it, while remaining faithful to the original for the most part.
It doesnt matter what the voice is like or how good the guitar is, its about the reason of the song. If the song is full of heart and passion, it's a damn good song. Aslong as it has meaning to people, its good.
I don't know about "more famous than the Boss," but I appreciate it. I guess the trick to getting a lot of views on your videos is to do songs that haven't been released yet, and your views will go through the roof.
But the thing is...I REALLY like your cover. In fact (and I'm gonna have to whisper this coz I got minus 3 for my last comment!) there's something about how you sing this song that seems so...right. Keep up the good work.
I think there is more to getting lots of views than good timing. At the risk of me getting another minus 3 rating for my comment(!)...your cover of this song...seems SO RIGHT. Love it.
One of the Springsteen message boards I'm a member of was nice enough to e-mail me the mp3 of the song. I figured out the chords by ear, and added the harmonica myself.
Well done mate. Not sure if my earlier comment got posted (This is my first YouTube comment!)
As I said...I enjoyed your effort. There's always someone who's going to complain..let them try to do it!! Keep up the good work. I'll be listening :-)
paniconda why dont you go back and make your gay ass videos or w/e you do cause were tired of you being on 24/7 you know, go outside and i swear if you say "fuck you fag" or "fuck you" im gonna think you have a retarted block
If you're going to record yourself singing a Springsteen song and put it on the internet (and, with a voice like that, I'm not advocating anything of the sort), at least get the lyrics right.
decent job and thanks for posting this but - not a good voice, C- at best. It will be cool to see other people cover this song. Bruce is amazing, just keeps on writing great songs.
just want to tell you. i downloaded this and put this on my pmp so I could see how you play, I ended up listening like 10 times. You have a Neil Young-ish vibe to your voice. Neil does Bruce doing 867-5309 by Tommy Tutone (same chords). Now, I live in Japan, so I was zipping on the bullet train last night coming home watching your video on my 5 inch screen of my pmp. cool huh. good cover, neil :)
Hey .. I'm a big fan of your covers of Bruce. Are you going to give "Long Walk Home" a try now that it's making its rounds around the net *hint hint*? I think it'll sound great when Bruce plays it both full band and acoustic. Do you plan on attending the upcoming Springsteen tour? I'm sure you will but what the heck. Im really looking forward to the Philly shows.
Not a bad effort mate the neil young comparison is well spotted nice version though!!Maybe the boss in future shows could do a really good accoustic version himself??
Good work and thanks from Austria! To be honest: I am fearing a mainstream album from the Boss is coming up. Your interpretation is better than Bruce's. It shows the song's true quality.
mws51581, Very Good! How did you learn this song so quickly? Where did you first hear it? I've listened to Bruce's single version, as uploaded by Squirrellone and Charmed19832, but you tackled it live acoustic. Yeehaw!!!
Very good. It's pretty impressive that you figured out the guitar and lyrics, and got a good performance recorded all on the day the song was first released. I agree with other posters in that your voice has a Neil Young vibe.
No wonder these are all positive reviews. You delete the ones that are even in part critical of it. Like I said, I thought it was plenty decent, but your singing voice is still pretty annoying.
Whoopsie. Sorry. I meant to hit reply but accidentally hit remove. Thanks for listening and for taking the time to comment. I kept messing up and had to do numerous takes, so I had lost my voice by the time I got to the performance you're hearing.
Nothing else was deleted, BTW. No need to assume things.
