this is still quite possibly my favorite thing, ever.

[falconshu]

Good job man. Really beautiful.

[drclown]

that was amazing dude! could you please send me the chords!??

[aarossell]

@drclown if I can remember... and you'll have to figure out the voicing and derivatives, E - G#m - A - E. Then G - D - A. The end is easy, figure it out!

[chlojaawn]

This is lovely! Made me happy

[JacobSchafferMusic]

this is aweeeesome

[hollyspry]

"...and all the things I hate, I wish I didn't have to hate..." This is one of my fav AC songs, such a great song to sing along to, excellent choice!

[mikeweckstein]

You did a very amazing job if I must say so myself :) That must have been very tough to cover, singing wise at least, although I can't say I'm a guitar fiend since I suck at playing guitar haha. but wow, really good cover. It's too bad not everybody in the world has heard of Animal Collective. One of the best bands of this era!

[aarossell]

[extraordingary]

[tongue17]

[aarossell]

it's a Washburn. check out "Woodwind Brasswind"s website...I got it for $170 or something ridiculous like that. wonderful guitar too

[cornonthecobbob]

This is really beautiful. :D

[worstjazzer]

[PattyKaitt]

[DaltonxDelicious]

i take back the tab statement, it didn't take me more then 10 minutes to figure out the chords. once again great job

[decomedula]

Yeeah! Im agree, can you make some tabs for this song?

You rock dude!

[Siviaknows]

really beautiful, like rain dripping from your tongue

[DaltonxDelicious]

this is very good, you pull the voice off very well.

any chance you have tabs or chords for the guitar?

over all this is just the bee's knee's

[80462856]

wow this is really awesomeee :D It totally made my day :D

[SuperPhysicist]

i love this good okay good ily baby girl beard

[Amyers1000]

[ticklechu]

Great job.

Bonus points for the beard.

[TheCrimper]

This is great. Keep up the good work, Face Beard Man.

[andylajuene]

[kevinnfederline]

[kevinnfederline]

i love this almost as much as the original.

[aarossell]

wow thanks--maybe I'll try to hash out a real cover recording

[87pikachu]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[SafestLedgee]

This is really good.

You do this song much justice, could you perhaps share the tabs?

[VeryAmpersand]

I love it =)

[53Kalypso]

This song is so insanely beautiful and your acoustic cover totally highlights the organic vibe...

[cptlocust]

Bravo!

[vajrayogi]

Wow dude! Excellent Job!!! Do "My Girls", "Bluish" and "In the Flowers"

[aarossell]

Yes sir!

(i attempted bluish but every time I sing it I get really dizzy....)

[stoopidstoopid]

Great cover. You win. I reward you permission to sit on your couch all day and eat Gardettos and drink Arizona tea and listen to Animal Collective all day.

[aarossell]

sweet

[satanjams]

that guitar playing sounds really great

[DamionSpoon]

I love this soooo much

[bloc47]

Brave cover. A song that is pretty much all synths and electronics must have been hard to transfer onto guitar, so huge respect to even attempting this. It's really cool.

[LilRandom2008]

That was solid. Congrats

[strawberryjamzs]

you are a stellar musician

[drsmeebob]

wow, must have been hard to work out.

[TheBrooklynRadio]

Sounds really good friend, take care.

Peace

BkRadio

[guywithbeard34]

you're great singer. start making music yourself

[aarossell]

thanks man! I have made some, but singing is not my most comfortable instrument.

[TheDraftDodgers]

Great, great stuff!

[josepherr]

You are amazing.

[mutemusik]

beautiful wow.

[starbuck1111]

uhm leave your life behind and come on a date with me now. haha

that was great, man. it brought happiness to my soul.

[fatjello72]

kick ass for sure!

[Adamezzz]

Are you Iron & Wine? Reveal yourself! :D Amazing cover, I really love it.

[FreakFolk391]

This is such a great cover!

Your chords sound great and your voice fits very well despite what you may think!

Would it be too much to ask for the chords? Pretty please?

[aarossell]

i think the name of the first chord is Emaj9.

Emaj9, G#m, A.

Then G, Dmaj9, repeat, A, Dmaj9, repeat.

The rest you can figure out.

[fyoonkay]

Really well done!

[colekins]

you are great

[addisonray]

Has anyone told you you sort of look like the guy from Iron & Wine? Nice cover by the way...

[revolutionary47]

Every bearded person now looks like the iron & wine dude....bearded people are the new asians

Just joking, just joking, don't get mad

[aarossell]

AAHHHHH IM SO ANGRY

[TheBoss2332]

Well played.

[WeMustExploit]

For everyone asking for the chords, they're at ultimate-guitar...just search for water curses.

If you're trying to mirror Aaron's fingers and its not sounding right, I'm fairly certain his guitar is tuned down one half-step, but he's pretty much playing the chords from the tab on the web, so check it out and quit buggin him haha

...great job on all your vids, man.

[aarossell]

Thanks!

Also, I would encourage every guitar player who wants to learn to play the guitar to listen more closely to the songs they want to figure out. All it takes is a few listens with the guitar in your hands, trial and error, etc. Most AC songs are very simple.

[iwanttobecold]

are you doug martsch's little brother or something?

very impressive cover.

[aarossell]

hahaha,....no but I love his music.

[bebopalulahola]

what are the chords?

[beef47]

this is great, i always thought animal collective songs were way to complicated to cover acoustically, this blew my mind

[marcolombardo07]

Pretty good, but obviously staged.

[aarossell]

thanks! but i don't have a clue what you mean by staged.

[marcolombardo07]

I was just yanking your chain! But I really enjoyed this, thanks for posting it!!

[KoalaBones]

verrry good job! are you in a band? you oughta be. you wouldn't happen to have tabbed out the chords you used, did you?

[robotgirls]

request seconded! also, nice job man this is great. one of the best animal collective covers i've heard

[Thimblesworth]

Good job, sir. I have been trying to figure out those chords all week, thanks!

[ummmyeah639]

that was really REALLY beautiful

[nathanpy]

nice work. those lyrics are hard. sweet.

[easyluckyfree7]

nice work! acoustic versions of animal collective songs are so beautiful!

[robotgirls]

i really like it.. you did a very good job

[killerdynam0]

awesome awesome awesome i love it

[NewPhantom9399]

awesome cover...

you imitated his voice voice pretty well..

yes..

[spaofmolasses]

This is pretty awesome.

[starsszz]

[dadadevo]

wow, very very good job. dont be self effacing, this is awesome.

[rayolacer]

[LouiseIsGlitteryJunk]

[cookieplz]

WOW amazing job.

[willlliw]

this is stunning........i was expecting a huge failure. this is so good.

[deeeeeznoo]

aw damn son

[AHHHjane]

The guitar is so so so good.

[shrpenyourteeth9]

really really good man

[Roguemarlfox]

I was just thinking about if it was even possible to do an acoustic version of this song, but you've done an amazing job of this. Outstanding.

[forestrootshakyknees]

this is spectacular, its wonderful to hear an acoustic translation of this song

you sound very much like avey.

[enjoyyourroots]

i wish animal collective would make remixes of their songs like this.

[wilburnforce]

wow so cool! nice job. and i can barely understand the lyrics too.

[RAINRIEN]

EXCELLENT 4H Make The BEST BETTER Like :: Inara George and Van Dyke Parks SATISFIED. Seriously Massa Parks, you muss be satisfied to the pleasuristness.

[KenKowwwrb]

That was amazing man. And I really like the sound of your guitar.

[FenderBender79]

This was awesome!!! Thanks for posting this cover.

[Dresden006]

Well done! I fucking love this song.

[schmitty3]

fucking awesome

[nalbmalfoy]

fantastic

[Jackass922]

where did you get the lyrics for the song cuz im thinkin of covering this song on acoustic as well

[aarossell]

I listened carefully, Jackass

[Jackass922]

ok? no need to be a douche, i was just asking a neutral question

[aarossell]

no no no, I was being funny. your name is Jackass922, man.

[Jackass922]

o i see, just a heads up, you can't really put emotion or sarcasm into text, especially in comments

[aarossell]

thanks

[IamSteveTaylor]

hahaha if your name is jackass, you need to be able to take a joke better than that

[intergalacticponcho]

lol

[ourtinyservant]

This was good, but it's a little like watching you rehearse...while you read the lyrics off the screen. I wanna see you eyes closed going mental!

[Luvmealready]

Bravo. Great cover. I didnt think the magic could be done without all that AC studio wizardry, but you pulled it off nicely.

[john6111]

you saved my life

please do a cover of winters love !

goshh

perfff man^_^

[Brickfield]

sick. sweet beard too.

[jellyphish111]

amazing. put this up to download, i want it.

[fantasticskeetskeet]

awesome bro, again could you share the chords? that looks hard to play.

[aarossell]

E something, A flat minor, A

G, D something, G, D something

A, D something, A, D something

bla bla bla, give it a listen

[MBArkestra]

What are the chords to this? I'm not sure if you're playing the exact notes from the song (it definitely seems a bit hard to get a grasp of), but your rendition sounds interesting. Good work!

[aarossell]

well there's a hell of a lot of notes in the AC recording...I think my chords are pretty closely representative of the song.

[Chimerafou]

Nice job, it's very subdued. It's like winter's love, would you do the cover of that next?

[limpviscid]

For YouTube an Animal Collective cover, it's not bad.

[bugpowderdust]

well done :)
