your cover is the BEST i have heard so far. your voice matches his perfectly!! and you don't like even have to do the i'm-trying-to-sound-like-elliot-smith voice. its so natural. wonderful.
hey mate, soo keen to learn this song. im not a very experienced guitarist, plus ive lost the tips of my index and middle finger on my fret hand. wanted to attemped this song but im unable to find a good source to show me the correct tab with the capo. are you able to help me out.
Before someone asks for the high notes, here's how they work with a capo on the second with those bass notes I mentioned: all 5th and 6th string, E 12th frt and B 9th, E10 + B9, E9 + B8, E8 + B4 (stretch!), E7 + B5, E6 + B4 then E4 + B5 with the open D bass note to finish. How to tie that in with the bass notes will require a little work but it sounds pretty good when you accentuate some notes and ghost the others.
Further to my post on bass notes, (capo on the 2nd but all fret positions stated as if there's no capo): open D string twice, D string 9th fret once, repeat etc. Then same with open D and G string 4th frt (same notes but lower down the neck),then same with A string 4th frt and D string 4th frt. Open d to finish. Same picking pattern all the way through - two low then one higher note. Play along to check, it works!
My only criticism is that the bass notes in the intro aren't uniform (it's two notes the same then one higher), I've seen all the tabs and they're wrong. You have to listen to the intro and isolate the bass notes, I play it with a capo on the second and it's not difficult to achieve. I don't play it as well as you I hasten to add!
hey men! I really like the song. Could you send me the notes please! memory lane rocks and so do you! incredible voice to. looking forward to hear from you!
I'm not usually a fan of covers (especially of such an untouchable artist as elliott smith) but you really played the hell out of that song. Well done man.
Definitely. Memory Lane is one of very few songs that I actually have difficulty singing because the pitch thins out my voice alot. I just felt it'd be copped out if I just did guitar. So yea, I'm working on more Elliott covers as well as Dispatch ones; I'll try and have something up in a couple of days. Independence Day, maybe.
jeez great post some more stuff, i really liked it just not sure it is the right song for your voice, not that u cant pull it off but i thin another song could show it off more
great cover man
