Breaking the Girl (Cover) - Chris LaBenne

[kashmir053]

Great cover. And you can sing too! :D

[breadheaded]

try it in a different key to accommodate your vocal range

[AkitaDog420]

I can't say you 'hit all the notes' but this is a very good cover, man. The flat notes singing add a personal, raw touch. I think the RHCP are unpolished anyways, so it's a fitting cover. Great rendition, dude : )

[MrJfislove]

It was great man. Keep on rockin

[TheCalm25]

perfect cover man. you have a sincerity to you that really adds something to it. super.

[TheCalm25]

This is a great cover man. Pro

[InvisibleShoeLaces]

Awesome playing, and your voice sounds great.

[xe989]

dude this is pretty fucking good this isent shittty at all good job

[MrsSpirited]

Great Cover ! Love it, nice voice and guitar playin' and you're a much prettier version of lennon ;)

[diereaun]

Buena, sí señor, es una buena versión

[tylertheguitardude]

really good

[giventofly1]

great rendition mate! did you transcribe the guitar piece yourself? that's a great way to play the song man and you hit all the notes aswel nice work!

[HollywoodHealthcheck]

Well done.

[Migrock26]

very nice job, dude. go ahead.

[ByVolcom]

wow you look like lennon, Great cover

[fresh8poppyseeds]

nice voice...:D and....you play guitar well with it too. :D

[Notheretostay]

Anyone want to help me with the chords to this?

[CurtFlea]

I'm laughing ! How would be John Lennon playing "Breaking The Girl" ? Like this ^^'

You look a little like Lennon

[SlideScreamer]

very good!

[pepitojoe]

anyone ever seen the film 'brick' ? check the main actor you will laugh

[beatlegirl61]

Good job on the guitar, try to slow down your speed/count a little... the vocals are tough on this... playing it on bass is even tougher! Nice go at it! keep goin'!

[FucklyDuckly]

i like your voice, its nice to see that you play and sing very well together, not the easist guitar to sing to.

[tvrulesnation]

i KNEW IT i knew lennon wasn't dead :P

nah man seriously nice cover, i've seen some terrible covers of RHCP this is one of the better ones.

just in terms of character loosen up a bit, your shoulders are very hunched in the video (maybe just stage fright?)

it just sort of makes you come across a bit weaker.

for eg if you see Frusciante (when he was a Chili pepper :(

he is always cool as a cucumber onstage, check his solo works you might like them.

[beatlegirl61]

@ tvrulesnation I agree! Great comment.. tried to say the same but didn't want to take fame for yours!

[BilboBeutlins]

Great!

[streetkid0]

Wow good voice

[tskrobola]

Very nice! Strong voice.

[pianoman173]

you should do a john lennon song! you would really fit the role!

[fruhotchiliman]

awesome! really like it

[MrDantheguitarman]

i really like you vocal line for the chorus

nice work

[Mattlefthook]

Nice Job Chris. What about learning/posting cover of 'I am the Walrus'...would be perfect Lennon cover w/the look.

RHCP good too, of course

[DYLANMALCOLM]

yo could u give me some guitar tabs or chords

[sicmick112]

holy shit you do look like lennon.

rhcp are great, nice cover

[thenamesfrancisco]

john lennon with down syndrome lol nah jp good cover

[ChrisLaBenne]

Haha, thanks bro. :-)

[dkks93]

You look a bit like john lennon :)

Great cover

[ChrisLaBenne]

Hahaha, you're like the billionth person to tell me that I look like john Lennon. Thanks for the compliment!

[gallipolijew]

yeah dude great cover

[23angelika]

Beautiful playing the quitar and great singing :-)

[fritz18uga]

Not bad man, guitar sounds great

[IAMLAMBTRON]

nice cover...im starting to play guitar and sing and its different, maybe you could check out my version and tell me what you think

[degenozes]

U ROCK

[EmmaEarthquake]

Nice job man! Great playing & singing :)

keep it up!

[MrPepeSTP]

good job little bro! takes balls to play in front of thousands (regardless of whether its live or not) and to not have to constantly look at yer left hand (like me) keep up the playing and pay no mind to EX-LAX Monkey...he just shits all over himself anyway

[ROotsmjm6]

good shit man.. couldnt believe how basic this song was to play. Funny that "laxmonkey" (???) is calling you gay.. what a dousche

[ChrisLaBenne]

Thanks bro! Funny thing is, I'm not actually playing it right, this is just my arrangement of it. I'm gonna do a remake of this soon. As for laxmonkey's comment, some people just have nothing better to do with themselves than rip on other people to make themselves feel better. Thanks for the compliments, man! :)

[laxmonkey123]

depressed little gay

[rhcp4life21]

Completley agree with waffle2012

[waffle2012]

Great cover. You look like John Lennon.

[ChrisLaBenne]

Haha, this video is so old I forgot about my long hair! It's cut short now, but I used to get that John Lennon thing all the time!

[dellboyant]

PENIS YES! PEEEEEENIS

[LeapinLarryLipschitz]

That pretty much Rocked dude. Good Job...I just started playing this song today..

[9ragdoll9]

wow nb

[jayandsilentbob96]

great

[FraNate]

this is really good

[romancutzagiugiuc]

nice one.. listen to my cover please :D

[akramolll]

Kiedis 2 !!!

[eduardofava]

YOU ROCK

[saamhimself2]

ditch the capo dude, this song's easy

[ChrisLaBenne]

Ah, I know, I just didn't feel like tuning my 12-string a half step down, so I just did this instead, haha

[saamhimself2]

understandable hah.

[RockDalf]

dude, the capo doesn't make this song any easier, it just simply plays different and is more studio accurate than leaving it in regular tuning. BTW, thought you done a pretty good job, lyrics were a little shaky in some parts as well as the music, but keep at it, better than most of the vids on here.

[saamhimself2]

it's not any more studio accurate to play it with a capo, it's just in the same key. while it's not like john, you deserve credit for figuring it out this way, because it almost looks more difficult haha.

[PurpleStain6]

thats pretty good dude

[PhouFoo]

good singing, guitar isnt the way its actually played

[theforsakenpiggies]

Awesome cover man! Breaking the Girl is one of the best songs on BSSM.

[RHCPmagic]

Sweet job, I love this song, and glad you didn't torture it, great version of the song rock on

[TheTwoKings]

Thanks! I'm gonna make a new one soon, actually

[douglas84zz]

great voice!

[sobre83]

good voice...but wrong chords...

[oleg1083]

look like Anthony sings

[rockandrolldamnation]

the reincarnation of john lennon lol

[flammablice]

hahaha

[ChrisLaBenne]

Haha, I've gotten that, but John Lennon was a much better musician than I am by a LONG shot.

[insaneguitarist07]

there is nothing to really say accept amazing cover

[RHCPMusicMan]

i cant find the tab for the bridge or chorus with the capo 4th string could someone enlighten me?

[strwbrrygyrl16]

awesome job!!!! you sound awesome!!! great job i'm in <3 with ur youtube video lol =)

[mral13]

thats good bro..slam the strings a bit harder if you want the frucianti edge. nice cover tho man, great song!

[mral13]

thats good bro..slam the strings a bit harder if you want the frucianti edge. nice cover tho man, great song!

[maddermofo]

great singing voice man. I think a bit more confidence in your projection and you'd be a fantastic vocalist

[jimmylokoo]

nice job

[KatieM101388]

love that song...didn't think anyone else my age knew it lol. nice job.

[geesoul]

pretty nice cover!!!

[robin440]

great

[pad33]

good cover....good job

[Segura99]

not bad

[Dulcina3]

woah, i glanced at the first 2 secs of the video when you were looking down, and you looked like john lennon a whole lot. then you looked up, and not so much. anyways... great cover!!!

[porcapuzza]

me too...he is like john lennon, maybe has confused, he wanted to resemble to john Frusciante but has gone out another john, john lennon...or no? maybe lennon hasn't died, maybe he is true john lennon, maybe I'm crazy...

[monstrum59]

lol :)

nice cover Chris =)

[ChrisLaBenne]

Haha, John Lennon was WAY cooler than I am, by far. I'm just a frumpy kid playing guitar

[BloodSugarSexManiac]

great job!

[fnlost]

outstanding !

[ZCOdeAcutangulo]

El crepúsculo del amor había llegado...

[cristetta]

That's not a Yamaha FS-311 is it? That looks just like it but I know they've been discontinued.

Anyway you have a good voice, really. Don't be afraid to open up your mouth some...I was just searching for some good acoustic covers of this cause I can't decide to use a capo on a 6 string or play it open on a 12 string. Glad I stumbled upon this.

[elrobinhov]

What's so special about the Yamaha FS-311? I (also) have one..

[judowojtus]

Wow really a awesome cover.. I'd love to sing with You ;D upload more peppers and check out some Frusciante's songs...

[rhodesey]

im pretty sure john uses a 12 string, also the song can be played a few different ways, one is with a capo as mentioned in the chilis song book

[undegaard]

you got the wrong tab, john don't use a capo, though it sounds good, ok singing aswell:)

[sirpsychoalexi]

keep singing.. you got a good voice too. Guitars great

[Lucidamy74]

I think you did a great job.

[greenee15]

guitar playing is great just the singing needs a little work but good job

[fanyx3]

woooow, nice! (y)

congratz. :}

[Andrewpic7]

ibanez acoustic?

[TheTwoKings]

Naw, it's a Yamaha. I couldn't afford the Ibanez

[rupsgal]

u r so good but lol u shoulda looked at the lyrics better other than that it was good

[GivyMe]

i will learn it from you !!

you dd very well:D

and what are you doing with your nose its soo funny ;D

[dononorio]

buen cober loco perfecto ...from chile

[desol89]

u did a decent job. but i think the song has to be strummed more aggressively.

voice is good tho. nice job.

[diggy224]

ok im impressed....you passed the audition,lol

[pOeM89]

thx man! i got it now :D ur nice

[meemat]

beautiful voice, nice cover.

[woutjedevries]

nice cover chris,keep up the good work :)

What is the strum pattern? (down,up,up)Thx !!

Greetings from Holland

[highway1jazz]

haha, I liked the "ouch. Screw up" pop up

[tef74]

I like this song and this cover... good voice and good playing!

[olemunati]

Not G F# am but G F# B.

[olemunati]

good voice. Good guitar playing. Good coordination. The chords are a bit different in the original version. When you go G in the chorus, the next chord is a F# and then to am. Next round it's G D C.

[mirime123]

good job:]

[kruemel07]

hey :) You have a very nice voice...greetz from germany ;)

[TheFreakz]

your covers are tops, i like your voice

[daconor91]

what chord were u doing at exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds

[Carpbag]

And to the guy who said it's a Led Zepplin song, it's not, but Frusciante admitted that he borrowed the chord progression from the Zepplin song "Friends". Just thought I'd say. Keep up the good work

[Carpbag]

best cover I've seen. Just the chorus part I don't think the chords were right, but you've got a good voice for it. Nice one

[daconor91]

breaking the girl.

[luvX2Xdance]

look how short your hair was.

[DazedNConfused87]

shit voice

[ChrisLaBenne]

'Preciate it.

[elvemage242]

pretty good. :P

[keaganshiva]

great job, you have a really nice voice. You should sing it out 100% and you'd be mint.

[AmandaSteffey]

Still one of my favorites. =)

[piratemoose]

dude ur really good. actually kikass

[jeuhrn]

good performance, but you should play the proper chords for the "twisting and turning"/"think you're so clever" part ;)

[catholicschoolgirls]

not good

[gamechamp1084]

pretty good dude! Easier to play tho without a capo and tune to E-flat.

[420ish]

that was awesome chris!!!!wish i could sing it like you do!!!,i wish i had a 12string to jam this song,keep it up bro!NICE

[mitsukaranai]

Simply loved it.

[residentevil000]

jaja "ouch screwed up" XD nicely done:)

[snake83]

good one...i play it diffrent but sounds the same..i tune down.

[DevilsLittleSisterr]

Fcking awasome guy!.. You did a very good job!.. Like your voice =)..Keep on going!

[Saladsalami]

[brandonlikesrhcp]

good job dude u did a great job...

vocals were top notch, put a little more kiedis style in there tho...

u know what im talkin about?

[quinn0627]

heyyy, pretty damn good man, that seems like it would be a hard song to sing and play guitar to. ive wanted to cover this song for a reallly long time, if my band ever does, check it out (i have to play drums and sing!)

[luvX2Xdance]

my personal favorite :]

peace

[benrobinson88]

lol "yay led zepplin!" lol

[ChrisLaBenne]

Haha "BigPUTZ"

[demonicfreak]

you sing very well dude!!

[luvX2Xdance]

cute! lol nice glasses (not being sarcastic)

just listened to ur screw up lol

nice work chris!

ive noticed r nose is always itching ill me a device to fix that

[BigPUTZ]

I LOVE THIS ZEPLINN SONG. CRANCK IT UPPPP

[KoolJ1013]

please tell me you are joking. Its Red Hot Chili Pepper song off of their Blood Sugar Sex Magik album.

[ChrisLaBenne]

Are you dumb? It's Red Hot Chili Peppers. It says right in the freakin' description.

[luvX2Xdance]

apparently someone failed reading class :]

[daconor91]

its not a fucking led zeppelin song whats wrong with you

[mojo81]

tune your guitar a half step down and play it in A flat. Anyway good performance!

[Dave699]

hey man. your a good singer. im not gonna lie, your guitar playing needs a bit of work but hey, you arent bad. the only problems i can see really is that a few of the chords in the chorus a wrong. not your fault of course. i could send you the chords if you like? completely up to you. keep it up man, i like your voice.

[ChrisLaBenne]

Sure man, hit me with the chords. I actually perform this song as a solo with my band, so those could definitely come in handy. Much thanks, man.

[Dave699]

ok then mate. if you could just send me your email address and ill write them out n send them to ya :)

[DaRHCPrDaBomb]

dude schweet i didnt know you sang it too...that one chord doesnt like you very much now does it. lol
