Michelle Branch - "The Game of Love" Live Acoustic

[kickasslishahamp24]

just love it.......

[aaa567ify]

Love the chords to this. Great job Michelle. You don't need a band behind you. You sound just fine. Great upload.

[iggyshwartz]

Fantastic! - I love it when artists strip it all down and just play the acoustic. The talent either shines through or forget it. Your the real deal.

[Sarasdad91]

Carlos is definitely missing from this. I love your voice Michelle, but you need Carlos bad!

[brandomilana]

can someone tell me the chords 4 this song

[sixgunner455]

@brandomilana - chorus, intro are Em and Dmaj. Other parts have Gmaj and F#maj and A augmented 7. I didn't see anything else.

[straydogbluesman]

Truly fantastic.

[muchohucho]

please don't kid yourself, you don't need Carlos, although his lead does give that song unmistakebale zipity doo da.

[austinsaxmansteve]

@muchohucho I agree, she doesn't need Carlos. in fact, he's just noodling around, playing over and against the phrasing of the vocal meldody. Very unprofessional.

[sixgunner455]

@austinsaxmansteve - bit harsh, don't you think, to say that he's unprofessional for that? Kind of the way he intended, I think.

[austinsaxmansteve]

@sixgunner455 I'm actually holding back some. I could say a lot more. And don't get me started about Jimmy Vaughan ...

[wallachinski]

Does the world have enough singing angels like her? I think not!

[gg4ever100]

can anybody tell me what chords this are?

[shawnmalain]

Love your guitar! 

[KP11520]

I don't know what it is about her. I just love her and never get tired of her sweet voice! Thank you Michelle for the clear shots of your left hand. Now I can see it's tuned a half step down and that makes life a whole lot easier to get this perfect. Now to find someone to sing it like you! Loud Music is just another one that's perfect for you!

[PrinceTian]

OH YES! i love when she goes high notes:-D

[NovaChew]

Michelle sings this so well, which is hard, considering Gregg A. Seems to have a passion for the high tones he can barely hit himself, teehee :3

I just wanna say that I did not all like Tina Turner's version, I and I do not understand why people find her sexy. Sure, she was hot when she was young, but she both looks and sounds like a man who's trying too hard, lol.

[Arjun007ize]

Nice one,Subscribed. Please keep it up.

[Garuda3838]

she look like naked when the guitar cover her body...awwww3

[tritone12]

rock on Michelle.

how very beautiful!!!!!

[jmm1783]

I never heard it sound better then that

[parismartinelli2]

Its pointless trying to compete with Mrs. Gray or Mrs Turner, but new blood always bring new life, new energy to the stage...

[kive0107]

I'm a MB fan, but after listening to Tina's version... I kinda like it though. The feeling and emotion within the song has totally changed. I can see a girl with a frisky and playful personality when I listen to MB's version. For Tina's, I can see a lady with a hot and sexy body and has so much experience....y'know, something like that. I love both versions though...that's all I want to say:-D

[McCloud8]

your voice was beautiful XDi love it

[jesucarl1406]

you is beutifulllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllll

[closertotheheart]

Nice version but the only thing that could have made it just a tad better was if she used Dmaj7 instead of the Dmajor. Nitpicking here.

[miyazawa0000]

i word... AWESOME!!! any new songs like this? i miis u Michelle!!!

[tiobarranc]

im in love xD 

[Carlosuribeperu]

Michelle Branch  very nice , beautiful...........

[MELAPELAN2000]

I LOVE YOU MICHELLE!! FOR ME, YOU ARE MORE THAN PERFECT... LIKE AN ANGEL. YOUR LONG AND BLACK HAIR, YOUR ANGEL'S FACE. AAAAH YOU LIKE ME TOO MUCH..... SOMEDAY YOU'LL BE MINE!!! I PROMISE IT. YEAAAAHHHH!!!

[nellie2581]

Love this song

[MrChanmoua]

I've heard Tina Turner's version and I like Michelle Branch's voice for this song the best.

[MANHATTANBEEFMAN]

I would date you.

[joshdamsma]

Amazing Michelle. Ever come to Denver, I'll play the Santana Part :-)

[ELTIOPULPOMONFU]

dime por que yano bienes a verme

[spynation10]

wow!! amazing 

[jrcapri77]

she is 2 $exy.

[arcopizzicato]

wow this is awesome!! just like the recording. amazing!!!! :D

i wish musicians like her would be what we'll hear on the radio again

[Gourmetbooger]

I am 53 year old full time musician and I am humbled.

[philotze]

The voice is aweeeesommmmmmeeeeeeeeee...and The Gibson sounds so rich! 

[Koz07]

I had to go to two funerals this week and Music like this helps heal the pain. This song speaks to my soul. It says you are Alive, now is your time under the Sun, rejoice, celebrate and never let anyone or anything bring you down, all the rest will take care of it's self. Bow your head to no man, as we fly on through space and always Love, like there is no tomorrow. Peace

[bluesharmonicaplaya]

@Koz07 I had 3 in one week, a few weeks ago, I feel ya.

[frankluko]

This is hard for me to listen to. so bad.

[Hollywoodgirl1010]

@frankluko What?? this is freakin amazing, why did you even look it up then..

[immortalsoloist]

Michelle you have always been one of my favorite song writers :) You have always been true to yourself keep it up :)

[047marie]

MICHEEELLLLLLEEEEEE

i miss you so much!



[Jimmnie1]

Michelle will always love Santana ~ he was tapping that "hotbox" when she was a child ~~

[18mofako]

gosh if i was gay id be in love with her lol.

wish i had her beauty and talent!

[JeikoZeus]

i'm in the game of love with michelle! haha :D

[SeanFication]

"Did you not notice the wedding ring? :)"

Must you ruin my fantasy life? :(

[willieguitars]

This song kicks ass!! And only Michelle Branch can pull it off!! Way To Go!!

Sorry MG & TT.

[pafox1027]

The guitar tuning is standard tuning but she tuned it down half a step.

[tvrichie]

Absouloutely Amazing Soo Perfect!

[VoVikMakaR]

BEAUTIFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL AAAAAAAAAA

[msninjaden]

does anyone know what her guitar's tune is?

I miss Michelle Branch so much! She was like my high school life lol...

[jepc92003]

@msninjaden i think is normal tuning E,D,G,(Em),Am n Bm in d bridge

[99hmike]

THIS GIRl IS AWESOME!!

[enosram]

buenos, siempre había escuchado el tema, hoy lo he visto, fabuloso....

Tal vez algún día Michelle vaya a CR

Chao. enosram

[MrTwain00]

well, its something like sleepy version. I mean it do sounds good but i love the original of it!

[liryus1]

Love that Guitar... T.T

[mariacalderon28]

she had a really good voice i was wondering at first but it sounds great good job Michelle

[johnnyrikkens]

Wow, I'm gonna use it as my ringtone and wake up alarm for my cell phone. Hmm, what else? Maybe add her phone number to my speed dial, yeah, that's it...

[jfcash84]

@johnnyrikkens Teddy Landau might not like that, nor would their daughter. Did you not notice the wedding ring? :)

[chineechik]

true talent.

[lupash]

rotfl, chords totally wrong

[Marlonakanemo]

@lupash its called a different key asshole

[lupash]

no, it's not a question of key, u have to study much more harmony, kid.

[pbl1]

@lupash - got it, she was playing major/minor chords instead of 6th and maj7. also, guitar was tuned down a 1/2 step to accomodate both her vocals and the playing of "easier" chords.

[pbl1]

@Marlonakanemo - nice language! you blow your dad with that mouth?!?

[HiTopProd]

@lupash You are right about the wrong chords (sort of) - she is playing 9th chords instead of major chords which makes the melody sound strange.

[bryanpampola]

hahaha! :) I'm sure they like it.. Because people don't only like it.. We 'LOVE' it! Please Please Please.. Give us another piece of your LoOooooove-ly Songs.. :D

[legithax0r]

Wonderful.

[cachano7]

[tootmysteamboats]

I didn't think I'd like this version, but I absolutely LOVE IT.

[quilinderinoangeli]

gorgeous guitar....o_O

[iBMarie]

u gota admit, she kinda looks like britney spears if u rly take the time to look

[valleart]

@iBMarie looks like spears? lol now thatz funny.

[joeyjokester]

@iBMarie Michelle Branch cannot look like britney spears because I find her attractive. Q.E.D

[giorgioadams]

Great job Michell .... Love all your music....and your guitar playing you are a true artis... bless you.Just love it .... Iam a big fan....

[uklangang]

[Eleanisviri]

[Eleanisviri]

[SideSwipeGTA]

Macy Gray would have destroyed this song.

[DasDirektor]

Awesome - lol!

[ricknzrickster]

Damn, something about acoustics. Sometimes no need for all those effects. Not knocking the effects!

[MrTadeKK]

It is just the best version:)

Why? Because is acustic :) keep the great work :)

Love it :P

[valleart]

i am going to draw her.

[iBMarie]

@valleart lmaoo

[valleart]

@iBMarie lol yeah why not. 

[bb714]

Thanks for posting.  That was awesome. She's got such a pretty voice. I can see why they picked her for that song.

[jaypee24]

i missed her performance here in the philippines.....i've been regretting it ever since....one of the few who influenced the way i write my music....

[gunzo02]

i just love how michelle branch sing :D

[trojansfan87]

not bad but the version with santana and the electric is much better

[Gushotspot]

Deliciaaaaaaaaaaa de gatinha, meu deus!!! Apaixonante!!!

[MrGManSG]

I <3 this song!

[manuelskateordie29]

i love this woman

♥

[jmaine44]

I like Tina Version Too, its more powerful!

[gttellez]

holly sn..this song is so good thanks for your shared....your voice is very nice.......greetings from Veracruz mexico...y viva mexico!!!!1

[ELTIOPULPOMONFU]

me enamore ha que buena mujer basta

[blues917]

Looks like it might be F#m (not F#) to me. But, honestly...it doesn't sound right. The guitar tab version I found used Em7 instead of Em, which altho only a slight change, does sound more like it. Em is too "Neil Young" for this song. Too heavy in other words. Just my opinion.

[benitodevalencio]

Yeah, F#m. I would play it like this: Em9 D7 Em9 D7, Em9 D7 Em9 D7, Em9 D7 G A, Em F#m G A. Right before the transition to chorus I think the strong Em is fine. Em9 is Em7 + 2nd fret on high E (F#). F# is kind of like the pedal note, since it's in D7 also. And she's down tuned to Eb in this vid, so play along with the studio version unless you want to down tune your guitar too.

[woodstockheart123]

why does she sound soooo different? like a country singer, or something...

[JordanMunkee]

anyone know strumming pattern, i keep getting it wrong

[Nabucodonosor21]

ella no sabe mucho tocar guitaraa...

[ABZOTE]

michell branch estas wena...

[TeensAreNotChildren]

Wow. A pop radio star with actual talent.

I thought they were extinct.

[wendie82]

@TeensAreNotChildren Yes but she went country :(

[NiymbleFingers]

@TeensAreNotChildren Sad but so true. :(

[mysticskie]

Awesome! Please do an accoustic cover of I'm Feeling You, it's my favorite among your songs. More power. (^_^)

[xxstormxangelxx]

actually i heard she didn't write that one.. idk though

[guitardan2000]

I think Santana chose the right singer to sing The Game of Love.

[BestMattBeast]

omg I completely forgot she was in this song. awesome

[jmaine44]

@guitardan2000 i read that he like Turner's version the Best!! she did not wont to due the video.

[yourimpulse]

[pinkybrooklyn]

[ny3va]

[mark040477]

I wish she'll do an acoustic version of "I'm Feeling You"

Excellent Performance!

[JordanMunkee]

oh and what chords do you use in that song, i saw a G, and D couldnt catch the rest, im a beginner ^^

[akirayuriko]

She uses E minor, D, F#, G and i think Asus4 aswell. Hope that helps! :)

[JordanMunkee]

Your voice is FLAWLESS! and you have a really nice guitar. [:

[harleykman]

I like the intros. They help me see her TRUE personality.

Anyway I don't normally like acoustic versions, but here voice is so pure and "girly" that it sounds fantastic.

[glopry2190]

[turpentine85]

[aubreyschannel]

Oh my gosh< I totally remember this song:D!!

[zjenn4]

ha, I remember when the video was about to come out. Our student council was trying to get Michelle to come play for our spirit/leadership conference our high school (Red Rock high) was hosting (because she's from our town and the other schools coming thought this was cool). She couldn't do it, so they sent an early copy of the video instead (at least I think it was early, or perhaps just one we could use on a big screen).

[DrElliotReid]

One of my favorite songs by Michelle! Definitely top 3 by her and a masterful job as always!
