.. O .o

[emilyxtrippp]

Very nice. Keep up the good work. :)

[JerkRant]

@alzg141 hahah I do enjoy it... I just don't like that whenever I press record something always goes wrong. Mostly interruptions from outside sources. So I try to get it finished before anything nerve wracking happens. I cannot count the times I've sat here for hours doing nothing and as soon as I am recording 20 people call or ring the doorbell.

[SuperCcgamer]

Damn nice dude

[brianna55555metal]

u fuckin suck

[eyezzzlow]

[MigGonzJr]

[mikehatesgayassford]

@JerkRant

[blacksa160]

good rff but your speeding up quite a bit you should slow it down and then you wont be so out of breath when your singing good job!

[JerkRant]

yeah... it's sort of a curse... I play things faster....

even if I start out slow I start going faster...

[LTJuggernaut]

lol its called panicking.

[JerkRant]

it's called... I get bored and irritated... and I just want the song to finish

[grodon909]

@JerkRant I know how that feels...

[ih8thecharts]

[iamchris1000]

[tkorko]

SUCKS!

why do people..when they do covers..have to change their voice tone?

ugh...

[pwnst4r]

Too add a bit of their own personality to it.

If they sounded exactly the same it wouldn't be a cover now would it?

[emanawashere]

dude chill

[Joker1Zero]

interesting interpretation of the song. not bad.

[GringaTeff]

Awesome cover

Love it

[anotherlyricist]

i know your playing with a capo but what chords you playing because it frickin rocks your really good reminds of someone like

Give it a million star rating if it was possible

[JerkRant]

the chords are Am, G, F , Em for the whole song... the chorus after Em goes to G for the last beat

[LaundryCrewHeroe]

[MissyGirl060394]

[schackrutigapa]

I dont like your voice though!!

But hey??? You had the guts!!

[Roryx9]

[JerkRant]

<.< O.o

[SaDinski5]

HAHAHA

[soso0690]

good work!!

[sodarajadude97]

this is really cool since it's much different than the original, great work!

[UltraViolencex]

God. I'm in love with your voice. Its so rock and thick. I feel like singing. Talk about inspiration. Great job.

[snapbubbles]

I totally agree with you!

[handsomeawkward07]

nobodys perfect dude.

and assholes are always going to talk shit about us.

but you had the courage to record your voice and put it on youtube, not givin a shit if anybody likes it or not. i give you mad props for that, brotha

[Diearscage]

nice playing but i don't like the voice ^^

[C0ldsn0w]

wow actually really good for an acoustic cover 5/5

[marth20x66]

This is just me talking here but you give it like a sort of punk sound or a classic rock. Decent cover though good job :]

[USgunslinger]

good job guy

[BenCSTJQ]

nice, its the "gtfo mommy" version :D

thx for sharing

[madups31]

ahh dude this is awesome.

[seagullWHAT13]

that was actually great.

[MbeeTeen]

your guitar was good throughout, you need to warm up your voice though-it's a lot better towards the enter

[weberg91]

Jesus u are playing way to fast nooby! ;D

[JerkRant]

i never knew that I had to respect the tempo in a cover of a song

[Sugarbooger1982]

Yeah THis is sick.

[xLwrnRAWRx]

wheres your face

[JerkRant]

in my other videos

[deiselmark]

do u have punk influences?

[ugotownd06]

sounds more like ska influences. its really good. my 2nd fave cover of it.

[JerkRant]

i really have both influences... hahaha... and folk... and the sort... and pretty much anything

[jdt917]

Yours is my second favorite acoustic cover.

[playon023]

who's your first?

[XeroxRabbit]

Frank Bell

[JerkRant]

i agree

[jdt917]

Frank Bell. But he hasn't covered it fully yet I don't think.

[dleffskate]

ur right but its called breakfast in america by supertramp not girlfriend

[alexjs1000]

This song is a cover of Supertramp's song GIRLFRIEND. Please don't give gym class hereos credit for this song.

[mikeouk]

Only the chorus is take from supertramp, all the verse's are by gym class heroes

[ChrisCringleII]

Like dleffskate said, it's Breakfast In America. When I first heard the new version I was outraged. I can't believe Roger Hogsdon gave the rights to Gym Class Heroes. I sent an e-mail to all my friends telling them how Gym Class Heroes made a new version and I included a video of the original, and they all said that the original was crap. People today don't have taste. However, I have been liking the new version quite a bit.

[DixieWolf8]

yea cause they totally wrote the whole song this way. Only the chorus is from that song. The rest of the song was written by the Gym Class Heroes and while it would be nice to mention those who wrote the chorus of the song in the first place, you cannot take credit away from the people who wrote all the verses and the bridge in this version.

[TheNicksternator]

Mate, i've watched 20+ acoustic covers of this song and i can safely say this one is by far the best. I love your voice and this beat.

You should get on X factor or something, even though i hate those programmes. :L

[upgrader99]

His tab is a capo'ed Am, G, B, and Em.

With cool variations of course - awesome job man!

[blackakuma]

I love this song and you did your thing on this.

[skm21]

i dont really like this song when its sung by gym class heros, however i fucking love your cover, i think this is amazing, my hat is off too you good sir

[will111223]

sounds awesome!

[Torafina]

any chance on tab??

[luis100lp]

Ficou muito bom

[Eranikus]

Awesome bro, great voice.

[optico07]

muy bueno maestro

[baddogg516]

love the song thought u were gonna fuck it all up but that was actually really fuckin cool sounds great man keep it up

[CircleEF]

Get this somewhat "professionally" recorded, and I'd definetly be willing to buy a copy. Keep it up man.

[drilldreams]

i honestly dont like ur voice but the way u sang this song differently just made it easier to my ears haha. great job!

[treehouse1441]

that was pretty cool jus stretched the vocals too much yo but yea

[Akeeg4]

i wish i could make fun, but that was pretty awesome

[dudecalmdownnn2]

can i marry you?

[JerkRant]

if you absolutely have to

[Hatsoffmusic]

Give it a chance to get going, and its awesome!

[PooterAKAPooter]

that was fucking sick. you just made that song your bitch. keep it up bro haha.

[ccrweezerccr]

Haha nice

[roxteddy03]

yoo r a cool mofo

[Ianwee]

this isnt half bad tbh!

[tux0ofunk]

hahaha dope

it's a strange take at it, but pretty good anyways xD

[younghulligan]

idk why people say your voice sucks and shit, get a grip people its a fucking cover, its not supposed to be the exact same thing. and oh yeah you should do a cover of wagon wheel.

[devilh212]

doesnt suit this song the voice. soz mate

[iamboredok]

the song is great, just

don't make the rap part as fast-paced and you should

be great.

[xcrcdx]

amazing!

[thepriestkitten]

At first, I thought wtf cuz it's a bit different but i love it.

[jessicalynne87]

i love it!

[CanadianPunker]

You don't have an awful voice. It's hawt. I'm not gay or anything... so I'm not coming on to you or anything... but ehh, you know...

Good work.

[062190]

You got a pretty awful voice to be honest dude.

[murrayman3]

good job man...i like how you give it your own style

[TopHat]

I really like it. Good job.

[davidfaeayr]

your fuckin brilliant bud well done ur folsom prison blues iz shit hot azwell i just bought a guitar lol

[tankednation]

you should have left out the rap part, thats' what makes the normal song sucks, it's so fuckn' cracky

[tankednation]

better then the real song

[Ghostbustax]

i like the way u cover these songs. u make them sound different. in a good way

[jay13jay13]

mate i fucking hate this song. but i tell you what i'm gonna play it now

[GreatjayQ]

dont like it... ur kinda offtone sometimes but i like your voice!

[JerkRant]

yeah... I know... I hardly practiced it... and my voice has been sucking for a while...

ever since i moved back to rome..

can't belt it out... my neighbours complain...

so my vocal chords aren't too strong

[surrenderthebooty]

awesome bro. very bowie

[dannytribe]

wow this is ace! can you tab it out fro me and send me it? that would be great thanks :D

[JerkRant]

look at the comment a few posts up... that's the best i'll do

[sanpaco13]

I hate this song and I want to beat up Gym Clas Heroes. Nothing against you though.

[JerkRant]

yeah... it's pretty overplayed... lol

[sanpaco13]

Seriously.  Kudos on the guitar playing though. :)

[jeffreydeguia]

you are a bad ass dude can you tab this out for me?

[JerkRant]

it would be very random... as the finger picking part I never actually sat down and figured something out... it's just something I do...

I can tell you the chords I use...

capo on 4th fret... and the chords are

chorus:

Am G F(barre) Em G

Verse(and the rest):

Am G F Em

chorus I pick and lift a few bass fingers and hammer down sometimes

the verses I hit the bass note of the chord... and then I slap and mute the strum...

[jeffreydeguia]

THANKS SO MUCH MAN!!!!

[JerkRant]

then there's that rap part which is the same as the intro thing I did... and uses the same chords as the verse except it's finger picked instead

[Chrispklisburn]

rofl, hell yes, this songs so damn catchy i havn't been able to get it out of my head. and the fact that my only subscription did a cover of it is like, perfect.

well done man, it's a good take on it.

question, do you ever play electric?

keep it up.

[JerkRant]

I used to... for about a year... but not much... elarnt some iron maiden... some slayer... and obvs some metallica... whom I don't really like... but they have a lot of neat riffs...

never delved much into soloing ans tuff though... but I didn't ever play it much... I was always out and about with my acoustic

[Chrispklisburn]

lol fair enough, got agree about metallica though, i play electric.. and even though i can't listen to them, i can't help but learn some of their stuff.

you should totally like do a singing episode or somthing.. like just go round with your acoustic prefrebly singing your 'toilet' episode. hah.

[classican]

very good

[Hucedonfhonics]

wow. this makes me enjoy this song.

How long until you post your original shit, man?

[JerkRant]

I did post one original song.. but it's more along the lines of cheesy love song... hahaha... and I do have my own stufff... but it's like fast punk on acoustic... and it's not so captivating unless drunk and singing it live... hahaha

I'm working on some more mellow acoustic pieces right now... I just need to sit my ass down and work on the lyrics some more

[kas78B]

i like it..its an interestin' twist to a first rate song..good job
