Layla Cover- The Witchdoctors

[DaBears5501]

very nice cover guys!

[officialjljones]

Hey everyone, it's me , Jeff (the guy on the left). Sorry about the distortion. It is pretty rough. Thanks for all your comments. I posted a video response- the video w/lyrics for my song "Chasing Rain" which is the single from my first record, available now on iTunes. Check it out and let me know what you think! Cheers.

[ContactResearch]

James and Jeff great job ! If anyone would like to learn to play Layla or any other rock blues tunes with Jeff's guitar teacher James Pamplin please contact us !

[novatice]

too much distortion, but like it anyway

[Tapiola2007]

Nicely done. I enjoyed the outro section the most!

[poloman301]

love the amp and distortion



[reidharr35]

@poloman301 you are the first

[mattathyah]

shit sound... please redo it though

[dp3productions]

i thought this was sick. Layla's a fun song but i can never get the begining right. i always slide one fret down. keep it up

[PickOfDestiny89]

All the guitar noobs stop hating! This is sick! Keep it up!

[BillyTheKid995]

skifooooooooooooooooo

[junpark1995]

turn off distortion

[1ruble]

turn off that distortion pls :)

disgusting distortion tone

like housefly )

[theoffspringrox77]

@1ruble or use less of it

[1ruble]

@theoffspringrox77 then watch it dude ;)

watch?v=7R5aqRj_MN4

[niv39able]

hey that gay satanding over there ,,,,can`nt he control his distruction ,,it`s too noisy

[Katja144]

I actually like the distortion. Would love to do a "harder" cover of this song.

[ping235]

what is this amateur hour

[baz0k]

lol, can't play with less gain? :) It destroys feeling of this tune. Not bad playing. Keep on rockin :)

[deivis9494]

too much treble

[katon102]

its good just on the main riff u stop the 10 fret to early

[white3506]

geez. turn off that distortion

[bop10uk]

bloody hell, that was good.

[kaliedoscopesharinga]

i wanna here someone play this with a les paul to see how it sounds

[SQUASHem92]

it sounds pretty good for the rhythm, but playing the lead sucks

[john73a]

what amp amp are you using

[AndeDK]

Rythem guitar is doing a nice job there - what chords is it?

[DannyEJW]

Chords for intro/chorus are Dm, Bb, C, Dm

[malorfreak89]

i love that distortion thats the way to go nice job

[asm1]

I could find myself liking this if there wasn't so much distortion.... the rhythm is good, and the two guys obviously have talent. Its well done BUT the distortion is a pain... literally.

[yoshifirebird]

There is nothing wrong with the distortion if you look up "layla live" here on youtube the first one will be eric clapton and in his live version he uses more distortion but he doesn't overdo it. However I don't care for the rythem guitar it makes it too "funky"

[AoEFreak54321]

whoa whoa lay off on that distortion....

[StopTheMoti0n]

the sustain!! what kind of guitar is that (which strat) and how much did it cost you?

[StopTheMoti0n]

GOOD JOB ON THE VERSE SOLOS!!! i hate the verse solos, hard to play, and they are just backround noise, well done

[GuitarHero89]

Hendrix, whats his distortion level? ITS OVER 9,000!!!!! I got a disease, and the only thing that can cure it is more distortion!

[SplinteredDildo]

I've got a bad sense of humor, and the only thing that can cure it is original jokes. After reading your comment, I'm still dying.

[StopTheMoti0n]

lol, agreed, distortion is a little much

[m0nk3ygir]

XDXDXD ITS OVER 9,000!!! What?!?! 9000?!?!

[benno491]

very good!

[Jgh013]

what are you talking about?

U2?

[TriViAnDiSgUiSe]

the 2 people in this vid

[omni1366]

the distortion is what made it sound more unique. you have too listen more to fully hear the song. i loved it and would not have liked it more if you had performed it any other way. Perfect to in every inch of the song!!!!!!!! Lovely!

[redwhitelectric]

go light on the distortion but niceee

[hierdingensundso]

great job :)

a bit too much distortion..

[TheTrooper80]

nice :)

[BijhanS]

great job man! thats a hard song to improvise over u did a pretty good job though!

[thegreenonionuk]

get your volume sorted out

[GuitarMasterGraeme]

indeed! or an amp that can take them decibels.

[onkelbuke]

wow, fantastic.

[lakebay]

awesome cover but clapton has more feeling when he plays

[Henqli]

very nice :o but lead has too much distortion :)

[frilliam2]

oh god... sends shivers down my spine... good work, you made Duane Alman proud.

[carsandguitar92]

duane allman? this is eric clapton dude. derek & the dominoes? not the allman brothers.

[thewitchdoctors]

duane allman played on the Dominoes' album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs as a sort of guest player. He did the slide work on the outro part.

[frilliam2]

he did the slide on the entire song, dude. the intro is him too.

[lulz666f]

Duane and Clapton made Layla.

[thechampishere99]

amazing bends on this man.

[Ands2990]

kinda boring that u sat down but good cover.

5/5

[kaliedoscopesharinga]

how do u pull more sutain out of your stratoaster?

[adroitgenius2]

Wow good lead

[moseby9]

i think its almost better than the live version on youtube...

[jasperbeardly]

that was cool but off

[guitargodccr]

you were slightly ahead and behind the rhythm the whole song

[DuckyNear]

MY NAME IS LAYLA

=DDD

[Conger245]

woah, is that eric clapton himself? ha ha jk, but good job, really good cover, but everybody knows nobody can match clapton, keep rockin though.

[alexjugon11]

could you please post the chords of the second part of the song?

nice work

[BMWxM3xGTR]

do you mean the outro? i know most of the chords for it. dont bother looking for them online, trust me, those chords are hard as hell to find.

[alexjugon11]

that's right.

[stalebread31]

your lead is a beast

[Miladkhan]

motherfucker

[saftelskeren]

i like the version, without hte lead solo, just the singing better, but this was awesome, 1 tip though, only put a little bit of distortion on .

[laxen1891]

[bibijul]

[kzone92]

[hord50]

[thewitchdoctors]

Hey everyone, thanks for commenting and for all of your positive feedback. Just thought we'd let you know that we have a new video up, check it out and let us know what you think.

[mackok12]

sounds like Eric Clapton just playing

[Eighteen2008]

yo man this is great a few endings sounded a little off but maybe it was cause of the slight key or speed shift but its awesome man keep up the good work

[darahs]

This Is So Good :D

Best On Youtube ,

I Know Its Anoying To Hear , But Do You Have Tabs??

Or Where, How Did You Learn It?

[thewitchdoctors]

thanks man. i would like to help you out but this isn't tabbed... i just play. the guy playing rhythm taught me and except for the signature "Layla" hooks and lead lines i'm just soloing.

[darahs]

Really..:)

So Your Just Soloing In between, Its Just Made Up To The Rhythm?

Thats Good To Hear CUS THATS SOO COOL :D

But Bad Cus Then I Cant Learn It :P

Alright Then AMAZING,

I Think This Song Is SICK :D

And Your REALLY GOOD!

[theblackpiglet]

where is a good place to buy mexican fenders from? all the local music stores around my area only carry the american made ones

[jfelix94]

i have a mexican deluxe players strat that I love. i had to look around for a bit but if you keep your eye out you'll find a good mexican strat somewhere

[illJD23]

not bad but you use a bit too much fuzz distortion. you should either use less fuzz or a different type of distortion.

[thewitchdoctors]

yeah, after i saw it i thought the same thing about the fuzz but at the time it sounded good.

[ctx52x]

Wow! great job! 5 stars from me. check out my version if you got the time.

[stealmysweaters]

[Zaftig49]

[fecape10]

coool beautiful

[thewitchdoctors]

thanks

[shortytall6ft]

Distortion is used for people that dont know how to play real guitar, they do it so everything is blobbed together and u cant hear mistakes. but this one sounded pretty good

[WireBrains]

Honestly, if you can't hear any mistakes through the distortion you don't have ears worth having, c'mon dude...

[shortytall6ft]

thats what im saying. there's a ton of mistakes in this one, but with the distortion it covers them up.(a little)

[pianohero117]

no they use it cuz it sounds cool

[shortytall6ft]

Yea ok buddy, go play your piano.

[malujesusfreak]

well i would like to see you play this song, fully mistake free

[thewitchdoctors]

well you see it's not as easy as it used to be- wink

[malujesusfreak]

haha!

[thewitchdoctors]

besides, don't you have a capo to be demonstrating or something? (...ha)

[shortytall6ft]

never said i could, all im saying is that most people use distortion to cover up mistakes buddy. also i dont wanna play this song mistake free, i would rather play it my own way, or make my own song. got it... as-hole.

[jonas4556]

easy on the Dist there my friend ^^

[Sonolin]

Hey man, I subscribed to you hope to hear some more awesome vids in the future :)

[TheRantingBrit]

Apologies, my bad, I take it back, I didn't realise you were referring to a comment and not the video. I'm sorry.

[davothebum2201]

[thewitchdoctors]

i would but i don't use tabs, least not on this... sorry. but there are some good ones out there, friend of mine has the Cream of Clapton songbook and i believe that the tabs for Layla in that one are true to the original Derek and the Dominoes take...

[flammingcarrot]

did you just buy that Stratocaster?

[thewitchdoctors]

nope, i've had this one for about three years now... plays good.

[flammingcarrot]

why the blue sticker still there?

[thewitchdoctors]
