Yankee Bayonet cover (The Decemberists)

[VreemdeFogel92]

im frustrated figuring out how youre doing thew intro PLEASE TELL ME aaargh

[baraka1408]

@VreemdeFogel92 This may sound confusing but it's the best I can do >.< hand position for C. walk up the A string 0-2-3 strum C with your pinky added on 3rd fret, B string for Cadd9 (i think) and hit the open high e at the end. Switch (quickly) to Am with your first finger hovering over the 1st fret B string ready as you'll hit the B string open, then fully fret the Am strum strum with the finger off again, then 2-0- on G -2- D

[VreemdeFogel92]

@baraka1408 i will figure this out, thanks you so much! Also for the quick response, that is extremely sweet and if i weren't clear before: excellent cover! :D (why else would i want to copy ths particular way!0 FANSTASTICC!

[squishybird]

I think the foot wiggling thingy is cute and the description of this makes me sad:(

But the cover is very awesomey nonetheless:)

[OuiArentFrench]

Whatever it is, I like it.

I'd be honored if you'd watch some of my videos and tell me what you think.

[OuiArentFrench]

You wiggle your toes when you play guitar.

[jupitermakesmecry]

this is acctually a really good cover!! good job!!

[The3Weeping3Child]

i actually kinda like your voices better than the actual recording hahaha. you two blend soooo well, which makes the harmonies that much better :)

[KarleeMetzger33]

great job guys! very talented!

[pootube200x]

[AustinTylerRIP]

I laughed so hard when I noticed your foot doing it's own thing lol

[gorramdoll]

[dogmaticcat]

Great cover, guys

[AkitoTsubaki]

Great job. :3

Best Cover by far :]

[Sadonite1]

Great job you two!

[trinityby7]

Great job!

[CookieVideos]

wow, that is an impressive rendition. though uneventful, the vocals are very good. :]

[rebeccandhawk]

this is great :)

[auudreyvicious]

Stellar guitar.

The vocals are lovely.

The girl looks a bit uncomfortable though.

[gorramdoll]

she's probably just concentrating

[AmericanZero13]

Sounds really good!

[ianferrell08]

I enjoy the fact that there is a guitar chords poster in the background

[poppygib]

that's fantastic.  great singing you both. and excellent guitars!

[corneliousjd]

Nice recovery at stems and bones, can't even tell you forgot the words, just sounds like the guitar was overpowering for a second thats all!

[jimemarsden]

She's a dyke anyway.

[UnthinkableAlcohol]

all the cute ones are...

Lucky me!

hahaha

[Villageiddyit]

@jimemarsden it saddens me that you have to judge that chick instead of appreciating the music she's making.

[mrsbinkie]

YOU are such a light in a world attempting to be dark. Your friend has a beautiful voice as well.

Blessed, I tell you...

[kadencee]

gosh, your amazing. i love all of your decemberist covers = ]

i think my favorite of yours is 'The Apology Song'

and it would be WONDERFUL if you did 'Shiny'

= ]

[Ramik]

Awesome, really quite good.

[MellifluousMarisa]

Go twelve string guitars!!

Awsome work.

One of my faveorites.

[IndigoShaman1988]

Hopefully you dumped her because you're the talent of the group.

[MagnuzArnason]

[Loofpapa]

this is fantastic..well done. I like all of your decemberists covers.

[HackfleischPeter]

its not easy to sing "the decemberists" but you two did such a great job. Your voices act together like Ben Stiller and Owen Willson ;)

[littleglassbead]

Wow, this is really impressive.

I like it alot.

:)

[timmymayes]

Sorry about the souring of the relationship at least you got a good cover video out of it. ;p

[PunkyDrumrChik]

I'm amazed by the fact that you actually used a 12 string... Great job.

[baraka1408]

Thank you for noticing! I wanted to do it right!

[peridotwindow]

This is so brilliant. You are insanely talented.

[lindakoplovitz]

I am a 55 year old woman. This is my favorite Decemberists song and you two do a lovely job.

[zebracardeath]

thats a sweeet twelve u got there

[okunion25]

would it be rude to call you lying, cheating, childish, ex-girlfriend an odalisque?

[whattheberger]

unfortunately i was on my way to the city to see the decemberists and i find out that they canceled their next like fifty shows..so i may have to settle for this but still i really loved this..big fan of all your covers

[richardstanley]

I quite like this cover, esp. the contribution from your lying, cheating, childish ex-girlfriend!

[AegisXLII]

Can you recommend a good set of tabs man? This is my next project. (Definitely a reach, but that's how you get better, right?)

[baraka1408]

Try indieguitartabs DOT com as that's where I've posted a few decemberists/Tarkio tabs. It has more and better ones than any other site I've found. I haven't viewed the tab for this one though.

[westy40]

Good job on the song! Cool songs on your website and it looks like you've got an awesome new girl now.

[Bates233]

Yeh, she doesn't seem to have her heart in her signing, like you do.

[roswell600]

You have a great voice and your guitar is really smooth in this. I didn't notice the mistake until you said you made it. Excellent preformance. Nice job. Way better than anything I could do.

[SirDanielMcLean]

Hahahahahah, I love the description of this cover...

[lucimon84]

your ex seems bored while singing, but you seem to enjoy it :D

[baraka1408]

Check my cover of "Engine Driver." She's so damn lame.

[sumi37]

wow - not an easy song to sing. very nice. Glad you're happier now!

[costanzajw]

Awesome stuff guys! love the song, love the Decemberists!

[jasz1976]

[BorrowedHeart]

Oooohhhh. This is too much. So beautiful. I love it. Fantastic job to the both of you. It sounds so gorgeous. Wow. Just... wow. *amazement*

[tweedsocks]

Seldom do I watch covers, but this was quite impressive. Great job

[rashhuman]

Good job - I normally avoid watching covers on here because I always cringe, but I liked this. Do the decemberists use a 12 string on this one?

[baraka1408]

Yes they do. And thanks for watching!

[thatsmyaibo]

Great work on the 12 string. Sounded good.
