Semisonic - Closing Time Cover

[anadalite]

was ok, aside from ur tone mate, I didn't like that at all. Also you are distorting your mic when you sing loud, your guitar is too loud for your voice and when u hit the chorus you are tyring to sing over it, dont, turn the guitar down. tone is everything, volume is irrelevant :) (assuming its loud enough to hear haha ) tweak ur tone, consider your recording and this would be pretty awesome :). And who cares how difficult hte song ur playing is, its your playing do what makes u happy

[GreenDayRoxer1]

@anadalite thanks for the criticism, but I didnt sing in this song at all. What you're describing is probably my pedal. For the verses I used the same tone but with less gain, and for the chorus it was the exact same EQ settings, but with full gain. I'm not sure how you're hearing extra singing though.

@thebrandonlitey4

Welcome to the jungle is easy to play. Try playing anything goes by guns n roses

[TheBrandonliteyr]

@GreenDayRoxer1 sry bout that bro its a better cover than what I got lol. The reason I said something was cuz my friend who also is a guitarist takes his index finger and thumb putting them together and makes a pick like that and I thought u were doing that so yeah again sry for the mix up bro and rock on. Ps if possible could you do a welcome to the jungle (guns n roses) cover or a riot (three days grace) cover? Thanks

[TheBrandonliteyr]

Just a suggestion from one guitarist to another..... When playing this song try using a pick

[GreenDayRoxer1]

@TheBrandonliteyr I am using one, maybe it's hard to see but im 100% sure that i used a pick in this video

I see what you mean thought i was holding it a bit weird back then

[TheBananaketchup]

"oh how I love Green Day. hmmm.." *puts up a Green Day poster* "closing time.. blah blah blah on every boys and every girls"

[millsenator]

you got a cripled looking strum going there. idk could just be the angle

[GreenDayRoxer1]

@millsenator yea i see what you mean, looks like it, but at the time I probably couldnt tell :p hopefully its better now.. i've yet to record a new vid

[lookersd]

i got same guitar lol only mines left handed

[Eevolion]

vietdoan20062006

[JokersGoil]

Speaking of Greenday, the very beginning of this song sounded like When I Come Around. :)

Overall, I loved this cover. Very good <333

[GreenDayRoxer1]

yep haha everyone says that even i thought that too XD

[enigma307]

Awesome

[pingfl00d]

hell yeah!

greenday rocks!

-sorry to be so obvious

haha

[Laubstir]

...this is not green day.....

GTFO WITH THAT SHIT!

[manmcman01]

try palm muting till the harder strum.

thats what i do and it sounds wayy better.

[GreenDayRoxer1]

ok, thanks for the tip :)

[IanG224]

i like the shiny guitar

[babooking91400]

a little hard but nice

[halfmanhalfbeast22]

Great job!  You will go a long way playing guitar! Keep it up!

[zaguini2]

que lixo!!!

[dudsz]

uasheuasheuahe pode crer

[GreenDayRoxer1]

there is.. but its not very heavy.

[TheJackFactor]

Nice poster in the background.

[Luisguitarrista]

easy easy easy

[ellmerrfudd]

good cover you should use palm muting during the chorus listen to the song and you'll see.

[pieswithgirls]

Nice. I have the same guitar.

[tonyb1511]

Yeh, that guy is a dick. You are a good player. Don't listen to people like him.

[koolwithak88]

don't listen to that guy...you play well and im sure with passion...some assholes just want to bring others down...

[HarryBramz]

Nice, you clearly know how to play a few chorrds for a while, try singing, oh and don´t wear a shrt with the american flag on, it realy does not help with the playing, or viewer happiness. If you do a cover, don´t play the song in the back ground, it ruins it cause you´re not realy covering it you are just playing along with the song, which anyone can do, the song isn´t just about the guitar, it´s about the passion and the singing.

[GreenDayRoxer1]

lol k thanks for the advice i cant sing for shit, and i didnt have guitar-pro at the time, so if I just played w/ out the song then it wouldn't sound very good

[HarryBramz]

I can't sing for crap either but i still try and it sounds better than it would otherwise and a played it at a mini festival on acoustic, it sounded fine, just make your voice work with it. Play or sing it differently if you need to help you.

[weiszed]

"oh and don´t wear a shrt with the american flag on, it realy does not help with the playing, or viewer happiness"

Not everyone hates America like you do. And it's just a shirt, don't be such a tosser

[GreenDayRoxer1]

thanks for the positive response, lol im not american just to clear things up. wat u said is appreciated

[geins47]

i do love usa!

[AllayPlusYergo]

i would say 'the whole song is 4 fuckin chords' but you did a really good job so i wont hahah

[Shawk132]

G* - D* - Am* - C* (4x)

[mercougar]

[zeasapjeau]

[nomorefood54]

I will give you this...guitar = very shiny! lol A little high though isn't it?

[cracksmackinator3000]

congrats you can play like the easiest song ever

[GreenDayRoxer1]

lol well not the easiest song...

[jcjr87]

definitely not the easiest song ever. That award goes to "Home" by Breaking Benjamin. Or virtually anything by Green Day or Linkin Park.

[Zechozen1]

anyway, this song isn't that hard, i've been playing for 2 months and i can play it with the solo, nice cover:)

[GreenDayRoxer1]

[GreenDayRoxer1]

[stealurface1976]
