I gotta admit that I thought that this was gonna be a huge piece of shit that made me rage like never before. I was wrong. Damn good. You didn't butcher it too bad ;)
That's a really nice take on Zevon. I am going to share my thought here, and believe me it's a compliment, but it reminded me of what Led Zeppelin might have done with this song if it had been around circa "When the Levee Breaks." Only Plant would have played some blues harp along with ya!
Apologies to Warren my big ole butt! Man that is awesome. I like it better than the original. Way to go! Maybe one day I'll be half that good. I can't stop coming back and viewing this video. Very very nice.
thanks mr. walters. the apologies were for taking it from the brilliant structure if the original. but, i couldn't figure out how to do it like he did it. So, you just wing it.
Dude, this is an awesome version of this song...what's the chord progression? I know it's dropped D, but I can't figure it out from the vid...I wanna learn this song so bad. thx!
Sorry. It's D, F, Bflat and then a barre on the 3 and 5 fret in dropped D. I think there's also a C and G in there, but I don't know much about music. It looks like Chicken tracks on a sheet, and I can't even read tab. Hell, I can't even play air guitar, so I switched to air drums.
Not a big market in air drums, but I could should show Neil Pert a thing or two... :-)
I agree I rarely like covers, because most covers lack talent, I have watched this video 3-4 times a week since it was at 1300. I think he has made it his own,and I am a huge Warren Z fan. This has soul. and yes my shit has been fucked up.
Clearly heartfelt. Well-executed. Please don't be offended by this word of advice: put a shirt on. Ever since the advent "Cops", the world associates shirtless guys with someone being dragged from underneath an unmade bed to face the full power of the law. Otherwise, very nice.
Well, actually an extra 5 strings because one of the high E's has been missing awhile. But yeah, I decided to break out the 12 string (well, 11 string) for Warren; it just sounds better (a la Learning to Flinch).
Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Nice cover man. That;s an awesome bluuesy sound u got with that guitar ad the vocals r pretty good too. Zevon is an absolute musical god, it;s nice 2 see people coverin him on youtube like this.
Yeah, I was surprised there wasn't more Zevon up here on the ol youtube. But I plan to have some more up soon, so I'll do my part to get more of this genius on here.
And the old joke is that no matter what I play it's usually always bluesy sounding :) I even have a bluesy take on 'Till there was you" from the 'Music Man' musical.
Yeah I;m plannin on puttin some Zevon on here soon 2. I play the mandolin and I found the chords for Mohammed's Radio so thats gonna be uploaded pretty soon. Again man great cover keep it up.
I've watched this video for the 3rd time today. I feel like I might be addicted to your tasty\bluesy guitar playing. Good work dude! keep em coming. wtf One more time
Nice. Just nice!
