[nationalpost00]

well done

[Interitus86]

whoa, totally feelin it

[Scrotemeister]

Great job man!

[TheHawkdaddy]

I love the capo in it, gives it a richer, more summery if you will, feel to it.

[rugshort]

That's great Magnus any tab? Could you post the chords?

Thanks. Jason

[RammaLama]

I speak for all of Canada when I say this kicks ass.

[AsSeenOnCCTV]

Bra jobbat! =)

[sloanmidwestXTC]

Good job man, really quite a good job

[shootthemoon86]

another fag with an acoustic ruins a great song

[sloanmidwestXTC]

@shootthemoon86 shut up. 

[jstahl76]

wow! you just impressed me a whole lot and really made my day!!!

thanks!

[strapped6]

god work

[fhc24]

Thar's Great!!! This is one of the best covers I have seen!

And voice It's like Paul Westerberg singing this song.

Five Stars!!!

[kc7fys]

Your English isn't bad! Sounds a bit funny capoed up, but it's a good tune.

[kyburnses]

Freaking awesome. My hair is standing up - great reminder of how this fantastic song imprinted on me oh so many years ago. I was wondering if you would be able to replicate Bob's riff near the end!

Great job!

Thanks!

[hangur1974]

Fine interpretation of one of my favorite songs. Well done.

[joestrummer2007]

Wow... really well done dude. I love the dynamic in the guitar work. And what's better, I know all the words to one of my favorite songs... I love Husker, but sometimes you just can't tell what the hell they're sayin! lol

[FablesJonny]

interesting way of playing it. nice though!!

[lifterlegandpoker]

I fucking love Husker Du! Great cover man.

[houstonveer]

Best folk guitar since Simon and G.

[AlternativeMarco]

You are a genius!!!! Very good cover of an amazing song, well done!

[RenegadeFeedback]

Sweet mate! Love 'em and best job ever....so hard on acoustic too! Thanks!

[tbaernthaler]

miss the solo though, which is one of the greatest solo in rock history.

[tbaernthaler]

well done! respect. bob should see it...

[ianc77]

Duuuude, this is sweet. You got the whole soft-loud thing down pretty effing well!

[communistromance]

dude do you have a tab to your version?? its amazing

[Warnomore50]

Not bad at all but way too easy to play without a capo so I don't know why you chose to do that especially on an acoustic.

[mtengdahl]

Quite easy to answer that one... First of all, it allowed me to lower the key in a simple way. Secondly, it gives another colouring to the song compared to the original.

[wot2wot2]

that was really good.

do you know the chords for green eyes.

bare in mind im just a beginner.

cheers

[billingtonbobbington]

excellent

need to play it/hear it right now.

love the lilting/ picking bits

you love this song almost as much as me ?

Well fkin done

Sort the ending out though. Mould killed it with a top outro

[billingtonbobbington]

shit

[cordehni]

i liked your cover dude, kudos for you :)

[treblam2]

great cover. one of my ten fav husker songs. I play this song too (without singing). try the the intro it's easy. very good.

[spacedrum33]

I don't remember the last time a YouTube video caught my attention to where I watched it from beginning to end. Celebrated Summer has been my favorite Husker Du song since high school. You did an amazing! job Magnus.

[shallwego]

Dude you fucking rock

[chunkluv72]

Wow! That kicked ass! One of my fav Du songs. Great acoustic version!!

[doomybaya]

oh awesome, nice version!

[fallsmatt]

I'm a huge Mould fan, and this is really an amazing version of this song, Magnus! Thanks for posting it. I've watched it at least a dozen times since you posted it. Keep them coming!

Btw, Husker Du is pronounces WHO-sker-DO (the Hu part and the Du part rhyme).

[rudydamang]

Wow this is awesome! It's cool to not here it played just like Bob plays it. Keep up the good work.

[mtengdahl]

Nice that you think so! Cheers!

[bikerider1999]

Forget the capo it's not so high. It does make it easier to play but it sounds too capo-esque.

The main part is all open chords-as this is what made husker du good for bands at the time. I saw it recorded.

D, Cadd9, G, A, Bminor, Cadd9, G with the flourish to a D to start.

Also the intro-which I do not know and cannot play is played throughout the song in place of the main chords.

I don't know if this is what you thought to hear magnus. But there it is.

[mtengdahl]

Well.. Actually I know how to pay the song the way Mr Bob Mould does.. More or less. But what's the fun in making an identical cover?

[andyfromsheldon]

Amen.

Good job dude.

[p4horror]

Good playing man! THanks for the lesson. I've always loved this song.

[gordiont]

wow amazing

[fuckwithfire1984]

Nice! =P i love it!!

[ShysterBoy]

Thanks for posting this song! It sounds even better acoustically!

[billyboyb]

Magnus

I love your work! The best way for me is learn a song is to watch some else playing it, hence I have speant all afternoon watching this fantastic version of celebrated summer learning how to play it. Any chance you can play See a little light from Workbook and post it? - I have speant a while looking for Tabs / Chords, they're all shite; it would be very much appreciated if you did.

Keep rocking in the free world!

[MusicNerd]

Yeah! This is really good dude. I appreciate the choice for a cover too. Keep it up!

[lstaton]

awesome cover.. and nice cd collection too!

[mtengdahl]

Thanks! Yeah, cd's and lp's are good shit! A different feeling from mp3's...

[lstaton]

awesome cover!! and nice cd collection too!

[mushroomheadsquish]

good stuff. one of my all time favorite songs.

[gunnohd]

Interesting use of the capo.

[mtengdahl]

To lower the key compared to the original was a good idea. :)

[velocet8]

good chops,good tune,good band,good lad!

[mtengdahl]

Yes indeed! :)
