10 a.m. Automatic-Black Keys Cover

[trobot35]

what i say is just let loose guys and go for it. couple of young lads jammin to the black keys, nothing wrong with that in my book!

[Gin4tonic]

This is for the drummer. Play like how the flip you want to play man, there are no rules of who to copy & who not to copy. Do what you feel is right for you little dude. Pat is an excellent drummer tho'. This is for the guitarist, you are very good at what you do & just keep going. The voice will come to you but just gotta keep at it! This is for the both of you, as a huge black keys fan I can honestly say that this is great cover & made me smile. Top notch! loved it.

[cottonballbullets]

the singing needs some work but otherwise its a pretty good cover

[StrickJay]

once again you guys are tearin it down ..Get some vocals and you guys will be even better

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

Oooo do "Grown So Ugly"

[jtdonner1]

holy cow you guys are great and sound like the real thing

[Louisthelongboarder]

u guys sound great except your voice. I just dont thing u got the right tone for the blues bro

[bLokexOner]

Oh my fuck1ng god i love your telecaster XD

[TenYearsGone10]

Great cover guys. I was wondering what you use to amplify your vocals? I'm all set for mics and what not, I just need a cab. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[andrewarden]

cool but the distortion isnt fuzzy enough

[gbott666]

check out my band's 10 am automatic cover on my page. its pretty fucking badass.

[ChickenFriedHamMan]

you guys need a singer lol, but other than that, you sound pretty damn good. I like seeing young dudes playing good music

[allenrh93]

dont listen to any jealous geeks. keep the fire burning you boys are great!!!!

[hockeynut002700]

nice cover guys, what pedal are you using for the distortion? nd how do u hav ur amp set? bass mid treb?

[cocoadelete]

I was at Dan's house yesterday, he would tell you to go for it more singing and to quit doing covers and work on originals.

[gwilym94]

go for some tone bender effects, sounds much better for keys sounds.

[henkiewessel]

your getting a really nice sound out of your boss pedal what kind of settings do you have it

[M011iY]

i thought the drummer's well good shame about the singing lol

[6eeyore9]

nice

[UberNoob33]

the guitar and drums are very very good.

The vocals seem very out of it, like your high almost XD

good job guys :) 5/5

[marcreevesmusic]

good job, got the guitar tone and drum style nailed pretty well. Just wish I could hear the vocals more!

[Crust218]

Sounds great, guys. Keep it up.

[iluvjackwhitemost]

Singing needs some work but the instrumentals are once again amazing!

[theeraserofnations]

good cover!

[tuber76er]

Nice one. Sounds good boys! Keep it up.

[ryandude1994]

ah, you play it how i used to play it, even tho it sounds better, it's slightly wrong, i'd put the correct way in tab here but i'm too tired to, great tho :)

[Sukainami]

Hahahaha, douche :P

[Sumggles]

Nice Job, i cant seem to figuer out the guitar solo though

[jah3030]

Cm pentatonic sounds good

[Colin2720]

Come on sing it like you mean it. It's like your just talking with rhythm.

[Chilling10680]

@Colin2720 lol, I agree, sounds like that supercomputer on Jeopardy

[danchen1982]

Fantastic skills on the guitar... Brilliant at the ending portion !

U need a better singer on your band though.

[simon11254]

needs a better singer

[alechair]

please get a proper singer.

i'm not saying you suck, but a singer will definitely give you the final touch you're seeking. guitar and drums sounds great.

[faazlh15]

uhhh

frickin sweet!

[JamesJonesexperience]

Great Solo at the end, im trying my best to work it out but i cant seem to get it sounding right. but your sick ive subscribed.

[adamb231]

you guys rock. get a singer though

[tatronic]

Nice

[Seanzo16]

i like how the drummer is completely out of the picture by the end of the video. great cover tho

[jrtaylor559]

Hardly what I'd call "soulless"

[rastamanitup]

nice bros you two got a really good taste in music this is the same stuff we play well done

[JasonCleghorn1975]

Nice playing. I like your setup. It's pretty close.

[guitarmasterrico]

a little too much distortion

[Evilnorman10]

u can never have to much distortion ,well... i dont think they over did this one

[jayrizzo89]

mind sharing the seeting you use?

[peppermints53]

how was the concert i wanna go to one!!!!!

[paaltely]

Great work U guys, keep pumping it out and never stop playing. Its your gift to you and the world.

[InsideOutRW]

always seem to impress me, keep up the good work

[shimmy307]

You guys are great! Just sing louder and confidently with the vocals. You've got the voice. Try making your voice a little rough if you can.

[scottiewazhere9407]

great job guys thts a killer sound for a just a DS-1 and a tele through a hot rod. HAIL THE MAGIC OF FENDER. but for some killer black keys tones look into a danelectro and an old silvertone amp tht will give u an amazing sound.

[ledzepzoso03]

dude awesome I love your black keys covers

nice work!

[gentry738]

teles rule...great sound

[HAMPTONPRODUCTIONS]

GREAT JOB!! If you were in LA I would use you guys for some events!

[beef7790]

awesome shit.

but why does your cam keep shifting to the right?

[Bancaer]

for the vocals - just sing out loud, if you can play guitar like that then you'll be able to tell if you're singing well. If you lack confidence singing, just search on youtube for some videos of Bob Dylan, especially at the start of his career. In tune about 50% of the time but still brilliant.

[jrtaylor559]

This was the first song I ever tried singing to

[odakueffect]

For the guitarist...how about letting us kow your setup. Sounds great.

[lolface524]

lefty...so radd

[elementalftball]

Very nice job guys, bravo, but gotta admit, vocals could use some tuning, but your playing the same time so I applaud you

[Maccaism]

fuck the vocals, great cover!

[migatoesgris]

NICE!! All i can say. Keep it up with the vocals

[snozberry123456789]

lefty......that is all

[Heyyodude893]

i thought every thing was excellent

[thedude888890]

dont listen to em christian

fuck heads who dont know blues/rock drumming or music in general will always talk shit

..especially on a medium that wont get their asses kicked

peace

[stephownsyourface]

fucking awesome job, guys.

just need some new vocals. no offense.

[irishcannibal]

very cool to see young people playing cool music instead of the crap that passes for music these days.

you like that sound that the keys are makin, get yourself some junior kimbrough records...thats where dan got that whole sound from.

as far as people telling you to find your own style, you are young...that'll come with time and lots o' playin.

[lostliljonboi1218]

this is for the drummer. You need to find your own style a little better. Pat is definately a cool duy to emulate, but you can't try to play just like him. When he bobs his head it's because he's in the groove. it seems like maybe your bobbin yours just to try to be like him and there is no groove to it. Your a great drummer though, keep it up. Try and find your notch

[elvenmidget]

Thanks for the advice, but I was just playing the way I usually play. I wasn't trying to copy anything that anyone else does, I was just playing my style, which I guess you could say is kinda like Pat's, but not as ridiculous.

[mets6891]

@elvenmidget

don't listen to the haters man. it doesn't matter what you're doing while you play, as long as you can play (which you can) i'm 18 and you play better than i do.

[frufair]

@lostliljonboi1218 i much rather see a drummer whos into it than a boring sitting straight drummer. btw nice playing

[blacker07]

good, the voice is fine.

but the best thing is the effort you put on playing. cause me and my band were sick by about the 5 months, and you have years playing toghether

[RexBrown]

so so, but not bad

[pinkxfloydx123]

not bad, i was impressed at the solo part and the fills

[skly24]

good but honestly get someone else 2 sing

[soyderiver10]

fuckin awesomeeeee

[apemouse]

Check out the Beatnik Bubba's version of this song. Go to myspace and search for beatnik bubbas under music.

[bigcountry4life5]

you have the initial power chord right, but then it goes F and C

[Calsurf123]

how old are you guys?

[eagletalon32]

yo dude killer ima drummer myself i stick with ludwig i have one just like patrick carney's this is a tireing song i play it all the time lol

[LackingCommonSense]

Okay, seriously... This fuckin' kicks ass! How long have y'all been playing? (I'm a guitar player myself). I'm adding you to my faves lol! Awesome dudes

[elvenmidget]

Thanks man, we apppreciate it. We've been playing together as a band for about 4 years now.

[busstopratbag]

Your drum kit is amazing.

[elvenmidget]

Thanks

[LobeWan]

love the drum kit buddy. that open sound is great. i especially love the bass drum.

[theredkatana]

I think the singer has plenty of potential but sounded too reserved/quiet. Don't bother looking for a singer just do it yourself man

[BartWashcloth]

yeah man, just get into and be loud!

[alechair]

you sound pretty good indeed, but you definately need a singer

[JHandRPproductions]

im in love with your guitar tone, but i use a fender tube screamer in the back of my amp and im only running from a crate 40 watt and a strat. but the black keys are an amazing band with an amazing blues sound and the tube screamer helps man. it gives a nice bluesy tone. i also use stevie ray vaughn texas specials single coil pickups, they deliver amazing tone too

[ACLedBeatle]

Think that guitar is high enough on you?? haha just kidding, sounds good guys.

[ev7001216]

nice man,nice tone on the guitar.

[d00derson]

the guitar was good, the drums were fairly good, the vocals could use some work. by the way, from what i can tell in the background it looks like you mostly use boss or digitech pedals. they are not very good at all. get yourself some electro harmonix, mxr, dunlop, and the like.

[MrTrews]

I wouldn't say those pedals are a good suggestion at all - they're equally as shite! These guys rock either way - good pedals or not. Plus, you gotta have a bit of money to shed out on shit like that - these guys probably only have a paper round or something...

[masonfain]

Who cares about the vocals my man, you guys play better in your teens than I could ever dream of in my 30's. You're my frigin heroes - don't ever stop playing boys...you're on to something. Keep covering until the music that you're born to make comes to you....be patient because it will come. You remind of a young Clapton. The drummer, a young Bonham. Keep it up boys.

[Stratocaster42]

Excellent job. Not to sure on the vocals though because I couldn't hear them, but it sounded alright :) Keep it up

[slick82958]

yeah you guys are good, but i'd like to see something of your own, improv is deff cool, when you have good enough chemistry in your band and you're all good musicians, improv is the final thing that decides if you're a band or not.

[s7713]

awesume sounds just like them

[SamSycamore]

you are pussio.

Brooklyn Bound rule.

;)

[dawgkiller]

a little work vocally and a touch of flair on the guitar and eyes closed i could have been listening to tbk!!

[LawGirl2008]

Um, wow. That's all I can say. For a TBK cover, you guys are really great. Plus, your age surprises me! Such talent! :)

[monsterstinker]

where do you dudes live? please say AZ....

[elvenmidget]

Sorry, TN

[monsterstinker]

aww fuck

[dzxox292]

wow you guys are just amazinggg!

my rolemodels

[Drew1234321]

lemme C a non black keys video of u guys... w/ Dr Drew lettin loose on the improv, then I can be officially jelous

[petofo]

u inspire me

[elvenmidget]

Thanks, we appreciate that.

[Sukainami]

Thats a great cover and an awsome song to choose, but would tell me how you get that distortion? I play guitar myself and I have had a hard time figuring it out.

[elvenmidget]

Boss D-1 distortion pedal

[Sukainami]

Thanks! Is that a DS-1 or SD-1? Also, what amp is that?

[elvenmidget]

You're very welcome. It's a DS-1 and the amp is a Fender Deluxe Hot Rod Tube

[Sukainami]

I KNEW IT! Today when I went to the music store and I used that same setup on an Epiphone sg, it sounded nearly perfect (Maybe I should have tried changing the tone a little though)

[djunks2]

Hey Hey. Great videos. I subscribed to your channel about 9 months ago. I show your clips to my two young sons every now and then. I'd love to see them pick up the guitar and drums someday. I want their music influences to be Jack White, the Keys, Kings of Leon, etc.

I play a little guitar and can make it through songs like "Your Touch". 10 am is my next project. Anyway...great work. Cool to see young people rock good music.

[elvenmidget]

That's great, I never thought these videos would make it that far...I hope they do take up music, it's a great outlet to express yourself, and starting them at a young age is even better. Good luck with your projects!

[lovelust992]

this is really good. nice work!

[neggosean]

why do people have to be such critics?

and say negative things.

guitar and drums sound great

[elvenmidget]

Thanks, and I agree with you.

[samisabig1]

lol i wasnt bein negative really. hav u seen their other videos. i can play these songs on guitar but gettin my brother to play the drums is a pain. im not much of a singer either

[samisabig1]

sorry guys but thats not as good as ur other videos

[elvenmidget]

Yea, we know. It was mostly just for experimental value. I'm glad you like the other ones though

[samisabig1]

yeh other ones are great (thickfreakness i like best :D). it doesnt mean this is a bad either i think the verse is slightly wrong (?) but yeh. uve got dan's tone down to a tee... how lol?

[style54109]

I mean to point out that I don't think that you've slaved away (yes, minimum wage dead end job kind of slaving) to buy the stuff in that room. Maybe you have though. I probably shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion.

[joshyboy152]

Does anyone know what the black keys usually use, guitar, amp, effects?

[elvenmidget]

They're guitar player usually uses a different branded Gibson SG, im not sure what amp though. They do all their recording through an old 8-track analog recorder. Hope that helps.

[style54109]

The Black Keys songs are really really simple so I'm not sure why people give you two so much credit. You don't look old enough to have bought anything in that room either. Sorry but I'm not impressed.

[aaattt123]

ur drummer is the bomb......and the guitar is pretty good. i play guitar, but i definately think drums are way harder to play......sorry yal

[treblemaker91]

You guys rock REALLY hard.

And don't worry about vocals, you'll get better with practice. 10 AM Automatic is also a hard song to sing well- Dan makes all his vocal parts sound easy when they're pretty tough to pull off.

[elvenmidget]

Thanks a lot!

[faggot16]

you should play more than just covers of one band. If you guys had original songs im sure they would be good.

[elvenmidget]

We do have some original songs that even I can say are awesome, but I don't want people to steal them if we put them up here without a copyright or whatever...

[DoctorTchock]

vocals sound a bit like stephen malkmus. great cover

[TheTosun]

Unbelievable man! Congratulations...

[enemy88]

awesome job

[slfaranda]

yo guys are amazing with the instruments my man... keep it up this is really good stuff.. you'll get those vocals dont worry

[raexn]

You two sound great. You sound like you're still getting used to singing and playing the guitar together. Keep it up, and figure out your vocal range.

[whattheberger]

you guys are the shit ive been watchin all ur black keys covers..im very impressed..i agree tho about the singing lessons or finding a singer..it would def take u guys to the next level but musically you guys are great keep it up

[alextrewhitt]

Good job you guys, keep on rockin like this and you will go far! I'd recommend getting some singing lesson to make sure you can nail the lyrics good and proper. Look forward to you posting some new material soon

[elvenmidget]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[Ghost1680]

i think the vocals sound good

[vrv1020]

you guys need to find yourselves a singer but the playing is great

[bouly]

Great Job ;)

[BlackLukeS]

just.. amazing 0_0

[619sam619]

I don't like your voice and how you play guitar, I think it could be better if you played with palmmuting.

[alextrewhitt]

Palmutting? No one has ever used palmutting when playing this track. Yeah his voice needs a bit of work but he's only a young lad. The guitar and drums sound great and to be fair, this isn't the easiest song to sing

[razead]

if you're so open to any feedback, why are you so amazed when someone's sending you a bad one ?

[619sam619]

If you want that your voice be heard, you have to sing louder.

[619sam619]

I don't like it, so I'm telling you that I don't like it because you said that if we don't like it we have to tell you that we don't like it.

[razead]

cause the people who think you suck don't wanna make you cry

[sicksicksick9]

your voice sucks and theres no point in just covering all the black keys songs.

[antonengdahl]

learn to palmmute!

[zeppelinrock]

that was awesome!

[pickslidin]

nice playing you guys. it was pretty much flawless. vocals (from what i could hear) were pretty good. keep it up!

[risenine]

nice job kids....keep it up

[Drew1234321]

ohh i sing too

[elvenmidget]

We all live in Nashville,TN

[Drew1234321]

Where u all from bring me into your band and add more loud guitar and lead to geta different sound than the keys... impressive

[vitradesk]

You guys are amazing. you're guitar playing is just like Dan's. My band can cover this song pretty well, but you playing is a lot better. Great to see a young band covering good music like the Black Keys. keep up the good work boys.

by the way, how old are you guys?

[tombrowningmusic]

Glad to hear you experimenting with vocals, Dan's aren't always the easiest. Look foward to more Black Key's stuff with vocals. Keep up the good work!

[SmokinJBN]

Glad to see you started singing. Their stuff isn't as good instrumental. You'll get your confidence after a while. Sing as well as you play and you'll make some money

[ShiBBy61271]

duuuddee u soo rock!!! my bands in the middle of learning loads of there songs!! there fantastic!! u been a great help :D! ur drummer kicks ass!!!

[lilburch4505]

yeah i have to agree w/ dyingbrain.. yell a lil bit. very nice job tho.. finally someone that actually plays some good music.

i like the tele by the way

[hendolecool]

man you guys cover the keys incredibly well, yeah when you get your lyrics down repost them and im sure everyone would have a listen, can i ask what you guys are fliming on the the sound is impressive for a home recording?

[elvenmidget]

Thanks. Actually we use a digital camera to record. Not a video camera, just a picture camera w/ video.

[tomyleft]

haha, we use a cell phone

[GoodMusicGoodMood]

Well done, I'm glad to see kids playing good shit

[vver]

and how much was the fender deluxe?

[elvenmidget]

Boss di distortion, I think the amp cost around $600

[vver]

what pedals do you use?

[Zq12N37w]

damn. yall can play.

[imfrombg]

the vocals almost make them soun like the kings of leon or sumthin everything else is good though

[sonicsurfersmodest]

great job vocals need work but whose dont you know I love it man

[dyingbrain]

the drummer rulez and the guitar was good but the vocals,come on,man,scram,hollow otherwise u go under,don t be shy and SCREAM.you sound like u were stoned.

[misterscamp]

Good! Good. Holler a bit more. Do that and you'll be in the kingdom. If not...well, you will suck. But you are the border of not sucking...that is a GOOD thing.

[CoastieBoastie]

It's coool.. how do you know, what kind of effect pedals you have to use?
