WOW ! Did you learn to play it by ear or how ? Would you tell us ? Would it be too much if I asked for a tutorial ? I think many of us would enjoy it so much :)
It's well performed technically but you can tell he's got no real connection with the material, there's a lack of conviction that can only be portrayed when you have internalized the material, Good performance though keep at it.
:) loved it. i really want to cover Say it to me now, but have a hard time playing all the fancy stuff... :-/ Now their song Leave, I think would better suite my voice, but you did awesome!
impressive stuff man. Love how people hav the guts to sing these songs that makes even artists like Glen hanserd vunerable especially with the amount of passion thats needed to sing this song. keep it up.
Nice cover man... I hat fukin playing in coffee houses man..damn barristas? and random people always making noise in the background spoiling my mojo while I play!
nice. i've been searching for covers where people actually scream in the latter part of the song. thats the point, thats where all the emotion in the song is. nicely done.
in most cases its damn near impossible to be as good as the original... but this attempt was far from sucking. you need to keep your negativity to yourself.... or else sing/post a better version
Hey man, really really great stuff you're putting up, please please please keep adding to it. =]
And if you ever get the time I'd really appreciate a tab or just the chords you use for this one. I'm too scared of breaking strings with Glen's open E tuning...
oh yeah, i cheat it with a much simpler drop D... i can't reliably hit those high notes in E, and i don't wanna have to re-tune the whole guitar to play it. so i just tune the low E down to a D and transpose the whole song down a step. hope that helps!
oh man, I remember trying this song in open E tuning. I hadn't replaced my strings in a while, and when I got to the chorus and I hit that e string hard there was a few stinging seconds and a nice little welt on my hand. :P
So my last account was "btmzx", and when I changed channels, I remembered that I had resubscribed to yours. So I came back and had to listen to this. I love it, man. You never cease to amaze me.
ha, well i've been playing for twelve years. it only took about six months before i could actually play a song and sound like i'd hoped it would though. start as soon as you can and be diligent, practice for at least an hour a day for the first year or so.
Drop D is the tuning, same as standard but the low E is dropped down a step to D. for the chords, I figured out the song by ear and then wrote my own arrangement of it in drop D, since Glen plays it in a non-traditional tuning. thanks for the comment
i just saw the movie yesterday and this song was one of my favorites. you really do do it justice (granted you put your own spin on it) - more so than any of the other covers i've seen.
That was great. How do you play it? All the tabs I have found tell you to put your fingers on the 12th, 11th and 9th frets, but I noticed that your fingers are more on the first 5 frets.
hey, thanks for noticing! haha, this is actually a differnet arrangement i wrote, it's all standard except with the first string dropped down to D. i believe he plays it in E and i can' reliably hit those high notes in E so...had to change it up! haha.
hey, thanks so much! i'm really glad you like it :) i've seen some people do it without the ending and it just doesn't work, that's what makes the song...though it is hard to pull off the energy in it...i don't feel that i get it quite right.
thanks a lot for the comment! i hope you like some of my originals too :)
yea i agree with the person below me i love this song sooo much im gonna do a cover of it and i hope my guitar is as good as urs and like the chorus was really good
it takes alot too look at that and be like oh well i dont have to yell i could just sing it in a higher note for the chorus like what u did took balls
I am SO glad that you gave this justice by doing the screaming part. I mean... that was simply amazing. I could very well subscribe because of this. Great.
well thanks a lot! i'm really glad you like it, it's one of my favorite songs, and not just from the movie. i hope you do subscribe! and if you get a chance, check out some of the original songs up in my profile too :)
hey, thanks for the comment :) i haven't figured out the best way to type out the chords, but i'll do my best and get them to both of you today hopefully!
Haha, oh man, no one was supposed to notice that. You've got good ears. Sorry, it's just kind of an ongoing joke with my friends 'cuz we watch the Office a lot...and the boss is always makin' those jokes. Thanks for the comment :)
sorry, not sure what you mean, it's not an original song, but it is kinda my own version of it :) thanks so much for the comment, i'm glad you like it!
thanks a lot for the comment :) i can't do it quite as good as the original of course, but i do like this song quite a bit :) i'm glad you like my cover, thanks!
yes indeed it is, it's my first and only guitar, i've had it over a decade now and it's never done me wrong :) seagull is a great brand, congrats on your! thanks a lot for the comment too :)
E is a little high for me so i sing this one in drop d. the tuning's standard except for the bottom string getting dropped to a d instead of a low e. thanks for the comment :)

it's different because it's still loud and full of emotion but it doesn't have that gritty sound as though you're stressing too much
