Amazing cover!!! I wish I could actually figure out how to play it like he does. It's in some weird alternative tuning. I like what you did with it though.
@TrustNo121000 It's actually just standard tuning with capo on first. The tabs are the first link when you google it :P (although the tabs say capo on 9th he plays it on the first live anyway)
@Vicious2008 Yeah, it looked like he was playing it with a capo on the 9th when I saw him but it sure looked like an open tuning based on how he was playing it.
@Vicious2008 I'll need to check that out... it looked like the second guitarist was playing with a capo on the first and he was playing with the capo a lot higher.
you are completely amazing!!!

What effects do you use for your main vocals and for your harmonies?
renagadex2 6 months ago
@renagadex2 Nothing out of the ordinary - compression and reverb and EQ. In this song I think my EMT 140 plugin is adding all the flavor...

I love this. In my opinion, it is approximately 8.53x better than the original. Do you have any more songs done in this style?

The accompaniment is novel, the pop vocals don't do justice to the song. And, "I listen to the strings bus"?

@Turtleproof It's "I listen to the strings buzz." Same as what Sufjan sings.

Great job but this style of music doesn't fit the meaning of the song at all...Sufjan had it the way it was for a reason...
penkacik 1 year ago
@penkacik In a way agreed, but obviously this guy is making his own interpretation of the song, not just trying to copy Sufjan.

@TrustNo121000 It's actually standard tuning. He plays it live with capo on first and album is on the 9th I believe. Google has the tabs :P
