I Alone - Live Acoustic Cover

[guardianofdeth]

can you please tell me what tuning you are using

[jamezheart]

@guardianofdeth

Hey mate ... I am tuned down a semi-tone same as the band.

So instead of EADGBE you'll have EbAbDbGbBbEb.

Cheers ... James

[guardianofdeth]

@jamezheart THANKS

[jamezheart]

@guardianofdeth

PS. If you look at some of the earlier comments I have posted the chords

[3BliNdMai5]

This is beautiful. Before my dad passed he would always sing this song for me since I was a baby, along with "Lightning Crashes". It's nice to hear someone else sing it with such emotion. Thank you. :)

[jamezheart]

@3BliNdMai5

That's really sweet, thank you so much :)

[guardianofdeth]

what tuning did you use

[TheAngella74]

*sigh* how perfectly lovely, thank you.

[jamezheart]

@TheAngella74

Awww ... stop spoiling me !!

Seriously ... thank you ... you're very sweet :)

[cierrafickes1]

Cheers .. james :)

[LoVe1HaTe1SkAtE]

bloody beatiful man! keep up the great work!

[jamezheart]

@LoVe1HaTe1SkAtE

Thanks bro ... big cheers from Aus :)

[jonov29]

James - Thanks for this - Defo pointed me in the right direction - Together with your vid i should piece it together. Keep rocking!

[jamezheart]

@jonov29

You're welcome ...

So if you tune to Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb with your tuner and play the chords along with the video or the original song it should all fall into place.

By the way I play the Cmaj7 like this ...

6 5 4 3 2 1

X 3 5 5 O O

Good luck,

Cheers ... James :)

[jonov29]

Hey James, love your work mate. Live is one of my favourite bands - I can;t find a Tab that comes close - Do you potentially have one that you could share? It will be much appreciated.

[jamezheart]

@jonov29

Thanks bro ...

Sorry, I don't do or use tabs, I play by ear ...

But here's some stuff from a similar request below which may be helpful ...

"Live tune down a semitone ... probably why you're having a hard time working out the chords

Verse: | G D | C Cmaj7 | etc ... | B | B G |

Chorus: | E B G | x 3 | A |

Break: | B | x lots"

If this means nothing to you then check out my website (address on my channel) ...

Go to chords for "Selling the Drama" ... let me know if you're still stuck :)

[jamezheart]

@14Blunt You're welcome :)

[BeerGrylls101]

@ilikejdmtlk

Thanks Casey :)

[k8tieoc]

Ok, it was just a thought:) but I still think u cud do it ;-)

[jamezheart]

@k8tieoc

Thanks for the confidence in my abilities :)

[krayonne94]

Wow, i listen to a lot of covers, but this is 100% by far the best vocals and guitar ive ever heard. Great job man keep it up!

[jamezheart]

@krayonne94

Thanks man, that's really cool of you to say :))

[k8tieoc]

all ur covers are excellent! I was thinking that u would do a great cover of Longpigs, On& On.... it's a great song and w/ your voice and acoustic guitar, i know it would be beautiful......just saying:-)

[jamezheart]

@k8tieoc

Love your sentiment ... but wow that song's way too hard for me :((

Yes I know my limits ... my ego is under control :))

Thanks again :)

[k8tieoc]

One of my all time favorite songs! I didn't think it cud be any better but ur version is just enchanting;) keep it up, ur a real talent!!

[jamezheart]

@k8tieoc

"enchanting" ... that's new ... and very sweet ... thanks :))

[bronwynsutton]

Wow do you ever rock! Very blissful for my ears :)

[jamezheart]

@bronwynsutton

bliss is good .... I need more bliss :))

[densityman1]

Great job on the cover of Alone. Throwing Cooper was one of the best CD's of the '90's. Would like to see you tackle some Better than Ezzra songs. :)

[jamezheart]

@densityman1

Thanks man .. that's for sure !!

Never heard of them ... will give 'em a listen :)

[TrustedPhayte]

Darn you and your awesome covers for distracting me from work I should be doing, haha. I wish more people did covers of good bands like this. Have you ever considered doing a Creed cover?

[jamezheart]

@TrustedPhayte

Dammit !! Get back to work !!

(You know I appreciate it LOL).

Ummm ... used to really enjoy playing "My Sacrifice" live (in full rock band) ... kicked arse!

No time for covers at present however ... and I'm not happy !!

[TrustedPhayte]

@jamezheart You'll never make me! Again, I'm going through your covers because you commented back, haha. It's 1:35 am here, and I have another 2,000 word essay on Hamlet theories to complete before later today. I'm going to fail lol

Ah, damn ): When you ever get a spare moment, I would definitely love to see a Creed cover mister! (:

[jamezheart]

@TrustedPhayte

You already know that I was going to say "I know !!" ... but obviously I couldn't get out of this one cos it doesn't fit ... grrrrr!

So ...

Since we're now in the future, either you pulled your finger out (hmmm) ... and put in the effort, or your 2,000 words faded away into nothingness and you had a great night's sleep after all (notice I didn't say "and you failed"). Essays ... bleah!@!!

Maths = right or wrong! End of story ... no essay :))

[dgsjr67]

Well done. Not a really difficult song, but a lot of people don't do a great job with the rhythm. You did.

[styme33]

outstanding cover. now, we all must wonder, why didnt we think of this riff, this idea, these words...?

[jamezheart]

@styme33

Cheers ... I know ... welcome to my world where I'm trying to round up some idea that hasn't been thought of using lines and chords just as simple ... grrrr = no easy task !!

[MsTaktik1]

Absolutely love it!!!! :-). x

[jamezheart]

@MsTaktik1

Love it !! :)

[ernieevh]

great job, really really great job.

@jerrybob18

There's so much cool music out there.

Drives me nuts!!

Thanks Joelle :)

[croteaumarc1]

[MasterSquirrel100]

damn bro i love it again XD can ya put tabs on yo webpage? i wanna learn it. and im thinking about buying the same guitar you use in the cover you did take a picture. can you tell me anything good about it?

[jamezheart]

@MasterSquirrel100

Hey bro ... sorry I've taken so long to get back to you .. I'm way behind in responding to messages and stuff. I wasn't expecting the flood at all. I don't do tabs but I'll help you with the chords and stuff if I don't get time to put the stuff on my web page as planned. That guitar got stolen so I'm playing an American guitar at this point but I'll fill you in on the weekend ... OK ... thanks again my friend for your passion .. Peace and love ... James :))

[MasterSquirrel100]

@jamezheart No problem man i understand, got hella stuff to do never have tine to get on here. Aww that sucks about the guitar, and that would be hella cool to get the chords. Thanks again friend for everything.

Peace

[jamezheart]

Hi Alex, here are the chords man ...

Guitar Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb instead of concert pitch E A D G B E.

Chords (All barred): Verses: | G D | C CMaj7 | repeat as necessary.

CMaj7 is like this ...

String 1(open) 2 (open) 3 (finger 4 fret 5) 4 (finger 3 fret 5) 5 (finger 1 fret 3) 6 (not played).

"Leave you there by yourself ... " is | B | B then G right before chorus |

Chorus: | E B G | x 3 Then | Asus2 |.

Bridge: Lots of B's then G going into chorus.

Hope that helps ... Cheers James :)

[sweetjess321]

[samisphat]

[jamezheart]

@samisphat

Hey man ... thanks heaps.

No I am tuned down a semi-tone like the original.

I've been meaning to post the chords on my website but haven't got to it yet.

There is some potentially interesting information along with the chords for "Selling the Drama" on my website though.

Check it out (the address is on my YouTube Channel). Let me know if you need help.

Cheers, James

[samisphat]

[jamezheart]

@bootylover1231

Thank you very much :)

[dannyhooley]

Gr8 rendition of the song, James.

I wish I'd written it myself, because if I had, instead of Ed Kowalczyk, it would have been written for Candace Cameron by me, and I would have performed it exactly the way you did. Kudos.

[jamezheart]

@dannyhooley

Ha ha ... excellent ... thanks Danny ... peace bro :)

[PurpleLoki]

Wow, I feel like I'm watching a video of myself in 5 years. You've got the same exact look going on I do. But more importantly... that was amazing. Can you share the chords you had on this?

[jamezheart]

@PurpleLoki

Ha ha ... thanks bro :)

There are some good comments on the chords down below starting from @katinaars then @sickink2 from 4 months ago.

Wicked cover man. Saw alot of comments saying you should be signed. Normally laugh at comments like that. The part at 2.20 would of wrecked alot of attempts of an acoustic cover of this, but that was flawless. Keep it up dude. your song choices are great and your the best of seen cover them.

[jamezheart]

@BryanHayes23

Thanks Bryan ... cheers man! Really appreciate the sentiment.

I will be posting originals soon. I hope they don't suck otherwise I'll be stuck doing covers forever LOL :)
