@legisilver My voice is my voice, Travis Meeks' voice is Travis Meeks' voice. I have a naturally higher pitched voice than he does. I'm singing in exactly the correct register as he does. It only sounds different because our voices are different. I don't feel that it should sound wrong just because I don't have a deep, raspy voice like Mr. Meeks.
@najix What's with this "Mr. Meeks" stuff? lolz.... Look man, I'm not poking fun here. And any good singer works on a developing a broad range of tone.
I'm just asking you to try it..... or not.... whatever....
@legisilver I say Mr. Meeks because I already said Travis Meeks twice in my comment. Also it's a respect thing as that man single-handedly inspired my own style of guitar playing.
I get a lot of comments about my voice being not deep enough or how it needs more baritone so this isn't anything new to me. I find it odd that you're saying it on a song that does not need baritone because it contains pretty much nothing but high-sung notes. This song is difficult to sing regardless.
@najix It's cool man, I can only hope of playing my guitar half as well as you and to be honest, your singing is possibly better. Don't sweat it..... hey, maybe someday we can do something together... .till then, have fun!
@MikeMusicMartin It takes a few days of serious practising, yes. It helps if you've first heard the song a billion times and know it inside and out. Then you get to the nitty grit and figure out where your fingers should go. What helps a lot is watching YouTube videos of Travis himself playing the song.
PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE!! can i have these tabs? i cant find a bootleg tab anywhere. your the only one ive seen play it this way...besides travis..and i cant get ahold of him. please can you send them to me?
Unfortunately I don't have a tab for this. I figured it out by ear by listening to the Travis Meeks live bootleg CD and by watching videos of Travis himself playing the song.
@najix so can you make a tab, it would be so nice. I know it would take a lot of time, but by the amount of views and people practically begging for you to tab it, I guarantee it would be worth your while.
Agreed. Do you have a good tab for this? Its one of my favorite songs by Travis. Your playing is awesome, voice doesn't work so well for this song though, but awesome job still
really splendid!, I'm learning guitar playing inspired by you. I check your videos from time to time, and always watch them for hours. Just wanted to thank you for giving me such times of inner peace, sometimes I can't even believe how talented you are, thanx man!
i agree with acewing bwt the blind melon idea..at least the softer melon stuff,,,try out "mouthful of cavities" from the Soup album,,,amazing song and acoustic as well
Dude! Have you ever thought about covering any Blind Melon? Your voice sounds alot like Shannon Hoon's. All your Video's are well played and have LOTS of emotion which will take you far. Keep on rockin man!
This is one of my favorite DotN songs and you did one heck of a cover of it :)
I've always preferred the Travis Meeks Bootleg album version of the song over the "Red" album version. There's just something great about that album. One musician with a guitar is all you need to make sweet music.
honestly , did you post this because you wanted to out do me? i was the only one till you came along...haha great job though.. have tried it without doing falsetto?
would you be kind to share the chord progression of the verse and intro - i managed to play/convert the song to standard tuning - but the intro/verse doesn't sound very good.
How is your tenor? Your singing is just too damned high-pitched. It's well-pitched overall, but just too high.
