Good job, but I think you're not playing the legato parts in the correct position. If you listen to the record, you'll hear (for these legato parts) that the highest note bleeds into the other ones.
That's achieved by hammering the first two notes and playing the last note on the adjacent string (instead of the same string you started on).
hey this is really good, the one thing i'd suggest is: slowing down and being patient with the music. you seem to reallly rush it. just a friendly suggestion. Great cover!
@Bearswin8584 Kinda hard to know if you're gonna like the album if you can't listen to it...you'd try other things before buying them, why not music? Twat.
@fisteecuffs itunes previews, grooveshark.... besides, if you are a fan of Bon Iver you would support like or not. Its fun having a full collection of music from an artist. I can tell you personally, the new album is excellent, I love it just as much as For Emma.
@Bearswin8584 Itunes previews are 30 seconds long, it's not enough. I don't know about Grooveshark but you're missing the point. Either it lets you hear the full song, in which case it might as well be on youtube, or it doesn't, in which case it's not enough. Yes it is fun having a full collection of music from an artist, but only when you actually enjoy the music. For Emma is a great album but there are plenty of 'second albums' from artists with a great debut which are total shit.
@Bearswin8584 If the album is good, then it will be worth buying rather than just listening to poor quality youtube version that you can only listen to with an internet connection. It's really not such a hard concept to grasp if you're not a complete moron.
@lxium did you try searching.... bon iver perth??? cuz uhh.. it's got like 60k hits on it... i have to imagine it just wasn't up when you left this comment...
Your cover is fucking amazing man. You isolate us in this incredible world that Vernon created through the medium of song. You deffo do this cover justice.
i was really wanting to dislike any Bon Iver cover following a certain someone butchering Skinny Love... but i have to say, you did a good job there!.
before i watched i was skeptical cos it was so short of time since the cd came out and you are already covering it. but A fuckin Plus dude. teach meeeeeeee
nice one, although I think you've overcomplicated it with the DADGAD tuning, I do it in standard tuning with capo 1 (without simplifying it) and if anytihng it looks like it's harder to play it your way. Regardless, i also love your Enchanting Ghost cover, you did that great justice.
@spraggon yeah that's a great song. I just figured out Towers, but I dunno if I'll record that. I might try Michicant, that'd work really acoustic and is a lovely song. I've pre-ordered the vinyl version of the album btw :)
@kruges146 thanks :) There's nothing to it, it's in DADGAD with a capo on 1st, then just mess around till you get it really, it's all pretty low on the neck.
@slapoftheklangriot thank you :) It's a Vox AC30, but I had to have it really quiet to the point that it was almost cutting out due to my camera's sound being terrible. The cleans on it are amazing.
wow.
