[tuliplove642]

your voice doesnt sound like the original but it's still AMAZING <3 <3

[TheAlchemist718]

Can you make a tutorial? Very good job by the way,,,

[locomotivepro]

bloody f chord !!

[vlogition]

Does anyone else, genuinely, hear the "oooo" from the start while he's playing the intro?

[skatedivona]

Nice cover, enjoyed it

[mfdangerdoom899]

Does the carpet match the drapes?

[JOP4Ever]

OMG the guitar sounds just like it!!! I looked at alot of covers and this is the best!

[alvifegan]

Dude your voice is indeed beautiful. Never quit singing, don't know why but i feel you really got something special with your voice, something to make it through. Keep on

[GnomeWayJose]

ohhh do i see bob dylan on your wall?? :D

[AudreyAudio]

I love your voice idk what that dudes talking about. lol ur beautiful & so is your voice & guitar playing & taste in music!

[MegaJusto]

Dude... That DID NOT SUCK!  You sound like Jack Johnson. Great guitar and vocals on this cover.

[DeeyaSophia]

Best cover of this song I've seen yet.

[kennyeret]

great job man. Is that a Yamaha? We have the same guitar I think

[heath3rhorr0r]

the cover was beautiful, as are you ;) 

[meadone]

@heath3rhorr0r undeserved!

[heath3rhorr0r]

@meadone <333

[gregsey99]

This is an awesome cover.

[Malus16]

you look really hot. i like your cover. but much more your face.

höhö.

[jibberishjabberish]

Great cover. You have a beautiful voice!

[ilovesudan]

man u should record a proper song u have a really good voice

[glamourkillsbrea]

i love this .

could you do an instrumental.?

id love to sing it .

[stashadog]

Good job! I did notice that you speed up at "I danced like the king..." perhaps tapping your foot or a metronome would keep you on. If you get a chance I would really like to see the strum pattern, maybe add it before the lyrics in the info box? Thanks!!!

[eamon305]

aced it :D

[ZNuMbA1GmR]

not the best cover ive heard of this, but not the worst either

[robertkerfoot]

How could this be an 'acoustic' cover? The song itself is acoustic.

[ReenWhisky]

Good !

:-) Like ur Version , Your Voice & Your Hair

You are Goodlooking , too!

;-)

[SgtPitt]

omg! it's shaggy from scooby doo :P

[juliettecharmante]

It is really beautiful! I wish I could make something just as good :) congratulations! can't stop listening to you

[meadone]

@juliettecharmante Thank you :) I'm very happy that you can enjoy something I made.

[SgtPitt]

omg! it's shaggy from scooby doo :P

nice cover though man :)

[MrUzzibear]

i like your voice.. you sing very nice..

[TheLonelyPotato]

Hey man, you're pretty good. I just listened to the original and then this one and I think your singing actually makes it more interesting because the original is a bit too repetitive in my opinion. The variation improves the song.

[jax00000]

@xtreadsoftlyx I wasn't trying to be evil or anything. Look, meadone, since there are a bunch of people who like your voice, you don't really have to change a thing (but I guess you already knew that). It's just a musical taste thing, maybe. Maybe I'm just stingy with mah voices, I don't know.

[imyours121]

giving my honest opinion, I have to disagree with Jax00000. I quite like your voice. ^^ VERY much. :D

and i do agree with everybody that your guitar playing is very good. :D



[Lizy501]

oh yae and i agree with the tutorial :D youre awesome :)

[Lizy501]

i really like your cover :D and your Dylan poster ;)

[jax00000]

hey, sorry to be negative, but just being honest. Your voice is not very good. Your guitar playing is good. Stick to guitar.

[meadone]

@jax00000 Ha, thx for the honest opinion

[dom182]

@meadone Your voice just needs work (Still good), don't give up on it, I bet when you picked up the guitar you couldn't just play it, it's just like any other instrument, practice, practice, PRACTICE! ^.^

[xtreadxsoftlyx]

@jax00000 Didn't your mother ever tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? This isn't even helpful criticism, you're just being a hater.

[xtreadxsoftlyx]

@jax00000 Didn't your mother ever tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? This isn't even helpful criticism, you're just being a hater.

[hirschman1]

@jax00000 actually i think his voice is really good. 

[Browncoat1138]

@jax00000 I think he has a good voice, it's just different from Mercer's. It's down to taste. I think he's done a good version of the song, his voice makes it his own. And I can actually understand the lyrics now, unlike when Mercer sings. Good job, dude.

[JinzoCreed]

@jax00000 Ok you don't like his voice, tasts are different^^ I like his voice and playing very much.

[lazyonthebrightside]

@jax00000 i think his voice is fine but has potential to get better

[Cnat123]

Very talented

[saimawesome]

this is great, i do like your voice, and your playing is fantastic.

the only thing is that i thought you made the song a little too...bouncy. I think the song was intended as a little more melancholy.

[jensa9]

@saimawesome I think that he needs a new mic... :D

[G7TWPNYXJ]

dude! please upload a tutorial!

[hcbaseball2005]

when did the guy from pete and pete learn to play the guitar like this...nice job

[ZippitDK]

nice played , + your voice fits the song : )

[jillibean7]

very nice!

[caais2307]

this is absolutely amazing, unfortunately the recording quality isnt as excellent as it could be

[BrettsProstate]

u fucking own.  omfg nice fucking job

[bocabeachgurl3]

wow... your voice fits perfectly to the song and the guitar sounds close to perfect :) nice cover

[reap33]

Awesome! I was just searching how to make a good cover of this song, n I think I'll follow your way. Really good!

[carlysmiles99]

I love your voice with this song. This is an amazing song and you played it very well. :)

[sam3224]

honestly ur very talented....... its seriously the best new slang cover ive heard..... ur very good at guitar!!

[meadone]

@sam3224 Thank you, I'm so glad you could enjoy my take on the song.

[pastruff]

I LOVE YOUR VOICE!

[mebaby94]

i love the bob dylan poster in the back, and this was really good =]

[sam3224]

[wideeyeddaisies]

Your guitar and voice are wonderful together. You're a classic, old soul.

[LifesHavoc]

[chuckles10100]

[koriepfrank]

[rocksinyourshoe]

Marry me! Please?

[meadone]

sure, why not

[Biggs534]

great cover! keep doing covers!

[ClareT994]

Im tryin to learn this song but its kinda hard cuz it sounds like they use a electric guitar with some kind of fuzzy mute. The strum is also a bit difficult. You've done a pretty good job with it tho.

[Rhiannonfawn123]

i love you.haha well you're voice and you're scills.:)

[InTheBlackAbyss]

Ooooh good job!

[wzachmorris]

fag

jk you did get a little gay singing it but you killed it

[FallenTrees1]

[Canadiannerf]

Fuck my sister. I did not post that, that was her.

[superdowell]

wow your good im trying 2 lurn that song and uv helped me lurn it a bit thanx =)

[meadone]

That's wonderful to hear!

[Canadiannerf]

May I just say that I love you hair?

And you have a very honest voice.

[meadone]

That's a great compliment, thank you.

[felixshengyang]

[coocoo4267]

The vocals were ok, not awesome, but this is the best guitar cover i've seen so far

[JSARNBASKETBALL]

[Sparrow15]

I'm in desperate need of the picking pattern here. Anybody want to help me out?

[Martlead]

Pretty impressive dude.  Good job.

[ElsieePops]

Awsome :) There's something really nice about your voice... But i cant put a finger on what it is :L Still, Its Lushhh :)

[chickachickaheadshot]

nice dude.

[cynthiarocks9]

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries..... ^^

[PRJohnnyT]

Sol7 Do Fa Do Fa Do Fa Do Sol for the high part (refrein)

[PRJohnnyT]

La- Do Fa Do Sol7 Do La- Sol7 La- Do Fa Do Sol7 Do La- Sol7 Do

La- is La minor.

just go with the music and those r the cords he plays untill he starts singing, then its the same.

[Z4ub3r]

Awesome can you say me the chords pls?

[sommergirl92]

This is my favorite song ever.

&& you did great =]

[Zkunis]

amazing.....

[OhDoyProductions]

bob dylan in the background =]

[Ichundmeinwind]

Great! but can you tell me your strumming? I can't figure it. thanks

[tiedyedragonfly23]

Hey, this is great! Your voice is very distinct and if you're playing this from memory, excellent! It would be great, regardless.

[sheisparalized]

beautiful voice..

[forsalot]

3.14ever

[miawallace1993]

you actually look my dad when he was in his youth

Really good cover though...

:D

[akshatsingh89]

excellent cover mate!! regards from india....

[eskc486]

since its a soft song you need to slow down. your going too fast. 3/5

[SimonCowellThe2nd]

Ive gotta say,,, i loved it. You could go far in this competition!

[deborahisthenewblack]

lovelyyyyyyyyy.

[vidorians]

Very good =)best cover I have seen in a while.

[ToadlyCool]

The Shins is the best band ever!

[idr0su0n0]

[xtreadxsoftlyx]

[sierraaawrr]

@xtreadxsoftlyx and ears

[agayterrorist]

@xtreadxsoftlyx its called an eargasm

[gennayc88]

awesome job! really great

ps. sweet posters :)

do you think you could send me the chords?? i want to learn it ! sounds sweet

[dmgggw]

It was really nice to listen to, was pretty =), but between 1minute and 1.30, you seem to stumble through with the guitar. Something was amiss, not overly sure what though.

Stunning Voice

[meadone]

Yeah I realized during my performance that there was a solo at that point in the song so I jsut kinda tried to wing it.

[dmgggw]

Well, at least we can all be assured you can improvise. hah.

congrats

[orcularspectacular]

amazing

[ToxicSweetners]

woah! I just melted, your voice is great

[CincinnatiKid33]

less eye contact, i kinda got scared there for a little bit. great job though!

[xkkaat]

it is amazing.

[Nimmerz13]

excellent excellent excellent!! i like the the voice too.. super soothing if that makes sense?

[rsc3]

GREAT JOB!

[TheShoreline]

oh hey i just noticed your bob dylan poster

[TheShoreline]

YOU'RE SO HOT DAMN

[danoco14]

Nice job man.  Maybe try not to forget the lyrics. I've been working on this one for awhile, I think you could add a foot tambourine and foot drum and sound amazing. Like the way you sang it.

[meadone]

yeah if i knew it was going to be so popular i would have def worked on it more!

[Tomjeremiah]

thank you!

[Tomjeremiah]

hey nice job! it was great. Could you tell me what chords your playing?

[meadone]

Am, C, F, G. Those are the only chords.

[confusedimified]

nice job, love this song

btw i have that bob dylan poster :)

[txslonghorns032]

nice job dude

[drowningheadfirst]

that was really good! nice bob dylan poster!

[charlie8675309]

good cover man. dylan in the background is pretty cool, but it would be better if it was jakob dylan instead hah

[kouthoops21]

what kinda guitar yo? i think i got the same one.

[hellnbk]

The best New Slang or even Shins cover so far. Congrats!

[bennyboy0908765]

Well the version of the song that I have is in G minor, and I've been able to play by ear for nearly a decade. Maybe I've got a different version of the song

[MesaBoogieLonestar]

uh well when the shins play it its definitely in Cmaj, the guy in this video is playing it right.

[OhDoyProductions]

i love you

[bennyboy0908765]

Good! But you do realise that on the record it's performed in G minor rather than A minor

[meadone]

The chords are identical to the recorded version, not that key even really matters at all

[bennyboy0908765]

You're right it doesn't matter. However I still feel that on the record its G minor. Try it. Good cover still

[brightcabfire]

GREAT cover

[ssnowtrouble]

I love this mate! You seem to race a little if ya dont mind me saying but that's only something i noticed NOT a criticism by any means! you inspire me for definite! nice1!

[OhDoyProductions]

very good

[CoppolaCopy]

Great Cover. Nice Job

[Darksaberx]

its an open E and an open A then 3rd fret on fifth string then 3 and 2 on 5th string im not meadone though but thats how its done. Excellent cover by the way.

[Darksaberx]

its the bass line that you asking about. but its a sweet fill and excellent improvasation.

[swc2325]

very well done, one question about the transition b/w the intro and the verse write around the 30 sec mark. what exactly are you doing, im trying to watch, but for whatever reason i cant pick it up...once again great job.

[Sylviascloud]

Good Greif! What a voice and clarity. My nephew played bass on a cover of New Slang. He's posted at Sylviascloud. Hearing you I get the song as I'd not heard it before his and your postings. Thanks so much. Keep it up.

[hockeypunch162]

not bad... not bad at all

[homerbees]

Mate,

this was an awesome cover. Well done, I'm adding to my favourites!

[NewSlang25]

excellent job. this is one of my fav songs. you should cover more shins songs. kudos

[Sconts]

Great job man, keep it up.

[melanieann122]

great cover!!

great pic of dylan aha

[danster650]
