[jonhowdle]

Brave choice of cover. Brilliant though.

[GrooveTooth]

[MrS40d]

Better than the original



[rXXXzimmerman]

... sheesh. marry me?

[krisclaw]

you sound great on this... i saw you tutorial for this song but didn't have time to follow it. I figured an easy/lazy way to play it using C, F7, Am, and G... anyways, great job. it sounds awesome.

[David559er]

Do you have an album out? If not, why not?

[Drewtheskater]

Absolutely incredible. Your voice is beautiful.

[carolinecbr]

Awsome. You sound beautiful.

[AuraStudios]

YES ANOTHER MARTIN DC AURA OWNER!

[katieboeck]

@AuraStudios i love mine!!!

[ShortRoundmusic]

Wish I'd have found this before your set at the Blue Frog!! You totally should have done this as well :D

[ManicMeredith]

I went through various Holocene covers and yours is my favorite by far. Your voice is so clear and sweet. I can feel the emotion behind the song when you sing it. Simply beautiful.

[rejectedchik89]

Just listening to this on repeat right now :)

[intermodulationbill]

Beautiful!

[rejectedchik89]

Beautiful, dear! I connect well to this song, too.. as I do most Bon Iver songs. He's just that kind of artist I guess. His songs always sound so vulnerable. Anyway, keep doing this. You're great at it and passionate, too.

[Avassmusic]

This is my favorite cover of this on YouTube...makes me tear up every time 

[zchinnah]

This. Is. SO. Friggin'. AWESOMEE!!

[jaspervt25]

Wow Katie,

You just blew me away with your great voice and guitar.

Normally I never react on Youtube but this time I could leave without any comment.

I love this song of Bon Iver a lot but your version is at least that beautiful.

Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

goosebumps!

[danclintongarnett]

Well done Katie! It's honest, true and compelling. Your voice is beautiful and haunting just like Justin Vernon. It stirs the deepest part of one's being - the soul. Thank you for joining the community and sharing.

[dobate]

Beautiful version Katie! You really own it.

[zzzave]

This was amazing. I would love to here a skinny love cover done in the style of ed sheeran. You'd blow birdy out of the water.

[DJElliotS]

I've been trying to learn another way to play this, thanks to your video tutorial, I can't put down my guitar...I hope you're happy

[jimlahey90]

thanks katie... let your room be messy if it means this

[storminspank]

This is straight up phenomenal.



[joeyisamusician]

So pretty! Amazing cover, largely due to the fact that I can really see 'you' when you sing.

[Nizlopi2]

This is fantastic. Well done.

PS: Random question, but I couldn't place your accent. Sorry if you're not, but are you Irish? Northern Irish?

[Nizlopi2]

@Nizlopi2 LOL...I just looked at your page and you're from California. I'm clearly a good one at guessing accents. You have a really good voice anyway.

[cyclonefan80]

This is an absolutely beautiful cover. You've done an amazing job of grasping how beautiful this song is and still adding your own loving touch. Awesome work. Keep this talent going!

[flowersarealive]

woww..thank you for that and the description

[adamichaelwest]

Wow. You just blew my mind. Amazing cover. I can't imagine it being done better.

[HannahThomas100]

PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL! I WILL LOVE YOU FOR EVER.

[purpleplasticcup]

[shepenjoy]

[gramcraka101]

Very very talented, and what a great song. Spring Sing isn't the same without you.

[zednotzee18]

This was a "magnificent" cover! If you could please send me the tabs, that would be awesome. This is my favourite song from the album and I've been dying to learn it.

[onethousandsteps]

Absolutely wonderful.

[micdom]

I know you know you're not magnificent... but your performance was anyways.

[tstvdhp]

absolutely beautiful!

[GwenEams]

Great cover, great voice! Thanks to for @MrHoratioSanz for the link.

[katieboeck]

@GwenEams whoa! sweet.

[thestarsnatcher]

I think you all neglect to realize that Justin Vernon is very much into country. So quit your h8.

In other news, this is lovely. Don't stop singing, please.

[UhmBr00k3]

Countryish sounding voice, wouldn't have thought of that for Bon Iver, but it works beautifully. :) Excellent taste in music, keep it up! I'm teaching myself guitar as a hobby and hope to one day be able to play Bon Iver :P

[RebeccaMUSICx]

lovely x

[sbgirl2686]

I love it baby girl. And your room's not that bad ;)

[demizius]

Btw, its hard for me to like a cover when the original is so good but damn, i've listened to this over and over, you do this song justice :D

[demizius]

great voice, i like how you have a good tone but your voice is still raw in a way, thats original ya know. great job.

[cdigdawg]

First of all, great job. Second of all, clean up your room. Sheesh.

[katieboeck]

@cdigdawg too busy playing guitar...

[cdigdawg]

@katieboeck the more that I listen to this the more I think you're making a good decision. fuck the room. keep singing and playing. :) Love it Katie. Thank you so much for posting.

[jorihaar]

Raw talent. Just guitar and vocals

You'd make Justin proud

[RobinKB]

[petertran92]

@BonIverSUCKS

I usually think these Youtube covers are cheesy, but this is very impressive.

[amh1010]

Fantastic cover

[fireeyedb0y]

F*cking amazing!! (Excusez les mots)

[moffa18]

Hey this is a really good cover.. i really like your fingerpicking pattern and ive been trying to listen to your cover and Bon Iver's to suss it out but im still a little lost.. Is there any variation in the tuning?? I know its hard to explain in words but whats your picking pattern?? thanks heaps

[katieboeck]

@moffa18 its sort of a travis picking pattern. i just figured it all out in standard tuning i'll try n explain!

capo is on 6th fret.

the picking pattern is 4 2 3 2 3 2. those are string numbers.

so for the first chord its index finger on 3rd fret 2nd string (b), ring finger on 5th fret 4th string (d). pluck 4232 and remove your ring finger and place your middle finger on the 4th fret 3rd string (g) and finish the pattern with the final 32

[moffa18]

@katieboeck ah wow you explained that well haha.. i think i have got it... thanks heaps :)

[katieboeck]

@katieboeck ive been getting a lot of tab requests and i don't actually know how to tab. but maybe i can make a video playing the pattern once with the guitar in view so you guys can learn. didn't think i'd get so many requests! its awesome. so happy you guys like this :)

[scottfash]

@katieboeck

That would be greatly appreciated. You did an awesome job.

[scotttgold]

@katieboeck Brilliant, straight up brilliant!

Can't stop listening to this. I've been trying to duplicate your results and it seems the instructions provided might be off. Is there anyway you can elaborate or record a closeup of your hands?

Thanks for this! Just subscribed!

[katieboeck]

@scotttgold how-to video is posted!

[katieboeck]

@moffa18 hot-to video is posted on my page!
