[rob042]

@beauchampy I did flag that up in the writing at the top..! I would love to be able to sing in harmony with myself though... thanks for watching!

[fleurjonie]

I have to say thank you! The video you made with lessons of this song helped me a lot! And now I come here to ask if you can listen to my cover and say what you think about it. Remember: a have learned with you, lol. Kiding... It´s still with many troubles, but i´m testing my voice and guitar.

[cbroach39]

Thanks for the how to vid! That was very kind of you. I'll work on it more when I finish Grad school. Only 4 weeks to go!!

[cbroach39]

Great job! I would appreciate a how to vid. I'm getting stuck in a couple of spots. Thanks

[rob042]

posted a how to, just for you...

Hope it's ok, and thanks for your kind words!

[sokseb]

hey man, awesome job. I've been looking through that tab on ultimate guitar, learning a lot by watching your fingerwork.

[rob042]

Thanks a lot man, if people want I could do a "how to" vid.

it's not that complicated, but the fingers hurt for a while while they get used to the G(ish)-G6 change!

I listened to this song a lot, and there are actually three guitar dubs on the song - , so even they cheated when they were in the studio!! The one I play is the closest I could get to a solo rendition, with two guitars you need the 0-0-0-9-7-10 (to start with at least) arpeggio part to give it some depth...

[simonfowler81]

@rob042 It would be great..............

[marimerari]

As a norwegian i find it funny that you learned it in switzerland..

[rob042]

why is that? I lived there for a while, wanted to learn some songs... do Norwegians not like Swiss people? I guess Norway is probably the same amount of beautiful as Switzerland... Hope to visit soon!

(remember they sing in English and they read the Guardian (an English newspaper) - so it's pretty international!

[marimerari]

We like Swiss people :)

it's just that norwegian pessimists, as i am, don't think that people from other countries know anything about norway or other norwegians. Norwegian optimists on the other hand ( is it right to say on the other hand? ) think that everybody knows where norway is and know all about norway.

check out Thomas Dybdahl as well! the best artist from norway if u ask me :)

[TehDudeIsBack]

i really need that how to do vid ^^

[rob042]

check it out!

[leeviable]

my jaw hung for 5 seconds lol.. you played it wonderfully even its not perfect

how long you learnt this song?

[miztressway]

awesome ! :)

[atran407]

Oh wow, you played this wonderfully. it's one of my favorite songs. good job with the overdubs. :)

[rob042]

Thanks so much, I wasn't sure if it was cheating to put them in. me being a youtoob noob an all!

[PowdErrPowErr]

i would love to know how you learned (where you found the music to) this song... learning from watching videos isn't impossible but it's pretty damn hard!

[rob042]

The way I play it is very similar to the tab on ultimate guitar (almost perfect - so props to that guy!), but I think I add an extra thumbstroke in between the 3rd and fourth notes of each chord pattern/riff. There are a couple of changes which are hard to get at first, but that tab'll get you there if you practice!

[WhiteBrightLightning]

are u kidding... his finger placement, its just inhuman :P

ill stick with using my thumb, waaaaaay less pressure to stretch that pointer finger ^^

[WhiteBrightLightning]

oh w8, never mind i just noticed the what the pinky's doing ha ha :P brilliant cover anyway

[rob042]

thanks for the compliments.

[Maxwels]

This was very good. Probably one of the best Cayman Islands' covers here on Youtube.

The question everyone seems to be asking: where did the particular guitarist found his tabs (you in this case). Was it ultimate-guitar?

[AlsoStarr1ng]

TORTURE !!!

Reminds me of soo many good memories... and now I'm sitting at school... on a sunday.... so feel happy to be bored, at home!

[rob042]

hope you mean torture in a somehow good way!!

[AlsoStarr1ng]

come on....! definitely yes.... G-
