"Hummer" acoustic cover

[balancebalance]

Hands down the best acoustic cover of Hummer I've ever heard and I've heard a lot since most of my musician friends are staunch Pumpkin fans.

[toringbearer]

@balancebalance Quite the compliment! Thank you :)

[PtitPrince1981]

I really do like that too :-)

[BardofCornwall]

Nice interpretation. 

[FinchMusix]

not only a great cover but your voice is incredible.

[toringbearer]

@FinchMusix Aww, thank you :)

[freetherocket]

Hey, what type of acoustic guitar do you use? and do you use an amp in your videos?

[toringbearer]

@freetherocket It's a Cort, and no :)

[freetherocket]

@toringbearer Thanks! It is a beautiful sounding guitar

[toringbearer]

@freetherocket Thank YOU very much :) I love it... I don't think I'll ever replace it.

[The666thBowelOfHell]

Ask youserf a qweston anyun but me im aint fwee

[julliopereiraa]

A beautifull song......

[28bottlesL8r]

Close enough!!! Dinner Sunday? ;)

[28bottlesL8r]

I truely hope you live near the indiana ohio line somewhere! What Id give to meet someone like you!!! Mad Props VC

[toringbearer]

@28bottlesL8r eeeeeh, nope, Illinois. But I appreciate it anyway :P

[moomiss]

@toringbearer I live in IL . u should come to my house and teach me!!!! or better yet. Lets go to billys house!

[toringbearer]

@moomiss lol, I'm not trying to get arrested... :P

[siksuomi]

Great job. I love it!!!

[Spunkee152]

This is so a two paws up! ("') ("') I love your voice. Thanks for the inspiration:D

[fokker78]

Wow. That was really impressive!

[thefirstpumpkin]

I think that you plays guitar much better than anyone replacement of James Iha. xoxo. sorry i don't know english. i have your records and they are amazing

[talal785]

This is really great. Can you upload this this version to your website so we can download?

[silverfuck77jpm]

This is outstanding! Interesting that you play it in Drop D, as I normally use standard tuning but anyway, your version is great!

[TattyScone123]

is there a better song than hummer? if anyone thinks so, they have some brass ones :D

[vitaminC7657]

You are great! You TOTALLY inspired me to pick up my guitar again after a VERY VERY long time.  But I was wondering, what kind of pick to do you use?? Thin, medium, thick?? Your guitar sound great whatever it is.

[toringbearer]

@vitaminC7657 definitely never thin on acoustic--I HATE that sound. 99% of the time I use a medium pick, but now and then I'll bust out a heavy one.

[SUPERZENA27]

I am truly amazed.. The best one!! I do not give compliments to anyone, and I have given u like 10 compliments by now.. Really, u r like the best female guitar player since Sidney Truston, really I am amazed!!

[herbie37]

deserves more views

[herbie37]

@herbie37 still listening to this great cover every couple of days or so since my post 5 months ago.....given up myself of trying to play it myself

[yesopk]

that was very good. you did a great job. :)

[speciesofpositive]

Great job. I really like it

[dashettina]

love your voice!

[SeanHG33]

This song is perfect for acoustic.  Especially when you have someone playing and singing it right!

[redmilitante]

That was your best one.

[blubblez12345]

amazing...

[staythecourse123]

god damn, what an amazing voice. and you must have learned the guitar by ear?

[toringbearer]

'fraid not! I took lessons for about two years.

[RocKwizTV]

I have to say that I have a lot of fun playing along to all of your smashing pumpkins videos.

You've got talent

[ZxxExxRxxO]

I'm a fan of all your covers, especially "Paper Bag"! I dunno if you take requests but i'd love to hear you do "... said sadly".

[geordiefonejerker]

fuckin class!

[GenericInsect1979]

Ah.

Well what you played sounded good so you still get kudos anyway

Do you take requests?

[GenericInsect1979]

I really like that you try to replicate the feedback loop at the start of the song, very innovative.

The outro also sounds really good on the acoustic, did it make your fingers hurt much?

[toringbearer]

I dunno how innovative I am; that was written in the tab I learned this from :(  Wish I could take credit for it, but it's the innovation of the tab writer :P Nah, my fingers didn't hurt much from the outro. In fact, this song kept me pretty pain-free, which is very nice :)

[SpiteJay]

Do you happen to remember what tabs this is? Superific job here btw!

[toringbearer]

I used the official Siamese Dream tab book :)

[Pmaravelias]

im impressed

[shymenH]

FUCKING AMAZING!!!

9/10

woulda been a ten if you'd shown your face. who cares what it looks like with guitar talent and a voice like that?

[blurillaz07]

wow! amazing!

good voice! great guitar!

smashing pumpkins #1

siamese dream #1

billy corgan #1

ja

[johnnyfree]

you have an amazing voice

[jtcfc]

there is something amazingly sexy about a girl who not only is a fan of sp, not only can play the guitar, but can perform completely respectable sp covers.

[lemonjelly]

Very nice acoustic rendition of hummer! You should try to do Snail :-).

[dobbyf]

for request: would you play "drown" by Smashing Pumpkins? i wanna listen your version...

[Motownisyourtown]

Really good job. This is one of my favourite ever songs

[blackfireINSANITY]

This is awesome. Toringbearer, keep doing your thing, man! (i know you're not a man, i just say that to everyone.)

[unrealnews]

This is so impressive. This song takes you all over the fretboard. Great job with the singing as well.

Really. REALLY. impressive.

[tacko04]

wow that is class beautiful voice!

[schifo78]

My favorite song ever!! I could fall in love with a girl like you!

[KennyKenMasters]

you sing with a lot of feeling, it's a nice sound, very soothing voice. so good

[bmn11]

This is freakin awesome

[kkarina1972]

Wow, you´re great and i love your voice. Way to go, Jess

[talal785]

Beautiful. My favorite pumpkins song. I hope this had something to do with the Hummer request I had made several months back.

[Georgie17xx]

I'm having trouble on the outro. It's a shame because I learned all of it, hoping to be able to finish the song, and then I can't do the outro. I was annoyed. It's my favourite bit of the whole song aswell. I'll get it at some point.

Unlike me, you did a great job on this! Well done :) You're very good at acoustic, I think you should do an acoustic cover of Soma. =]

[toringbearer]

I was actually planning on doing an electric cover because it's just so fun when the distortion kicks in :P Maybe I'll do both someday just for kicks, hehhee. And thank ya!

[redlemon123]

fuckkkk i love this i love u i love the pumpkins u have inspired me to learn pumpkin songs i never thought would be possible

[DeathBySeksy]

you should do a cover of stumbleine. great cover of this song tho!

[msevrens]

where the heck you been for 7 months?

[toringbearer]

oh, here and there :P

[cnw8577]

My goodness Jess, that's wickedly awesome! I really like the outro, can't believe you did that on an acoustic and made it sound so good. Now where's this Cherub Rock video you were telling me about, eh??? lol

[sudyma]

jessi, du bist unglaublich! eres increible! you are incredible! hamdulillah!!! and... you changed... have not seen you half a year... you are thinner! see it on your fingers!:)

[franki1001]

hi Jessica ! wow ... it's seem that i have miss this nice one by smashin p. : never hear of it before . thank u for let it me know it now : damm your voice is superb !!! very well done !!! have a dreat day ! cheers, from franki.

[Ishu1979]

M, pumpkins again! :) I really like this song, and I'll lay roses again to you, for this cover. Somethimes the words are not enough, but the feeling that travels, with the melody, is really deep... thats all!

[monk0383]

Are you in drop D? cause i've tryed this and in standard tuning i play it higher

[blackfireINSANITY]

It's drop d

[monk0383]

thanks

[xhackysackfreakx]

They have a new song called G.L.O.W. that's pretty schnazzy...

[toringbearer]

yup, I saw the youtube vid from the IA show. It kinda reminds me of the '90s more than anything from Zeitgeist/American Gothic does. So that's good I guess :) The song didn't blow me away, but I'm definitely glad they had such an exposed bass part :D

[gnomestar]

i think i like your videos more when i don't have at look at you ;)lol im just kidding!!! i think you are starting to turn into an internet celebrity lol

3 things, 1 do a hole song and 2 the outro soudns sweet on acoustic 3. form a band already

[toringbearer]

baaaaaaaaaaahahahaha, you're a butthead.

1 okay someday I will 2 I know uuuugh it's beautiful 3 maybe someday when I have friends with good taste in music

[hattrickpete]

That was fantastic.

[darkmalleus]

yeees

love the ending in that song!!

beautiful song =)

[litenkitty]

yay you're back! :D

lovely cover as always.

[Eldfel]

Once again fantastic stuff. Loving the vocals, keep up the good work!

[monk0383]

Nice to see you back...Now where the h*ll is cherub rock?

[toringbearer]

bahahaha, it'll be here someday XD

[bleach6bleach]

I alway wanted to play but this it's just fuzzed chords on one fret.

[rydidog]

Its about time you did this one! You mighta rushed the outro a little bit but really nice job over all. I have a really nice pumpkins acoustic version of this, and yours does it justice :)

[cranesgonewild]

Awesome!!  Great cover and the outro was cool, very cool. Thanks!

[forakiller]

that intro is hot, i had no idea it was a guitar part, well done

[bleach6bleach]

Sitar actually.

[toringbearer]

What part is a sitar?

[bleach6bleach]

The intro is played by a sitar, they actually show the sitar on the Siamese Dreams' sessions tribute video on their channel.

[jool51]

bravo, excellente reprise!

[amontgo11]

Great cover! I'm glad to see that you're back! Are you going to make any of the concerts in August?

[toringbearer]

no :( I am 2 hours away from the IA show, but the rest of my family has stuff to do that day, and I really don't want to drive there myself (I'm a wimp XD) I was more interested in the Gish tour, anyway, and I don't want to push my luck with my parents by begging to go to both... hahaha.

[BobEFFC]

Great video. I have tickets to the Hammond, IN show.

[sirpumpy]

another great pumpkin cover :) keep up the great music, im amazed how much youve grown as a musician/singer since your first covers to the ones your doing now

[Slipknot808]

I prefer the electric version but that was awesome.

[donottalk4138315]

"I don't recommend it." Disagre :)! This`s not how i play that song, but it`s great anyway. Thank you, toringbearer! This`s my favourite Pumpkin song! Thank you!

[connergpc]

That's a great song and you cover it well. Is that in standard tuning? Thanks for posting that.

[toringbearer]

drop d :)

[hodgins]

welcome back

[toringbearer]

thank ya! I hadn't realized how long it had been XD

[Elite91]

I LOVE IT!

[HiddenInTheBlood]

nice cover it looks good im not sure but have you done mayonaise, tahts a good song in Siamese dreams

[toringbearer]

yep, I have it up :)

[HiddenInTheBlood]

then i will check it out

[bzgzy]

ZOMG!

This is an amazing cover. Your a total natural on guitar and your voice is great. There aren't many girls that I think can cover the smashing pumpkins well (I'm a girl btw) but you certainly can. And at the same time your voice is quite pretty and feminine.

[toringbearer]

There are plenty of girls out there who are just as talented as all the guys ;) Don't underestimate your people! lol, just kidding (sorta? hahaha)

[earphoria79]

it´s been a long time without any video from you. welcome back!

by the way, nice choice, but a very hard song to be played, i think. it's brilliant. congratulations!

[Slunk32]

You're back! <3

[ibechane]

this song is amazing. Your cover is awesome!

[UbiquitousGeek]

Good job. Check out some of mine. Love the Pumpkins. :-)

[Georgie17xx]

Great job! I've been listening to your own music and it's absolutley amazing! you could really go somewhere with you talent!

[trojancross06]

oh how we missed your brilliance... this video made my day and proves that there is no pumpkins song you can't do.

[trojancross06]

oh how we missed you... this video made my day, and proves there's not a song of theirs you can't do.

[HiddenInTheBlood]

sorry about be being negative but adore is a lot of electronic which is harder to do with just guitars just trying listening to the whole album
