im trying to learn this song atm but because i'm just playing since a month or so, i could need some tips for example how to play the pre chorus and the chorus so fast^^

and btw: great cover!

[TheMattybono]

Cool! Love this song. didn't realise how good it is acoustic too! Nice job.

[cejayes]

huh...nice work. how long did it takes you to learn this song?!

btw...i'm really impressed!

[Tonedefdom]

Thanks Cejayes, it took me a couple of weeks I think, i can't remember. learning a song, sometimes i find myself jsut picking the guitar up and playing without awareness of the time!

[bastian1609]

Very nice. How do you like my version of books from boxes?

[Lolabamus]

great ,nice job

[TheCologne]

Respekt, wir covern ebenfalls das Stück mit einer Band. Aber was Du da machst ist richtig gut. Ich spiele nur einen Teil und brauch dabei nicht zu singen, und das reicht mir. Schade das Du keine 4 Arme hast. :-) Dann könntest Du den Anfangs Solopart auch noch an den richtigen Stellen weiter einspielen.

Mach bloss weiter so.

[namimi1412]

Ich glaube nicht, dass er Deutsch spricht ^^

[Tonedefdom]

namimi1412 is correct, but thanks.

[diango73]

richtig super tolles cover

[Tonedefdom]

Danke! Thank you, hvala, cheers x

[DANIMUSBF]

[SinniFinni]

Wow! Das könnte locker ne unplugged-version von Maximo Park sein!

Respekt!! und so ein Talent kommt auch mal aus Deutschland ;)

5/5

[Tonedefdom]

Danke. Sie weiß, dass ich Englisch?

[LishKingsSon]

Sehr gut gespielt und nicht ein Ton versungen. Wenn ich das so könnte wär ich schon groh^^

Mach weiter so !!!!!!!!!!!

[Jooonny89]

[Tonedefdom]

Tausend Dank!

[kingmod01]

that was a quality cover man really enjoyed it !

[GxAxL]

Sweet cover, It's really hard to play the guitar and sing in this song,

[Lotte1607]

wooow thats sooo good!!!

[PhoneticGenetic]

I thoroughly enjoyed that, mate. Very nice cover with what appears to be a very nice acoustic. One of the signifying aspects of Maximo Park (great band) is the accent with which the vocalist sings. It's northern (not far from me, actually) - whereas yours seems to be quite neutral. And it was nice to hear that style of voice singing along. Impressive cover.

[Kimberleyox]

Wow, your really good !!:Dxxxx

[GuteLaune3]

Der WAHNSINN! :)

[Saeniac]

great!

[Splidi]

Very great cover!

I like that song and you performed it really great!

[salamy43]

[Tonedefdom]

Nice try! I know what it says, dont be shy, lol ;)

[logitech12121212]

wow, absolutley amazing. it's almost better than the original to be honest. i don't think he sounds shy at all! amazing, really amazing.

[ThioNeal]

i like it. it sounds good, but it seems like that you are lil bit shy... let your voice out! dont be too shy to get louder with your voice. keep it up man!

[jesstheshortcake]

wow you're really good, i'm trying to play this at the moment and i'm struggling, can you please tell me which tabs you used? thanks :) xx

[Tonedefdom]

No tabs shortcake, just figured it out, sorry.

[RobinBremen]

[INDIEviduell]

great. i like it.

[YellowSubmarine89]

Very nice job! Absolutey love this song. Maxïmo Park are the best :)

[scubapod]

[scubapod]

Very nice singing...i would do so too, but no one would listen to it ^^

[Tonedefdom]

Hi All, thanks for the comments - Just to let you know, as Ive had many requests, I DON'T have the Tab for this as I figured it out by ear. Sorry, give it a go yourselves tho. Dom

[beccabk7]

Hey, great! Do you have the tabs ? Could you send it to me please ? Cheers

[patchesonice]

lovely

[Chrillek1]

Hey man. Nice Version ;)

Could you be so nice and send me the tabs???

Yours, Christian

[crazy87jim]

props for singing and playing!

[elsheepio]

Hey, my band is doing a cover of this soon at our gig, great song! You did it really well... I can imagine this song being extremely hard to play and sing, that simple timing on the chords is easy but singing it too must be a bit tricky :P

Your voice was excellent too, a bit shaky at times but that was understandable lol

Very good = ] xxx

[Tonedefdom]

The tricky bit is singing over the picking bit at the end of the verse, otherwise its pretty easy. good luck with your performance mate.

[elsheepio]

yeh... well done agaain mate and thanks im sure we'll be fine : ]

cheers xx

[BurningOut101]

dude that's soooo amazing, both playing and singing!! rock on!

[Tonedefdom]

Thanks a lot ;)

[bennet4lolita]

very good!

[sjoerdre]

Thanks for the 3.27 minutes of pleasure! Best cover on youtube of this song so far! Cheers!

[Takkness]

very good cover I appriciate that!!!

[esskei]

better looking than singing

[paolobento]

Very good, I enjoyed that. Its quite a difficult song just to play let alone sing at the same time!

Well done.

[burnettross]

Bloody fantastic mate!!! Serisously good!! Well done, id love to be able to play that!!!

[Tonedefdom]

Thanks a lot, you can play like that, Ive never had a lesson... just practise ;)

[slamptandhappy]

That was great. You're really, really good. The rhythm is perfect, it's one of my favourite songs and you've really done it justice. So thank you. :)

[Tonedefdom]

Thanks and glad I could show you something, anon.

[Federfleischmetzger]

fuckin' great

[jamiecherry]

keep up the good work wee man :) any chance of a cover of limassol of the first album?

[kane654]

Exellent! You really captured the song's feel, lovely voice and guitar playing. :]

[rimaraf999]

Excellent stuff TD :)

-Rjs

[Geeksandy]

Guitar is very good and i like maximo park a lot because of their music and their lead singers voices newcastle accent goes very well.... you dont have the accent but a good voice and it worked :)

[Tonedefdom]

Yeah, I considered faking the accent, but when your from West London its a bit tough! Thanks.

[trashxx]

Paul Smith is actually from Billingham :)

[UsefulEuphemism]

I smiled all the way through watching that, there's no reason why you shouldn't sing like that all the time, your voice is awesome!

And as you said, this one has more oomph, and I love it! Very well done Mister!
