[003937]

Claire where are you from

[calitosunsky]

You sing very well and you are very cute. I Like the way you slap your guitar. i see what you did there.

[TheYellowSofa]

Very very nice.

[richardpeej]

You play and sing very well Claire...I loved this one..Richard

[davidonze]

How talentous you are !!! You definitely deserve to get more famous through the world! You can count on me to buy your cd if there's one one day... Well in fact I'd also buy a dvd to see you play. It's as spectacular to see as to hear! Well in fact, i think I'll also come and see you play at your concert if you come to France !

Very well done!

[Suraj222333]

claire y dont u cover these song 'you fill up my senses,do you really want to hurt me,even the nights are better' these are beautiful songs like you... seriously

[Cra179]

great stuff!

[Predator5639]

AHHHh this is so hilarious xD I love playing that way, but I'm not very good at creating my own tunes. This looks so fun xD

[burlon99]

wow! Tienes una hermosa voz, como un ángel.

[AlexanderTalenss]

Nice!

[petesimon]

good one! a bit folk and really catchy. at first I thought I might hear a cover of Cranberries' song Zombies from the early 90's.

[PrendergastClaire]

@petesimon :) cheers petesimon! x

[allenzibo]

@petesimon I made the same mistake! :P Sound like Dolores O'Riordan much? But that maybe because that both Claire and Dolores are both Irish and I can't tell the difference between accents!

[HaveFallen]

Tutorial? Tabs?

Please...

I'm in love...

[PrendergastClaire]

@HaveFallen I've haven't written out the tab yet - but hopefully I'll get around to it someday. The tuning is DADGAD <3

[saintaleguitar]

would you marry me?

[PrendergastClaire]

@saintaleguitar ;)

[Xpert30]

@saintaleguitar

[andrewabp]

Wow that is very cool. Quite a unique (in a good way of course) voice and technique you have. Excellent.

[MynZnusz]

Cool!

[JordRhodesify]

This is so much better than that Drifting song, the melody is so much nicer

[zxjewlszx]

cool song!

[LucyFennCookie]

awesome stuff, check out richcottellmusic :)

[Duplooytim]

You got talent.

[saidedgar23]

@PrendergastClaire

Hey Claire, I'm making a teen-romance film over the summer, that incorporates zombies.

Nothing big, just some friends and me in an old house.

Is there any chance I could have your permission to use this song in the credits? It's really awesome and fits the mood perfectly.

Obviously I'd give you a credit for it.

thanks

[jordanw80]

Lol

[bravo2nil]

I'm in love beautiful voice even more beautiful in looks, amazing !

[ItMightBeAChicken]

what kind of mic do you use to record the guitar? i have something like this where ill do that percussive stuff on the body of the guitar but i dont have right mic to record it.

[OMGgaiaonlinekool]

Ingenious and very catchy :) I loved it!

[yusstay]

Remind's me of some old BBC children's TV show from the 70's.... I'm addicted to it though... zombies are in my napper and in my bed... no wait a minute,,, I need to start again... What's the lyrics again?

[BRIGHTNIGHTONLINE]

I love this!

[alexica92]

[swaydeto12]

Wow, you smacked it ;) please view my cover x

[gulyagarside]

[jkasiryeseb1]

I love it...zooooooooonbiiiieeees

[bidman66]

[iluvdancin]

[chrisbaker121924]

Zombies use spoons? Lol I love this... Mainly due to the awesome creativity of the playing

[MonkWithTheFunk]

1 word, weebl.

[WaddingtonJr]

There's a zombie on mt lawn

[Lauraa4023]

Not gonna lie, the first time I heard this I hated it. But after listening to it again, it's really growing on me! I love the catchy tune :)

[tr4v0wn3d]

U can't sing get over it

[InsaniaEternus]

That accent D: Its beautiful!

[elwynh]

as a guitarist in a band ive got to say this is brilliant. great guitar playing,great singing,and catchy tune. well done

[TheWanderingGamers]

I dont think zombies have the mental capacity to use a spoon... Just sayin

[AllHailHypnoT0ad]

Id love to tap that.....guitar

[rowetts]

What a crap song

[wildlife011803]

@rowetts thats so mean and unneccasary to say, all because u don't like the song doesnt give you the excuse to rudely critisize her music

[TheGreatSteve]

@rowetts What a crap person (you are).

[necronomify]

A catchy tune with some smart finger picking...nice one Claire !!

[Cooliebear5000]

"Eat my brains out with a spoon" Lol :3

[Gjkeane]

Yea :)

[IENVYIRL2011]

Thts my last name

[eldudo13]

Haha Prendergast is a place in Wales 0___0

[Grimm599]

Holy mother of Jaysus! you were on 5,000 views yesterday. Im impressed! still a wicked song (hence why im back to listen again)

[isammox]

She keeps hitting her boobies ;D

[BOLSAVACUS]

That's pretty cool

[daviddownie]

Beautiful and amazingly talented.

[stevepotter1980]

Clever

[allenzibo]

Ahhhh... KInda gutted that this isn't The Cranberries - Zombie. :( In all honesty I wouldn't have checked it out otherwise, but hey not bad! Pretty cool stuff... But seriously, Cover Zombie by The Cranberries? :D

[MisterSisterShotgun]

You sing a song about zombies and honestly, I've never felt so relaxed and stress free in my life. Just wow.

[eddy4snip]

Really cool

[OneThirtyThree133]

Ive never heard anything like that before. Brilliant :D

[mrwilley83]

Wow thats awsome! Can i have the tab for that id love to learn that!

[PrendergastClaire]

@mrwilley83 Thanks Mr Willey! :) The tuning is dadgad x

[davidleigh2]

Beautiful!

[davidleigh2]

Beautful!

[marcusfitzgibbon]

Quite splendid. I thought you were slappin' the boob as well! Inventive guitar and a lovely clear voice you have. Was featured on iGoogle home page today if you weren't aware. Well done :)

[milfeater247]

so strange... like the product of some weird acid trip, creative, but deffo peculiar

[danielvallieres555]

ya!



[harryew]

Well done.... a fun tune. Have a look at Andy Mckee for some more inspiration...

Listen to drifting... its kinda the same idea but a little more complex

[PrendergastClaire]

@harryew Thanks Harry. Andy has been an inspiration. I uploaded a cover/mash-up of "Drifting" a few months ago. It's on my channel if you want to check it out. x

[TheEolann]

At first I taught she was hitting her Booooobbeesss

[slimlinelewisbuttery]

@Sbua she is just tapping the strings, doing that makes a sound if you tap them hard enough so you dont need to pluck them

[Sbua]

How is she actually playing? At first I thought she was plucking with her thumb, but it seems she's just tapping on the strings.

[k1ngross]

@Sbua yep, just finger tapping

[PrendergastClaire]

@Sbua Yep as @k1ngross said, I'm finger tapping. Andy McKee is a huge inspiration on the guitar front - also @chriswoodsgroove

[benbennit]

@PrendergastClaire No worries Claire. Keep tappin away and consider me a lifelong fan.

[MrGaryduck]

That is absolutely brilliant!!!!

[TheGreatSteve]

ZOMBOOBIES!

[kaptainkarnage69]

15k views since hitting the front page :D

[m1r9h71]

Fair play to you! All i wanted to do after "Shaun Of The Dead" was go to the pub! ;0)

[PrendergastClaire]

@m1r9h71 :D

[Muwt]

Goodness gracious, eat my brains out with a spoon, that's awesome!

[NoobGroupGamers]

what style of playing would u call that ?

[PrendergastClaire]

@NoobGroupGamers I'm finger tapping. Check out Andy McKee, Justin King or Chris Woods for more sophistication! 

[MrOllie86]

gorgeous.

[booyaadotorg]

clever ;)

[curlygoth]

really gd song, nd claire is a godess. shes uber hot

[FelipeZucchetti]

nice

[slowblues3x5]

You could have played that the normal way you play a guitar, you didn't need to play it like that.

[PJFaithfull]

@slowblues3x5 I suppose she didn't NEED to play it like that, but why not try to be creative? I don't know any other way to play the guitar to get that kind of tone, so I suppose it's all about artistic choices.

[slowblues3x5]

@PJFaithfull Hey, she got a cool voice and all - just don't see the need to play it like that aside from what those speed metal folk dude when a lot of them just look like show offs not really giving a crap that it sounds cool, just that they think they bad ass. I play guitar myself and I don't try to do songs in some random way to seem all hip and sh1t. fack that! I'd rather just play the damn song and do it right. Not that she didn't.

Thread closed.

[TheUkulelePanda31]

Wow, getting to pro standard of percussion playing. 

[heinzie5]

she has a nice voice but ive never liked this style of guitar playing... at least she is a hottie who likes zombies though. those are all bonus points. and her guitar playing in the other videos is kewl

[benjione1984]

Please watch and rate my poem I love you it would mean a lot thankyou

[jibeson]

"oh to find good help these days would be a miracle"

[oisinmcdaid]

WTF?

[Tanithwolf]

“Eat my brain out with a spoon”, I love sophisticated zombies. I can just imagine a meeting with one “Pardon me dear sir/lady, but would you mind awfully if I were to devour some of your lovely brain, I shall even have the butler fetch the good silverware”.

[bareakon]

@Tanithwolf "Jeeves, you fool!! That's a dessert spoon!"

[FuckingEnforcer]

@Tanithwolf

Or zombies like the ones in "Stubb the Zombie" video game who have the courtesy of challenging you to a dance-off before they eat your brains

[The1stPoster]

thought you were slappin your boob

[J4KETS]

@The1stPoster I think thats taking 'implant' too far

[jakemoffat1994]

@The1stPoster ahahahahahahahaha this made me laugh so much you legend hahahah :L !!!

[Trisscarr]

@The1st I thought she was slapping her boob too then I realised and lol'd.

[chunkysid2011]

Wtf

[willow96000]

This is genius! absolutely love this! x

[TheTractorjaws]

how is she making that noise slapping her boob lol im not mad about this song but its stuck in my head lol

[blackestcry]

amazing

[CMSpida]

Didn't expect that

[nofunnybuissness]

funny as hell but randoms lol you have a good voice for jazz

[k1ngross]

Amazing, it does look an awful lot like you have a wooden breast though

[Mr1997Gangster]

where`s the zombies.

[retroecho]

It's a zombie renaissance

another zombie song: search youtube vid TqPwWP1XXDo

The singer did all the artwork too.

[jamangel3]

cute

[ryanflamethrower]

Claire, I'd really like to buy you a drink. X

[PrendergastClaire]

@ryanflamethrower haha! Cheers Ryan! x

[VegasPoker]

hey this is great! it's always great to see people be so creative with the guitar

[PrendergastClaire]

@VegasPoker Thanks very much! I really appreciate the support! x

[SonicSurf3r]

Joni Mitchell meets George Romero

[PrendergastClaire]

@SonicSurf3r lol! I wrote it after watching "Shaun of the Dead" actually :)

[PJFaithfull]

I'm loving the two handed tapping. Especially as it's done to create a delicate texture, rather than a Van Halen style freak out.

Are you in standard tuning there Claire?

[PrendergastClaire]

@PJFaithfull Thanks PJ - I'm not too sure what the tuning is off the top of my head. It's some variation of DADGAD I think.

[PrendergastClaire]

@PJFaithfull Hey PJ - I've checked the tuning now and it is DADGAD x

[PJFaithfull]

@PrendergastClaire Cheers Claire - Always a great tuning to sod about in. I think I feel a retune coming on...

[simon48745]

Aloysius Pendergast!

[EinfachAwesome]

reall good i like this ;) it makes me lucky xDD

[playingforbritain]

The only love song i know with the line 'eat my brains out with a spoon'

[PrendergastClaire]

@playingforbritain :D

[MilitantOldLady]

@playingforbritain

you've never listened to Death Metal have you? :D



[GregPollard]

lol as much as it pains me to say this, man I'd be annoyed if I had to hit my luscious rack every time I tapped my acoustic.

[Looby456]

funky skills on the guitar :)

[PrendergastClaire]

@Looby456 Thanks very much Looby! :)

[LoadedMessage]

This is what can happen if you never have a guitar lesson haha

Maybe next time we'll see somone play a harp like a piano..?

[KatieRockz101]

Lol Funny:)

[PrendergastClaire]

@KatieRockz101 Thanks Katie :)

[mscookieraiders]

Cooool (:

[PrendergastClaire]

@mscookieraiders Thanks Amy!

[TheGreatSteve]

You should cover "Glove slap" by the B-52's :-)

[xledzepplinx]

amazin. :) reminds me alot of andy mckee, but a bit more palatable

[PrendergastClaire]

@xledzepplinx Yeah I discovered Andy McKee about two years ago and he has definitely been a huge inspiration. Thanks for the support!

[BackUpBrotha]

It looks like you are slapping your left tit.

[BeanzimusPrime]

That was incredible! I've been playing slap guitar for the past few years, but I really like the way you're combining riff, beat and vocal line. Sincerely, this is amazing! Have you toyed with the idea of tap harmonics?

[PrendergastClaire]

@BeanzimusPrime Thanks James. I've really just started experimenting with this style. I'll have a look at some tap harmonic tutorials this evening - cheers x

[CastleAnthraxx]

@PrendergastClaire Brilliant stuff! Congrats on being featured too.

I hope you don't mind me asking - what tutorials are you using? I've been playing guitar for years, but some help on this particular style would be handy.

[PrendergastClaire]

@CastleAnthraxx hey thanks very much! I've no specific tutorials in mind. Just planning to "Youtube" it and see what comes up. :)

[kaptainkarnage69]

Turns out that The Cranberries don't have exclusive rights to Irish songs featuring Zombies. I love it.

[PrendergastClaire]

@kaptainkarnage69 :) thanks

[TheDevilR1]

lol i thought you were slapping your boob at first :P

[griffin2222]

Zombies, portal, mario:) Claire i like the way you play guitar, its cool;)

[NathysMusicCorner]

haha this is great claire ! well done, good to see an Irish girl making it . :D

Keep up the good work !

[PrendergastClaire]

@NathysMusicCorner Thanks very much Nathy!

[kierons101]

why are you slaping your tit ?

[futreslayer300]

@kierons101 i think you'll find she's slapping the guitar :-/

[kierons101]

@futreslayer300 0:07 the tit has been slaped ¬.¬

[MegaBlueZOMBIE]

Why are you wearing a scarf indoors? Fucking hipsters...

[PLATINFERN]

Andy McKee would love this!!!

[PrendergastClaire]

@PLATINFERN Cheers - I did share it with Andy and his comments were really nice :)

[apocolipsenow64]
