Purdy sweet dude u got sum nice pipes man my voice used to go that high i can make it go there i think i like singin in a high pitch to this song too :] i nd im a dude
The only chord I see different from the original by Bowie is going from G to Bm the second time in each verse instead of going from G to Em each time. And Bowie uses an Am instead of an A major at the beginning of each chorus...but you sing the melody to conform with the chords you use so to me it works in a really cool way which changes it just enough from the original to make it refreshingly interesting and enjoyable.
I don't get it. You can sing, but this version kills the spirit of the song. For me, this song is about angst and envy. But your version is so gentle and peaceful. That being said, you have some talent, but I don't think your take on this song is worth listening to.
@zackboomer OK, a cover is a person's own take on a song, but why do you like this version? I don't think you can completely change the emotion of a song in a cover. I guess it's moderately interesting just because it's very different, but it still kills the spirit of the song for me.
Nice! But it seems you take wrong chords a couple of times// Try "...but made it too FAR (Em) became the spEcial(Am7) when we were ZIggis band(C).../ and AmGF in refrain instead of AGF
and than D and ur pinky and C9 and G and in the end of the G u play stirngs 5 and 6 its complicated to explain like this, i know u played it from the web, which people write it by hear... wrong
After the 'D' part in the main riff, you're making it more complicated than it really is/was. It's just a simple walkdown 3-2-0 on the A string and hit an open G and D string with each of the above 3 notes, then back to the G.
Two: Try to hit that A in the bridge a little smoother, plus I think it's an Am, not an A major.
p.s. You're voice is haunting. I find it has more colors than even Bowie's original version. It's plaintive and distant-fantastic!!
i'm not sure, but from listening to the recording on the actual song, and from what i've figured out, i think that its an A minor not A and the "so where were the spiders" but really good... like really
Hey Champ, Great Cover. Can you tell me where you got the chords from?
Watching the video I can make out most of it, but I'm not sure what chords you play after G D D SUS 4 then it looks like G again with a transition to another chord.
More advice: The 'bridges'("so where were the Spiders?" etc.) begin with Am not A major. Get the voice lower for those bits too, as it's not really a song for a boy soprano. Go on, you can do it (again)
Pretty good. A few words of advice... First of all, you didn't play that little picking riff at the beginning of the song, which I would've loved to hear. Also, you have a really good singing voice, but you seem a bit afraid to sing. Let it out, I think you'll be surprised. :)
very good cover man!
