lol joker good playing aswell

[elrobo100]

hey cool vid

[carlosyamates]

good one mate - lookslike ur havin fun too!

[lostproduction]

oh second thought I think its good but sound like Eric Idle. Like "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". can you do a cover of that?

[theblurbman]

Fair play to you, fine perusers of youtube, but have you seen Doherty walk? I think he wins in the camp stakes...

[lostproduction]

fair play dude i'm gonna post my version of this song

[AmyxShambles]

i agree with lostproduction :)

[aghzzi]

the solo to start with is weak, try figuring out the start to the solo on 5th and 7th fret. i cnat be bothered to tell you

[epiphonecoe]

very good cover

but i dont belive that you forgot the name of the song

[lostproduction]

oh dear. i thinks its ok i just find it extremely camp!!!

[alirussell111]

sweet this is the best cover ive seen

[theblurbman]

And it's a nice one from the smoke mate.

Thanks to everyone else for watching and commenting too!

[BADBhOY21]

Awesome cover. Im interested in the chords when singing "the night on fire"

do you gou g, f#, f

then into d (wombles bleed)

i can play the song but just play the bar g then back to d. I like how you play that bit, just unsure how you are doing it. cheerz

[theblurbman]

You are the 4405th person I have told this to, and it gets more exciting to do so every time.

You've pretty much got it, it's mirroring what the bass is doing: G G G G F# E, D(..bleed, truncheons...etc)

Happy playing you bad bhoy

[bongolwater]

Best have seen yet at this song! well played an nice to see the solo for once,Its a well done from hartlepool

[mafia268]

really...really good!!!!!! well done. im learning it on the mandolin.

[rossgumbrell]

fucking great!

[jhdggfgh]

Its soo fucking demoralising watching people like you lol,I realise just how bad i am when I watch videos like this :).

Well done,very nice cover.

x

[brettantill]

I'm not sure what's better, the version or the retorts to the dicks who try to put you down.

Quality.

[theblurbman]

Cheers mate, really appreciate it

[mardrix67]

well done mate .love this song . play it myself and i think i have the same takemine guitar if its a g series.

[Mercussey]

well done mate

[enzogiampieri]

Well.. One of my favourite Libs songs and you done it justice. I really enjoyed watching this cover, im now off to check out your other vids :) keep it up dude!

[theblurbman]

Nice one mate

[monsoonboy16]

Hey mate that was really nicely done, I play this song too but not as well as you. Just ignore any twat that puts you down, anyone who places importance on peforming Libs songs note perfect to the record doesn't understand the spirit of the band and what they stood for - being a libertine in more than name and doing what feels right for you whenever the mood takes you. Like you said it's not fuckin x-factor. Keep up the good work mate.

[theblurbman]

You talk lots and lots of sense mr monsoon, cheers for talking it here

[steveoss22]

well played mate, your version has helped me learn the song- nice one. dont listen to some of the wankers who slagged it off!

like u said its not about perfectin it, its doin it how u wanna do it!

[theblurbman]

Cheers mate, I appreciate it

[Badhabitsjay]

Very very average...

The chords are wrong in places. You don't do the scratches either.

You miss the 5's and 6's in the beggining of the solo and you've SERIOUSLY simplified the faster part of the solo, yet you still buggered it up too.

Get the right chords. Tighten up your technique and play the solo correctly.

Get some presence too, you look like a blue peter presenter...

[theblurbman]

Hm... SOMEONE has too much time on their hands. Very analy done jay, why don't you post a video of you performing it? Show us all how to play perfectly note for note a song intented for two guitars, who's author probably hasn't even played it perfectly through, and perhaps fail to capture the essence and spirit of it completely.

Show me some of your own presence you invisible twat! I didn't want an essay marked, this is fucking youtube not X-Factor.

[Badhabitsjay]

If I was marking it, I'd have pointed out that you're playing the entire solo 2 frets too low.

I have no problems with the solo being a little complex for an acoustic, the hammers don't work well for example.

If you didn't want it to get a CPR (Critical Peer Review) then don't stick it on YouTube, serious musicians improve by listening to the advice of others.

I wasn't offensive in my comment. You took the critique badly. Learn to take critique well instead of as a personal attack.

[theblurbman]

It strikes me that since you didn't say one positive word about the video, when you've none of yourself out there, and when the overwhelming reaction to it HAS been positive, that you are simply an over-analytical technical obsessive (judging by the one video you've favourited, which I've now given my opinion on by the way), who has again completely missed the point:

[theblurbman]

Music is first, to me, about spirit and soul, about singing from the heart at the top of your lungs, not about perfecting a useless diminished scale so you can play it so fast it can't even be discerned.

The solo's on the right fucking frets by the way, though it is improvised in parts.

It seems to me you simply enjoy pissing on bonfires. Too scared to put a cover up yourself??

[Badhabitsjay]

My apologies, i watched it more closely this time I thought you were playing on 5th not 6th string.. lol. I play 5th string 7th fret for the solo.

You know rather than moving up and down the fret board it's easier to move sideways? Each to their own though.

I have videos. They're not on this ghost account though i'm an accomplished session musician. I don't need your judgement. I just wanted to offer my critique.

[theblurbman]

Surprisingly enough, I don't need it

[JoeYY182]

actually carl barat played a solo version of this and it was perfect.

you dont need two guitars

[nathankmart]

you look like my mom

like ufewl said u need more ganga

[theblurbman]

Mate I'm fucking glad I'm not your dad

[smiles103]

are u actually using the d7 chord?

[theblurbman]

No. Forgot. The sentiment's there though - Pete's probably played it worse and he wrote the bastard thing

[smiles103]

your chords arent quite correct after your gm but try and change em and youve mastered it

[smiles103]

ya voica is poohish but so what so s mine love the playing man big time got loads of time for heroes doin the heroes nice man cheers

[smiles103]

how much ya pay for your guitar think i have the same one and by the way nice man youve tought me this tune much better then when pete tries an acoustic much and by far better then any version youll find on here

[Geraud49000]

cool !! good voice and nice guitar playing

[garysumner664]

very nice, what guitars that please mate? carries a nice tone, im looking for a new acoustic to play this song live, thinking of maybe a washburn

[JadedXero]

That there is a Takamine, looks pretty much identical to mine so i'm gna say its an G series..

[theblurbman]

'course I do. Why, do you know what you're listening to? Cheers for watching though.. i think

[smiles103]

doyou know what tune your playing mate,

[ufewl]

You need to take more heroin

[watevapoo]

I love this song and your version is really good will you put more libertines songs up. Or Fuck forever by the babyshambles....

[lfclibertine]

great cover, whos parts are you playing?

or is it a bit of a mixture?

[theblurbman]

Yeah it's a mix. Trying to get the whole band on one guitar i spose

[wilsorjg]

Do you go to Aston Uni? I think of seen your face about.... Thanks for posting this, stumbled across it and now i know how to play the song. Mint...

[theblurbman]

Haha yeah I do. Who are you? I be Ben, you see.

[wilsorjg]

I thought so, i saw this vid a while back and then like the next day i saw you in einsteins which was a bit wierd. Next time i see you i'll say hello....

[jgatheral]

amazing cover!

[elrobo100]

i like it alot especially ur solo keep it up

[buckyballsblacky]

Why do you put on that queer fuckin voice "Ooh i pass maself down on ma knees" Betty! what the fuck are you doing? a Frank Spencer tribute

[theblurbman]

Because your Mum likes it. Fucking hell it's my cover I'll sing it however I fucking want. It's my voice just like the rest of it. Sing me some of yours...?

[leons99]

nice cover , and u hv a nice voice too, unique i shuld say ...

[TIMPA921209]

fan va kast du suger verkligen hårt

[distillerdude]

Quite brilliant actually!

[annathegirl622]

I like your accent and guitar playing

[TragicAnatomy]

good guitar, shite voice.

[gazsafa]

this is my fav song hehe and up the bracket i love them i listen to them like 1000 times a day each wooohooo i wanna meet u!! lol u gotta teach me how to play that on the guitar!!!

[graemecurrie]

thats fukin quality, keep it up, love the simplicity of your voice!

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

nice 1 mucker gd stuff u feel it man can c it

[craigyt2k]

nice one, like the solo too

[storar]

see on the bit where it says "with your trousers down, a head rush" are you playing G then a quick F# AM before the D?

its hard to make out but i always just go from the G to the D and it sounds ok.

cheers, nice work(Y)

[theblurbman]

It's trying to get the bass line into it I think. I'm going 'G G G G F#m E' before going to the D. Quite tough to do fast, but works well when it works. Hope that helps sir/madam!

[kurusyunai]

well done!

i like your voice and guitar.

keep on rockin'

[danbilo1]

haha....ur pretty funny....that was great could you please send me thetab you use please...cheers

[Ottawarocket]

Just super!..what a great song that. Never heard it before? good singing and the guitar was great.

Rocket Rob

[theblurbman]

er... nope, im definitely playin A.

[dillenger81]

what chord is it ya playing on the line that goes bill bones, bill bones knows what i mean. i can play it all apart from the one chord its doing my head in.

[theblurbman]

Hey man, its just an A at the bottom of the guitar. 002220. There is miastake though, it should D7 not F#m when its 'the scene is obscene'

[xxNoxxFxxInxxLuckxx]

i suppose A works (x02220) but its actually A8 (575685 or x02022), at least i'm pretty sure it is.ta

[Caff68]

Ha ha you mean A7, what is A8? That'd just be the note A and another A above it, wouldn't it? lol and that's x02223 btw! Hello, blurbman; nice cover, like it :D

[theblurbman]

Thanks man, appreciate it

[mearsy8]
