[TheRachel1234567]

So beautiful!!! melted my heart thanks for making my afternoon :)

[izzys11]

awesome! like rpp8489 said any chance of a lesson on this one or a hint. good work anyway dude voice and guitar

[speakercoilmusic]

@izzys11 Thank you... I can try and do a lesson here soon... It's super easy though... The picking/hammer on's are the only somewhat tricky part. The chords are simple. Capo on the 3rd. C, F, C, G, F, C (walk down) Am, F, G, C. That's the verse I believe... The chorus is Am, F, C, Am, F, G, Am, F, C, Am, G, F. The bridge is... Am, G, C, F, Am, G, C, F, Am, G, F, C (walk down) Am (walk down) F. C. Lots of chords I know... I may have messed some up, this is off of memory without a guitar in hand.

@speakercoilmusic much appreciated. yeah you make it look easy and sound effortless but i dont think ill be able to play it that well. cheers dude.

[rpp8489]

This is awesome..any possiblity you can post a lesson on how to play this song? There is nothing on youtube and its my favorite song.

[speakercoilmusic]

thanks... ummm yeah I have been debating doing instructional videos... If not I can always just tell you the chords. I think I figured it out by ear so not sure if there are any good tabs out there. It is pretty simple, but there are a lot of subtle changes.

[almenman]

this is great! fantastic rythm, guitar and a unik,sweet voice! keep it up=)

[megapper]

whao...really good...

[speakercoilmusic]

why thank you... I have a few other Ryan Adams songs lined up for videos as well. "Winding Wheel", "Let it Ride", and a full band version of "Shadowlands".

[psneak007]

Hey man the recording sounds great. Could you give me some insight into what equipment you're using?

[speakercoilmusic]

Yeah sure... Not much to it. The mics are all cheap chinese made things. There are three (one is out of frame providing room tone). The guitar and room mic are KCM R25 ribbon mics, and the Vocal mic is a cheap tube mic a PPA LD-3. The preamp is simply my interface which is an M-Audio ProFire 2626. DAW is Logic Pro 8. Only Plug-In used was a bus limiter to keep sound levels high for the web. That's it... Nice and simple. The room ribbon I treated as an MS mic, doubling, panning, reverse phase.

excellent. beautiful. glad you've recovered and i would've never guessed it. seems as good as it gets with this one

[speakercoilmusic]

Thank you so much for your concerns. Yeah, I felt better about a half a week after this was shot. I had symptoms up until the day before this was shot, I thought I was better and then they kicked in about 3 hours after this was taped. It was nasty... At this moment all I had were extreme back pains and my throat was killing me. :) The new videos (and future 4 to come) I was feeling quite better during. This is one of my favorites though. Thanks for the compliments!

[josecoff24]

cheers

[prettypragmatist]

gorgeous cover. big RA fan, you did good, sir.

[speakercoilmusic]

thank you. :)

[eyewall41]

nice work! what was this shot with?

[speakercoilmusic]

a fucking iSight. lol... From my computer. I had a second angle with a real camera but the mini-dv out is busted so I couldn't transfer it. :(

[speakercoilmusic]

For all those viewing... It may not look or sound like it, but my voice was completely shot and I was recovering from swine flu when this was recorded. I spent the rest of the weekend on a couch wishing for death it hurt so bad.
