Iron & Wine - Fever Dream

[cassianomecchi]

There's so much soul on your interpretation.

[32jd32]

You played that very beautifully.

[1234Theme]

Tuning and tab? 

[TheKalebholloman]

yea i been playin for liike 10 years now i wish i had a camera so i could put some videos up too lol this song is fairly easy though GJ :D

[curtb47]

You play wonderfully...Inspirational!

[TheInfallibleChase]

in the lyrics instead of "as sure as tomorrow will come" its assurance tomorrow will come

[AprilMaybeMay]

Nice tone, really nice atmosphere.

[TheTrooper181]

Man alll the effort I try to put in and this just inspired me to keep trying thanks!

[jippzmcghee]

You're super cute

also, I've decided not to give up on this song now. Thanks

[insomniac3011]

I will marry this girl

[insomniac3011]

Could you post tab on this please

[thematthilley]

beautiful :')

[MrKingOf420]

Just learned this song and watching your video helped greatly :D It's so chill, just makes me want to fall asleep

[ajmonster1]

very nice

[leorodrigoramos]

You are so cute with that smile at the end! :D I simply can't help smiling with you!

You play very well, and this song is amazing. Keep playng!

[wcfcarolina13]

Cool, now tell me how you play it XD

[mexiballa5]

great job !!! i love this song

[DRex00000]

beautiful cover.

[sircloud7]

what the heck, i thought you were gonna sing!

[MHTTFC]

Ohh this is beautiful, just like you:)

Keep playing

[maddison31797]

The lyrics are my favorite part. "I want your flowers like, babies want, God's love." Beautiful.

And great playing by the way. :)

[arizonabay6]

To the people complaining about the lyrics. Think about them a little more, the song is about the death of a loved one and the chorus is actually a little bitter about life and god.

[BusherWack]

Actually dude, you were way off.

The song isn't about death or God, it's about a girl showing how she really feels for a guy by talking and moving around in her sleep.

Which is why it's called Fever Dream, haha.

[ControlledAccidents]

yes

[jothehero]

if you tune the high e string down to d (or just not put the capo on all the way if your lazy like me) and hit that note, its easier than hitting the third fret on the b string each time, but whatever floats your boat. good job.

[DaveBranton123]

Nice but use your thumb on the bottom three bass strings always & it's easier. Also I play it different - but who knows who's right? Anyone got Sam Beam's number?

[AdemJashari56]

amazingg keep it up

[happybrick33]

to be honest even if i had a nice voice i wouldnt sing most of it. the lyrics of this song are silly

[7m28]

Agreed. that whole line of God's love is retarded. A bad attempt at being romantic/poetic.

[binsbein]

mm, cringetastic.

[akkillees]

agreed, the music needs better lyrics

[KSirias]

I haven't played guitar ever before, but my brother has a guitar and I really want to learn this song. Think I have any chance if I just keep trying? d:

[ptunya]

Absolutely! I would suggest starting out with some easier stuff first though to get a feel for the instrument and build finger strength. Have fun!

[nataliewheeleryo]

5 stars! that was really good

i also have an iron & wine cover if anyone wants to check it out! :D

[thytum]

and wheres the voice little? :)

i heard those dont sing got very nice voice :P

[Audreyy2121]

U R SO GOOD!!!!! you are amazing!

[janaeslearning]

I'm so down to sing for you while you play(:

It's so hard to do both.

After watching your video, I attempted to learn it on guitar, I haven't stopped yet, but it is challenging. Great job.

[Faomin]

Bravo

[loreleiluli]

your hands look amazingly elegant and the song i very goooooooood nice work

[Lazermatt]

Always stick this on my iPod when I go to have a smoke & watch the sun come up.

[manuelturcios]

I do the same but at midnight

[fugitive1201]

very beautiful. The song is nice too :)

[Saydang]

Mmm...beautiful sounding guitar. I have the exact same one. Martin DCME? Nice instrumental cover

[ptunya]

Yup, that's my baby! It's a great sounding guitar for the price. I thought I wanted a Taylor at first, but after realizing I'd have to eat ramen for a year to save up enough money...I'm quite happy with my Martin and good health. :)

[CommandantGill]

@ptunya There's nothing wrong with eating ramen for a year xD oh and great vid

[twigrat]

Very good. You sound great!

[slippywhistle]

Nice job.

BTW WE ARE....

PENN STATE!!!!

[ptunya]

Joe-Pa! Joe-Pa! I miss Happy Valley.

[BodiesInTheGrass]

Absolutely beautiful. (: Very nice. I wish I could play the guitar like that.

[atticus27]

wow nice, you should incorporate some vocals!!

[TheSilence1]

Lovely, five stars. I want to play this song for my girlfriend. Is it possible at all for you to share the tabs with me?

-Jon

[ptunya]

Aw, I bet she'd love that! I didn't use a tab though, wish I could help. :( Maybe try a google search?

[PrisonRomyBreak]

beautiful.

[fustah86]

nice string control..very well done.

[raybanfoxman]

I'll pay you to do that behind me while I edit prints... Or I could just hit replay :)

Very well done. Please keep them coming!

[VlaamsSoldat]

One of the first songs I tried to master, brings back memories. Well done m'lady.

[dommyl]

could listen to that all day

[rockershayan18]

you suck!

[ptunya]

Enlightened constructive criticism...lol. :P

[italiangrl3343]

let s see you play this.

keep going!

this is the most beautiful song

and you capture it perfectly.

[TheDreadPirateJack]

very nicely done :)

[6parts7]

you're playing it wrong. try tuning the high E string down to a D. it will sound much more fluid, unlike the way you're playing it.

[RoyAnnashi]

You don't have to play it like Samuel Beam, for it to sound nice, same way you don't have to play other songs the same. There is a big difference between covering a song and copying it.

[Chiwalker]

Wow, beautiful.

I was also talking about the music.

[RockwellCreek]

Excellent job. Can tell you put some time into this one. It's awesome to see someone play it so well .The best cover of this song done on youtube,without vocals. Perfect, girl.

[RustInPeace1331]

Wow...I just purchased this song recently, and it's come to be one of my favorites by Iron and Wine. You truly do the depth of the song justice, and I agree that singing along would be phenomenal.

[conti0021]

your amazing, thats a great cover, made me want to hug you! LOL where are you from, i want to play and record with you...your great lol resond back please!

[israelxkv8r]

great job!!

[apollosgirl]

Absolutely beautiful.

[Sayekuu]

you play it almost exactly like i do, but a little better,great job 5/5 you should sing it

[LedZeppelin2525]

u should play "Naked As We Came", its really easy

[jzmint]

wow...that was extremely amazing=]

im getting an acoustic guitar and that is the first song i would LOVE TO learn how to PLAY.

i just have no idea how to play a guitar but im definantly going to learn...again, that was great=]]

[PutzerLovesYou]

this song is sort of difficult i would suggest jesus the Mexican boy by iron and wine because its much easier but has the same feel as this song. of course anything with finger picking is going to be difficult to a beginner

[mightymouse555]

This song makes me cry, even when you dont' sing it.. great job.. tear tear lol

[poppiesrule]

thanks for these films. ive seen them all and your phrasing is spot on every time. i hope you will share more with us soon---judging by the other films out there you have much to teach the rest of us. its a treat to watch you play, you have personality and your chord progressions are easy to follow. are you taking requests?

[ptunya]

Sure, I can try! What would you like me to play?

[poppiesrule]

oh, lets see. hows about... jezebel? lead or rhythm, doesnt matter. its not particularly complicated, i just like it. hey, great website by the way. what are all you people doing on the west coast. its just not fair. cheers D

[blackcat1134]

Oh man, thanks so much for this, I had no idea how to even attempt the middle peice after the chorus! Great job playing it!

[styrofoamtomato]

Love this song, very, very, very, very, very, very nicely done.....Will you marry me? :^)

[ptunya]

LOL ;P

[Thowarth15]

All i can say is wow!

You hit every note perfectly! Congratulations to you, a true Iron & Wine fan!

[JafarAlgerez]

Great job. I still can't get the ending of the chorus :D

I don't know how she tuned it since she played it by ear, but the way I play it requires tuning the e string down to d.

[ptunya]

I used standard tuning capo'd(?) at the 2nd fret.

[JafarAlgerez]

Oh I see now. You play D string and the B string to start off. Got it. :)

[RuwanWij]

cool .. thanks!

[RuwanWij]

Awesome!! Are you using standard tuning to play this ?

[amjcore]

Thanks for turning me on to Iron & Wine!!!

[garjagan]

oh god - that song always makes me sad... but in a nice way, if that's possible! Great job. I've tried playing it from some poor tabs but your version sounds way better.

[ptalex1976]

i just played the tune myself, wish we could jam together, i could play the solo part on top... i think we'd have a good time :-)

[ptalex1976]

great picking, nice guitar, and great looks - now it's about time you start to sing it!

[Osmun79]

I learn by ear as well, and clearly you have a very good ear. I'd love to see an original of yours

[Axis777]

Would you happen to know where I can find the tabs for "Red Dust" by "Iron & Wine"? Preferably their e.p. version, Thank You :) By the way, nice playing & gorgeous smile too :) Take Care, Jack

[ptunya]

Hm, I don't know where to find that tab. I learn by ear mostly. Sorry! :)

[Axis777]

Bummer. Thanks Anyway. I'm Sure It's Out There Somewhere. Thanks For Responding :) Peace - Jack

[andrehviotto]

so cute!!!

[inaudiblemelodie]

lovely :)

[Tpoolman]

Nice! There is a lot of fantastic music in the Seattle area. I hope you have a chance to play around here but in the mean time I hope you keep posting your music. Cheers

[Tpoolman]

Great playing. Any chance you are going to be playing in the Seattle area any time soon? It would be very cool to hear you singing/playing on stage with a band!

[ptunya]

Thanks! Check out the website (in my profile), that's my stuff with my old band. Unfortunately they are back east and I'm out here in Tri-Cities now, not all that far from Seattle...hope to get something new together soon!

[thisjustin3]

great pickin

[Sevealoth]

Use that nifty little capo of yours to put it in a key where you can sing it =) I want to hear!

Nicely played though.

[inaudiblemelodie]

Nicely Done!

[april1819]

beautiful

[bcatcher85]

Girl after my own heart. I hope you're not too embarrassed to sing...for such a pretty lass, I'm sure there's a beautiful voice to match.

[sprflyenya]

oh, give me a break, looks have nothing to do with vocals, stop beign such a wanker. And for such a bloody easy song, she messes up quite a few times, which woudl be forgetable if she played with any sort of soul.

[bcatcher85]

you're a sad, sad little human being...aren't you?

[ptunya]

Lol - can't please everyone. :)

[bcatcher85]

apparently not...don't worry though, he's outnumbered by people who think you did a lovely job.

[sprflyenya]

I am also outnumbered by people that think the rapture is coming within their life time, what exactly is your point?

[ptunya]

Ok kids, don't make me pull this car over...:P

p.s. - Christians only make up about 33% of the worlds religious population (according to the CIA 2007 Factbook).

[letambourinnoir]

wow...

BEAUTIFULLY played...

why don't you sing?

[ptunya]

Thank you! The vocals aren't in my range, unfortunately - maybe in one of then next songs I'll sing.
