Paul Weller - Country (Cover)

[cuntbollockswank]

Fuckin hell pal, am diggin these. I dunno what the friggin debate is on this page about chords and shit, that was great. I've seen Weller more times than I can remember and he hits his fair share of bum chords, you don't have to be a musician to spot them, but that makes live music all the more fuckin thrilling. I couldn't give a fuck if it's an E, F, G or a fuckin 1-2-3, as long as it sounds good and it connects then who gives a fuck? I'd like to see you do Man of Great Promise! Cheers pal.

@cuntbollockswank Thanks mate! Yeh I've often thought about doing Man Of Great Promise it's a top class song. Maybe one day hah.

[11thedogfather]

good job mate maybe d tune your low e string

[Mad606]

I am confused........ where is there any critisism in my comment? I am just posting my opinion and how I beleive the song is actually played. As far as not posting any videos of myself. What does that have to do with my earlier comments? I may do if I choose to but probably not. I have nothing to prove. I was merely trying to add something constructive to the comments page.

Nice cover. And as for the chord debate, after the D is Gmaj7 xx5432 and then G. Ive saw Weller play this live and its definitely, 100% Gmaj7. Great version though. :)

[bloodnokian]

Thanks man :) I figured the only other chord that would fit was a Gmaj7. I'm just so used to doing a D7 now. Cheers for the comment.

[Mad606]

Which part of the song are you debating? Is it at the start of the verses? If so I can settle this 100% The book you mention, if its the same I have its for piano. There was never a guitar tab and notation version ever made. This makes the Wildwood book slightly misleading as far as using it for guitar. The chord after the D at the start is a D5, before going back to D and Dsus4 etc...

How can you debate, criticize or even try to mentor how a song is suppose to be played when you yourself don't have a single song you can say you played yourself (your channel is bare). What are you, a passive or an active critic?

[darrensmart]

lol :) just try it mate

[bloodnokian]

I did and it doesn't sound right. But that's beside the point, you play it your way I play it mine, it doesn't really matter in the end as I'm not doing note for note copies, just my version of songs I like. I've played Country that way since '94 so I'm not going to change it now :P

[darrensmart]

you got the chords wrong mate

it goes fron D straight to the G ...hope this helps

[bloodnokian]

No idea what part you mean. But I'll be sure to return the Wildwood chord book I bought in 1994 to the shop as it must be wrong, thanks. :P

Edit: I watched your version of Country and now I know what you mean but you're still wrong I'm afraid, it goes to a D7 not straight to the G. :)

[darrensmart]

SORRY I CHECKED IT OUT AND WE ARE BOTH WRONG IT GOES TO Bm AFTER THE D. TRY IT SEE WHAT YOU THINK.

[bloodnokian]

Nope it really is a D7, trust me. The only other chord that would sound ok is a Gmaj7.

A tip; don't believe any tab or chord sites you see online because 99% of them are flawed.

[darrensmart]

NO MATE trust me its Bm if you cant hear that you must be tone def sorry

[bloodnokian]

I must be tone deaf then. :)

[meanmistreater2]

Really good! The song fits your style very well.

[MuNkYBizNess]

Hey hey, look out! Hehe, I remember talking to you about this song a while back. Great to see you playing it man! Awesome stuff :)

[bloodnokian]

It was you reminding me of the song that made me do it but I've played it better :P

I looked around aswell there are some great versions out there.
