  • Nice cover! One of my favorite weezer songs

  • I agree! The later parts are hard to sing. I feel like a dork when I attempt to sing it.

  • You kinda look like that guy from Linkin Park in this video...also I really like your covers keep up the good work dude!

  • I think the song really ends where you ended it. After that Rivers just goes into a bit about how his mom ruined his chances at finding love, which I'm sure was beautiful and meaningful for him, but doesn't make a lot of sense in a cover. Great work. You were excellent.

  • @BattleGamerNews But I like the whole key change-y section, and the last verse too! It's not for acoustic really though.

  • pretty good, a little soul-less if you know what I mean.

  • Really good job. You're right, it is quite a hard song to sing and play along to (most of the tab online suggests chord changes at the wrong time). However, your video shows the best way to do it, so thank you!

  • beautiful beautiful BEAUTIFUL.

    dearest john, you are amazing.

  • what kind of guitar is that if u dont mind me asking?

  • Voice is ok...but guitar is awesome!!

  • you look like paul the intern from MTV canada, look him up

  • very nice acoustic cover.

    love it !

  • I actually prefer this to the original- definitely the best cover of this song on youtube! :D

  • really good cover man keep it up

  • :( </3

  • love this song... good job man. Also, how is that when British people sing American songs, their accents disappear?

  • g'day, i'm australian actually. i just sing in the accent the song was written for. australian vowel sounds are really different to american and can sound pretty jarring to the ear, especially in a weezer song. ha. there are a few aussie artists that are writing their songs around their accent, like missy higgins for example, and it works for her. but quite often it can sound plain awful.

  • yeah i think it's also because a lot of why accents are different is because of the way pitch changes in the middle of sentences, and in a song, the pitch is already decided.

    really great cover btw

  • oh nvm i think i got em.

    is it G Bm C D?

  • does anyone know the chords for this song?

  • yay epic win

  • please, do the full cover

  • Really nice joB!!!

  • wtf that was awesome! You have a great voice. Keep up the good work!

  • Probably the best weezer cover I've seen on youtube! Nice stuff man. Do some more weezer covers ;)

  • in case anyone's interested, the bridge is something like this (all flat tuning):

    Bb, Bb/A, Gm, F, Eb, F

    Gm, Dm, Gm, Dm, C

    Em, Bm, Em, Bm, A

    F#m, C#m, F#m, C#m,

    E, A, B

    then

    E, E/Eb, C#m, B, A, B

    then key change back to G! piece of cake!

  • Let's try that again, Here's what I meant to say:

    Fan-freakn'-tastic!!

    If I walked in to a little pub or a coffee shop and you played all acoustic weezer songs, solo, I wouldn't leave until you were completely done.....then I would request another one.

    :)

    There, that's better.
