[meonyouztubecom]

your voice sounds just like billies=) =very cool!

where are your fingers? I wanna know how you play it!XD

[vansfreek]

@meonyouztubecom thanks. the chords are G, E, C, and D.

[meonyouztubecom]

@vansfreek oh cool thanks =D

[eebeni]

@vansfreek It's Emin not E. :)

[MG21749]

amazing job man, great voice and guitar playing, i love it!

[KingWYZenator]

I love this cover! better than avril lavigne's covers haha :D good job ^^!

[mortimerk180]

GREAT COVER MAN!!!  max from Argentina

[Xxdisasterofwalkingx]

I love your cover! you make it sound so upbeat. GREAT JOB!

[IXcircle]

wheres your face?

you have such a great voice btw, bravo

[vansfreek]

I'm a mysterious figure.

[CloverZack]

Hmm not quite, it's pretty good, but the chords aren't quite right unless your microphone wasn't picking it up properly. The correct chord sequence is:

Main verse:

G, C, G, D x3 then C, D, G--do this twice for each verse

Chorus:

G, Em, G, D, G, Em, G, C, D

[joshey69drummer]

good job:D:D

[Pelinnor]

copy of beatles i should have known better on the first part

[vansfreek]

prove it

[HaniiPuppy]

Look up "Could've Known Better" by the beatles. It's where Greenday got the harmonica from.

[RyanRotten80]

i'm sure they just got their harmonica from a music shop. they're pretty cheap online though

[HaniiPuppy]

oh ha ha

[payyoursurgeon]

the beatles are a very influential part of music. and honestly their melodies and harmonies are duplicated through most songs. who can NOT be influenced by the beatles?

[timeflies91]

the song bears a strong resemblance to "about a girl" by nirvana. the verse i mean... musically.

[TheSarconor]

Very good voice !

I love green day !

[GreendayFanY]

this song is suuuuper for your voice!!1

keep making covers with singing

[RifkiCobain]

great voice,,, :)

[FabioBrescia81]

Great! Compliments! It's a beautiful cover!!!!

[SirynLove]

wow, impressive! you sound a bit like billie joe -- great voice ;D and nice song choice from an underrated album

[punkJahve]

nice work...to bad u didn t play the solo.....otherwise good job 4 stars :)

P.S. could u tell how s the struming of the chorus....I can get it right (in verse its down down or down up down).....that staff

thx xD

[mircio21]

awesome good job

[thegreendeyan]

great!! ;)

[59shrink]

it´s very very good ... great voice and playing also

[dcataldo3]

ahh i see now. did you do something to the tuning? because i play bass and i cant figure it out to go along with your tuning of it

[vansfreek]

Yeah, it's tuned a step down.

[dcataldo3]

wooooow excellent guitar. also a great voice too. keep up the good work man lets hear some more green day covers

[vansfreek]

I have plenty of them. Check 'em out.

[whiteplague07]

[Patricksumiswald]

[Symphonie1975]

Great cover, keep it up!!!

[SuzieCreamCheese]

[jimmysrebel]

rhdsfhsdjhs.

thats so good :D

[Jimmi21584]

nice job man i love green day

[bink128]

Amazing! I'm trying to learn this song on guitar, but I can't strum that well xD

[GreenDayXRJAfreak]

wow, I thought it was billie joe singing for a second.

nice =D

[saugat805]

yea me too

[TuneForWhile]

yeah you sound like billy!!

[TimKeey]

how do you do that, "stop" strings here

when you lost al hope and exuces an the cheapstakes("stop")

do you just stop the string with hand

or on some other way?

[ShutURBiG]

Hey, what tuning are you playing with, bro?

[vansfreek]

I think in this video I was down a step.

[justseanmusic]

sorry to bother you but what chords are you playing?

id sit and learn it but quite frankly, i cant be arsed =]

thanks for posting btw, great cover!

peace!

[SaintJimmay]

good job, but you should have shown your face:)

[Nominativek]

Hey, you are awesome! You play D, G Em, and chord used in good riddance?

[GothicGreendayGuy]

great.

[Irinainaina]

&#9829

[Nominativek]

Yea, great cover, you've excellent voice man.

[PlanB198]

im not hatein i think you amazing but i think its kind of funny a conservative guy like likes green day so much who obviously hate conseratibes,,,

[vansfreek]

Just because I strongly disagree with their political views doesn't mean I don't think they make great music. I love Green Day.

[dumboflag]

if you write your own music you could be something

[dumboflag]

you sound like billie joe

[LastCokeInTheDesert]

Just so they know how greatly tuned you are vocally, in the first 'Hoooooooooooooooooold on' I thought you stopped singing but your voice is totally in tune with the guitar. Mad props man!

[Xxdisasterofwalkingx]

you're super :D

[Jojjoheartgreenday]

I just wanted to say that I have been listening to this non-stop for like 30 minutes now ;D I love your cover :)

[ILUVTOLUV]

OMG!! BJ???? is that you? no i'm kidding...great cover!

[irishmilkman]

great job, loved it

[igorawrxox]

i love your voice.

[BurningOut101]

great job dude!!

[laxboard00]

good job, what chords are you using?

I always thought it was G C, but yours sounds different

[vansfreek]

Yea I'm not playing C I'm playing the chord used in "Good Riddance", where he individually picks the strings, can't think of the name off the top of my head.

[fptrugby15]

c2 chord. He uses G2 as well in good riddance. Its just a slight variation of the two chords. add the pinky and your all set.

[raegod23]

GREAT JOB! CHECK OUT MY COVER!

[greenleaf234]

DUDE!! amazing job! you've got a great voice and good solid guitar skills. i only wish i could have seen your hands while you were playing this song. still, you did a fantastic job!

[Coolieoh49]

Woah thats you? i thought it was billie joe!

[mrpooper]

HAHA! that one guy asked for the tabs. it's like, uhhhhhhhh KKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Governater]

[marsx3isntlovely]

I love you. Thats terrific. Sounds better then Green Day<33

[hellsangel22]

no it doesnt.

it sounds really good.

but not better than Green Day.

awesome job though.

[bestnetnavi]

Good job!!!

[1upguy]

i like this verson better than green days

[hellsangel22]

its pretty good.

but i mean...i dont think anyone can cover a song and be able to be compared to as better than the band that created the song.

[vansfreek]

I agree

[BurningOut101]

i really love your other covers, but this one KICKS ASS!!! dude you're great!!! keep it up!!! :)

[1upguy]

never heard the song .. but i like it ^.^

[talitha0]

omg perfect gwoon!

[toprakk72]

your voice is awsome and really a lot like billie's. it was great.. =)

[lookamonkey1]

Holy shit! That sounded a hell of a lot like Billie Joe. Great job.

[hellsangel22]

i know.

it made me curious as to if he had a recording in the background.

maybe. idk.

[vansfreek]

No I don't have recording in the background. This is 100% me. I don't sound like Billie Joe.

[ParadoxProductions]

Hate to break it too you... but u do sound like him more so then the other people covering him.

[thexransom]

I'm not sure how you could accuse him of that :P

If you concentrate on his neck, you can see that he's actually singing it.

So yeah...

[ParadoxProductions]

i wasn't accusing him of lip syncing... he said he doesnt sound like BJ, i said he does sound like him.

[iasonsp]

did u starded with G/B or G?

[MUSIClifee]

you should show your face, you sound like your hott

[cornizzle36]

Another one of my favourite songs. Amazing job, once again. I love your covers.

[SynRaine]

Excellent cover. I love Warning - best Green Day album ever.

[ana0506]

damn i love how u sing this song it really good!!!

[hass123456]

You know what. I love all your covers and I find people like you a good inspiration, to go away, and try and get as good!

Thanks!

[closetemo32]

this was great... this song has actually been getting stuck in my head lately.

yeah, i agree that warning is an underrated album. i actually didn't like it as much as their other stuff at first, but now i love it... idunno, i think i was just thrown off at first by how different it was from older green day. nimrod will always be my favorite though.

btw, you have a good voice... you should try singing more in your videos.

[greenb0y]

cool 8 )

[sailorxdesiree]

this one is my favorite.

[maggie168]

What's the strumming pattern on that?

[Pipipat]

everyone hates the warning album, i think that if you play a lot of acoustic, its an awesome album... really good man

[vansfreek]

thanks man.  yes this is a very underrated album. i think its awesome.

[Roflcopter192]

Awesome, man! Haven't heard jackshit from Green Day -- hadn't heard that song before. It's a cool song!

[pksmb1120]

Nice. This is one of their lesser popular songs that I like. That and Macy's Day Parade too.

[schiggy182]

amazing! nice fender acoustic by the way.

[oOflanbyOo]

Very good cover!!(like all your other covers^^)

How long have you been playing?Anyway, keep doing this you're great!

[vansfreek]

ive been playing for about 10 months

[smgboyfabian]

Wow, that's awesome! It's really short! your vocals are AWESOME!

[jason1der]

do u use webcam? vidcam? and audio use for your vids? and your guitar is real nice!!! this was so amazing!! i think all your green day covers are better then the original , no kidding!! - :D

[vansfreek]

hey thanks a lot man. yea i use a webcam and a Logitech microphone. nothin special.

[mrpooper]

OMG. if i were an atheist i would have to name you as my new god. but i am not one of those pagan/scientific ass suckers. that was awesome, dude
