[v4lkyr]

mh the chords are really messed up.. sounds cool though

[tcsullivan88]

FANTASTIC!! 

[MsGreenthings]

[hmp22]

Haters gonna hate, this is an amazing cover.

[MrDisturbedJuggalo]

i like it

[eViLJ666]

its wrong but i like it !!!

[parduccistain]

"Polly wants a cracker..."

[koryyyy]

Awesome Work dude!

I can´t even whistle and walk, and you play this song so good :)

thanks for share your great work.

[JohnnMulder]

Better than the original. more soul. I like :D

[Sk3z]

wrong chords, wrong tempo, keep studying :P

[zille89]

@Sk3z :D Yeah, like I'm doing some official Monkey Island -soundtrack here. Playing the excatly same thing is like copy pasting your homeworks from Wikipedia. Why bother to do anything by yourself. That's too creative.

[Sk3z]

@zille89 you can lie to yourself or you can study more, your choise. I too fell for this, then i realized i was wrong and started studying, and now i'm a lot better, but i still feel i'm far from where i want to be. Everybody can play some crap\wrong chords, but only those who studied can create something nice to hear. And my friend this is not, and i really hope you don't take this as a denigration. Music is beautifull if you know how to play it and respect it by studying it. Regards

[zille89]

@Sk3z Yea, that's cool. I understand you, and agree with that. But this wasn't meant to be so serious thing. Just having fun. I really didn't believe that anybody would bother to even comment this stuff, it's not so special. But 158 have liked this and 13 not. So after all, it can't be totally crap. To most of the people. Even though the chords aren't right and there are parts where the melody and the chord really sounds bad. But I guess it's still entertaining.

[MrHelviti]

@zille89 Sorry but I gotta agree with Sk3z. Your stuff is messed up man thus making it that less entertaining. Not that it's bad or anything

[MagicAccent]

@Sk3z

You don't have to study and "respect" music, only respect yourself and what you do. If you don't, you might as well do something else.

Maybe when you pull that stick out your ass, you might find that there is no wrong way to play music, even if it sounds like shit.

[dominic508]

@Sk3z ''only those who studied can create something nice to hear'' . Wrong

[ZephTES]

@dominic508 So fucking wrong.

Jimi Hendrix.

[dominic508]

@ZephTES Exactly :P

[TheRogueMonk]

@Sk3z but some people cant study for some reasons .. like i cant... i dont know why.. i never had good grades in anything.. but why cant i play music?

[axxxel83]

@Sk3z Music is a transportation system for emotions not for perfection. A Computer is perfect, but he doesn´t make good music, because, he has no emotions... Think about it.

[CaylisGrenouille]

@Sk3z well... You fight like a cow!!!

[Sk3z]

@CaylisGrenouille lol, I am rubber you are glue :D

[tcsullivan88]

@Sk3z Haha greatest line ever!!

[craftsb]

YEAH MAN!!! 

[sixstringsentence]

I hear the chords from Polly in there :O

[cavac]

"Madre de Dios! Es el Pollo Diablo!"

[MrDryblood]

I just went to buy a G-harp just because of this video.. Thanks a lot.. 30€ well spent.. 

[zille89]

@MrDryblood Wow, cool! :) That's nice to hear. Everybody has their own reasons of starting something. I started to play harmonica when I bought The Eagles album 'Desperado'. The opening song, "Doolin' Dalton" had so beautiful harmonica melody that I decided that I must have one of those too.

[TheIcream12]

Can't stop watching this, so good! And loving the Floyde poster ;)

[gabrielejazz]

OK OK, But unfortunately the chord are not correct

[ROFLBLACKPEOPLE]

ROFL BLACK PEOPLE

[shandiana]

Way to do this individually, this is awesome!

You should do Blues Traveler music; the only other thing as amazing as LucasArts.

[TheProjas8887]

It´s th best drug for one creed.

[EddieFrenchComedian]

Sounds like Polly by Nirvana!

That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, of course. Merely an observation.

[Karadiel]

Cool guitar, cool video

[valecloud]

Awesome ! :D

[perastikosssss]

good stuff :)

[JustWatchingMan]

rock on!!! you got talent!!!

[Necrolokost]

Rad as Hell !!!

[megion4]

Its cool.

Can give tabs for harmonica?

[zille89]

@megion4 Sorry, no tabs. I learned it by ear. It's not difficult. You should try. Chords for the guitar are Em G D C and the harp is in key of G.

[Zambeezo]

@megion4 YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[angryredcom]

Niiice, do you have tabs for guitar and harp? what key harp are you using?

[zille89]

@angryredcom Thanks! Chords for the guitar is Em G D C. So the harp is G. But if you don't have G-harp you can of course play it from different key. With C-harp the chods would be Am C G F. I don't have tabs for the melody. But it's not hard to learn by listening. I learnt it that way.

[angryredcom]

@zille89 Lucky me, I have 2 harps, C and G! good at guitar listen and play (so I dont know why I asked you for guitar tab) But im awful at transcribing Harp, any chance i could twist your arm into writing one up?

[subgrinder]

haha ! awesome



[patwotrik]

Yes, but it was not the reggae style i was thinking of. I was thinking about the chords. Sounds like a Creedence version. No offence. You've done a nice job.

[zille89]

@patwotrik Ok. I think that's cool. :) I think it's good thing if cover sounds different than the original.

[patwotrik]

Nice job, but have you intentionally chosen wrong chords? It does not sound "wrong" but different.

[zille89]

@patwotrik Thanks. Yea I know it doesn't go like that. But it was too hard to play that reggae style and blow a harmonica at the same time. And I actually found those chords from some tab. But I think it sounds good that way also. Good enough :)

[patwotrik]

@zille89 Never trust tabs :)

[PablooGR]

Is the monkey island theme in Neil Young style!!

[zille89]

@PablooGR Allright! Thanks :) Neil Young rocks! Just like MI.

[PablooGR]

Is the monkey island theme in Neil Young style!!

[takanto1]

Man you are great!!! I love that game, i grew up playing this game!! It was perfect from every possible way!

[zille89]

@takanto1 Thanks. :) I also grew up with this (and couple of others). This brings back so many good memories :) Especially because it's so awesome game! It would be shame if we would have grown up with some shitty game. There would be two more Angry Video Game Nerds more then, I think :)

[takanto1]

@zille89 Yes that's true! I mean it was and still is a game that makes think a lot but also make me laugh a lot! It's the best game ever! :-p I'd like to see and monkey island 5! I've finished of course tales of monkey island!!! heheh!

[pockysama]

impressive, wonderful, awesame...

can't find other words for this... <3

[zille89]

@pockysama Well that's just enough :) Thank you very much!

[Jevgein]

sonunds somekind of newstyle and it's cool

[zille89]

@Jevgein That's nice to hear :) I think it's better if cover sounds somehow different than the original. Every artist have something of their own they add to it.

[onecreativecriminal]

fucking awesome dude!!

[zille89]

@onecreativecriminal Thanks :)

[leocaes]

just a word, great!!!

[zille89]

@leocaes :) Thank you.

[angryredcom]

FUUUUUUUUUEWKING AWESOME, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck

[zille89]

@angryredcom Thanks. :)

Haha, that's a good one. Guybrush is so clever.

[derKari]

nicely done! awesome!

greets from germany...

[zille89]

Thanks man! :)

[Chirisa1]

only complaint is it's short so i have to start it over all the time ;) sounds awsome!!!!

[zille89]

Yea, that's true. It is little short. Sorry :) But nice to hear you like it anyway :) Thanks.

[miln40]

Quite awesome, of course. but.. did you find the harp tabs for the theme somewhere or did you just do it by ear?

[zille89]

By ear. It's not so difficult after all. And even if it's difficult, you should do it so it becomes "easy" :) If you play guitar you can first train it with guitar, if it's easier for you. And after that try with the harmonica. Play the notes with guitar, and after every note, find the same note from your harmonica.

The guitar chords I found somewhere. They aren't even the right chords, but it sounds OK anyway I think :)

Em G D C

Those are the chords. So the harmonica should be G.

[LewisDre4m]

MAN THAT FUCKING ROCKED

[zille89]

Thank you. :)

[Harrysound]

I fickin love this tune.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[zille89]

:) Yea. There's something magical in it. And it brings back some memories, so good memories.

[Buitre91]

AWESOME!, i cant stop listening the song, is that a blues harmonica?

My congratulations from Uruguay =)

[zille89]

Hello! :) And thank you very much.

The harmonica is Hohner Marine Band in the key of G. That's the best harmonica I have ever tried and you can play both blues and folk very good with it. :) Great blues harmonica player, Adam Gussow, uses also same harmonicas.

[zille89]

Thanks. :) Of course I had to train it, but it's not impossible ;) But yea, it took more than just few hours. And still it's hard sometimes, like if I try to play some riffs with guitar and harmonica at the same time, it's too difficult. But playing justsome chords and blowing in the harmonica, it's not very difficult after all :)

[antrix25]

the guitar sounds like polly from nirvana , but still very god job man , i love this theme

[zille89]

Thank You. :) Someone else said that Nirvana thing too. It is a good theme, and especially very good game! :)

[monkeyswithladders]

Very cool. All five stars from me to another MI lover :D check out my cover if you get a chance. Take it easy!

[zille89]

Thanks, I'll check it out! :)

[hampe86]

thats great.

[zille89]

Thanks. :)

[jacobtheman12]

You did good but gutair was slow

[zille89]

Oh, ok. Well thanks anyway :)

[jacobtheman12]

I LOVE THAT GAME

[zille89]

We all do. :)

[sktslime]

U even look faintly like guybrush..

[zille89]

Oh, well, thank you, I ques... :) Never heard that before. But instead of wanting to be a pirate, I would like to be a cowboy. :)

[gatin9015]

exclent cover my friend

i see you also listen to floyd

keep on rockin!

[zille89]

Thank you. :) Aye, 70's rock is very close to my heart. Especially all that progressive stuff :)

[Lucasdelima]

This is awesome!!! I agree with sebytheman, you're fantastic man!!!

I wanna to try play it, what key is your harmonica? G?

[zille89]

Thanks! :)

The chords are Em G D C. That's not how the song really goes, but close enough I think :) I couldn't play that original reggae style (which can be heard in the beginning and the end) with playing harmonica same time, so I had to figure out something easier. And the harmonica melody I learned by ear, so I don't have any tabs to give you.

But yea, Hohner Marine Band in the key of G. I'm sure you can learn it ;)

[Thehazzard]

holly shit! this is awesome!

congrats for this masterpiece!

[zille89]

Maybe not a masterpiece, but thanks anyway! :)

[05mccoyc]

@Thehazzard Hey man leave Holly outta this

[ralphich]

polly was a cracker!!!!nirvana XD

[zille89]

Aye. :)

[sebytheman]

this is amazing, you're fantastic man. You deserve so many more views

[zille89]

That's nice to hear :) Thank you.

[zille89]

:) Oh, okey. I just listened that song, never heard it before. And yea it kind of reminds this song :)

[FabioBee1982]

I mean. Something reminds me Polly from Nirvana (even though it's really different, I know). And since it's monkey island, polly is very appropriate. "Polly wants a cracker?"

[FabioBee1982]

Great tribute. It's got a Polly vibe ;)

[zille89]

Thanks :) Even though I have no idea what's Polly vibe

[PALU3K]

thats awsome!!!!!! Keep on playin a longer piece!!! good job mate! ;)

[zille89]

Thanks! :) Maybe I will work on some other MI songs later, who knows.

[ozzysong]

Awesome tribute man!

[zille89]

Thank you! :) Glad you like it.

[Turkanen]

Ihan puhdasta parhautta

[zille89]

Tattikset! :) Hyvä jos maistu.

[HomerJay2007]

Wow, this is f*n good! :)

Respect!

It surely took you a long time to cobine the guitar and the harp?

[zille89]

Thanks! :)

Well it's not impossible, but yea, of course I had to train it. :) And I learned the melody by ear.

[pannupoo]

aploodeja taputi tap tap

[zille89]

Tattis. :)

[zille89]

Tattista. :)
