The fact that you learned this by ear is just amazing, because I could barely make out anything in that song. It's just all drums+vox+bass+guitar all imploded into a piece of awesomeness.
Six string guitars (with normal strings) are naturally a bit out of tune and unsettled when you tune it to Drop C. By all rights, it'd be better on a seven string with a low B tuned up. Oh, sorry, none of you bastards know about guitar tuning? My mistake.
Give the guy a break, about "tune it in and it'll sound better". Like you know anything.
actually. you can set guitars up for drop tunings etc. i have 3 guitars one of them set for standard one of them set for Eb and the other one for drop c.
Yeah, exactly. What I'm saying is this is clearly a regular guitar, not set up for Drop C. You can just tell. That's why it sounds rough. Particularly if the strings have been tuned up for a long time. He learned this by ear the day after it was first played. I'm sure he could take a bit of time and put out a "perfect" version. But he's an honest man and just sticks with this. Respect to the man. At least he proves he can play it. Most people commenting can't. All they can moan about is tuning.
give this guy a break, i remember when radio 1 played this song for the first time on Zane's show and a day later this dude put this video up covering it by ear, it might be out of tone but bloody hell it was a good effort
Tune....I thought all guitarists could tell the difference once at this level.......Other than that not bad....Probably because i love the song soooooo much
I don't care if somebody's gay or not. Are you calling me a homophobe? You fucking prejudiced cunt. Let people live their lives the way they choose to, you bigot.

kingsakoil 2 years ago
yeah playing was spot on. but i agree with others who say your guitar tone is complete shit. lol sorry mate.
maybe it's because you're using humbuckers over simons strat?
single coils all the way!
mclean90 2 years ago
Simon tends to use humbuckers for quite a bit of the studio recordings, he says they don't work out for him live though,
hence the strat's and tele's.
Or so i read. :)
