"Here is no Why" acoustic cover

[ammittei]

Beautiful singing and playing.

[bradnightwing]

I found this because I've been learning this song on acoustic guitar solo as well . I wanted to see what other people were doing with it. . I'm really good at the guitar part, but my voice is nowhere as beautiful as yours. I've been trying to imitate you especially on the chorus: "you'll forever staaaay" gets me everytime.. You do it better than Billy. Good job.

[rydidog]

Hey, I've said this alot, but this is my favorite acoustic cover of yours! When you get around to posting some new ones your should do an updated acoustic version of this. Your playing/singing has only gotten better since then! ;)

[toringbearer]

@rydidog Hey, thanks! I actually watch this video now and then and think, "Wow, I could have done a lot better." So what the heck, I might just re-do this. Might as well! omg, I posted this four years ago!!!! I'm so oooooooooold :(

[dizzyisme]

one of my favorites on mellon collie. great job!

[legruneflickmaster]

Me gusta. Amazing kick ass solo

[murderousbastard83]

Love it. You should record it on your album! :)

[jseth1981]

WOW!!!! One of my life's most important songs and you nailed it! I've played this on acoustic before but it never sounded this good. Well done.

[ritter89]

Wow!! I thought this would be a disaster on the acoustic but I'm very impressed. It's borderline addictive. Strong vocals, clean playing and unique style. My only criticism is that the solo sounded too empty given that there's no rhythm guitar (not your fault, of course). Excellent!

[toringbearer]

@ritter89 Yeah, I wish I were more creative so I could come up with a nice sounding "acoustic" solo there... but soloing isn't my strength :\

[9jayde9]

Coolest chick ever

[frankski]

You know how many times I've watched this?.....Well, a lot. Seriously, this is such an amazing cover. I'm still trying to learn it.

[sk8rboi456]

you totally sound like avril lavigne

[toringbearer]

@sk8rboi456 Avril sounds like ME.

[zerosum3]

awesome

[Tang526]

s o beautiful

[CriKMundo]

WOW! You're good at the guitar and got an amazing voice! That's one of my favorite from SP and I enjoyed your cover as much as I would enjoy the real song. One thing though...in my opinion, that would be even better if you do the solo part in a more acustic way...something from your own. Thanks for that great cover!

[TorturedSid]

Thanks for showing me how to play that, I much appreciate it! Great job, by the way!

[ocpud2999]

Great job!

[megamo08]

Well Done!!!!

[rallynut78]

Very nice! damn I'd like to be able o play it that well!

[forestghost07]

great job!! u sound a lil like Courtney Love but more together lol I think Im in love here :) I do this on a 60 yr old Gibson nylon string cuz the bass just roars on that guitar - keep at it ur good!!

[raderw311]

by far the best cover of this song on the web. kudos girl

[planet79telex]

this song is Corgan's masterpiece, all the parts flow together perfectly... and this cover is pretty good as well..

[Mcpanicfanic]

your voice is the bomb. its so hmmmm, i cant think of the right word. its really good.

[suplex2000]

What a wonderful job you did on my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song ever. I just wish we could have seen your face in the video. You were fabulous.

[infinitycero]

SIMPLY AMAZING!! LOVE YOUR VOICE

[peniosasdasd]

Thats a good voice for acoustic alt rock, the guitar sounds good too, but the playing could be a bit more fluid. This is coming from someone who critiques music better than he plays it, mind you. ;)

[kendemyx9]

love your voice

[dysentarygrambo]

i dont know what you're talking about this is RAD!

[alfonsofish]

you rule! my mum told me to turn this down as i was blasting it out. Great voice great song. you are far to talented. keep up the good work. lets hear your own music. you rule!

[upravdomable]

That's so nice!) Especially from musician's point of view - you definitely feel the instrument. I rate it highly, so 5 stars is yours)

[MotionBoardshop]

Amazing! Great axe and voice.

[peniosasdasd]

The little segway bit felt a little forced and quick, but it was really good overall.

[dignazzz]

i love that song!!! jesus and billy loves you. me too!

[unknownkingdom]

Hey, good job. I didn't expect it to flow so nicely at all.

[SUPERZENA27]

Great guitar play again, the few missed parts are compensated with a fantastic way of covering for it, a trait of a fantastic musician.. Turnt yr voice up for a pitch or two and its perfect!!

[scalfaroc]

Slap me sideways! That ROCKED!

[deathjam]

nice job, ur acoustic version sort of makes this song sound stone temple pilot-ish, i LOVED it, good voice too, 5/5 stars :)

[mdblue18]

Fantastic Job!

[gohssob]

Beautiful!!!

[flipingsweet779]

Great job! Even trying to tackle a Corgan song is bold in the first place. You did an amazing job. If you write your own music and can play the guitar as great in them as you did with that one you could make a great musician.

[ParisandSound]

totally rocking girl! I think this is one amazing guitar song. Billy Corgan is amazing.

[w3cows]

Great Strums!

Great CLEAN fingerings

GREAT BENDING!

Good Voice! Excellent JOB!

[TheKatefantastic]

that kicked ass.

[PimpCNuggz]

Wow, great cover.Your voice hit's all of Billie's melodies quite nicely, he would definitely be honored. 5 stars!

[guitaranthony]

You really helped me learn this song. Too bad I'm not nearly as good as you though. One of the best covers I've ever heard!

[hyeahrocker]

what the freak? you didn't fail, that was freakin' amazing!

[toringbearer]

haha! Well thank you :P

[AstoundedAtheist]

WOW!

[NauticalDisaster]

Well done, very solid cover I must say. This is one of my favourite Pumpkins songs.

[shawnportela]

Your voice was made for that tune. Well done.

[kball69]

rok on momma ^^ glad u love SP and radiohead, great bands to cover. keep playing and keep posting :)

[abstractadobo]

solo is tough on the acoustic; you're right. But you still rock my socks. Thanks for the tune.

[hey1chan]

ive watch this video at least a couple handfuls of times. you're so good.

[toothybj]

you should do tonight, tonight or cherub rock.

[toothybj]

Are you in Eb tuning? I tuned mine 1/2 step down and it doesn't sound in tune with yours. Maybe it's my guitar though.

Sounds great in any case!

[michelleangeline7]

You're freaking awesome chica!!

[TShane0423]

Your very good at guitar and singing.

[colorbarsat4am]

my favorite from the whole MCIS

[Benvanheesch]

wow well done!

[SpiteJay]

Fantastimazing! I can't believe Jimmy's gone now too... I don't know if I should be dismayed that the band isn't quite what it once was or dismayed that the pumpkins as I loved them are well and truely over... Thanks for keeping the faith anyways. Do crestfallen next!

[toringbearer]

I know! I whined about it for days when I found out :( But I'm glad to hear he's going to be making music with the Complex again! I love Life Beings Again. Hopefully Billy pulls something off without his other band mates...

[guitaranthony]

First of all, I want to tell you that this is amazing. I have been trying to learn this song and found this. ay this song...in the beginning after the E chord its goes into a slide of the harmonic chord where your first finger is on the the 4th fret 5th string and slides down to the 6th fret and back to the 4th. I have trouble pulling that slide off smoothly---any advice?

[eatALOTsleepALOT]

u probably hate this question but is there ne chance u can hook us up with the chords you used?

[password269]

I Love you! ....seriously...will you marry me?!

[toringbearer]

Oh marriage... just a complication. But I appreciate the offer!

[kyrib]

WOW!

Awesome job! My favorite pumpkins song.

[Editorsgold]

you have a beautiful voice and sounds too good

[leklek69]

GAY

[toringbearer]

actually, I like the men :)

[leklek69]

no, its not about you. its about your playing. its so gay i cant keep myself from watching it 24/7

[toringbearer]

I don't follow... but thank you just the same :)

[schnellimammi]

well done :D nice voice!!! A++

[GenericInsect1979]

This is the closest I'll get to the original demo, Corgan's voice was so beautiful on that version.

[Elite91]

where do you find your tabs?

[Cacota101]

Qué bonita. Con esa voz seguro que es una chica guapa.

[ugar]

i love the solo part at 2:44 (phf..) ;D

[brandonedge]

goosebumps. easily in my top 5 sp songs. should've been a big hit.

[NNYdust]

looks like you need a james iha by your side lol j/k ill!!!

[TheHHProject]

Love your voice. Its reminiscent of Jena Kraus when she did back up for "Mouthful of Cavaties" by Blind Melon.

[TheStrangeSituation]

You have a beautiful voice,

[fredpunk123]

sorry, i meant AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

excuse me for that!!!

[fredpunk123]

brilliant!

[whatdoyoooouwant]

man that is a+ my favorite song ever and now its even better

[hey1chan]

you did this song flawlessly. love your voice.

[isiguru]

your voice is fucking awesome! great cover

[parkdive]

Hi,

I adore !!!!! this song and you sing it the way I like it.

But i remember an old video of this song when you played it on an other guitar.

Cant find it anymore, is it still online?? :s

grtz

from Europe,

Tom

[toringbearer]

nope, it's not still online!  Sorry :(

[sergiowako]

amazing even the solo you should try it in a cutawey next time

Cheers!

[stoliboy]

Awesome... and great to hear a woman sing the song ;) You've also helped out my playing of this song (the way you use your pinky to mute the strings on the first notes). Cheers!

[conchombo]

me gustó tu voz mm me dejaste impresionado

[LoowheezeBreeze]

Holy crap. Great job?

[Haushinka1000Hours]

Really good. I don't mean to be that guy, but would you possibly have a tab of this, because I cant really see what chords you're playing.

[kbk092]

so good!!!

[ChesterCopprpot]

Lovely, and your voice is sexier than a bag full of dicks.

[RocketDescends]

Louie CK!

[andrewface]

that was terrible!

god look at those finger prints on that guitar

just kidding..very well done..and great song choice

[toringbearer]

lol, I was really sad at first XD But thank you :P

[victorionix]

can u tell me where u got the tabs of incredible song? btw nice cover! in a while il upload ''porcelina of the vast oceans'' only need to perfect it! :P

[toringbearer]

I got them from the official MCIS tab book :)

[jasonjinx]

yup same here i have the SD tab book as well.

If only they had an offical tab book for every album.

[paintbrush73]

beautiful job! could you please tell me the chords names you used? THanks! This is my favorite pumpkins song.

[Darioauli]

In the verses are Amaj7 and E, and in the chourus and bridge are power chords, just see the notes she play.

[AlternativePumpkins]

Yes!! I love this! :D

You are very talented at playing the guitar/singing!

Nice job!

[xzavyer6754]

Very nice playing and incredible voice

[ScarTissuetwo]

very awesome

[jasonjinx]

you have the voice of an angel

[wickluda]

Busyfingers should be your new handle!!

[roban201]

beautiful

[VetnaAndrew]

haha i love it.

Especially the bend and laugh at the end of the solo.

Seriously though, excellent, entertaining cover

[wickluba]

WOW!! SOUNDS and looks difficult!! Congrats on the preciseness of the cover. Can I ask what make & model of guitar you're using? Thanks in advance.

[TheImplodingVoice61]

Brilliant. Taking a beautiful electric song that rocks out with dreamy distortion, and turning it into a song that rocks in it's own subtler way.

I love the snicker at the end of the solo by the way. :)

[trojancross06]

call me crazy, but I think that this is your best cover... it's between this one and mayonaise. simply fantastic.

[toringbearer]

Well thanks! Here is no Why is definitely one of my favorite songs to play :)

[osullivan85]

never seen anyone mute like that with their pinky.. will have to pick that up.

[toringbearer]

yeah, it's kinda weird, hahaha. I actually don't anymore. I only did it because I got lazy and didn't want to move my fingers away from the chord. It sounds fine with acoustic, but if I mute with my pinky on my electric I have to do it just right or it doesn't exactly mute it. So you're probably better off just muting like a normal person XD

[jianlian]

LOL @ solo... very good job though.. great singing too

[mattmanoman]

yeah, that was well smart, nice one.......

[andres901015]

hi!! your voice is very nice really really like it. im from colombia i wish you will be a great star. good luck

where are you from?

[RyEdwardsMusic]

You realize, of course, that this song was never meant to be on acoustic. Amazing bends! good work. I write songs, but I don't know if I could play that--esp. on acoustic. Thanks for posting.

Ry E)

[Jigglemonkey00]

i thought you did really good on the solo accually it was right on

[tidalboy77]

hi! you are way too humble...your description about this video really cracked me up-- this is a great cover...you're amazing at the guitar...your voice is very bright and clean and really does your guitar playing justice! but i think you need some heartache to overdrive that voice of yours (a joke)...

[toringbearer]

hahaha, well thank you :)

[lefty5496]

and no.....You defeated the solo.....I remember learning that way back in the day.....not exactly easy to play on an acoustic.....nice accomplishment!

[lefty5496]

and your a star.....

[msevrens]

if you had been billy corgan the smashing pumpkins would still be successful right now

[toringbearer]

I appreciate the compliment, but there's a big difference between being able to play a great song and being able to write a great song :P (and I adore Zeitgeist, whether it was a commercial success or not)

[monk0383]

Billy may never top the sales on MCIS, and may never play the raw rock of Gish again, but any pumpkins fan will agree that Zeitgeist will grow on you, just like every pumpkin album before. If you don't like every album your not a ture fan.

Jessica=Great replacement for d'arcy, not billy(even though girly signing is better from a girl)

I do miss D'arcy+James

[sadmachinesean]

great song

[ArvidFalk86]

woah. this was a difficult one but you do it very well. compliments.

[luciomasappa77]

great voice! good work, nice cover...

[alexcoreee]

amazing job! the solo was not bad at all except for when you tried to go too low on the fretboard, other than that, awesome!

[alexmANS0N]

ur voice is totally adorable o.o

[PepoPeretz]

so beautiful, I love that song! ..and I love your voice too! ^^

[Cobainthedog]

You just played an all time top 5 Smash tune and Oh My Jeebus ~ That was fricken Wick! I also had a LOL moment when you gave yourself a Pfft at the end of your solo. Top Self My Friend... Top Self.

[toringbearer]

lolllllll, I thought I could do it, but no. That solo defeated me. hahahaa :) And thank you!

[MAXKORN1]

Your voice gave me chills (the good kind) when you started to sing. Plus, I like the way you handled the solo, it had a real, "psh, screw this" vibe. Well done; suck on that Amy Lee!

[toringbearer]

hahahaahahahahahaaaa amy lee... ugh.

[tosaytheleast]

This is definitely one of my favorite SP songs. And your cover is fantasticlicious. You're awesome.

[Kucingmatt]

I dont think you failed at all :) that was good. I love playing that song too.. I think it might be my favourite pumpkins song to play.. that an rocket

[Lorthana]

Amazing!!!! If I may make a request, can you do Blank Page (my favorite) or some of the Hole and Pearl Jam songs?

[kaisayshi]

WHat a great version Why did you get rid of all your old videos?

[danzai]

awesome, loved it.

[hoacky]

Ooops! No more frets. LOL.  I love to play this song - especially the solo.

[toringbearer]

hahaha, my thoughts exactly!!

[Teckid1991]

amazing

great voice too ;)

[rydidog]

Yaaaaay you're back! This was always one of my favorite covers of yours! Nice job on the solo. Can you do Galapogos again? please :) I love that one!

[toringbearer]

I'll add it to my list ;)

[staindlibra]

Is this the girl that had a video of this cover before, but didn't do the solo part before? I noticed the video is down. Glad you did the solo.  Its awesome :)

[toringbearer]

yep, I'm that girl! :)

[Elite91]

YOU ROCK!

[toringbearer]

:) thanks!

[toringbearer]

thank ya! the solo is easy on electric, haha. I should have just gone up to a higher string for the part where I'm waaaaaaaay up the neck. But it's more fun to screw it up, I guess. hahaha

[prelude3point0]

That was sweet, i really liked that ;o)

[Spiralminds]

Well is not perfect of course, that music is not easy but I give you 5 stars... And I love your voice too.

Plz do Mayonese cover!!!

[toringbearer]

Mayo is coming ;)

[brix04]

Hey Jessica that was a kick ass cover, so much infact it made me do one of my own.lol. and yes I tried the solo on acoutic, made my own really, and failed horribly, but your voice makes up for the solo and the fingerprints, excellant job, thank you.

[ciscoisdef]

i love your voice

[streetkid0]

good to see, requesting mayonaise, stand inside your love, and thirty three again, maybe 1979 and disarm also, i enjoyed those covers of yours

[toringbearer]

alrighty, I'll see what I can do! I have a few in mind that I hadn't done before, but I'm not too busy ;) I'll write these down and probably get around to them soon.

[crapomatic]

I know what you mean by the solo... and you dont even have a cut out on that acoustic... but still... great job as always! Don't know how you play it and sing it (both great)... plz keep posting... always a inspiration... -brynnezo

[toringbearer]

hehehe, I'm better at the solo on electric (of course), but I just decided to make a bit of a fool of myself by giving it a go on acoustic. You never know until you try! hehehe, thank you =)

[planet79telex]

that was great, love this song, hopefully you managed to get some pumpkins tix for the fall tour..

[toringbearer]

I absolutley did!! Second row, no less!! I totally lucked out... hit refresh at the right moment, I guess =)

[sceamon]

nice work

sounds like you're getting a lot better

[ushitmetotears]

hey glad your back but what happened?!?! i missed watching your covers...

[avid1029]

I missed your vids, you had a cover of this song up before and I loved it now it's back and better :D Very nice, and please don't disappear this time!

[Slipknot808]

Impressive.

[toringbearer]

lololololol, thanks. =D

[blm8prod]

always great :> this is one of my favs
