Yours is the closest cover so far, well done. You're playing it a semi -tone lower than the original, which was in 'B'. I play it in 'G' with a capo at the 4th fret to get the key. The chords sound right, except for the coda, where I think they are diminished chords instead of the minors you are playing.
all good comments, congrats, which means you need some criticism. you've got a good voice, which usually is tied to a good ear, so how is it you failed to realize your guitar was out of tune before you recorded, edited and posted on the web? strange. oh, and is this slightly slowed, the film?
i really love this song, and you made it just as good (if not possibly better, seeing as how the original didn't have acoustic guitar) as the original. You made it really raw, and it basically just rocked my socks lol :]
Okay, dude. I have to say this song is tied for my favorite song with "Turn To Stone" by ELO. Every version of this song sucks on youtube..but you did it! I love the fact that you actually play the second to last note in the song. Most people that cover it do not. Thank you, sir. Great job.
I am a huge Zombies/Argent fan, you my good sir have pulled off an amazing rendition of this classic song. I haven't listened to your other songs yet, I hope there are more auditory treats. Do you take requests?
Ahh, I've been watching your videos, and you have wonderful talent my friend. This song and the zombies are especially amazing. Hooray for good musical taste.
Do you have the chords for this, Evan? I'm trying to learn it from the video, as I'm sure you're aware, it's very good. I can't make out a few of the chords though as I'm not too great on guitar. Not asking for a tab or anything, if you could just list the chords maybe? That would be really nice if you could. Thanks for the song, regardless! Didn't know about it beforehand.
to be honest, i based some of the chords off of a tab and then changed the ones that didn't sound right. i can't find the tab, but i'm sure if you search for it you'll be able to find it. anyway, there's only one weird chord which is the second chord (check out :14) - take a look at the shape... i learn these songs very quickly and forget them just as quickly - my apologies if i'm not much help, my friend!
No worries, it did help! I searched, I found the tab I think you were talking about. I'll look at your video more. Once again, lovely job, thanks for taking the time to reply too.
gah! i love this song, and your cover is fantastic. good work with recording it at 5am =P stay up late or got up early? either way, your voice and singing is great.
This is really great.
