hard sun acoustic cover eddie vedder indio

[milky81]

Good stuff!



[DRMTHTR2112]

the freggin rhythm of this song is tricky.. im trying to master it as I speak... ug! good job..

[coner64]

sorry Im going to go against the grain here. your voice is great, but your strumming is a little off and guitar sounds a little out of tune. But to be lacking any harmony vocals to back you up, good job overall.

[albaabur]

best cover yet...only wish the mic wz betta

[4kritter]

nice dude, very nice

[44caliber6232]

very nice mate, well done. really enjoyed listening to it

[quigley257]

[amibidhrohi2006]

Very different from Eddie's original..And yet very good. Just as good as the original I'd say. Thanks for the performance!

[GTichris70]

not eddie vedders song,does anybody know who it was ?

[muffinmane]

Gordon Peterson/Indio

[conway2223]

Gordon Peterson

[conway2223]

Eddie's is NOT the original. The Original can be found right here on youtube. Eddie Vedder did not stray away from the original score..only added his touch, so to speak.

[HotFuzz11111]

U STINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flaminoose]

hey i liked it. a lot. every musician has their own style, and i like yours.

[guir43]

more soul and don't make it sound like times like these.

[KleWdSide]

Snooze

[aNiZeR]

So far my favorite cover of this song on youtube... very good!! I wouldn't mind putting it on my iPod.. :)

[970550182]

Nice work, guy. Thanks for the chords.

Cheers.

[perryjw]

you're welcome, thanks.

[jimwoodfin]

dude great cover, goose bumps im glad i watched ur video

[perryjw]

thank you very much! Glad you stopped by

[ekatime]

you have the intro chords all wrong. also some of the chorus chords maybe too. i'd be happy to show you how to do it if you want.

[ekatime]

I apologize. I never heard the Indio version before. The guitar sounds just like it. I like the eddie vedder guitar better, more interesting.  I can show you how to play that guitar if you want.

[perryjw]

i saw our video, great job! haha ill have to practice with it, when im done with the metallica one ;P

[pondscumj]

Yeah man, nice job--from Coudersport, Pa

[perryjw]

thank you!

[jimwoodfin]

if eddie vedder heard this he would be proud

[avenueq14]

this song is originally by indio, it was covered my eddie vedder for the movie "into the wild" great movie, i recommend it, even better song

[qxTINKAxp]

fell in love with your voice ;) great job...

[perryjw]

thank you very much ;D

[Crazymary05]

Ciao I'm from Italy, good work, very nice!

EliVedder

[perryjw]

thank you

[nagchumpalot]

acctually EDDIE covered this song, its by INDIO (Gorden Peterson) from the album Big Harvest.. great song..

Save the Planet fools!

[FairyzZz7]

wow great great job..you're very very good and your voice is beautiful!

[perryjw]

thanks!

[efbanach]

very nice

[chunkychop69]

dude, you did good:) i've been a musician since i fell out of my mom and it takes balls and FEEL. keep on rockin"

[perryjw]

thanks a lot!

[trd319]

People that post negative responses have no idea what it takes to produce an entire song that is melodic, in time and well tuned. Nice work dude. People like Vedder are gifted humans that the rest of us strive to emulate, but we will never become. Like I said, nice work.

[perryjw]

thanks trevor

[Mavoss]

Well I thought you did great... I like when someone takes a good song and makes it their own. This is a hard song to sing for most vocalists. Nice work!

Don't let these clowns tell you you are doing bad! I'd like to hear their version!! HA!

[perryjw]

thanks mike. like you myspace tunes, ill have to checkout your vids later.

[kodiharding]

i thought it wasnt bad, atleast you can play it and sing it...i think the only reason you got negative feed back was because of the song you picked, it's legendary and inspired...hard to recreate without people being dumb fucks

[perryjw]

thanks

[668615]

is not good feel, time of the beat! the accent should be on the 4th time

[perryjw]

okay

[jabybebus]

ps i dont know what song your "playing" but it isnt big hard sun.

[perryjw]

ok cool

[sunnyvale123]

This sounds great. Its called a cover jabybebus. Its his version of the song. What the hell can you do?

Great job man. Nice cover.

[jabybebus]

dude what are you doing, going for the "thanks record" on youtube comment.

[perryjw]

i appreciate anyone willing to spend their time here watching my video.

[LouDawgy]

it's a great song but, sing it right. and with the right melody and timing. it sounds good though. can't wait to see the movie is it good?

[perryjw]

alright, thanks for watching

[rustynod]

nice vioce ,good sound.

[perryjw]

thank you!

[Clocked222]

nice job brother... like the changes you made to the vocal rhythms and tone. keep it comin...

[perryjw]

thanks a lot! ;D

[cglodzik]

This is such an incredible song - I love Eddie Vedder's cover but have yet to hear the Indio original. I just have to say WOW - perryjw, you've done just about the impossible...your cover is pretty much up there with the best of them. Great voice and playing. I really hope that you also write and sing your own songs- you certainly have the soul and talent. (Plus you're really cute!)

[perryjw]

thank you!

[crazypunk2F]

You did a kick ass job man. Great vocals.

[perryjw]

thanks!

[horrorfreak56]

nice !

[perryjw]

thank you ;D

[Sunolmal]

nice!! good vocals and thank you for the chords ;D

[perryjw]

thanks! you're welcome ;D

[JenniferNRN]

Nice work dude. Good playing and vocals.

[perryjw]

thank you

[nocapper]

Great job.

Quick question, you using a capo at all or did you fiddle with the guitar tuning or neither?

Sounds like standard tuning to me.

[perryjw]

thats right. its standard tuning. thanks

[GracoBlog]

Eddie's recording is those chords with a Capo on the first fret. Nice job, sounds good.

[loudsquid]

Very nice. Your voice is perfect for folk singing.

[perryjw]

thanks loudsquid

[sparshparimoo]

nice strumming pattern sir.

[perryjw]

thanks

[whitedevil2]

good job, good vocals. but i like the strumming better on the original. it didn't seem to flow as well in your cover

[asromab3]

Nobody should ever try to cover an Eddie Vedder song...it is sacrilege.

[perryjw]

hes got a great voice, but i wouldnt go that far. ;P

[2quik2c]

Umm sorry not a Vedder song Indio wrote and sang it about 18 years before Vedder took credit for it.... Gordon Peterson/Indio

[asromab3]

You know what I meant.

[countramblings]

Well done

Thank you for your service as well.

[perryjw]

thanks very much for your support ;D

[rodmanlama]

nice cover, and thank you for protecting us.

[perryjw]

right on thanks rodmanlama

[seashine0]

BTW...thanks for your military service!

[seashine0]

I dig it. :)

[perryjw]

thanks seashine ;D

[machngunjoe]

i like that you changed it up a little,

but you should give it another try

[perryjw]

yeah ok, ill try it again

[Rozbroj]

nie!!!!

[perryjw]

thank you! ;D

[Acclvr]

Great song. Amazing cover.

[perryjw]

thanks!

[easydp]

top marks, very nicely done. mine version comes out too harsh i think- im torn between being too quiet and shite and to forceful and shite. not sure which i prefer. well played mate.

[perryjw]

thanks! yours isnt shite, quite good actually. thanks for watching lD

[aXegat]

Well Done (",)

[perryjw]

thank you!!

[cowmantwo]

I am learning to play this song.....When i think i am playing it wrong, i keep coming back to this post. BEST I HAVE SEEN! THANKS MAN...

[perryjw]

glad i could help you out cowman!!

[valkarie1986]

We.l.l your video is the best out of all the Hard sun videos

[perryjw]

thanks a lot val!

[mybrokenclock]

don't post videos on the internet available to the public if you can not take the negotive remarks especially if you are a musician. Do you want to only read comments saying you are great? Mate, slow it down and sing with your own voice. Be yourself.

[perryjw]

I can, did, and said thanks.. remember? This time ur a litle more helpful though ;D

[mybrokenclock]

first mistake)the song should not have eddie vedder credited to it...it is not in anyway his song. second mistake) why rush such a beautiful song? third mistake) why sing like you hav ea broken beer bottle shoved up your arse? it sounds fake and sad. I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORT BUT THIS IS SHITE MATE

[perryjw]

thanks for watching ;D

[DickDallyThe3rd]

First mistake) if you dont like it...why watch and/or bother commenting on it, both eddie and this guy did a great job...instead of saying its "shite" you could just go to the next video that you think would be to your liking

Second Mistake) people dont like it when other people are douchebags...and this guy even said thanks

[perryjw]

thanks for the backup. i got the acoustic version of 'i am mine' in my favs also. great song!

[Triggin1]

not bad, i love playing this song! it is soooo easy!

[perryjw]

haha me too. i love this song and was suprised it was so easy. ;D

[nmfirepilot]

Great job.  Would you consider making an instructional youtube video for those of us who are really still new? The song doesnt look like it would be that hard to learn with practice.

[perryjw]

sure, not a problem

[nmfirepilot]

Thanks I appreciate it . Also appreciate your service to the Corps. One of my friends is XO down at Barstow.

[martinmartin55]

you're great man, keep on rockin!!!

[perryjw]

thanks

[ISLANDJEAN]

We want to see the strum pattern. your demo is good to listen to but what you show is not helpful for strumming? Showing of hands would be better.

[perryjw]

the strum pattern is D D U U D U

[julialachica]

wow c'est excellent!

[perryjw]

thank you very much!

[clattybrown]

fantastic

[perryjw]

thank you very much \!!

[cayceeface]

I have grown up with music and your voice resonated withien me...nice,..you rock out,..

[perryjw]

wow, thank you!

[alchaze]

tres bon

[perryjw]

merci!

[dwiback]

Can you give me the strum pattern? I think I'm close. DUDDUUD, etc.

[perryjw]

im using DUDDUU

[perryjw]

sorry actually its dduudu

[koyanastazi]

Nice job my man.

[perryjw]

thank you!

[facepollution]

Good job man, ignore the person that said you can't sing, you sound great. Nothing wrong with putting your own spin on it.

[perryjw]

thanks!

[switchlock17]

Theirs nothing wrong with the singing but your timing is horific man. Sorry buy a metronome. and get the right chords.

[perryjw]

the chords are food but im a cheap ass to buy a metronome, i just wing it ;P

[freedomfighterfrank]

hey man good job you play very good.i wanna know what the cadd9 is?

good luck

Nice job.

[perryjw]

thank you dr :D

[Jesterhead87]

well i cant agree to spileggi at all..i think you can sing very well! Especially in the higher tones..like the kinda "almost raspy" voice..guitar was nice to..all in all a pleasure to hear :)

[perryjw]

thank you very much.

[spileggi]

first of all its not eddies song hes just covering it and second u cant sing

[perryjw]

I know its not eddies, I put him in the tags cause he made it popular again. No one is looking foe theoriginal. Thanks tho, can't wait to hear yours...

[trceb]

man amazing sounds perfect

i like what you did to it.

lol im learning to play it on the guitar right now.

[perryjw]

thanks!!

[spoonieluv123]

I hate the way you took this song. You got the style all wrong. Its like your trying to turn it to a country song.

[perryjw]

ok, cool.

[spoonieluv123]

don't get my wrong though. You have talent man. Just don't think the way you took the song is the best way to take it. But seriously, you have talent for sure. keep it up

[monkeyboy973]

nice job, next time do one focusing on your chording.

[perryjw]

i give the chords in the info.. just click more on the right side of the video :D it's not that hard

[tenover]

Very cool take on it.  I've been working on this one myself, but I SUCK....

[perryjw]

thanks, i head this song off eddie vedder's new album and lovin it

[2ifbyCsharp]

Being the first viewer, I'm gonna check out the original.

Just off hand, either put the cam on your left hand or your face. Nothin' personal, I'd prefer the left hand. 8-)

I'll star rate later.

[perryjw]

i'll prolly just zoom out a bit to get both :D
