swing life away - rise against cover

[sweetpee1231]

please do tutorial!!

[ZooYorkerrrrr]

good cover! i have the exact same earphones o_0

[CakeyCalenture]

prolly the best the best cover of this song.

[AdamDoc1995]

well.. that sucked LOL

trust me mate that didn't suck :)

it may not be the best cover of this song.. but its still my favorite :)

nice work again :)

[SidocasOfficial]

check out my version :) its your average joe but yah :)

[JamesHackSk8s]

Yamaha CPX?;)

[guitarplayer200]

@JamesHackSk8s takamine g series somethin or other haha

[JamesHackSk8s]

@guitarplayer200 Ohhh. Takimines are nicee:) Looked like a CPX to me:$ Love your voice BtW:)

[allstheworldsastage]

The strumming is down up down up and yeah its originally played down a half step in e flat so thats probably why it sounds like hes playing it down half a step i liked it

[eatcarrotsticks]

this is awesome!

[WorthyDyingFor]

Waw, great! but how do you do the strumming? I can play this song for a long time, but I can't find the strumming anywhere!

[jakeaboo40]

everyone should check out my cover of this song and give me feedback on what i need to improve (:

[mik3p0wer]

i think you messed up the beggining but who am i to judge, you are good and i suck

[GitsKyle]

Sadface I want to learn how to play this song :(((((

I also wish I could sing haha

Goodjob for sure though.

[OctoberReflection]

Thats a good one. I did this too. Amazing song!

[ILOVEESSHOES]

i think the intro is not the best, but all in all a very good cover ;)

[MyZeRoFiRe]

bad intro !!!!!!!!

[TheBoringBlogs]

Your intro is a little off, and I think you might be playing the chords as if your guitar is tuned a half step down, but all in all it did sound pretty good, and your voice was soft and complimented the acoustic well :)

[gluke35]

This is the best I've seen so far! :D

[guitarplayer200]

@gluke35 haha well. i know i can do way better now

[IWearVersace]

amazing bro

[TheKoolTom]

Sounds good... Well done!

[fischboss11]

My favorite cover respect ^.^

[iQuent]

[armand0]

[Connections17]

You didnt need the last cord in the beginning.

[stecylovestommy]

[NedRockMusic]

[Lyreux]

Awesome*-*

[meep445]

you've got a pretty good voice, the guitar was okay.

[snickerzkk]

can you do a tutorial?

[seveneggssayhi]

What brand of guitar is it, i like the cut away how is it in a amp??

[Chrisp6825]

nice guitar yo ;)

got one just like it. Takamine g series?

[masenm1219]

I think you're tuned to E standard, and it needs to be down a halfstep to Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb

Other than that, great cover. Great voice.

[TrafoSkateboarding]

too fast.

[punkomaniiak50]

so fucking good nice man !!!

[pacer91345]

pretty good!!

[guitarplayer200]

@pacer91345 thanks :) im alot better now though lol

[pacer91345]

@guitarplayer200 lol that's cool. =]

[baboobs154]

"ill show u mine, if u show me urs first" Lol i would love it if a girl sais that to me ... :P wouldnt u?

[SpaceCatazify]

u got nice voice mate

[StrawberryScene]

You did such a good job. :)

[crazyasian785]

can u give me some tips on how u strum? i cant seem to get it.

[CCCWWWBBB333]

D D U U

2nd down stroke is palm muted

[AteneaSmall]

no it didnt suck! it actually sounds veeeery nice.

:) have u got the tab?

[xXxsilentheartbeatsx]

The guitar is really good. I don't know enough about guitar to tell you anything more than that. But you should get a bit of vocal training in (that's a comliment not a diss) because even the best singers have had vocal training. You have great potential.

[guitarplayer200]

thanks for the compliment :) im actually alot better at singing now just from so much practice but i intend to take vocal lessons as soon as i can.

[bluespicker16]

your guitar is tiny! lol but nice job.

[guitarplayer200]

yeah it is very tiny lol. but i got a new one.. well sort of new. i bought it broken for 45$ and fixed it so its like new anyways lol

[bluespicker16]

haha thats the way to go

[guitarplayer200]

vids with the new guitar up now.. sounds so much better lol

[RAWRAWRWAR]

this song would be great with a electric guitar

[guitarplayer200]

honestly its not so good with one

[RAWRAWRWAR]

but not hardcore

[MrAwsomeify]

nice

[mo3o4]

lol first time i've ever seen anyone else with the same acoustic guitar i have.. Takamine right?

[guitarplayer200]

hahah yep its the half sized one.. you should see it now.. duct tape and all lol

[SaboraMaira92]

for the intro; leave out the last picking tune, there are only 6 tunes, you're playing 7... and for the strumming; try down pause up down up down pause up down up and start with the picking again

[ContMayVary]

Wrong Notes in the intro but it flows and sounds amazing and really... it makes it an original cover which most people cannot do anyways

[hannahbobanaful]

dont listen to these people, ur awesome player

[theoffspring19]

gutair isnt tuned properly. not a good voice. your a talented gutairest though

[magma9495]

not bad signing, nice job playing

[guitarplayer200]

thanks.. yeah it was quite a while ago when i recorded this.. im much better now lol

[NiCo4lif3]

you suck

[radioactivesaw]

cool

[15vcvince15]

ya, it sounds good but it's not the write way to play it... or sing it!!!

[Abiondo83]

Its amazing, i dont have the coordination to sing and play at the same time, but during the verses, you get a "rawer" better sound by playing the root and the fifth of the barre chords, and makes it sound a little bit better.

[AmyStevens89]

drop the smoking, youll sound much better.

[hannahroxoutloud]

wow that's really sickk. but like if your voice get's scratchy or something, there's these things they're like coughdrops but not. it's called "viatimin c with zinc" they work SOOO GOOD

[Deceptionz99]

damn good job

[Conkerzz]

Wow your really good Good job !

[musterdfx]

[haze1310]

[muskiskoka]

your singing is mad pitchy.

[utubesoundsdirtyy]

is this song hard to learn, btw? i want to learn how to play it.

[DarkKrelis]

nah its actually not that hard

the strumming is actually the only rly rly rly small difficult part

[tb040393]

Like on the verses, the annoying palm muting >.>

[DarkKrelis]

Oh yea tell me about it

[TheJackass14]

[NuAmBaniDeBere]

[WTSskillz]

[guitarplayer200]

yes thats exactly it. its so beyond any of my skills. that just why im currently learning to play drifting by andy mckee. cause u know thats such and easy song..this is just the way i learned it cause the real way of playing it was boring.

[guitarplayer200]

i did this cover so long ago.. im so much better at this song now.. but thanks lol

[sarahsummers91]

well no problem!

[GreatTheApe2]

Easily the best cover on YouTube. Great voice, and the only cover which uses the muted strum for the chorus, which is the right way to do it! Well done, its fantastic.

[guitarplayer200]

hehe.. thank you.

[guitarplayer200]

[guitarface0]

this is a good version. i like it. i just havent found anybody who plays the first guitar part. everybody plays the second guitar part! but good job.

[xFreakshowDreams]

I think this is great. Awesome guitar playing, best voice I've heard so far. :] great job.

[Jugbug992]

lol i know!!! this song can be murder for the nasal-y, key-changing peoples... lol but i'm totally one of them...

[trawickipyro]

great cover you've got a nice voice

Just wondering, are you recording your voice through the mic around your neck? if so your voice is way too good for that piece of shit mic get something professional...your good.

[guitarplayer200]

yea it is that mic

[guitarplayer200]

what kind of mic would u suggest?

[guitarplayer200]

yea its so halfassed cause i didnt do one part that just makes the rest of it crap..fuck u man.. i made this so long ago when i first learnd the song the tab i did have back then had the solo but it was so shitty i just skipped it.. so i made a video and people like it.. so go fuck yourself.. how bout trying some constructive critisism instead of saying i did a half asses job..
