great song, a classic. proves my point that justien bieber is not the only great song writer in the business. oh wow these guys are not 15 years old, i thought all the real talent was, once again the old guys rock.
OK, I am trying to learn this song on acoustic guitar. I believe it should be played in drop D tuning, however, they appear to be playing it in standard, but still in key of D. Anybody know what chord shapes the lead player is hitting during the verse and chorus?
@Dolphster5000 Played this with my band at our last concert. No tabs for it so I tabbed it out myself; solo was a real pain to tab. Sounds right though when played with the other guitar part. Tuning is DbAbDbGbBbEb/C#G#C#F#A#D#. X is just a place marker for a string that isn't played and x is a mute.
I've been humming and singing this all day...this is the BEST version of the song by car...a timeless classic. The 4 people who disliked this were all Justin Beiber fans!
Watching Collective SOul live videos never gets old! Ed and the boys always bring so much soul and energy and they hit EVERY note! Simply incredible muscicians! I am proud to say my first concert was a Collective Soul show!
Love that he killed that solo on acoustic instead of writing something easier for acoustic. That's awesome. Makes me love Collective Soul that much more.
If you thought this was bad: As much as I love Rush, you should watch Alex Lifeson's face when he plays guitar! You would think that the higher the note, the more painful it is for him to play, based on his face.
hahaha XD probably the most embarrassing faces i've ever seen, every time he sings "wo oh oh" im pretty sure he could sing that part fine without doing that
Love the Georgia musicians! hard to believe they released this on their first cd in 1991, and hearing it acoustically... this song could come out today, 20 years later and be a hit. That's real music that transcends time.
I got tickets to see them in Indianapolis this Sept at an outdoor event at Military Park(cannot wait to see them). That vid just shows what a couple of "Good Musicians" and a just a couple of guitars can do.That was an excellent unplugged piece. Since Ross Childress (lead guitar and vocals) not paying with them is a major loss though.
every time i watch one of their song played acousticly, he still rocks the solo and i love it. most bands wont play the guitar solo if its an acoustic cover but he still shreads the fuck out of it
these guys have always been my inspiration! i was feeling discouraged wit singing and now i wanna get back into singing not just guitar!!!! :D thanx guys!! USE ROK!!!
@SpinDoctor91 agreed i wish more people knew that. i used to hate rap in its entirety until i discovered the joy of underground rap and hip hop and now it's my favorite genre. rhymesayers entertainment is the shit
yes i totally agree,when people say all rap is bad there just not educated enough to know there's good rap out there.alot of people just see the rap that is mainstream and judge rap soley based on that,and that's not true.there is some good rap out there,underground rap,and artist like Common,Talib Kweli,Jadakiss,and even Jay-Z are still good and meaningful rappers.people should listen to the good stuff before judging rap as a whole based on the mainstream stuff.
even i'v seen the acoustic version on vh1....it was awesome....and the best lead on acoustic....had recorded it on my media center but got deletd....have been searching dat video for months now..
There's this acoustic version they show sometimes on VH1, I think it's at an MTV studio or something, and they look pretty young there, with long hair and all. But I can't find that version on youtube. Anyone knows which one I'm talking about? Or where I can find it? Please Help. I'm losing sleep over this!!
Just one of those songs that can be done in accustic and sound as good as in a recording booth. If you really listen this song has more meaning than the obvious.
love this song and love this acoustical version,..However,....Does anyone else keep expecting a "whoooup" after certain rhythm guitar parts of the song?
i did this for the talent show and got first place omfg i was so happy out of like 100 which was big for me but nuthing will compared to this its perfect
3:06....amazing
