Pumped Up Kicks (guitar fingerpicking style)

[ToomSammy22]

this is sick! its pretty sweet how you can sing and keep the finger picking so on tempo. i recently started making videos and my only one is of a cover of this song. if you wanna check it out id really appreciate it!

[miroslavsafin]

teach me how to sing like you

[xXxShugaxXx]

Wicked job on this song! You made it your own and I love that! But reading another comment it would be neat to have a mix of strumming and finger picking :) I gave yah a thumbs up!!!!!

[justinober1]

Nice job very clean you rocked it

[879371]

this sounds delicious

[brittanyvictorino]

umm... who hit the dislike bar.. ? it must have been a mistake....

[fizlard6997]

@brittanyvictorino sorry it was

[Predator2169]

how old r u?

[mybellarana]

@Predator2169 I'm somewhere between Taylor Swift and Betty White...haha

[CoreyNachDIR]

loved it... would be kind of cool if you did finger picking through the verse, but switched to a fast strumming pattern during the chorus...

[samtotheg]

the chorus sounded goofy, but the rest was good and different.

[samtotheg]

@samtotheg

and I mean the cover as a whole is different.

[angybabyify]

EXCELLENT guitar playing :) and a lovly voice its so peacfull and calming .

the only thing is i wish u were a tad slower

please upload some more videos because i am offically a FAN !!! x

[rickburnout666]

Brilliant cover, Thanx for sharing

[OxyTintin]

Your version is so pretty. =)

[PatienceKills]

Better than the original! ^.^

[zerepacissej]

can you do a lesson on the fingerpicking?

[mybellarana]

@zerepacissej OK....I posted the "how to" just now! Hope you find it useful

[cabrowm]

marry me!

[cakemanx]

REALLY GOOD! kind of sounds like you were nervous and rushed the song a bit, but you've got some talent girl

[xxKvP521xx]

Heeeeeeey , your pretty good . (:

[discopalace123]

Really nice and smooth!

[Paddlefoot2011]

Cute and talented nice

[4ThelulzBroz]

GEEZUS When I learn how to play guitar this is the first song I want to learn to play, you have a great voice, you play this song very well.

[kilo7x]

lovely

[Cardboardamerica]

You're Hot.

[mapreciado8]

ur pretty good.

[hobbez9186]

That was lovely :)

The only thing that would have made it better is if you slowed it down a tad because it did sound a bit rushed. Beautiful picking though, a very nice cover! Can't wait to see more, keep the videos coming ^_^

[mybellarana]

@hobbez9186 thanks!  I agree....I was rushing a tad, that was probably the 5th or 6th take (b/c I kept forgetting the words, sneezing, messing up the chords, etc) so I was getting kinda tired of playing it over and over, lol.

[hobbez9186]

@mybellarana I know exactly what you mean :)

[obcflife97]

do a duet of this please

[mybellarana]

@obcflife97 I don't think I could do this song any justice with a duet, there are some other really good videos on youtube that use multiple parts. I just posted another video of mine where I tried editing and syncing video with an audio track I already had (it has me doing the harmony parts with myself)

[petdaddy]

Wow. Great change up from the other covers of this song I've seen. Would love to hear you cover some REM. 

[mybellarana]

@petdaddy hmmmm....I like REM, but I dont think I've ever tried to cover any of their stuff. Thanks for the idea

[TheHolidayStore]

Great job!

[mybellarana]

@TheHolidayStore thanks Tommy ;)

[thecircusneverdies]

@mybellarana ...it's hard to explain, but see your right hand in this video? I can see three fingers that are the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger, but what pattern are you using? Thumb down, index up, middle up, thumb down, index up, middle up, etc? Or something else? I hope this makes sense!

[mybellarana]

@thecircusneverdies I tried to "think" about whatever pattern I am picking and I'm afriad I can't actually tell you what it is I'm doing...sorry :/ My thumb kinda alternates between two different bass notes, and then the index and middle fingers are filling in some random pattern in between. Maybe I should do a video with just a close up on my right hand?! :)

[CyrusJV]

@mybellarana oh please do a close up video on your right hand for this song. Love everything about you and wanna play this song like you do.

[mybellarana]

@CyrusJV Thanks for the kind words Cyrus. I promise I will do a "Sharon's Guide to FingerPicking" video as soon! ;)

[thecircusneverdies]

You have a nice voice and good guitar skills! Keep it up; I'd love to see more covers from you.

I have a few questions: What chords did you use? Would you mind posting? I know the strumming patterns and that you use Em, G, D, and A but could you be more specific?

Thanks!

[mybellarana]

@thecircusneverdies...thanks! Yes, I used Em G D and A, over and over and over, lol! Not sure what specifics you were looking for, I just fingerpick some random pattern. I hope to get around to posting something else soon.
