Third Eye Blind - Motorcycle Drive By (acoustic cover)

[Crash171]

constructive criticism time...

Voice... Open your throat to sing for ALL of the notes and draw power from your belly and chest. That will clean up your tone and get rid of the pitchy-ness

Guitar-

I cant really tell but it looks like you are guilty of breaking on of the fundamentals of playing. Hold you pick with two fingers with the pick almost at 45° to the strings. Also use your wrist to strum more then your arm.

I can go on, but its a good start. Take lessons. Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGreatUploader1]

Ohmygod, you butchered my favorite song. How about some singing lessons dude?

[ZachLaraMusic]

i dont believe that, i think someone that doesnt play music can still make an opinion, i cant play this song so good job on that and you do have a bad camera you should make a better version when you have time

[dtstrick]

I can tell you got a good voice, the tinny ring from that camera all but destroys it. This would be great with a better mic & some back-up musicians. Good effort & look, ya got over 18 thousand views... not bad!

[xp14y639]

1. try turning the cameras volume up(the cam seems off balance) 2. 1:15 the notes were just a little lower 3. sing into the cam and listen to the playback so you can perfect any vocal parts that might mess you up 4. in parts where you practically yell i like to make my voice only a little louder but deeper because it usually picks up better 5. dont get mad at so many tips please 6. 3:30ish try using more breath than you need to sing it to get that clean voice for that area

[hexums]

I like it

[outrocker954]

Pretty good man. Your one of the only people who did a cover and new how the song actually went.

[sarieldefect1]

i rarely say anything bad but. . . . damn this was fkn funny.

[SourC930]

Don't be threatened, I was just messing around with a cheap camera a couple years ago. Post your 3EB - MDB video played and sung by the same person and don't tell me it won't be 'fkn funny.' Or is that impossible for the ambiguously gay duo?

[sarieldefect1]

lmao i cant believe your blaming it on the camera!!! ok ok ok its just 1:30-4:28 that makes me laugh. the rest was ok i guess. dont be so butt hurt guy haha its just an opinion. . . but yeah damn these cheap cameras that dont auto tune!!!

[SourC930]

When people give non-constructive criticism and don't put any music up I have no respect for them and don't respond. When you gave non-constructive criticism I didn't care until I saw the crap you put up - then I just didn't understand.

[sarieldefect1]

yeah ,my videos suck. i can admit it ha here's some advice. learn to laugh at yourself. its healthy. i mean seriously, you dont laugh when you go back and listen to it????

[Swingfinger]

this is actually pretty good, some of the higher notes are kind of pitchy but I like your voice

[utoobluke]

not good. obviously mediocre at best..

[thall0017]

works for me.  good job.

[FueledbyRaymond]

Wow, I'm sorry dude. But stop singing, and stop playing guitar. You basically ruined this whole sing with you terrible playing and terrible voice which is flat half the time. I agree with everyone any anyone on this page who says you suck. Especially mattdeltufo.

[kfoges003]

notbuyingphilosophy.. have you ever even seen 3eb live.. jenkins is insane live.. he is an unbelieveable singer who makes this guy look like a clown (no offense though.. not a bad job in this).. but jenkins did nelly-ride with me when i saw him and he somehow pulled it off

[mattdeltufo]

YOU SUCK!!! Thanks for ruining the most influential song of our generation you DICK!!!

[amontmexicano]

good work on the lyrics

[notbuyingphilosophy]

I think you perform this song better than Stephan Jenkins himself...That guy just does not sound like that cd at all when he plays live.

[SourC930]

I wouldn't say that, but you are too kind. Thanks for the comments.

[shouanriahi]

ummmmmm

first off:

good job dude

not buying philosophy:

don't compare him to jenkins ... just don't

[supergolfer257]

actually jenkins performs outstanding live, i saw them last night and they played everything phenomenally

[notbuyingphilosophy]

Great. Everyone has their own opinion.

[seabass590]

whaaaaaat haha

[srainbolt5337]

Good effort. Don't try so hard on the volume of your voice. Just feel the lyrics, it will come. One of my favorite songs... I can admire ambition and you've got it.

[federer1321]

also- you ever notice how much 'burning' there is in all 3eye blind songs? they love that word

[travesham]

maybe the idea of 'burning' is something that influences their music =P

[federer1321]

great song choice, definately their best - good effort

[tcelferreflect]

you screwed up at 1sec - 4:28 but otherwise nice entry and exit

[Danklin24]

not bad but you fucked it up at 1:56 with the completely wrong lyrics.

[SourC930]

I suck at Lyrics.

[31MillerTime31]

put this crap back in your ass

[SourC930]

Post your version of you doing guitar and vocals (no edits) and if people say it's better I'll take this off YouTube.

[julianhughes]

yeah this song is a classic by third eye. Radio stations are stupid for ignoring it

[MBilliaert]

LOL YOU SUCK

[tefonater]

lol, no...you suck MBilliaert. you obvioulsy dont get out much, he did a good job

[travelsatnight]

I LOVE this song... and it's so hard to play... I wish I could do it as well as you!!

[LeftYouParanoid]

awesome!

[hangfirers]

will you cover slow motion too? man youre good...

[videofanscr]

HEY... well done... I agree with, about 3eb best song... Keep rocking men

[jamazing14]

nice job man, a little sketchy plucking, but it was awesome. keep it up!

[theflamealchemist2]

EPIPPHONE WILL RISE

-lol i got epipphone too - other than that you rock

[outxfromxunder]

pretty good, you screwed up some words, but it was better than most could have done.

nice job!

[blueJay4444]

That was incredible.

I don't know anybody who can play like that.

btw, nice job, that was my favorite song from 3eb.

[erichon99]

nice job man! any more 3eb covers planned? Maybe jumper, HIGB, I want you? Those are pretty easy to play and sing along to
