Billy Jean on Acoustic Guitar: Bass+Chords simultaneously (By Boas Dubbelman)

[boasdubbelman]

It's really cool guitar imo =). Good luck with yours and thanks for your comment

[LaurieBuchananMusic]

Wow!

You are the first person I've ever seen, in the 5 years I've had my acoustic, to have the exact same Yamaha Compass Series in the same colour as I do! :D

I love the tone on this acoustic!

And this video is awesome :)

[aven3001]

see my version tribute to jose feliciano and michael jackson

[robcult]

Whatta shit is it!???

[boasdubbelman]

@robcult It's "shit" from a while ago, though it has more views than any of your videos ;)

[chidragon60]

is that acoustic electric or just acoustic? im new at this stuff

[boasdubbelman]

@chidragon60 It's an acoustic guitar, but there's a mic built in so actually it's an acoustic -electric guitar :P. On this (old) recording I played unplugged and used the cam for recording both audio and video.

[chidragon60]

@boasdubbelman cool real nice..think i want one of those..lol

[FCBarcelonaDude]

[karate960]

[NarutoRasengan1028]

[boasdubbelman]

I feel honored, but I prefer people asking me for the tabs over youtube mail. I like to see that people of many different countries over the world enjoy music :). So if you're interested, send me a PM containing your email adress and I'll be happy to send you the tabs!

Boas

[mujahbarruka]

[caljam007]

[boasdubbelman]

@caljam007 True.. the video kinda sucks. To be honest, I never expected this little video would attract so many views. I'm not changing it because I hope people will watch my other videos too. I'm planning on uploading some more stuff.

[surfmusicjamweedgirl]

[boasdubbelman]

Yes, well, the Dutch band Krezip (no longer existing) covered it in an acoustic setting, it gave me an idea and I worked it out this way.

[rthjehrt]

hey can you send me the tabs?

[boasdubbelman]

Give me a personal message with your email adress and I'll send them :)

[enzonoa]

ha ha !!!!

[bigdood]

this sounds EXACTLY like Adam Rafferty's version of Billie Jean... I find it impossible that you have come up with the EXACT same progression and bass line... If you copied Adam and took credit, shame on ya... and if you didn't the similarity is beyond belief! :-/

[keffbanan]

it's not the same, it's just the same chords.. which happen to be the same chords as the song and I'm pretty sure neither of them wrote it.

[boasdubbelman]

Hey bigdood! I never heard of the guy until your comment, so I did't steal it. In fact, I just checked and I uploaded my video 3 months before his version was uploaded. Greetzzz, Boas

[bigdood]

my apologies, Boas -- I guess that's what happens when someone as great as Stevie Wonder writes something so timeless that everyone wants to play the same thing! Thanks for being gracious and not ripping me a new one for my comment. Keep up the great work -- hey, Adam Rafferty is one of the worlds best, and if I can't tell the difference between your arrangement and his, it speaks volumes about your ability to transcribe to fingerstyle. Looking forward to hearing the rest someday! PEACE...

[bigdood]

DUHHHH... I meant Michael Jackson.... I have watched one too many videos today! LOL

[boasdubbelman]

Apologies accepted ;)

[cookie51508]

Yes it's a Yamaha CPX-5S TMB to be exact. Lovely instrument :)!

[SeizeTheDayTomorrow]

Thought so it was an Yamaha CPX, I considered to buy the CPX 500 ;] But I took an APX 500. I love mine too ;] But in some kind of way Yamaha almost always rocks ;d

[quincy451]

love the thumb over the top...the first version on accustic that songed right as much as was presented...most just sound wrong..yea they hit the right notes...but this is a difficult sound to get out of a accustic.

[boasdubbelman]

Thanks man! Actually, I should take some time and play the entire song in this style.

[Gitlos]

Nice. I figured it out some other way. Check it.

[Resortitogirl]

billie jean! yeah!!

[Spaarzegel]

Heb je deze toevallig ook uitgewerkt als tab?

[boasdubbelman]

Ja ik heb er destijds een pdfje (met tabs) van gemaakt. Moet ik dat naar je toe mailen?

[Spaarzegel]

Graag, ik PM je wel eventjes.

[lolypopkasumi]

OH MY GOSH, I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO!..

[davocreative]

great dude

[airsoftdude44]

@Everybody, thanks for watching my video and post a response about it.

Im quite busy now, but when I've got some more time on my hands, I'll upload some other stuff. Jazz, Jimi Hendrix, just what I'm interested in and capable of at that moment.. See ya!

[boasdubbelman]

I can understand chokkoARCOR a little, in his classical style the thumb is only used on rare  occassions. But, even as a classical guitarist, you should respect other approaches to playing guitar. I respect chokkoARCOR's approach to the guitar and it disappoints me that he can't do the same. Personnally, I use my thumb all the time. And I Love it yeah!!

[h0lystrike]

LOL nice, to the comment below by chokkoARCOR, if you knew anything about guitar especially classical you would know its ok to use your thumb in special cases and this is one very good case!

[chokkoARCOR]

bass with thumb?

that's not nice..

you're fail.. try again later

[rikzz0r]

What are you talking about? Who cares that he does it with his thumb? You're just jealous because you suck at playing bass... You're a fail yourself.. He owns! :D

[boasdubbelman]
