Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon

[BearFan09]

Nice job. Spot on acoustics and a Bob Dylan-esqe voice.

[silwadi03]

damn..........................­.

[evinlg671]

Man you bneed to do a tutorial your cover is awesome!

[scodmanrocker]

Great Voice!!!! very good

[scodmanrocker]

Great Voice!!!!

[SethBalestrieri]

Check out my version of this song!!

[ericmcq3121]

DbAbDbAbDbDb there satan

[Caribbedich]

Kinda girly fingers, dont you think?

[djtrixen]

Wow you actually bothered to tune your guitar to the correct tuning. NICE.

[Ubbbb5]

good ;)

[lucifer73]

Open G tuning?

[thefrequencykenneth]

Good work!

[PepperDr94]

OMG what u r doing on youtube man! Get to a recording company!!!!!!!!

[AMKFheart]

Great voice, great playing. But if you'd like some constructive criticism- enunciate. There were some times when I couldn't tell exactly what you were saying. As my private teacher would say- "diction is done with the tip of the tongue." Ha, say that five times fast! :)

[AintGotNothin]

Terrible voice. Doesn't even use his stomach, whiffs on some of his words. Great accuracy guitar wise, but get real on the voice. I can sing way better than that and I've never received formal lessons.

[xDanieIx]

@AintGotNothin Dont see you postin up anything better so stfu

[BlueAcred]

@AintGotNothin Lol where is all the "way better than that" voice of yours? Can't see 1 single video. Don't have bag out his stuff when you've put nothing up yourself. At least he has the guts to actually post something (which is fucking fantastic btw man :) ) up yourself much. Damn right you got nothin'

[nikolaybumbay]

for a second there i thought that WAS jhonny's voice.....

[OpenupyourhearttoGod]

amazing!!!(L)

[Squirrels65]

You are the only person I have heard sing this that can get remotely close to Johnny Rzeznik's voice!! That is amazing!!!!!!!! AWESOME JOB!

[DartmouthAlum96]

Great job!

[leahmuys18]

r u singing...bc u have a great voice.

[ExhaleTheLight]

awesome man. Your voice is great too.

[Joschmo939]

I want to play this song! you made it pretty good!

[Melindaca2]

Pretty good voice ! Really good actually!

[2r1c]

Pal, you sing soo much....in my opiniou you must introduce more enfasis, more emotion on your voice.

[triccia08]

i love this cover so much! wish i could tune my guitar like this. :-|

[NuevoRockDDV]

hey dude... it sounds really cool... :)

[jaimeiscool145]

im learning how to play this song and you helped me a lot just by watching you! Great singing too! :) 5 starsss

[hooners123]

almost dead-on, but for the "almost fell into that hole...." chord use 020000 instead - much better. other than that, not bad. Alternate it every other time.

[TwoDaysInFebruary]

just done a cover of this song, done it in standard tuning but with the into which i think i have figured out :)

No one on utube seems to play the iconic intro, its awsome

[hamured]

not bad

[humpreystrong]

the guitar is tuned to open D5 tuning transposed down one half step so you should ''change'' the ''standard tuning'' of the guitar to this key (low to high: Db-Ab-Db-Ab-Db-Db ). it helps to use a tuner.. once youve tuned the six strings into that key, you can now do or follow nadziranim's chords! Enjoy playing! this is also one of my favorite songs!

[XXktc123]

i love this video but cant understand the tuning for the song... everywhere i look it says DDADAD but when i tune my guitar to that it doesnt sound right...

[TehAmazingJonathan]

That's close to the original recording, just drop all the strings a half step. It's called open Db: Db-Ab-Db-Ab-Db-Db from lowest to highest. That's the tuning on the original

[Skooma714]

Better than original

[felicia248]

oomgg!! You're Fucking AMAZING!!

[raincity27]

ur fucking amazingggggggggg

Your flawlesss dude

please never stop

I'm in love with this video

[LovinRoses7]

[anomalytrade]

[FedoraKat]

[otnika25]

[Rush4Life70494]

i've been trying to learn this too!

Check out my cover of Name!

[witchylynx]

awesome!

good voice!

great playing!

[jimm06126]

Ireally like the song but I guess you were out oftune in some parts when you sang it, but apart from that,everything was OK

[Elisamuel22]

kewl. You got Skills!!

[uvanity]

very distinguished voice!!!  the best cover of that song........

[Nesh16041972]

Very good! May I please aks you how you tuned your guitar?

[xDynaBlade]

DADADd

[Nesh16041972]

Thanks!

[linkinfan07]

this is an amazing cover

probably the best goo goo dolls cover iv ever heard, and i love the goo goo dolls

brilliant

[DonTreadOnUs]

Dude, you play the crap out of that song. And I can't believe you did all the parts. No cheating.

When the goo goo dolls sing it it takes two alternating and simultaneous guitar work.

You did everything with one!!!

And you have a ROCK STAR quality voice. It's even a little rusty, like a Rock star's voice usually is.

Five stars. Wish I could give Ten!

[nadziranim]

Thanks very much for the kind comments, feels good to know that people appreciate the music. Thanks!

[artsandmusic45]

This is aweomse.. Its a hard song to sing and you did. Great job!

[therogerz]

Dude, great job! Loved it.

[hugosantos]

very good!

[GabrieIIII]

you're amazing good job guy !

[mallardh]

Ur voice is too nasally for this type of music. U'd probably be really good at playing some tom petty stuff.

[shortcakeee26]

nice voice, iar doesnt sound as ooas original. very good tho =)

[skynetarc]

PunkP,

have you seen the dude playing a piano version of this song. If you haven't you should check it out. Good job dude.

[PunkPrincessRocker]

This is definately the best cover of this song..

Very good playing and your voice in the verses is simply amazing!

(Bit flat in the chorus)

Well done!

♥

[luissespinosa]

couple of mistakes but good job

[Mr96tears]

Nice cover man. I saw the Goo's this summer. I've always liked the Goo's, but they're not good live. Johnny wasn't singing that good at all. I was disappointed. Still a fan though.

[Grouchino84]

I definitely don't think that Jhonny Rzeznik is not good live. He's great! Why dont you try to listen the goo goo dolls storytellers, or the live at Buffalo...you'll surely change your mind. Trust me...:)

[arn123321]

all his stuff is hard to sing and he's been touring for so long his voice sounds rough these days, I agree.. watch some of his live stuff when he was younger tho... amazing

[rothe31]

Great job, that song is so fun to play just sucks retuning the guitar to play that one song, and I always end up breaking a string going back into standard tuning!

[ch3693]

Yeah but instead of the original d a d etc. tune he actually uses that but a half step lower to put less tensions on the g string which is most likely to break and still sounds awesome..

[karpismar]

that happen to my high e when i put it back also

lol

[coreydgarrett]

is that in drop d?

[karpismar]

open d

daddad

[basilin]

Good job.

[FrankieTank]

Hi man. Really good playing. Which chords are you using? :)

[PunkPrincessRocker]

Err why have two people put a thumbs down for this coment?

He's complimenting you idiots!

[idwinudlose]

ehh u could use a lil practice with the strumming patterns...

[Poseidon3]

very nice! are you playing those harmonics WHILE strumming the chords!?

[keith7381]

! that was really good best cover i have heard from this song. keep playing!

[yzman87]

nice man, how long have you been playing?

[Azzshana]

Wow, very nice.

[9stinky9]

great cover

[klekje]

OOOh! Niiice <3! Me likes your voice and me are liking your guitar play too! ^_^ Me woulds almost says that me likes your version better than the Goo Goo Dolls! Greaty job!

[MATTHISBILT]

dude i absoulutely love your style, awesome voice, awesome guitar player, may i request that you show your face, it really takes away from the music

[MrBlackBalloon]

Hey.

Well done. Crispy voice. I like it.

[windrush123]

aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome

[MrBlackBalloon]

Well done!

[singer1801]

wow ur rlly good at singing this song u sound a little bit like the singer johnny great job!!!

[tonywlks]

What did you tune your guitar too cause i know the Goo Goo Dolls use some weird tuning

[fonetapper]

Its in flat tuning

[dingguhlbary]

i just watched the other covers, and yours is the best. sorry for the double commenting, but i just wanted to let you know. the other guys sucked.

[dingguhlbary]

nice job. i dont play guitar or anything but it sounds good, and isnt that all that matters?

[nathan4288]

lol are you missing t

[mandafool24]

you have beautiful hands lol.

[2000coco]

that is so so much better than what i could do..i wish i could play the guitar...good job!

[coronakid2k]

most of it is correct when it comes to the guitar playing, i duno why people r saying its not right.. i play it almost the same way.. just a little bit more advanced.. i duno i play it exactly like johnny does live, half step lower than usual.. but ya.. 4 out of 5 from one musician to another

[dmarvin811]

Wonderful job, friend. Makes me want to pick up the guitar

[Komaster1991]

Hey m8 . Is your Guitar tunes down for playing that ?

[blkjedi954]

of all the covers i've heard, your voice is by the far, the best. Kudos!!!

[nadziranim]

thanks very much. glad you like it!

[NukeRedmond]

great! but definitly need a better tab, the tuning for the betetr sounding one is DADDAD, so try to use that, and you have girl hands, cut your nails :P

[nadziranim]

hahaha thanks NukeRedmond, I'll go get them cut right now, and I'll try that tuning!

[boonlerk]

woot! i liiiiike! 5 stars just because. :)

[mickeyt86]

I like your voice, reminds me of early Dylan. btw, you got the tabs wrong and you should work on your strumming pattern, maybe a thinner pick. Solid effort, nice one

[nadziranim]

thanks man. Yeah I wasn't using a pick and I changed abit of the song like the pre-chorus because it sounded hollow without all the strings backing up.
