Queen of Portland Street - Matt Mays (Cover)

[amyburt05]

Hey! Just wondering what key harmonica you use! Awesome cover!

[chrsdl]

@amyburt05 Hey, I'm using a "G" harmonica for this tune.

Super easy to play too - just mess around between your 4th and 8th sound holes to get the sound Matt was using.

Thanks for checking out my cover!

[elcharlo]

Harmonica in the key of G?

[chrsdl]

@elcharlo Hey!

Yes, the harps in the key of G! I just fooled around with it to make it sound similar. It's not perfect though!

Cheers

[08EvanG]

Hey I am really interested in knowing the chords and strumming pattern for this song,! any help? thanks man, great cover by the way!

[chrsdl]

@08EvanG Hey!

I'll try and put together a instructional video for this song in the next couple days. But, in the meantime, it's a pretty basic chord progression. G to C in the verses ..and Em - G - C - G in the chorus! The breakdown part is just a variation of D to C to Am!

Hope this helps!

[08EvanG]

@chrsdl

thanks for the speedy reply, much appreciated!

[BruceMac9]

@08EvanG I'll teach you. lol

[shankill1919]

sweet cover man awesome job, what key is the harp in?

[chrsdl]

@shankill1919 Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it!

The harp is in the key of G! ..It's the same key Matt uses.. I just play it slightly different!

Amazing cover. Great vocals. Awesome job on guitar and harmonica. :) ~~Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Team Shelby Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ~~

[chrsdl]

@shelbydresselfanclub Thank you very much!

I appreciate it!:)

[AbbeyRoad236]

thanks for "spamming my inbox" lol glad you did. I really think this is your best cover yet. Its cool that you're playing the harmonica and guitar at the same time. I've always wanted to do that

[chrsdl]

@AbbeyRoad236 Thanks Abbey!

It's actually not as hard as it looks (playing the harp with the guitar). You just basically have to breathe in and out to the beat, with a few stylish notes here and there!

[AbbeyRoad236]

@chrsdl sounds complicated to me haha thanks for the tips though

[Spintown9]

Nice work with the harmonica.

[chrsdl]

@Spintown9 Thanks a bunch!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[MerrySox]

We need to do another little duo on here sometime soon - maybe when I get my new camera?

[MerrySox]

@chrsdl Yeah, let's do that! Perhaphs some Shining Eyes?

[chrsdl]

@MerrySox Shining Eyes for sure!

[MaryJen93]
