Cocain Revisited

I was going through some files on my computer and came upon this. Think it's about a year old. There are a couple of little screw ups in there which is probably why I didn't upload it at the time. I obviously wasn't happy with it but I guess my standards must be slipping! :)

Slowed it down and lowered it to give it a bit of a different feel.

Brilliant, again, it's so helpful to have good covers on YouTube to help folk like ms learn these tunes. Your JM covers are among the best up here. Great flow and magic vocals.

@1978BenF I agree. I've picked up much from fellow enthusiasts on youtube and hope that a few others have learned a bit from me. Thanks a lot for the comments. Much appreciated.

One of my favorit songs much better than the Dylan version.

It would make JM proud.

Make no mistakes cause it's all for the sake of LOVE

How did I miss this one Jim; thank you for sending it. This is brilliant! Your "little screw ups" to me are quite charming and wouldn't have it any other way. Bravo Jim - all stars to YOU!

cheers

Thanks Julie.

Enjoy that Jansch CD :)

any chance of you doing a lesson for the picking pattern?

[Waggonerslad]

Damn, I thought I got away with that one! :) There's a worse slip at the end of the first chorus actually but who's counting?

It's actually tuned down a whole step and capoed at the third. I quite often have it tuned down because it gives the strings a nice loose feel.

Many thanks for your comments Ian.

Oh - you mean the 'slight miss' at the end 5 secs to go..? Thats the only 'hiccup' beyond perfection I detected actually. Personally I'd be really pleased if I'd have done that the way you did with such a slip. Also the vocals and guitar - great together- (much better than my attempt for example).

[I know you're in standard here, but -is that 'concert pitch standard' open and then you capoed two frets up?]

-regardless, glad you uploaded this.

5* poorer again
