I don't think a capo is needed for this song. every other guitar cover and lesson doesn't call for a capo.

@EasyExpertVillage All the capo does is alter the key you're playing in. If you struggle to sing in a certain key without the capo then you can just use one to alter it to taste. I've never said you 'need' to play with a capo, it just made the song easier for me.

your pitch is way too high dude listen to the studio recorded or just play Rock Band 3 and you'll see

[mortykid1989]

@Knightowl102 Whenever I do a cover my intention is not to copy a song exactly. I regularly change the key of the song (by adding a capo or tuning down) as it helps with songs that are difficult to sing in the original key. Check my other videos, you'll see that I often don't follow original songs exact.

I don't think you sing it bad. You did a good job. :)

Kudos to someone DOING A COVER! Really. Doing it without background music is a win :) Well done! And indeed nice use of the capo, stuff the *BUT YA DON'T NEED AH CAPOH* comments. They're shot. Win.

I thought this sounded really good. Me and a friend of mine are perfoming this at a show soon and I was looking for an acoustic cover. You made it sound real nice :).

i loved it, covering a song isnt about copying a song part for part, its about making it your own in some unique way, good job

[xXxSovietRussiaxXx]

great job. the singing was great, dont say it was bad:)

[thesilverhart]

its awsome dude im trying to learn it and this helps confidence :p

[GuaranteedSanctuary]

I love your singing voice. You're one of those few English people who don't sing in an American accent.

[iksoserg]

You made the song your own, good job.
