Death Cab for Cutie Acoustic Photobooth Cover

Here's my acoustic cover of DCfC or Death Cab for Cutie's "Photobooth" off the The Forbidden Love EP (in High Def!!!). It's definitely one of my favorite songs written by Ben Gibbard. It's fun to play and it's also a quick way to check if my guitar is tuned.

After recording all the guitars for Photobooth, it felt like something was lacking...so I went back in to record the percussion part. Recording the drums last isn't the best way to mix a song, so my timing might be a little off in a few parts.

BTW, maybe a uber DCfC fan can tell me why Gibbard named it "Photobooth" instead of "Photo Booth"?

Anyways, I'm pretty sure this video won't get as many views as my others, but who knows, maybe this Twilight crazy will keep up and "Meet Me on the Equinox" will become a huge commercial success. (Ewww.)

Enjoy.

PS That's Acoustic Guitar Magazine's 10 Anniversary Taylor 914CE that I'm playing. Yes, it does kick ass (I wish I owned it)...

What is your opinion regarding the electronics of Taylor 914ce? are they good enough?

[RomanceExplosionLive]

@kgiorgos Funny enough, the Taylor that I'm playing here was made for Acoustic Guitar Magazine's 10th Anniversary (in 2000). They had two custom made, one of which they gave away and one they keep in the office. Because of some weird problem, they never bothered setting up the electronics in this one. Sorry I can't help!

where did you learn how to play this song?

[RomanceExplosionLive]

@andrew171 Watched a couple of acoustic performances on youtube, browsed a couple tabs, rearranged some parts, and figured out the vocal melody by ear. Cheers!
