Elliott Smith cover "angeles" by jimski

****Youtube seriously needs to fix this synch problem after uploads..sorry for the delay**** This song is sooo intense to me....very hard to keep pace ...anyways my version is slowed down a bit...did my best...let me know what you think...by the way i tried to to do the different vocal tracks like elliot liked to do..so if you think you hear two of me..your right. Sorry it took so long zzzap.

i actually prefer to see all artists tweak a song, in even the slightest way, when they cover it. cause otherwise you're pretty much listening to a generic knockoff of the original. so on that note,

well done kind sir.

note: just about all the people who leave rude comments on other peoples videos, never have any videos of themselves creating or playing something. perhaps there lack of talent and creativity can give you a little insight into why they are such enormous douche bags. haha

[jimski123]

hey ernie.....yeah the comments dont really bother me...but it is quite hilarious that someone takes the time to make comments like that....indeed they are douche bags...and i hope they get the Herpes. By they way I will get back to you on that recording gear here in the next day...sorry its taken so long...ive got family in and havent been on the computer much... anyways talk to you soon buddy.

[jimski123]

but I didnt try to play it like he did......thats my point dumb shit...it has nothing to do with being lazy or not being able to play it....its about making the song my own.....which is what alot of people do when they cover songs.....so asshole i didnt ask for your opinion....you decided that you needed to comment on this video.

[ReedSan]

Good job. Though you should look up the real tabs and actully play the picking structure the way Elliott did

[jimski123]

why would I want to do that???

[Nathaniel222]

because your "cover" is so much different from the original version that you could call it: "some lame picking pattern to the lyrics of angeles"

if you cant play the song, dont cover it.

[jimski123]

so a cover has to be exactly like the original..right? or no..that doesnt really make sense does it genius.

[ChemicalFrankenstein]

obviously never heard elliott before

[cheekychen]

fantastic. bravo.

[addwholename]

good stuff jimski. i liked it.

[ErnieMichael]

as far as the question about the gear goes, don't worry about getting back to me right away, cause i did end up reading a comment where you mentioned what you use, but i was wondering if i should be concerned about the random popping sound that happens sometimes, or is that just a result of wear and tear?

[pjaysayss]

although you did it slower, which i dont usually prefer, this is very awesomee.

nice work.

[redcapchew]

not too much energy, great song this version has no energy

[LeLeXplosive]

hum , you've must work on the voice and the timing , sorry but i don't think that's good

[ZachFlo28]

I hate to give a negative comment but the timing and vocals are waaaaay off. Need to do the proper picking to cover this song. Maybe if the timing was right and got a filter for the vocal it would sound ok. Try listening to the real song and playing with it, keeping in time all the way through.

[onelastpiano]

incredible job on this song. i like how you even did the dual vocals. thats the only way to cover elliott smith. love it
