ELO - Livin' Thing (Cover)

This is my version along with how to play it (chords and everything). A few mistakes due to nerves and never having done this before and not having the best of recording devices so please go easy on the ctiticism! :)

@katkal3 You're welcome. Glad I could help. It's an awesome song. How's your version coming along? Sorry for the delya in replying! Cheers.

You have inspired me to learn this song on guitar...I tried a bunch of websites to learn the chords, but they never sounded good enough to me, Thankfully at the end of this you gave a run down on how to play it. Thx man, keep rockin!

By the way are you Australian?

[stoffershorty]

No... I'm British-Spanish! ;)

Just like ATeam192 said, right after the Dm during the chorus the next chord is D augmented. (Not G) It will sound strange to you at first, but that is how Jeff wrote it and it is what also gives it that ELO sound. Nice job.

Thanks for the corrections. When I have more time (looking very doubtful at the moment) I will have to re-record it with the right notes and a better microphone & video. I'll probably be the same age as Jeff by then too!

Very nice job, especially for your first live recording! Constructive criticism: I thought you started out each verse pretty strong -- you sounded more than a little like Lynne himself in parts -- and then lost a little passion during the chorus and toward the middle. It's hard to be strong on vocals and concentrate on getting the fingering right at the same time. And as you said, some of the higher registers and falsetto are very difficult to do properly. Still, well done -- thank you!

Very nice! Excellent job. =)

Started off great! I think you should re-do and nail it. Great job regardless man, but the first verses and chorus really had that passion. Thanks for the chords too man.

Gracias......it´s always difficult to play songs like ELO´S ones, in the original with so many instruments, only with a guitar.........well done, and thanks......

[dougsfield]

Great! I like how you showed the chords at the end. I play a little guitar. I think I'll try it. The vocal range seems a little hard.
