Ben Folds Five - Mess (cover by Ben-Ezra Sound Project)

Here I am with another guitar arrangement of a great Ben Folds Five song. This one has more elaborate instrumentation than Magic, but I stuck a bit more closely to the format of the original arrangement. The guitar definitely gives a different vibe than the piano on the original, though!

Nice work bro. Most people butcher Ben Folds' songs but you've added another dynamic to this song which is cool. =) All the best with your musical talents. God bless, Tim

Thanks a lot, man. I find that Ben Folds has pretty much an identical vocal range to mine, so I find his stuff pretty easy to sing. It's definitely a fun challenge coming up with ways to translate hispiano-based stuff to guitar.

This is excellent man...your take on it works very well! Awesome job!

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks a lot! It translated well to guitar for sure, I had a good feeling about it from the start.

Very good indeed, very well laid and out performed. I'll be watching this again.

Thanks! Hope you enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

[Adfumbler]

Holy %#@$!!! This is hands down the best Ben Folds cover on You Tube!

Damn, you nailed this one!!!

[NJcable]

Wow great cover and vid - keep it up!

[emmabugsmama]

WOW! SHIT,YEA!

[sjderge]

Beautiful cover! Ben Folds is hard to cover, and you did this magnificently

[BrownThrasher]

Really nice job. I would only say to go easy on the pitch correction. It sounds like you used it pretty heavily and it takes away from your natural talent. It makes it a bit robotic!
