Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues (cover and baby serenade!)

My new album for listen and download here!: http://oberoncarter.bandcamp.com/album/natural-life

It seems appropriate to sing a song with this title to my little bub who is so helpless, as all humans are in their early years.

I tuned all strings down a half step. Not sure if the chords are exact - just going by ear. Based around E, A and B shapes.

Did I mention Fleet Foxes are AMAZING? New album out May 3rd!

This is the corniest thing I've seen in a while.

[berondi]

@captainbadd sometimes kids respond really well to corniness. and you gotta do what you gotta do to keep your kids happy.

[bootysurgeon]

Great job. The first part has parts that sound very hard to sing. Did you have to work on it for a while?

[berondi]

@bootysurgeon yeah the vocal line is a little tricky - took me a while. i spent ages trying to learn the outro parts to the song too, but didn't record them here. maybe another time!

[w31h0ng]

Hey! Anyone knows what recorder is he using for the audio? Sounds amazing!

[DarthSmittius]
