Ani DiFranco - Swim

Here's me covering "Swim" by Ani Difranco. Still waiting for my baritone guitar to arrive so this one is tuned down one and a half step. Guitar is a Larrivee OM-03.

Please be sure to also check out my other version of this song, played on my Alvarez Baritone!

hey, this is pretty good! thanks. have a question though. i've got most of the tabs down, but how do you get the high tones in right after the bass ? do you also tune down one and a half step the highest three snares? can't get those tones. :) thanks in advance

@Mandourage I think you mean the natural harmonics. If you put your finger on the 5th, 7th or 12th fret and gently touch (do not press down!) the string, you will hear a harmonic when you strike the string. Try it ;-)

Nice man, very good vocal/hands independance. I LOVE this guitar btw. how do you like it? It'll be my next acoustic for sure.

[whipy]

it's a very nice guitar, that in my opinion really shines on open tunings. right now i have it tuned to DADADE. you'll be hard pressed to find a better sounding guitar for under $1000.

your guitar playing sounds amazing. i've been trying to find a tab for this song but haven't had much luck so far. did you figure this out by ear?

[whipy]

yes, i did. it's really not that hard. i don't know which tuning she uses for the song, so i just used standard tuning, dropped down. the harmonics and such are gonna sound differently, but that's not really a big deal :-)

[Mandourage]

@whipy it works!! haha. so cool when you learn something new. thanks a lot for your reply!! :)

Thank you for your respect for this song and artist. I will keep this going at local open mic nights.

[Rutagher]

bravo. yours is the first "swim" cover i've seen that plays the actual riff. all the others i've seen cheap-out by strumming the chords only.

[ghettiegirl]

[Nostalgiahatesme]
