i didnt hear it, but trust me, singing in public is FUN... the self-consciousness dies away when you realise that no-one gives a f^ck whet you're doing anyway.

WOW![img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img]

Fantastic voice, great guitar playing, really enjoyed it[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

please don't stop singing in public, i'd gladly pay to hear you sing, it's really amazing! great sensitivity and emotion, voice has a lovely sound to it, great variation in the expression - i loved every second [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

wow! i'm really glad (and shocked) that people enjoyed it! thanks a million for all your comments, i've never really sung for anyone so it means a lot. [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img]

Well done mate, that is a great cover!!!

Especially when you belt it out at the end, you have a really strong voice, nice one.

Also the guitar is handled really well and it is very accurate.

megomoo · 08-25-2004, 07:12 PM

cartman · 08-29-2004, 09:29 PM

good cover, you got the guitar to a tee, tried palying along there but f**k cant get it that perfect YET... i have it pretty acurate

Cyberbob · 08-30-2004, 04:02 PM

That playing was perfect, and the singing...BRILLIANT! You'd have no problems singing in public. I'm so damn jealous now...I've never understood how that song is played (damn incorrect tabs I keep getting)

jmc105 · 08-30-2004, 08:21 PM

cheers cyberbob!

i had a look at the tab on this site and i think it's making things more complicated than it needs to be... here's what i do.

capo 5th fret.

chords used are F C and G:

--F--C--G

--1--0--3

--1--1--0

--2--0--0

--3--2--0

--3--3--2

--1--x--3

so at the start it goes from F to C, and you hammer-on with the second finger for both chords. when you play the F chord, play it first without the second finger, then hammer-on. for thefinal chord (G) I hammer-on the first fret on the b-string, altho i'm not sure if that's exactly right.

the whole song basically uses those ideas. i find it easier myself to think of it in terms of chords rather than an actual tab.

anyway, hope that's of some help! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

jmc105 · 08-30-2004, 08:23 PM

PS!!

for the F chord, use your thumb on the low E string, don't bar the chord with your first finger, otherwise when you hammer-on you'll get the wrong note. sorry if you knew that already, it just took me a while to figure out what damo was doing there!

Cyberbob · 08-30-2004, 08:39 PM

actually, thats what was wrong with my method, cheers man!
