Bon Iver cover - Blood Bank
Hey all. This is a cover I did earlier tonight of Blood Bank by Bon Iver. Doesn't quite measure up to the original, as expected, but I tried to do enough with it to make it worthwhile. Enjoy, or at least reasonably tolerate. Comments/feedback appreciated. I also have a couple Damien covers in that thread if anyone's curious.

Thank you! Might be my favorite Bon Iver song. Top three, anyway.
For what I'm playing...the chords are pretty basic, just Em, D, C, and G. My guitar is in standard but his is in this weird, pseudo-open E (or G? Can't remember which) tuning. I found if I played slightly different chord voicings, it sounds close enough, since the chords he actually plays are all pretty standard but a different color because of the tuning. Here's what I play (look up the tabs on ultimateguitar for the order and such)... -0---0---0---0---0- -0---0---0---3---3- -0---0---0---0---2- -2---4---2---0---0- -2---5---3---2---0- -0---5---3---3---2- Em...D....C....G.....D The second D is the one played after the G during the chorus areas, as opposed to the first D played during the Em-D-C verse. I also mess around with the D string on the C a bit, sometimes playing it open, hammering the 2, whatever. It's really flexible. Also, focus more on the bass strings. |
