Acoustic Cover - Letter G - Green Day

Here is the latest - [mention]JD01[/mention] I almost have "Sorrow" down, hopefully get it up in a week or so, thanks for the suggestion.

This time I used my Sennheiser e609 on the guitar. Wanted to use a dynamic mic here to round off and thicken the acoustic a bit.

I'm having flashbacks to middle school and high school graduation now.

Tony - I think you're supposed to downtune to the top E to D for that one! Bit late for a critique I know

Not sure about the tuning but I definitely put my own twist on this one. Strumming pattern is different and he rarely hits the high e string.

Sounds good turtle. I've heard the song a million times but I've not noticed that the top is downtuned... I'll have to go and listen more closely to the original now. Works fine as you've done it anyway.

I had no idea this song was called Good Riddance!! HA! Always thought it was called time of your life. I thought it was a great cover. You lent yourself to it really well. I'm not a huge fan of carbon copy covers anyways. Some creative liberties must be taken when doing covers. The mic choice on the guitar worked out well. I thought it sounded great.

[mention]musicturtle[/mention] the Sorrow song you mentioned that [mention]JD01[/mention] is it the Bad Religion version? i'd second that as i have tried it a few times and i find the play though a bit tough. Mind you i don't practice i just try to hammer it out via memory and i suck to put it plainly. It it is a deceptively complex little dity. Would definitely be cool to see how you tackle it.

Thanks guys.

[mention]WhiskeyJack[/mention] Yeah the song is from Bad Religon. There is an acoustic version by their singer but I like it more in the original key for my voice. So it will sort of be a cross between the two I think.
