The bass plays such a prominent role in the original version of this song, that my acoustic efforts to play the song seemed …way off. You did a nice job of showing me how to use power chords up and down the neck to capture the spirit of the original recording. Kudos.
Omnipresent phrase in my mind Spoken word I've said one million times Who are you to tell me it'll always be this way I close my eyes and I turn around And leave it all behind So free for the moment Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky So free for the moment Lost because I wanna be lost Don't try to find me Always try to breeze through my life Repetitious things I've done one million times Who are you to tell me that I'll always be this way I close my eyes and I turn around And leave it all behind What could I do It's not such a terrible thing What would you do It's not such a terrible thing So free for the moment Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky So free for the moment Lost because I wanna be lost So free for the moment Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky So free for the moment Lost because I wanna be lost Don't try to find me
a lot of factors go into sound. room acoustics, nut and saddle material, strings, finger strength, setup, etc. i have one too and i would agree that mine doesn’t sound anything like this video. thought i might’ve heard once that he would use very old worn in strings but i’m not sure
@@dracopliskin definitely some old strings, you can hear that immediately on the low strings. I’ve had a set of John Pearse Mediums on mine for about 3 months with daily use, and it sounds a lot closer to this now
I'll make a video some time this week and post it as a response to this...I'll do it of me playing it on my Fender Telecaster HH through a Fender Blues Junior with a fuzz box to get the tone I feel like this was recorded with
