Truckstop Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 He seriously needs to trim his strings before I punch him in the face. God! Just trim them!!!! Nicely done though. Truckstop Quote
risingson Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Great guitar player, he nailed the tune. Brutal honesty though, I thought it was tame and when he got to the verse the thing totally deflated. For this kind of thing to work you've got to be able to embellish on an existing song for it to work and he didn't, not close. That was more like watching a good counterfeiter at work with some skills with a guitar, there was no music there to be spoken of as such. Better than the original? Nah! Quote
lettsguitars Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 I do agree to some extent. It kinda trails off a bit but I must say it sounds better without Martins awful nasally droning. I just happened upon his album and thought it was quite cool and I was generally impressed with his accuracy. Every note is clear as a bell. Quote

jackers Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 isn't this the song that they settled out of court with Joe Satriani over? Quote
lettsguitars Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 I think so. There are a few related comments on the youtube vid. Quote

iconic Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I wish I could an instrument half as well, great tune now....funny thing about Cold Play, their covers are always better [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iG0j_wMFHk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iG0j_wMFHk[/url] Quote
dave_bass5 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I didnt think that was any more exciting than the original (much less really). Elevator music for people who just need something in the background. Quote
Tee Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I prefer Nylon Maiden. [media]http://youtu.be/xRUxqubFLec[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/yQbhNX7RtuM[/media] Quote
