How to play Dave’s Song - Whitney (Guitar Tutorial)
A quick lesson on how to play Dave’s Song by Whitney.
This an another I’ve been asked to show my workings on in terms of how I play it. I thought I took most of it from ultimate guitar but it actually looks quite different to what I’m playing so not sure it’s as useful as I make it out to be in the video - here’s the link either way: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/whitney/daves-song-chords-1855969
There’s also another tab here which is useful: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/whitney/daves-song-tabs-2425733
The link to my actual cover is here as well if you want to see what it sounds like when done properly-ish: ruclips.net/video/-0XxmavCJEg/видео.htmlsi=hpvvpLCmxvOjXQRR

Evergreen (feat. Caamp) - Richy Mitch & the Coal Miners (Cover)
Просмотров 228День назад
An honest attempt at the new version of Evergreen by Richy Mitch & the Coal Miners which includes a verse by Caamp. A beautiful song and as soon as the Caamp version was released I felt I had to have a go at it. If you haven’t heard the actual version, I can’t recommend highly enough. Chords for the most part are just F-Am-C, then for the bridge it’s F-Am-F-C and then immediately after it’s F-A...
How to play Big Black Car - Gregory Alan Isakov (Guitar Tutorial)
Просмотров 199Месяц назад
My first ever guitar tutorial lol I’ve had quite a few comments (relatively speaking - it’s a small channel) asking me how to play this song. I had the below tabs in the comments but I’ve decided to do a video alongside it to clarify. Now I am not a guitar tutor and this is the first time I’ve ever done anything like a guitar lesson so this won’t be great and for that I apologise, but it should...
Feeling Whitney - Post Malone (Cover)
Просмотров 1172 месяца назад
An honest attempt at Feeling Whitney by @postmalone. Apologies for not being around much recently - I’ve been swamped with work and life and everything in between the past few months so haven’t really found the time or impetus to do one of these. It’s going to be the same for the next month or so as well as I’m actually flying home to Scotland in a few days! This is a lovely song by someone I’v...
Strawberry Wine - Noah Kahan (Cover)
Просмотров 5235 месяцев назад
An honest attempt at Strawberry Wine by @NoahKahan. My mums been asking me to do a Noah Kahan song for a while so this is long overdue (if you don’t count Sarah’s Place). The chords in this are just about the same as the original (except he plays capo 7), but the picking and hammers and everything else are pretty much entirely different - as with most of these I just find something I like and...
Chamomile - Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra (Cover)
Просмотров 1626 месяцев назад
An honest attempt at Chamomile by Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra. It’s been the best part of 2 years since I did a Walter Etc cover, which is wrong and for which I am sorry - desperately trying to make amends now. Any Qs etc, comment away.
Sarah’s Place - Zach Bryan (feat. Noah Kahan) (Cover)
Просмотров 6318 месяцев назад
An honest attempt at Sarah’s Place by @zachbryan1067 (featuring @NoahKahan). Happy new year one and all - I hope 2024 is good to you ❤️ Starting the new year with a favourite from last year. Any Qs/comments, fire away!
Beach Baby - Bon Iver (Acoustic Cover)
Просмотров 3259 месяцев назад
An honest attempt at Beach Baby by Bon Iver. It’s another Bon Iver cover, for which I will not apologise - I don’t know how many I’m up to now but I do know it’s too many. I’m actually coming off the back of another bout of COVID, so please forgive any failings in the vocals. As ever, any Qs etc., comment away.
All I Want - Kodaline (Cover)
Просмотров 21210 месяцев назад
An honest attempt at All I Want by @Kodalinemusic, coming to you from beautiful Melbourne! I’ve made the move from Scotland to Australia and am finally set up to start doing these covers again - apologies for the silence in the meantime but there was a lot happening! This song was actually suggested by @mawa8597 at a time when I was looking at doing another Kodaline song, Way Back When, so it f...
Summer - Lewis McLaughlin (Acoustic Cover)
Просмотров 496Год назад
An honest attempt at Summer by @lewismclaughlinmusic This is a lovely song which allows me to sing without having to put on any accent, and it’s fitting to do it now after we had our week of summer here in Glasgow at the start of the month. I’m actually disappearing to the other side of the world (Australia) in roughly a couple of months, so I’ll try and get another out before I go but there’l...
Cello Song - Nick Drake (Cover)
Просмотров 311Год назад
An honest attempt at Cello Song by Nick Drake. Nick Drake is someone my dad really likes and has gotten me into as a result, so he’s to thank for this. If you’re a fan of his (Nick Drake, not my dad), there’s a good chance I’ll do another of his in future. You might have noticed this looks and sounds slightly different, and that’s because I didn’t realise how poor quality the sound on my last c...
Bob - The Dodos
Просмотров 268Год назад
An honest attempt at Bob by the Dodos. Another of my favourite types of cover - covers of songs I adore but don’t get many views because the song itself isn’t particularly big. With these types of covers, it’s always nice to see who else appreciates the music I do beyond the more famous stuff. This is a bit of a weird one on the guitar, simpler in some ways but more awkward in others. The stuff...
Home - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros (Acoustic Cover)
Просмотров 240Год назад
An honest attempt at Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Hello again. First off, I’m sorry for the 4-month hiatus - I’ve had a million things happen since the end of November and this channel has unfortunately taken a backseat because of that. My videos were always once every two weeks to once a month anyway so it’s not as if I was ever regular, but this has been a very long break, and ...
Repeat Until Death - Novo Amor (Cover)
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
An honest attempt at Repeat Until Death by Novo Amor. This is an easy one on the guitar: Capo 1 C G Am F I’ve played about with the hammers and stuff but if you’re a complete beginner you can still do this song justice just playing those chords. It’s a lovely song and you don’t have to go high vocally, so definitely worth having in the repertoire! Leave a comment if you have any Qs
Holy - Frightened Rabbit (Acoustic Cover)
Просмотров 324Год назад
An honest attempt at Holy by Frightened Rabbit. Apologies for yet another leave of absence. I have been struggling with my throat again - I’ve been having trouble since I caught COVID in February and there are weeks at a time where I just can’t sing at all. It’s a shame for the sake of this channel but not much I can do. Since my last song, the channel has had a bit of an uptake in views, mainl...

This was so good! Damn
Thank you!
big ups my man
Can you please do a tutorial on that? I can’t find a way to play it anywhere
I’ll quickly remind myself of what I’m playing and post something in the next week or so!
tutorial now up: ruclips.net/video/2Eefa822N5Y/видео.htmlsi=guozw6eK61ihZHrd
Where did you find the tab for this?
These are some good tabs which are very similar to what I was playing: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/the-dodos/bob-tabs-902424 Only difference is these didn’t quite have the hammers on the bridge right (lifting off the first fret on high E on the G7 chord and including third fret on the high E and third fret on the B in the C chord). I’d use those tabs as the basis and then to get the bridge I’d try and follow the cover at half speed. Hopefully that clarifies but let me know if not!
Hello! A couple of you have asked so in the end I have made a tutorial: ruclips.net/video/aL1FohSUnxk/видео.htmlsi=sDaDYPC89UgrO7fb If anything’s still not clear ask away!
Woww your cover is incredible, can't believe it's not more popular
Thank you, I appreciate it! 🙏
Man that's amazing, can you please make a video tutorial?
I’ve never done one, but you’re not the first person so I’m going to upload something shortly!
ruclips.net/video/aL1FohSUnxk/видео.htmlsi=sDaDYPC89UgrO7fb
great
Que bonito suena, ojalá pueda tocarla así ❤
gracias, eso es muy lindo ❤️
Please do a tutorial man, this is the most accurate guitar for a cover I’ve heard.
Apologies for the delay mate, had to get the guitar out and remind myself what I played! I’ve never done tutorials but I can do my best to explain what I’ve done. Worth pointing out I’m not actually playing it correctly either - I just listened to the song and found something close enough that works for me! These are the chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/zach-bryan/sarahs-place-chords-4962736 And then for the intro I’m just doing the following: G - 6th and 3rd together - 2nd - 3rd C - 5th and 3rd together - 2nd Straight into another G, repeat the pattern then play another G (6 and 3 - 2 - 3) then play: D - 4th and 3rd together - 2nd C - 5th and 3rd together - 2nd G - 6th and 3rd together - 2nd - 3rd (then a wee strum) First verse is the same but let the final G ring on each line and obviously on the final line of the first verse you start strumming. Hope that helps!
Fantastic!
Thank you! 🙏
Great version mate!
Thank you mate!
It’s my favorite 😌
Wow!!! I’m Japanese 😃 You are amazing 😳👍💕💕💕
Thank you so much! And hello from Scotland/Australia 🏴🇦🇺
A M A Z I N G, Your voice really fits this song. Great as always i love seeing new videos you post🙃
Thank you so much, I always appreciate these comments! I’ve not been posting as much since I moved to Oz but I’ll try and get back to old ways soon!
So good, you have an warm voice
Thank you so much!
🔥
Can somebody that’s better than me put the lyrics here? If I’ve missed it already I’m sorry, that rendition was RAD!!!
To be fair I can remember not having a clue what the lyrics were at the time! These should the lyrics: Be my mind, don't like to think for myself All of the time, and Be my soul, look into these eyes Like no one before Be my light, sunrise laughing 'Cause we stayed up all night Be my map And we'll leave with all the treasure we can grab, oh Be my lake, summer sand And a strawberry milkshake Be my pride, stay under my skin Don't let me take what is not mine Be my house, strong and sturdy Far from town, oh Be my home Just think of all the places we'll go Be my blood, oh, I'd shoot the moon And it wouldn't be enough And be my books Head on your shoulders with damn good looks Be my hands And I'll paint your picture darling the best I can Be my heart, and I've got you in the end I wish I had you from the start
Love it much 🎉🎉🎉
So good 💯 I'm binge watching your videos haha. Please please pleaseeee make one of contrails by all the luck in the world
Thank you so much! I’ve got a list of potential covers coming up so I’ll add Contrails to it and see if I can get it to work!
Amazing man
Thanks man
chords pleasees
For the verses, I’m playing A7 C D G D in a loop (start second verse on the G) For the chorus it’s C D Em A7 C A7 Em/Em7 in a loop, final Em/Em7 is played up on the 7th fret as a barre chord. Timings are a bit funny but if you watch the vid and have those chords handy it’ll hopefully be clear!
this is such a beautiful song i’m sure it was so fun to learn ❤
Yeah 100% it’s such a fun song!
Been missing these. Good man Jimmy.
Wow - seeing this notification was an unexpected, but really nice surprise. Beautiful interpretation! Hope you got a good start in Australia - I always liked the idea of a new beginning and I hope that it's been a good one for you so far!
Thank you, both for the comments and this suggestion! If you’re able to, you should definitely broaden your horizons, but appreciate it’s not an option for everyone!
beautiful cover as usual
Thank you!
Sehr schön. Ich habe auch gerade angefangen zu üben! Ich bin noch weit entfernt von ihrer Qualität! Kaum zu glauben das ihr Video noch so wenige likes hat,
Vielen Dank, am Anfang ist es schwer, aber du wirst es schaffen!
i've never heard this song before. so glad i stumbled upon this video.
Thank you so much! The original and acoustic versions he’s done are both great!
My favorite one so far! Great cover, and excellent song choices. Keep it up!
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
Very beautiful rendition. Paul’s playing on this tune is superb!
Thank you! Pauls version is so nice, so simple but so intricate!
Really nice job! Trying to find tabs on this song, but no luck! So using your video to try and figure it out!
Thanks man! I found this on Ultimate Guitar: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/the-bones-of-j-r-jones/hearts-racing-tabs-1981965 To be honest, I can't remember if I used this as I learned it a while ago now, but I remember I used a few of his live performances to do the same as you're doing now!
Have fun in Australia! Ever thought of uploading Kodaline? I think All I Want would fit your voice so good.
Thank you very much! I actually had a look at that a while ago - will have to revisit!
Love it! Nice one my man
Thank you so much mate I appreciate it!
Can you quickly explain the strumming pattern?
I didn’t play with a specific strumming pattern - it’s more just playing to the rhythm of the song itself, but it sounds like for the most part I’m playing D-U-D, with the initial D-U being quick and there being an emphasis on the second Down Hope this helps!
Such a pretty cover!
Thank you so much!
dude well done, this is really good! What's that lick you're playing before the slippin in my faith part? I can't figure it out to save my life and it's so good lol
thank you very much! it won't be the clearest but hopefully this helps: Em (ring and pinky on 3rd frets of B and high E) D (into Dsus4) C G into G (F# bass) Em (the wee lick is just sliding from 3rd fret of the B to 5th and back down to 3rd, then open B, 2nd on the G, then open G) D (hammer pinky onto 4th fret of the G and off again, open G, 2nd fret on the D and open G again) (I've not actually done this very cleanly in the video) C D into D7 Appreciate that's not the easiest to follow but if you play the video at half-speed and follow that it should hopefully make more sense!
that was beautiful!! your voice is a purple sunset over a placid lake
What a lovely comment - thank you so much!
Amazing
Thank you!
Beautiful
i love it
where did you learn the guitar for this song?
Someone asked previously and I had a look on Google and RUclips and can't find my version anywhere, so I think I've taken tabs from somewhere and adapted them - it's been that long I can't remember! I've tried to tab them out below - if you play the video at half speed and follow that tab it should hopefully see you right! Worth noting it won't look right on a phone screen, so if you have a laptop or tablet it'll be easier to follow. Intro (x2) E|-----------------------------------------------------------------0-------------------0-----------0-------------------- B|--------1--------1----------------------------------------------------1------------------1-----------1----------------- G|----0--------0-----0-----0h2--0h2---0h2---0h2---------------------0-----------------------------0------0------0- D|-----------------------2------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A|--0-----------------------------------------3------2------0-------------------------------------------------3--------2----- E|-----------3----------------1------1--------------------------------------------3-----------1--------------------------- Verse E|----------------------------------------------------------------------- B|--------1----------------1------------------1------------------------ G|-----0-----0-------0--------0--------0--------0-------0--------0- D|---------------------------------------------------------------------- A|--0---------------------------------------------------3-------2----- E|-----------------3----------------1---------------------------------- End of verse transition into chorus (x2) e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|----0-------0----0----0----0----0----0----0---------| D|------0h2-----------------------------------| A|--0------------3----0---------0----3-----0-----------| E|---------------------------3-----------------------| Chorus 1 G C And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain G Am They won't stay, they won't stay C for too long now G Am This could be all that we know...

@@honestattemptsatgoodsongs aahhhh thank youuuuuu
That's really great.
Cheers!
🔥🔥🔥
I love
you have an amazing voice
I’ve seen you comment before Pooh Bear - thank you so much!
Sounds great, keep it up
Thank you!
Awesome. Did you ever work on your whistling or has it always come quite naturally?
Thank you! The whistling is just natural as I’ve been able to whistle since I was really young - suppose it’s the same as anything though where the more you do it the better you get
What's the strumming pattern?
Beautiful song! Please make a cover of " Syml-Girl"
Such a beautiful Honest Attempt! For real, I find this song incredibly hard to sing (for a baritone voice) let alone playing it on the guitar at the same time. Massive props to you!
Thank you so much! Tbh it’s the same as a lot of songs, you just need to play until the guitar is automatic and then you can sing over it from there!
