Sad Machine (Porter Robinson) JAZZ Guitar+Vocal Cover

I'm a huge fan of Porter Robinson (he's my favorite electronic producer), and I'd been thinking for a while it'd be cool to do a guitar based cover of one of his songs! I got a request from a friend to do Sad Machine, and I decided to do it in a jazz style instead of my usual metal style to match the smooth feel of the original! I'm not super familiar with how to arrange for jazz, so this was fairly difficult to do, but I'm really happy with the results musically (that solo was crazy fun to write, I don't get to play blues-y jazz stuff much). This song also really relies on the vocal for its unique vibe, so I had my very talented friends Calum and Veronica perform the vocals, which they did an amazing job with! I hope you enjoy my first attempt at jazz stuff, and make sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more covers (although mainly in the rock/metal style I've done before) of VGM and anime songs!

[@davidguthriemusic]

thank you dude!

[@MikhaelAhava]

Wow! I kinda like this more than the original ngl, no offense to Mr Porter Robinson. I do like Jazz more than electronic stuff’s. It’s just calmer and more refined in my opinion. I also like that electric guitar. Well done y’all, I’ll keep listening.
