  • I recorded this sometime around late 2017 - early 2018. "Never Meant" is the first track found on American Football's self-titled debut released in 1999. Though the writing is minimalist in nature, it features delicately woven guitar lines and complex rhythmic ideas.
    Vocals: Brant Garratt

    Lyrics:
    Let's just forget
    Everything said
    Everything we did
    Best friends and better halves
    Goodbyes
    And the autumn night when we realized
    We were falling out of love
    (There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
    But we never did
    Not to be
    Overly dramatic
    I just think it's best
    'Cause you can't miss what you forget
    So let's just pretend
    Everything and
    Anything between you and me
    Was never meant

    Double threat on guitar, vocals was none the less on point, triple threat from the duo. Best version on the internet, all others are also best on the internet. Everyone who covers American Football has the passion to do it right, we know how much it takes to be a fan.

    One of the best covers ive ever seen. This inspired me to start playing! I got my first guitar yesterday and I can already play some power chords. How do you make your guitar sound like that? Like with pedals?

    • @rossau1781
      @rossau1781  4 года назад +52

      Thanks so much! A clean sounding amp is all you need and you can definitely play this without any effects. In my opinion, your sound sound is largely determined by how you play, not so much the gear. The best players in the world can make a $150 Squier sound amazing, so practice lots and you'll get results!

      Thanks for checking out my cover! Unfortunately, I only have a hard copy of their tab book and I don't think Kinsella and the gang would take too kindly if I were to redistribute it. There's some pretty accurate transcriptions that a quick Google search would yield though.
      Or if you want to transcribe it by ear, the tunings are: FACGCE for the center screen guitar and FCCACF for the other screens.
      Good luck!
