Summer Rain | Jacob Collier Cover

My cover of Summer Rain, by ‪@jacobcollier‬ feat. ‪@MadisonCunningham‬ and ‪@ChrisThile‬. This song instantly captivated me from the moment I first heard it. It's featured on Jacob's newest album, Djesse Vol. 4.

Great Job, Stephen! What tune did you use for guitars??

[@stephenartner]

Thanks! The main guitar (the yellow one) was tuned DAEGAD. This mimics Jacob's five-string guitar setup which is tuned DAEAD. The second guitar (the smaller mahogany one) has Nashville strings on. That's basically normal tuning but the bottom four strings are up one octave. That allowed me to play some of the higher notes that Chris Thile played on the mandolin.

​@@stephenartnerBeautiful cover! Did you follow a tutorial for the second guitar/mandolin part?

[@stephenartner]

@@laurenkung7925 Thank you! Actually no, I pieced it together on my own. It was quite a challenge to do-the part was compiled from the studio recording, the live recording, and a snippet on JC's instagram of Chris Thile playing the mandolin part.
