Hey youtube,
This is my THIRD acoustic cover already. Once again, this is in the list of my favourite songs.
Sorry for my wierd accent sometimes and for the mistakes, I don't like to record the tracks thousands of times. It loses the feelling when repeated too many times...you know, the usual.
I got the idea from Oliver Watts' cover of this song.
Check his channel:
www.youtube.com...
For the recording part, I used:
-Acoustic guitar
-Electric bass guitar
-Steinberg audio interface
-Audio Technica condenser microphone
-Cubase
-Guitar Rig 5 (for the bass amp simulator)
No auto-tune or pitch shifters, just some reverb for the vocals. No keyboards, no MIDI or external audio files. It is all me, my guitar and my voice.
Hope you enjoy :)

[@mvvf]

When In Flames plays it's so hard to hear the lyrics, but I would want techno/piano/acoustic covers. Always loved the medolies but like softer sounds like from come clarity album since

[@HaSoAcoustic]

Standard tune: Verse: Em C Em C Chorus: Em C D Em C D Now someone has posted something, can't freking find chords anywhere. This is my best guess.

[@andreasvalken]

Check your email ;)

[@HaSoAcoustic]

Andreas Valken There aint no mail from you there. Where you from? Your name looks scandinavian to me. Sweden?

[@andreasvalken]

Håkon Søderholm Ahah no I'm portuguese. This is a fake name :)

[@andreasvalken]

Håkon Søderholm I can barely remember but I'm playing along here and this is what I belive I did back then Em ---> Am (with just the 2 same fingers you used in Em) C ---> move "C" chord two frets forward ---> Em Palm muted part is the same as the first sequence And I think that's it. sorry, I don't know all the chords. I'm self taugh and never cared for the theory too much Cheers!

[@ibrahimtatlses82]

[@zmbo8953]

[@simonhaderle9330]

Hi Andreas, can I have the chords to play along with you cool Version. :) Greetings from Germany

[@dawidslowiak2636]

Do Bullet Ride ;)

[@andreasvalken]

Nice one. Will definitly try that Thanks

[@alientengo]

This is better than the original!

[@andreasvalken]

Ahah thanks, but lets not exaggerate there friend :p Cheers

[@alientengo]

I never really liked the original, but your interpretation brought forth (at least for me) its real potential. The ability to capture that "essence" of the song and channel it into your own, unique version, is an amazing and rarely seen talent. And that, good sir, is no exaggeration at all ^^ Subscribed and waiting for further pieces :P

[@andreasvalken]

Christian Banks That's a great thing to read, friend :)

[@eviltoad746]

Andreas Valken my comment disappeared...idk what happened to it :(

[@andreasvalken]

Christian Banks Don't know either, friend. I definitly didn't delete it. All comments (positive or negative) are welcome.

[@fSateQ]

I ll trade my kidney for Clayman. Please. Please. Do it !

[@kocotinho]

Chords?

[@Saugilion]

Are there tabs for your cover? :)

[@arnolddugosz4173]

I like this more than original (not a fan of screaming and hart -to-understand vocals).

[@Alone1am]

andreas your fuxking making me comment on wvery video of yours. i have caught up with your music like i have fallen for a girl!

[@Lolsesbibi]

Chords ? ^^'

[@SlipknotFan1337]

Lolsesbibi Bm, Esus2 - VerseG, A, Bm , Bm - Bridge Bm, G, A - Chorus These are the chords I got after I transposed it. I believe he "Copied" Oliver Watts cover of Take this life so the original key should be in E minor

[@andreasvalken]

TJM I did mention that it is originally made by him and even got a link to his channel, so I believe I'm being fair here. I just recorded in a different way. If there's anything that says I legally and/or morally can't do so, I'll be glad to abide. Cheers p.s. thank you for helping them with the chords, I got by ear so I can't be sure anymore.

[@SlipknotFan1337]

Andreas Valken Never meant to be rude. But I believe Oliver Watts posted his chords somewhere and since your version is related to it, that he could check out the chords there.

[@andreasvalken]

TJM All good mate ;)

[@klejmen8514]

it's more of reinterpretation than a cover ,
