Buddy Holly - Weezer (Hello Ground Cover)

I did all of the video and audio work myself. More coming soon! Add me on facebook and twitter and instagram and all of that junk!

[@ffieditor]

He play the guitar just the way Buddy did. All on strong down stokes.

[@HelloGround]

I can’t remember if I played all downstrokes on this. I tried to emulate the record as best as I could

[@ffieditor]

@@HelloGround have you every watched buddy play? there this 10 part about buddy and it there where they said how he played.

[@saultfry501]

Actually the entire Blue Album is all downstrokes, so that's why he's playing like that, but I think Buddy did that too. Edit: The Blue Album is *mostly* downstrokes.

[@Sticknub]

You do realize Buddy Holly didn't actually play this song right he died almost 50 years before it came out 💀

[@ataikonotatsujinplayer2610]

Ya mean rivers

[@WaffleDaBomb]

bro is forever in 2x speed

[@HelloGround]

Some say he is - they would be correct

[@collectivesplonk]

The riff straight up gave me goosebumps when I heard it. Probably the best cover out there.

[@HelloGround]

That's great to hear! Thanks!

[@TheMilwaukeeProtocol]

Yeah the guitars sound supreme.

[@derekfrazier389]

Holy snap! You even got the right note on the bass in the chorus! Going to the F when the guitars hit the C sharp. You’re the only one who gets this right. Kudos to an awesome cover

[@HelloGround]

Thank you for the kind words! Yea, I thought it was a little funny when I heard that bass note but I went with it! I tried to make it accurate to the original!

[@HelloGround]

@reconz 82299 yea, I hear ya. It works, that’s for sure

[@yonan3232]

Literally never noticed it until I saw a couple of it's bass tutorial on KZbin!

[@ISCREAM.STORE1]

The vocal harmony on the first "I dont care about that" comes out of nowhere and hits you in right in the balls, liked and subscribed! Superb cover!

[@HelloGround]

Thanks a lot! I can't remember if that was in the original or not

[@ISCREAM.STORE1]

@@HelloGround they probably had some backing on that, but your mix has a harder hitting effect on the higher octave making it quite punchy by comparison. Very glad to find your channel, thanks for the reply x

[@HelloGround]

@@ISCREAM.STORE1 Interesting. I'll have to compare them! Thanks again!

[@ISCREAM.STORE1]

@@HelloGround don't get me wrong, I love your vocals as they are

[@Sirensofgrimescounty]

FINALLY someone reaches the high note at the riff

[@Jsslade]

After this cover constantly haunted my recommendations for the past 6 months I finally clicked it

[@HelloGround]

I’m starting to appreciate that KZbin algorithm

[@chriscallaway5521]

Nice love it

[@reezeebs]

Holy shit that's epic dude I love this cover

[@HelloGround]

Thank you so much!!

[@user-ni3mk1bo2j]

[@shmuelyitzytendler1229]

This is great!

[@nanashinogombei5737]

Awesome cover! Love from Japan ☺️

[@HelloGround]

I wanna go there someday! Thank you!

[@LazyMe64]

Really amazing cover! This is really underrated

[@HelloGround]

Thank you!!

[@shoknifeman2mikado135]

There really IS a connection between the Crickets and Mary Tyler Moore, the theme song to her 70s TV show, was written by Sonny Curtis, who replaced Buddy Holly as lead guitar, for the Crickets.

[@aelxaelx]

First time ever that I hit repeat on a cover video. Great playing (nailed the solo and many little tricky parts), great singing, great mixing, funny video. You captured the spirit of the original, well done !

[@HelloGround]

Thank you so much! I tried to get it as close to the original as I could!

[@CandyHatsuneWolff]

Eargasmic. Instant sub.

[@HelloGround]

I appreciate that!

[@jacobsturgess]

Actually insane, great work man

[@HelloGround]

haha thank you! I was an insane amount of work

[@kyloten-raikerz6638]

How do you only have 27 subs? (I'm your 27th btw)

[@HelloGround]

Thanks so much! I figure that I will just keep releasing videos and eventually people might start coming around.

[@jbernal682]

Dudes! This was freaking incredible. What a great cover. Made me smile the whole time. This is one of my all-time favorite Weezer songs.

[@HelloGround]

Thank you!!

[@sillyfisheee1084]

I LOVE THISSSSSS

[@chonk7845]

Astounding how this doesn’t have the attention it deserves

[@TytonMusic]

This might be my favorite version of this song

[@HelloGround]

Heck yea, thanks

[@cmnog2167]

That's pretty cool 😎.

[@davemonsalve5264]

One of the best covers I've heard!!

[@sophiecloherty7707]

this is awesome

[@Ozma2]

I love that a load of the clips of you playing were filmed in half speed and sped back up to match the song, just like Undone video.

[@HelloGround]

I forget the details but I think most if not all of this were recorded in half speed. I forgot about the undone video! Love that

[@berthaday3473]

Just as excellent today

[@AM-tu1rc]

This is a very accurate and well-done cover. I'm really impressed, it's hard to replicate that unique style and cadence of Weezer and you nailed it.

[@bigorrakoa]

Great! Congratulations!

[@Jacksmusicshack]

I didn't know you were actually Rivers in disguise! Jokes aside lovely!!

[@irvjaff.30]

Best cover FOREVER!!! Completely beautiful! :') 💙💙💙

[@HelloGround]

Thank you!! More on the wayyyy

[@christopherackerman2191]

I was searching for covers of this song for reference because I was thinking about covering it myself....and came across your video. Dude, I’m blown away!! Awesome job! I’m hitting that subscribe button. 👍🏻🎸

[@HelloGround]

Thank you! I was going for accuracy and got some shit about it being too close to the original. So after this cover I redid Weezer's

[@t.schulzechester3849]
