​@@matsiee ok, so can you play it 6 months later? 💀

[@toybonniesfm]

It’s a classical but the neck hits the body at the 14th fret. This is heresy. Jkjk, nice cover!

Are your fingers okay?

[@jamesmcguigan1]

Yes😫

[@REALFOXYXD]

How do you get that sound from the guitar

[@mr.sassycat1522]

I started learning this around 2 hours ago, and my goodness has the first few seconds been weird to learn. I've been referencing your video the most because, even though its not the 'right' tuning, this also sounds the most accurate when going back and forth between this and the original song.

[@jamesmcguigan1]

Yeah I mean for the most part I think I play it similar enough to the original just pitched up a half step lol

[@Flqmmable]

I find the start of the intro sooo hard to get up to the right speed with a pick and hybrid picking.. Any tips? Might just have to do it completely fingerstyle.

[@jamesmcguigan1]

I think you just have to kinda keep at it it takes a while lol

[@Shlak-5sj5]

Bruh, let me breathe before you doing those covers

[@jamesmcguigan1]

No😫

[@lexal14]

Really cool .Tabs?

[@Slover-sx1ni]

Sounds like it's pitched down or up. What tuning is it? Sounds calmer than the original one.

[@jamesmcguigan1]

How did you do the high part? Im in the middle of learning this and just realized I don't have enough frets on my classical lol

I’ve an electric classical so I think it’s just made to be easier to reach the high frets lol
