Moonlight On Vermont. Captain Beefheart Guitar Cover

[@CaptainBeefheart90]

people who know beefheart on guitar, walk among us. they wield a power that is beyond this realm.

Then try singing along

[@n.rogers2273]

Is it weird I'm more impressed that you absolutely nailed the guitar tone from the album more so than actually learning to play the part?

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

God that slide sound is nice, so intense, never thought slide could be that intense until I heard Beefheart and want to learn like that so watching this is good. : -) By the way no he plays the part fine to me and is smooth. ,:] 0

[@thesound4997]

Was thinking the same exact thing

[@Vasconezona]

It was simple. He got Frank Zappa to come back from the dead to mic his amp and crank every knob to 11.

[@jfrenchmusic]

Very close! There are a couple notes you are fingering that I believe were slide notes and the little part before the break is not slidden but picked. Other than that, spot on, and with a good manicure to boot.

[@augmn1058]

Well thank you John! I'll be practicing that!

[@OliveAmanita2682]

@@augmn1058 the original band used steel picks to add an extra roughness too! Could look into that if you do another excellent cover!

[@yo49315]

I just want to say to say that although I know that working on the album (and other projects) was difficult, the people who appreciate it love it like nothing else. I love TMR and always will and nothing can be compared to it. It is something people will always remember.

[@13AustinPrince]

Holy shit it's the man himself 😮

[@klausrain111]

Less than 1% of the world population has even heard of the Captain. In a hundred years (maybe more, maybe less) he will be recognized as the towering genius that he is, what with his painting, his music, his singing, his poetry, his very person. He's one of the most extraordinary artists of the 20th century.

[@goodpeopleoftheworldunite]

Maybe even now. Is good.

[@jeanmarielebloas374]

J adoooore le captain, sa liberté absolue et son côté sale môme, qui fait ce qui lui plaît quand ça lui plaît, qui fit de lui ce qu'il fut, sa poésie brute, son coffre, sa folie monumentale, ses collaborations avec zappa, génie incomparable à la guitare, avec Gary Lucas, non moins génial, si peut-être un peu, bref on s'en carre le cul, mais si 1% des gens connaissent le beef, c'est très sur évalué, y en a beaucoup beaucoup moins.. n'empêche, son emprunte se distingue chez tant d iconoclastes et autres olibrius du rock, qu'il est incontournable, de PJ Harvey à Jack white, en passant par tout le spectre de la dinguerie musicale, que ce sera toujours, à mon avis, un artiste confidentiel, je veux dire par là qu'il sera longtemps vénéré, très connu, mais de peu de gens.. à moins que le q.i moyen ne grimpe en flèche, ce qui semble ne pas se profiler du tout, étant même carrément l'inverse..trout Mask replica, faites le écouter à 10000 personnes, 9990 vont subir une torture ineffable, et vous en voudront à vie, pour avoir profaner leurs délicates oreilles programmées FM !!!! Respect éternel aux rares cinéastes -les frères Cohen entre autres- qui eurent les burnes d illustrer certaines de leurs scènes avec sa musique, je pense à her êtes are a blue million miles dans Big lebowski, et aux musiciens livres qui reprirent ses chansons, jack white ayant particulièrement réussi, et de toute la pop culture, ils ne sont pas légion à l'avoir fait ! Je m'étale, pardonnez ma volubilité, et juste un p'tit mot pour conclure, il a fait de belles bouses, de colossales merdasses, mais jamais mon amour pour lui n'en a pâti, beefheart for ever. Moonlight on Vermont, en attendant les Big eyed beans from venus!!!

[@FreneticZetetic]

This is exceptional playing of an already challenging track. You nailed it dude! I lost my head and ran off with alligators after listening to this. Goes to show you what a moon can do!

Utterly brilliant. Zoot Horn Rollo would be proud.

[@spookerz35]

No kidding - perfect tone as well!

Someone buy that man a cherry phosphate.

[@Marco_Venieri]

[@klausrain111]

GREAT JOB playing this, one of my favorite Trout Mask songs. Interestingly, it's probably the most conventional straight ahead rocker on the entire album. Even so, it's miles ahead of and apart from anything else going on in the late sixties.

[@Turfdeanthantrax]

Fuckin brilliant man. This is wildly impressive. Thank you a million times over. Good to see people that haven't gone high society yet.

[@trevorbarre5616]

This gives me more idea as to how this track was created than any musicologist can provide. As a non-musician, thanks.

[@GoemonLovesFujiko]

wow.. I never thought I would actually see someone attempt something by beef heart. I mean I steal licks here and there but .. you're dead on man.. Great work!

[@thom6746]

Great! I heard the band play this live and it sounded just like this! I'm so happy I saw this group live. They were incredible. Played many songs from Trout and Decals note perfectly.

[@TorJuice]

Huge kudos and many thanks! I'm surprised that I've heard people cover other songs from Trout Mask Replica but never this one - it's one of the "grooviest" after all. The cap'n's voice can certainly cover up some of these intricacies of the instruments - extremely expressive just by themselves.

[@johnnyrevers7672]

That was just f****** beautiful I love it great job you're my new hero bro

[@DoodleOfMonk]

Yeah, that's how we played it. Great job.

[@deVon30241]

Duuude your tone is perfect! this is fabulous, thank you for this.

[@tij6032]

Come out to show them. And you did. Perfect again. So, so impressive.

[@steveflynn8311]

Not random discord at all.. to think that every note was worked out and planned and practiced just like that...mind bogglingly good job.

[@amateurs7814]

This is great, I've learnt to play it from just watching your vid, like others have said the sound on the guitar is perfect too, nice one. Do some more beefheart covers?? The whole of trout mask replica start to finish 😃

[@Wixpc0570]

In my trout top five! Classic. Great playing.

[@remingtongagnard4442]

Great song, great cover!

[@raindogred]

had to figure out the tuning, then where to put the capo..then learn by yourself..note for note!! best cover on youtube

[@benjohn2860]

All I wanted to know was what tuning it was in ! And there it was in the description ❤ good man and good job 👏 what a crazy guitar part

[@metabullshit7217]

As everyone else has said, great stuff. It's hard to find people playing this kind of music on KZbin. If you're taking suggestions, I'd like to hear some Can, which I'm reminded of from your name.

do a cover of Frownland! :D

[@8888jaws]

Well done. Do you use the slide on your middle finger to to make the fingering bits easier or is that your go to slide placement? I'm still partial to the pinky for that reason but I've been dabbling in the korn ring finger for additional vibrato control.

[@crescentfreshbret]

Does anyone know who played this guitar part on the original? Was it Antenna Jimmy Semens or Zoot Horn Rollo?

[@robertozoffoli9880]

Great job! the soundis great too. How did yo manage to play with the capo so high? Heavy strings? high action or both?

[@augmn1058]

+Roberto Zoffoli Thanks! It was a little tricky since my Fender has low action so it was just a matter of playing lightly with the fretting hand.

[@ashdosen]

amazing!!

[@scottconnors8419]

nice, so do you tune the guitar to the aforementioned tuning then put capo on 8-9th fret?wanna learn n teach someone thnx,good lesson..if I can understand the tuning

[@roycraig3236]

Hey my hats off to You BUT the beautiful dissonant chord right after every bodies gone ----??---high society That's not the chord unless It was a couple guitars and you are doing one of the chords or the bass lower in the mix is making the sound incomplete Let me know because I revere everything beefheart saw him 4 times talked to him twice gave him my phone # to have a chance to be his next guitarist ITHINK U ARE AWESOME LIVE YOUR TREMOLUX EVEN SO no criticism intended at all
