RHCP - Under The Bridge [acoustic cover ft. Mary Spender]

[@MarySpender]

Thank you so much for having me Paul and Silvan! What a great hang after too many years apart

[@Canalguitarclub]

Uaaalll Mary !!! Awesome!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎯

[@mayank54753]

The singing was amazing!

[@gastonangelini8352]

Loved your vocals!

[@donkick2622]

Lovely Vocals which were up to your usual high standards!

[@Russell_Optics]

Excellent vocals !! Paul & Silvan did a great job backing you up as well.

[@TheMediaMedic]

How this has so few views I'll never understand. I return to this regularly. That "drop" crescendo or whatever after the capo change. The solo from Paul. The harmonies. The audio fidelity from that 1 receiver. Absolutely incredible. I listen to this on the hifi and the detail and accuracy of your playing, singing and recording is genuinely unbelievable. Absolutely nailed it.

[@chrisdom7731]

Wow, that capo change by the singer mid-song, I have never seen such an interaction in a performance. The singing and the playing, splendid =D beautiful location as well

[@cooporlando]

I think that capo change means they’re married now.

[@korkenknopfus]

@@cooporlando absolutely, for sure! I allow only my wife to change my capo position.

[@jfar3340]

Story has it that it completely ruined the back of the guitar neck :(

[@SpecialReserve]

Surprisingly no retuning needed.

[@thigo94]

THAT WAS SMOOTH

[@Oolong-Dong]

I have never heard a woman sing a note like Mary did at 3:23. It blew my mind. The whole performance of the trio was so great. Thank you!

[@luitmeinen1902]

This is why I'm so glad KZbin exists. An absolutely extraordinary arrangement. Bravo

[@gaz0463]

Mary’s voice, especially her vibrato, is hypnotic and addictive. Loved the whole arrangement.

[@okirorshalom-x9t]

Mary's voice perfectly rough, aww goosebumbs literally. and the harmony phewww

[@DavesCoverSongs]

One mic, three artists and no overdubs. My favorite kind of cover. Simply beautiful!

[@Bettys_Eldest]

I think that the recorder has more than one mic, I'm sure that I can hear it in stereo. But I know what you mean. No hiding place, just a lot of talent.

[@TheThreshershark]

It is a Zoom H6 with stereo x mics on my opinion.

[@DavesCoverSongs]

@@TheThreshershark I think you’re right. I have an H6 and the sound it captures with that XY mic is unbelievable

[@peterburns213]

I have never seen a Capo change mid-song - enabling to build up to that epic ending. Love Mary’s voice, what a range - Fabulous Stuff Coming back to this after 4 months and I am ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDED how this does not have multi million views - What is wrong with you people ?? 😂🤣😉😜

[@Linnerd]

I’ve seen Sungha Jung do it too while playing.

[@allenbell1427]

Josh turner guitars cover of harmony hall does it several times

[@TheThreshershark]

The capo change has been done during Paul performing barree fingerings and was hidden therefore . He was actually using it some bars later.

[@MultiAxisDiscipline]

Neil Diamond playing Crackling Rosie was the first time I saw a capo move during a song.

[@MichaelRuhe1706]

So check out this, as Kent is moving his capo at 2:46: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3KYqH6Hlq-Yq6M

[@shaunk413]

Fantastic song, arrangement. And a masterclass on capo slides.

[@rayrecca]

I wish this was on Spotify, would listen 24/7

[@jamesvancam]

Good job, the 2 guitars make it so much fuller sounding.

[@dadbuk3796]

Beautiful

[@jaapkievit5843]

Lush?😊

[@leapy99]

Sounds great in stereo too!

[@MrDrewseph]

One mic, good distance from everyone, no autotune, no close mics - this is the yay Very happy to hear Mary giving it some real beans too

[@edwardjons8684]

Wow. That was so much better than I’d expected. Great guitar arrangement, the escalating intensity and timbre Mary’s of voice, and the lovely little prepared performance moment where Mary moves the capo to help Paul into the key change. Impressed. More please!

[@arminius504]

Not a Fan of That Flag. Murderers.

[@marchermann8394]

I agree. What if the capo change weren't prepared?

[@LouieTM]

RHCP didn't play Under The Bridge last Friday in The Netherlands, so Paul played it in Los Angeles instead. PS: awesome cover, guys!

[@DavidSmith-nk2rc]

Hello Louise. How are you doing?

[@soondubu.]

Lol they didnt play it in SF either :( I mean i guess that would be awkward since its all about LA

[@bambitheboy]

Wow Paul, this is awesome! Marys voice is just beautiful!

[@isawariley1]

That capo shift was amazing! made my brain hurt just thinking about trying that. Great job, all of you.

[@scottsimontacchi8815]

yeah what was that

[@TheAkdzyn]

Mary's voice is so unique and has grown so much. This arrangement was awesome and I like the minimalism of the setup.

[@Medge2sc]

It’s Paul David’s, the guy who got me to pick my guitar back up during lockdown and got me through it all… thanks for this video and the motivation you didn’t know you gave

[@DudeRobot]

Tha capo slide was so awesome! Mary’s voice was too perfect for this performance 🔥 incredible work guys!

[@alexandrucaraus233]

capo slide was wtf...

[@NateNavarro]

You guys this is so good!!!

[@Harry-xs1dd]

Hey I like ur videos

[@TanguyBlanchard]

Mary's lows are magnificent

[@keithferris9574]

Her low register is really something.

[@randidil1981]

Honestly Paul - this is absolutely off the charts. Incredible cover! The capo change and solo 🔥🎸🎸 Great voice Mary and lovely harmonics Silvan

[@JackyJames1]

She made it her way and never missed a note :) Very hard to cover the peppers!! Awesome work :)

[@nickbutler9943]

Great Cover. You all sounded so good, but after the capo slide when Mary really opened up was chilling - in the best way

[@DavidSmith-nk2rc]

I love this song, it was one of my best. How is life treating you?

[@matmore10]

Everything about this cover was magical. Never new this song could be played so nicely with two acoustics. Thank you for making my Monday morning!

[@jonathonmain9157]

What a sweet move, having Mary move Paul’s capo & not missing a beat in the song! BRAVO TO ALL!

[@zero435]

its nice to see paul davids making a rhcp cover after rhcp releases the new album and starts world tour

[@HasanKhanDMD]

I have been listening to dozens covers of this song for over 15 years and this is my absolute favorite

[@sroycze9284]

Just starting the video!Been waiting for this for so long!!!! Edit:Just finished listening to the song!That solo by paul waa just so great and organic there! And mary's notes are just mindblowing!Like those low notes are just so full like a guy and those high notes were so clear and strong,what a great range!

[@nickweaver3343]

Mary and those two Eastmans were just absolutely singing! Loved it.

[@alexhristache]

I love the sneaky capo change. Great cover!

[@robm.4512]

Yeah, me too. I saw Mary reach down for the neck and thought “wait…wha…aah, nice move”. Great to hear on acoustic, sweet!

[@dpaikkos]

That capo change was slick. I thought she was stroking the neck. Was it from the 7th to the 4th?

[@123chiles]

As a life-long RHCP fan and Frusciante nut, this was so amazing. I am preparing my whole body and mind for the fact that I am going to see RHCP tomorrow live!!!. This is the exact way covers should be done. And Mary is a freaking MONSTER singer, especially the bridge(no pun intended), and the last chorus was so powerful. Keep on rocking guys.

[@bartlaan1996]

That was one hell of a trip, love the resonant quality of Mary's voice at the start but was blown away near the end when she went all out. Also great guitar arrangements! Brilliant

[@alexvandyke9048]

I love how casual they are with a song about shooting dope

[@JoshuamLingner]

YES!!! I’ve searched everywhere to see some videos of Paul playing with a band or other folks and they’re hard to come by. I love this and can’t wait to see more. Don’t get me wrong I love the teaching stuff. I have bought one course and it’s great.

[@andrewthompson9302]

Really enjoed this, Mary's vocals lift my soul, what a talent she is !!

[@fuzzybunny4muny]

I too wish there was a way to just put the music and words out, and have someone like this sing them, I'm missing an entire instrument to my music without the right singer.

Great especially on a whim notice. Good move on the capo too. Crank it up, sounds so great. The Snake Charmers. Hung with the RHCP's years back.

[@mattjackson7445]

This worked on a level I didn't expect when I clicked on the video. So much greater than the sum of its parts, I actually got goose-bumps. The connection to the original song and lyrics was so strong and the arrangement and performance created a very different pathway to the same core emotion of the original.

[@pierrem4198]

Best cover ever ! I hope rhcp see that. the change of capo, it's magnificent. Beautiful voice. I love

Now that was something! My two most favorite guitar youtubers in a single video... sort of dream come true... The arrangement, two guitars, both of you played awesome, the singing was so mighty... I especially loved the moment when Mary moved Paul's capo down the fretboard... can't explain it, but it felt so natural and relaxed... as if you were doing that for ages now. Thank all three of you for a great experience!

[@MashaT22]

That capo move was slick and smooth! I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anyone do that in the middle of a live performance! Also, love the backup singers, lol. Very beautiful acoustic cover with the sounds and sights of nature surrounding you.

This is a gnarly acoustic cover. Mary’s voice is beautiful. Your solo was killer bro. Keep it up. I wanna see you guys do some more work together.

[@MrAffenklotz]

sometimes I have those moment with music where i kinda freeze, my breathing gets kind of weird and i just stare into the abyss because the sound, the art itself stuns me so much and everything gets irrelevant except my emotions hearing what I hear. I am thankful every day for being able to have those kind of moments and just a few seconds ago i had one watching this video. So thank you! Music really is the closest thing to magic there is

[@jeremymanson1781]

I imagine Paul Davids is pretty nifty at using production techniques to take out extraneous noise etc etc

[@spacebunsarah]

They probably recorded each part separately and then did a take with the mic you see on the screen and mixed them. I don’t think it is just one recording.

[@kyle8575]

​@@spacebunsarah Personally I don't think so. Nothing here sounds overdubbed to me.

@@spacebunsarah the mics on that portable zoom are fantastic. They have included effects such as noise suppressors. And also they have some of the best preamps for the price. It’s totally doable that they did it all with a single take with those mics
