The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie - Colter Wall (Will Meng Cover)

Here’s my cover of The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie by Colter Wall. He’s one of the best country artists out there right now in my opinion. Hope y’all enjoy and check out more of Colter Wall’s music.

Jake Neuman Thank you!

[@thecharbros3405]

i dont think this song is only country, it seems to me like a mix of blues, folk, country, soft rock, and americana. thats what makes this song so good. thank you for this vid!

[@danielpurtell7897]

Wow man absolutely stellar

[@loganhuntervagle]

Very very VERY cool spin that I wasn’t expecting at all. I was ready for the super deep voice that comes with a half step down on that song, you nailed it!

Sorry for the late response. No particular tutorial, I just got a rough idea of the chords and fiddled around in different keys and picking patterns before coming up with my rendition here. Glad you like it!

I feel like this guy and colter wall switched voices long ago.

[@jaredalexander6600]

Good job! Only thing I'll say as a constructive criticism. Use a B7 instead of a regular B bar chord. It adds that feel to the turn around.

[@willmeng4251]

Agreed, I’ve changed the way I play it since making this video and use the B7 instead now

What tuning is this

[@willmeng4251]

If I remember correctly it’s tuned a full step down

[@jesseadkins7646]

It’s sounds really good just tuned down a whole step but how colter plays it it’s a whole step down with the capo on he 4th threat or you can play it in standard with the capo on the 2nd

[@yisuscraist9440]

I need The chords pleaseeeeee :((((

[@willmeng4251]

Verses are Em, C, Em, C, Em, C, Am then the little turnaround before the chorus is Em, Am, Em, B (I played B here but B7 works better), Em. Chorus is Am and Em back and forth and then B7 on the “howling” part then back to Em Guitar tuned a full step down, hope this helps!

@@willmeng4251 Thank you so muchhh, you are amazing! :)

[@thecharbros3405]

man tuning down a whole step must be a pain

[@thecharbros3405]

oh wait nevermind, i think you just put a capo on the second fret

[@willmeng4251]

I keep that guitar tuned down a whole step at all times, it adds to the number of songs I’m able to play and yes if I want to play in standard I can just put a capo on 2! All my other guitars I keep in standard tuning though, just gives me options

[@alex_fgc1562]

Your guitar is tuned too high but otherwise pretty good

[@unscripted483]

oh this isn't a valid cover, you aren't playing finger style and you voice needs to be 6 octaves deeper.... lol I'm just playing, this was a pretty good cover.

[@alex-em1-blue]

I read some of the comments and you have great support.. but I would in my opinion stay away from songs like this.. sang originally with a deep soulful voice.. maybe if you rearranged the whole tempo of the song to make it your own, you'd be praised for that.. but you just made a less impressive cover of the original in my opinion.. it's like if a female with a basic voice would cover sia's - alive and just copied her arrangement.. and don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with covering this song just make it somewhat your own.. since you do not have an amazing raspy voice you need more dynamics in your voice.. you have a great voice but you need to stay in your lane.

[@alex-em1-blue]

I hope you take this as constructive criticism and not as a hate comment :)
