Why did you have to go and say that, I can't listen to his song without laughing now. LOL

Anyways, I liked the guitar tone and I'm sure your voice will sound better as you mature.

Hehe, i'm 21 but my voice was late in going so it's still a little childlike. I'm glad you liked it though :D

you still need to perfect the guitar a little bit. i know from experience that this song is really hard. but it doesn't sound as natural as it could. so i would work on that a little. loosen up your hand, so you can go straight from that light chord strum into the picking.

same thing for the higher notes, it doesn't flow as much as it should. when you listen to chris martin do it, you know what i'm tlaking about.

but youre voice was good! especially that "ah ooooooooh" sounded great! :) nice cover, love this song.

o yea, and you gotta improvise a little more on the picking part. add notes in from the chord you're shaping. don't just follow a tab. that's what it kinda sounded like.

Thanks for that Mikey. I gave it another listen and you can tell i just played it note for note off the tab.

i've done this song before, and its tricky to play, i think you were hitting one of the D strings in that tuning too much, just keep working on it
