Dispatch Cover "Two Coins"

Post by horsmar15 »

A while back I posted a cover of "The General" that got some good responses, so I decided to learn another Dispatch song. This time it's "Two Coins". I really like this song and I think it fit my voice well. Give it a listen and tell me what ya think. Thanks!

Yo man that was great! I got caught up on some of your tunes while I was at it, and I think my favorite is "Carolina on My Mind". Good stuff man!

Loved it... really enjoyed it. What guitar are you using? Rhythm was great and this song really brings out the best in your voice. Your voice gets better with each passing second on this particular recording. I think one of the highlights of your voice is the ability to change notes abruptly. Example: 0:53 "sma-a-all" - that really adds a lot. Very original voice, doesn't really sound like anyone. A little bit of Jason Mraz and a little bit of Steve Miller here and there but for the vast majority you've got something all your own.

Bitchings: Song clips at 1:29, made my ears ring. No big deal, though. :D The vocal note at 1:17 doesn't seem too pleasant although it's not far off at all. Lastly, maybe just a little bit too much reverb.

Keep playing, man, keep playing.

Wow thanks for all the positive responses so far!

To answer some questions/respond:

CWMCALL: I used a tab from mxtabs.com. The solo part was just something I made up.

Matty: Thanks alot for that comment, made my day :D

Greedy: I use a Martin D-15, in my opinion it's a great guitar. Also, thanks for the detailed feedback. That note at 1:17 is actually falsetto on the original, but I didn't want to go falsetto so it does sound a bit wierd. Also, my equipment sucks so that clip at 1:29 was due to the crappy dell mic.

Great job...You have a great voice. I wish I had something to critique, but I've got nothing to add.

Keep it up.
