Post your covers! (2025)

Excellent work. You really nailed those walk ups.

I bought Green and Disintegration together, and those were the first 2 CDs that I bought when my parents brought home our first CD player.

That was awesome, Saroo! You looked very comfortable playing standing up. That was a lot of fun to listen to.

Yes, councidence that we both posted REM covers today. Now, if you start posting Neil Young and Mazzy Star covers, that is a different story! :rofl:

This song was my top song of 2024 last year according to Spotify. It’s accurate because it never left my rotation at all since I heard it the first time. I’m a big fan of the candid voice message in the middle of a song somewhere. The second verse was pretty darn hard and I’m pleasantly surprised with how well the tone came out and and how good the Dingwall sounds in a low tuning (Drop F but tbf I didn’t use the 5th string for this song) Now that I know it sounds good in a tuning so low this gives me some crazy ideas… :smirk:

Great job on this! I definitely wore this cassette out back in the day. And yeah, if there was struggle involved here it was not at all apparent!

You’re a natural with a pick, that was very good. :slight_smile:
I think the multiscale is very good for weird tunings, at least in my experience.

Thank you! It’s funny because the first time I saw a multiscale instrument, I thought it was an aesthetic thing and I wanted one because it looked neat I didn’t know it did anything other than look cool :upside_down_face:. But now I’m a big fan because of how well they sound without feeling like spaghetti noodles… and they still also just look neat lol

Thank you! I have a couple more I’d like to learn now that I’m in Drop F that would use the low B string still kinda nervous it won’t sound great but I think if I get a fret wrap it’ll balance out. Drop F is just a tad bit too low but I think I can make it work

All Apologies - Sinéad O’Connor bass improvisation.

Another of my stripped back, vocals and bass only submissions to this august thread. This time, I played two baselines, the first a basic chug, the second, focusing on the root, octave and fifth.

Many of you will know this Nirvana song, but may not know Sinéad O’Connor’s cover. The song focuses on Kurt Cobain’s struggle with fame, depression, addiction, and suicide, which eventually led to his tragic death in 1994. Reflecting on Sinéad O’Connor’s life and death, the song is achingly poignant.

I hope this is the right thread to post my very first mini lick cover :grinning: I find this piece really beautiful and wanted to share it with you. :blush: It’s called “Basis” by Simon King and it’s a Blues Rock mini lick.

This is really cool.

It could be awesome to add some big reverb or echo and a whisper track to her lyrics and add also more dramatic pause/space and a slower tempo.
