  • This is my entry for the #covernationcoldplaycontest !!
    I remember when I bought "Parachutes" as a kid. I was immediately taken by the songs, the songwriting, the melodies I became a fan very quickly. I saw Coldplay at the Palace of Auburn Hills when I was younger. I remember when they played "Yellow" they dropped a TON of huge yellow balloons from the ceiling. It was a moment I'll never forget. I love that they've stayed current and yet true to themselves. When I lived in NYC, I was waiting tables at a spot in Soho and I was lucky enough to wait on Johnny Buckland and his lady on three separate occasions. He was awesome, forever a fan of these guys. Thanks for the music.

    I LOVE this song, I hope you like it too. IF you wanna skip all the looping you can go straight to the top of the song at 2:10! (told you it was a long intro)! Hit subscribe! Thanks!

    Hi Luke, I love watching your loop covers. I am just wondering about you drum machine/keyboard - do you have everything connected into the loop directly or do you have to go through a computer. I have a Boss rc30 and just wondering if it is possible to link in keyboard like you without using a computer

    • @lukejamesshaffer

      Hey! I appreciate it! And I had the same thoughts for a long time! I found one way to do it ...it isn't perfect but it's what I did in this video. here is me explaining a little bit - ua-cam.com/video/ZpJMGOrV1AY/v-deo.html

    Once again, an awesome cover! The one you did of Coldplay and the Chainsmokers was good, but this one's better. What kind of sample pad did you use for the drum beat? I do a lot of live looping and feel like my beat-boxing may get too repetitive.

    • @lukejamesshaffer
      @lukejamesshaffer  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks Jamie! Yea, I like this one more too. I beatbox too sometimes and feel similarly so I totally get what you mean. I am using the ammoon MIDIPLUS mini Engine Pro External USB Sound Module MIDI connected to my midi keyboard and I just found one of the drum patches that I thought worked for the tune. Hope that helps! The midi engine isn't overly amazing but it does the job!

      @lukejamesshaffer  5 місяців тому

      Hey Rick! I used the ammoon MIDIPLUS mini Engine Pro so it's not connected through a computer at all. It's just using that Midi engine (essentially turning the midi keyboard into a ...normal keyboard? lol) This video is a little old though so there are probably better ones out there by now!

      @lukejamesshaffer  3 роки тому

      Hey Carolina! I use a USB cord straight from my looper and record with Logic. If you don't use a looper pedal you can get a USB mic or a audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett Solo is what I use). Hope this helps!

    Just know that in the original the guitar is tuned to either EADGBD# OR EABGBD, whichever one you prefer, but the second is the accurate

    Hey Luke, just wanted to say thanks for all your videos. It was actually your channel that inspired me to start looping with a friend of mine and now we have started our own youtube channel "The Pump Clips". Would be awesome if you checked us out but just wanted to say thanks for all the inspiration.

    what a nice cover ! I really loved the loop and the voices. But the drums disappointed me... I prefer when you do everything with the guitar and the sound of this VST is not so good... but the rest is awesome !

    • @lukejamesshaffer
      @lukejamesshaffer  3 роки тому

      Fair enough Paul! I wasn't overly stoked about the midi drum sound either but I wanted to give them a little more weight than my normal guitar 'kchucking'. Thanks for watching dude!
