  • Gave a spin to JC again with a cover of "Little Blue". If you've seen his performance for Mahogany you'll know what im talking about with the alternate tuning, but I think my version with standard tuning also turned out quite nice! Hope you like it :)
    Let me know if you'd like to see tabs
    BUT GUYS!!! I got into Berklee College of Music whaaaaat (the best music school in the world)!!! I need your help though. If you know my story, you know I'm getting no support from my family to follow my dreams (they want me to be a doctor) so I really need your help. I got 50% scholarship from Berklee but I still need some money to cover the rest. If you can spare even 1 dollar, I'd be eternally grateful. You can support me directly through the link below (thank you):
    paypal.me/Karo...
    Also! I'm releasing a single on the 5th of April! It's called "Japanese Knotweed" and it'll be the first teaser for my debut EP coming out in May.
    You can pre-save the song now (which helps a lot so please please do, it's completely free) under this link:

    OK NOW the lyrics of the song I'm singing for you today:
    Little blue, be my shelter
    Be my cradle, be my womb
    Be my boat, be my river
    Be the stillness of the moon
    If I could, I'd go with you
    To a place I never knew
    In your eyes, so dark and open
    There's a light that leads me back to you
    'Cause you're not so far away
    I hear you say
    "You'll never walk alone"
    Singin'
    Don't be afraid of the dark
    In your heart
    You're gonna find a way
    To carry the weight of the world
    On your shoulders
    You're gonna find a way home
    Little blue, be my anchor
    Be my light, my compass star
    Be my darkness, be my danger
    Be the strings of my guitar
    Little blue (little blue)
    How I love you (how I love you)
    Somethin' strong and somethin' true
    In your arms (in your arms)
    So dear and gentle
    There's a home
    That leads me back to you
    'Cause you're not so far away
    I hear you say
    "You'll never walk alone"
    Singin'
    Don't be afraid of the dark
    In your heart
    You're gonna find a way
    To carry the weight of the world
    On your shoulders
    You're gonna find a way
    Don't be afraid of the light
    It's alright
    You're gonna find your way
    To carry the weight of the world
    On your shoulders
    You're gonna find your way home

    JC also has an alternate guitar. 5 strings. He explains his guitar, its tuning, and his thinking over on Paul David’s channel. It’s cool.
    Everything we think of as ‘standard’ was once a new idea. Then we settle into the good ones. Then we get bored. And new ideas come along… but, you know this.
    Also, love your musical style, great stuff. 🎉

    Karolina has a beautiful voice, and sings this song really nicely.
    Sadly, I have yet to hear a cover version of this song which include the more complex modulations which Jacob uses on his original song. To work these out takes a great deal of listening and would be a steep learning curve for anyone to master.
    Most pro musicians - even jazz pianists - would struggle to do this, so Karonlina is far from being alone in not attempting this most demanding of musical tasks.
    Strangely enough, a former student of mine, the musical savant genius Derek Paravicini, could almost certainly do this almost instantly, because of his extraordinary musical gift.
    Although playing complex harmonies on piano and guitar is most certainly my area of expertise, even I have to work hard in order to work out the things which Jacob Collier does. He is the musical genius of our age.

    • @robertberman6692

      I agree. For me Jacob's surprising reharmonization of the second prechorus is the high point of the song, and omitting it makes the song simply pleasant instead of amazing.

    Beautiful! The reharmonisation flows perfectly with the rest of the piece... Bravo! Mixing tip: put an extra clip on mic onto your guitar and give your vocal a little boost, it gets swallowed by the guitar a bit, because they share a lot of the same frequencies

    Hi Karolina ... yes, I like it a lot! Really nice. Have been messing with this song today before I came across your version and, like you, I was also using standard tuning ... I can't be doing with all this alternate tuning bull***t either!! OK if you've got a room full of guitars that you can leave all differently tuned but otherwise it's a real pain. Anyway - some great ideas courtesy of your excellent interpretation. Thanks for posting and all the best!

    Is that SM7b picking up the guitar too or do you have some out-of-shot mic on it? It sounds really clear, I kind of wouldn't have expected that mic to pick that up that well from that distance but I'm still learning this stuff.

    beautiful, think your version sounds more like classic jazz while JC's with a tuning that allows for more sliding tones and droning (which fits his singing style) sounds more like alt folk. your title sounds click baiteee agro (ha??) which is fine but as a Joni Mitchell fan, alternate tunings rule so hard.

      No. The alternate tuning that Jacob Collier uses is literally just a tuning so that he can play 99% of his chords as barre chords. has nothing to do with accuracy, its just about making it easier to play.
