  • It had to be done. An acoustic guitar solo version of Sparks, one of the best Coldplay songs ever, from Parachutes album. The guitar used is Fender CD-60, whilst the condenser microphone you see here is AKG C414 XLS. Quite a lovely mic indeed.
    Support me with "Super Thanks" 🙃 Super thanks!

    Best cover of Sparks by coldplay. I love this song. So underrated. I believe its one of the best and most simplest compositions.

      It's not that simple actually, the tuning is unusual and the chorus has some unusual chords

    [Verse 1]
    Did I drive you away?
    I know what you'll say
    You say, "Oh, sing one you know"
    But I promise you this
    I'll always look out for you
    Yeah, that's what I'll do
    [Chorus]
    I say, oh
    I say, oh
    [Verse 2]
    My heart is yours
    It's you that I hold on to
    Yeah, that's what I do
    And I know I was wrong
    But I won't let you down
    Oh yeah I will, yeah I will, yes I will, yeah I will
    [Chorus]
    I said, oh
    I cry, oh
    [Bridge]
    Yeah, I saw sparks
    Yeah, I saw sparks
    And I saw sparks
    Yeah, I saw sparks
    Sing it out

    That was a really awesome cover man. Coldplay songs can be tough because they are so beloved by a huge group of people but you did an amazing job. You have a very interesting quality about your voice. You really made the song your own instead of emulating the original which I really like. I think you have great talent and you could make a career out of this. :-).
    P.S: Your guitar sounds amazing.

    Great voice dude! May I make a suggestion. Your recording's will sound 10 times better if you add some sound absorption panels on the walls. The mic you are using is very sensitive and is picking up all the reflections and background noises of the room. Keep up the great signing!
    Cheers!

    • @GregAllen2
      @GregAllen2 10 років тому +10

      lol I hear you! You don't want to make the room dead, just help to reduce some of the echo flutter, and other unwanted reverberations that are interfere with the nice sound coming from the guitar. I am listing to it on nice flat monitors sitting in my treated studio and cringing. Just saying...Keep up the great singing dude!

    • @GregAllen2
      @GregAllen2 10 років тому +1

      ***** Hi John... I hear you. I just dropped another grand on a piece of gear that I cannot really afford. There are some really simple inexpensive DIY projects that will do wonders for a room. All my panels are constructed of 1x3's simply screwed together on each corner with a 2" wood screw. I purchased some rockwool insulation put it in the frame wrapped it with fabric, stapled the fabric to the back of the frames and hung them up. I made 8, 24x48" panels for about $140. Even hanging some wool or other heavy blankets on the walls will cut some of the highers frequencies. You don't have spend a tone of cash to get a good sound. I even built my own studio desk. scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/10506887_10204302882911780_3266040639147847918_o.jpg
