Nicely done. I enjoyed that.

I have a couple of covers up on youtube - no singing though, I'm not going to inflict my vocals on anyone :')

My first is a slightly gimmicky cover of The Debt Collector on melodica,

and the second is a little medley of Graham Coxon songs on guitar, none of which I'm very good at! haha

Your Graham medley was fucking fantastic! My favorite parts were Bitter Tears and In The Morning. Lovely songs and lovely covers. In The Morning seems especially difficult to play, you're very talented!

Thank you!! I need him to bring out a new album so I can learn more.

SPEAKING OF WHICH....
when I saw Graham playing in Camden last year he played a couple of new songs, which I recorded on my phone. They turned out to be pretty decent quality, you can hear all the words and everything. I didn't want to upload them anywhere because I want people to hear whatever Graham's plans for them are, rather than my bootlegs. But it's been a year and as far as I'm aware - nothing's happening with Graham.

Does anyone know any different?

There was an interview earlier this year which said he had a new album ready to be released, but it didn't give any dates or anything.

Other recordings of those tunes are all ready on Youtube, so I'd not worry too much about uploading alternate versions... You could always upload them as unlisted and post the links here.

I'm also impressed with your covers, I'd not know where to begin with that fiddly Spinning Top stuff.

I forgot about my cover of Garden Central. It was during a hiatus from my band. Looking back it could have used more rhythm guitar, but it sounds kind of cool without the background noise.

I also did a cover of Graham's "Lake".

Hi everyone!

I recently created a Youtube channel with a friend where you can find a cover of For Tomorrow:

I really enjoyed your medley. Very good.
If I may, a sliiiiiiiight correction: the tuning on In The Morning is not DGDGBD but DGDGBE. But it's of no importance until you reach the long instrumental bridge.

I reckon it's fairly accurate. Good job!
Since I'm still working on my own transcription of this tune, I could object a few details (acoustic guitar chords mainly), but they're really minute ones, and probably too boring to be detailed here -- message me if needed.

[19cvst]

Thanks !

It's not a note for note cover but it wasn't my goal. You are mainly talking about the chord shapes / slash chords, aren't you? I know Graham Coxon doesn't play the ones I chose to play. I messaged you so we can continue our discussion .

Hi everyone.
First of all, so sorry for digging this up. But I thought a while before writing this post and decided it was the right thing to do, instead of creating a new thread. I hope everything's ok.

I have always loved recording Blur covers, there used to have dozens of videos on my Youtube channel. It is a lovely hobby I have but after some time I got out the habit of recording and haven't been doing so since 2014 probably. But lately I've decided to turn my channel into a Blur Covers channel. So I would like to introduce my project called "Blur Covers". Also, I'm a big Blur fan and instead of singles I am recording the album tracks first, there are plenty of songs that are so underrated and good, it's a shame people don't even attempt to cover them. I'm trying to upload as often as I can and so far I've already covered songs like "He Thought of Cars", "Mellow Song", "Country Sad Ballad Man", among others. Many more to come, like "Caramel", "Magic America" and "Fade Away" to name a few.

Also hey thanks a lot for the comment on this, I had never seen it before! I recorded this with my friend Dan a few years ago and yes, there's plenty of other covers there too (and more to come!)
