Yea Eddie Vedder is a surprisingly good percussionist

I agree. It seems so simple. I think I can understand what he does on an intellectual level - his thing is keeping a bassline going, play chord fragments to outline the progression, and throw in fills and melodies. But trying to even pull of a super-simplified version of this and keep the groove going is really difficult, not to mention singing at the same time. I think he's easily one of the most unique, incredible guitar players in the world. I don't want to say "best" because everyone has their own likes and dislikes, but he's my favorite.

@@alfgwahigain5544 I think you hit the nail on the head. Incredibly talented and incredibly unique.

Dr. H Totally, and the best part was learning the term "hit a clam".

Blake doesn't any anything by accident. ;)

Honestly, I don't think it's a mistake. It seems very intentional and I quite like it! : P

He plays Eb, the 6th over Gm, no passing chord.

Watched an interview today where he said he tried a new song life and kept missing frets by one fret for good 5 minutes straight haha

JacksonPolyp Blake understands respect due the songwriter. It's classy and too many performers neglect to do so preferring own arrangement and change of the original lyric.

Blake has no care for his own ego while he's playing, he only serves the music. That's why he's masterful.

the vocals are really compressed my dude

How do you define "processed"? Because what you're hearing are vibrations of strings amplified and distorted at the signal level, recorded and translated into a sampled binary signal, compressed using an algorithm, combined with video, uploaded to youtube (meaning compressed *again* with Google's algorithm), stored for years, and upon playing it, decompressed into an imperfect waveform representation of the original recording, sent as electrical signals to your speakers that vibrate the air, which your ears pick up. That's actually MORE processing than an EDM track that is originally created on a computer.

@@MikleShnikle I was in the room when this was shot, I can assure it sounds just like what I witnessed :)

I disagree. Have you seen Lucinda play live? I have.....Her voice ids rough and quavery, and so is Mills Voice, but Lucinda has mire soul

I like this better than the original version...

I think he toured in her band. He's played this as much as she has

I dont

I bet he has sat and played with Bob. If not, I am certain Bob knows who Blake is.

Konstantin Purschke that's called a tap harmonic. Basically you fret a note and then you "tap" the string 12 frets higher than that note, creating a harmonic. Hope this helps!

Stuart Johnson

agreed, kills the mood of the song...

i agree regardless, but i just listened through decent earbuds for the first time and it’s a lot more bearable. the treble isn’t painful like it normally is

Oui

a wood block :)

It's a Telecaster with a Teisco-type goldfoil pickup in the neck, tuned to D.

Boy is not a pronoun...

Sam is correct. 'Boy' is a noun.

@@samlacey7033 Ian is glad he didn't change that.

Gold foil neck pickup. Sounds amazing!

Its a teisco gold foil.

mcmeter awesome thx. love this sound

I think most of what your hearing and appreciating is in his hands and heart.

It really isnt that difficult if you watch closely you could look up lucinda's tabs and figure out what key and the progression and start from there

DM me if ya want lol

wow really i completely disagree. i think it's rare and beautiful to hear such creative and nuanced percussion

fair point man!

STANDARD D?

Thank's! the sound it's different. Better. regards from Italy

That's a Teisco Gold Foil pickup (or a reproduction).

@@killablooz Thanks mate.

You must be related to her dear sir, cause her version isn't close to this!

milk808 Agreed... Glaspy is good, but chordal arrangement, passing tones and fills by Blake...not even close, and I like Glaspy. MG is playing open chords pretty much. BW wins this one IMHO.
