I am completely jealous of your instrumental skills Shocked and the singing is really well done!

I can't wait to hear your entire finished product!

This is stunning, and superb...one of the best Brian Wilson/BB's covers I've ever heard. Fantastic work.

If you ever need some writing (or wanna collab when SMiLE's finshed...) I've been known to write some killer songs :D

I am glad you like my stuff, I hope to post more in the near future.  What I couldn't do if I had the ability you display in this cover.  I would have to build a studio in my house...and never come out.

Hey I'm trying to learn Cabin Essence...  I found some chords on the 'net that seemed pretty accurate, capo'd on the third fret:
Cmaj/G C7 F Em Am G F#dim Am7

...but that F#dim doesn't sound right.  What should it be?

It's really more of a piano song - try a D, though, the chord proper is F/G on a piano.

yeah, there's something going on in the bass that's a bit tricky to replicate.


Does anyone know the notes the banjo plays in the verses?

I'm doing this from memory and transcribing my own humming, so it might not be 100% right, but I believe the piano chords in the verse are:

Ebmaj7/G
Eb7/G
Ab/Eb
Gm7
Cm7
Bb/D
Dm7/G
C (note only, no chord)

And the banjo notes are:

G Bb Eb G F, Eb F F G
Ab G Ab, Eb C Bb, D F F G

Hmmm, OK so that would make the chord I'm looking for ad an Fm7/C?  :eek:

Also there's this...

Ah I forgot about the capo.. In that case, a Dm7/G is a Bm7/E. Try:

3

I really want to leave work so I can try this out!

WOW!!! Amazing cover!  w00t! w00t! Transcendental Meditation Transcendental Meditation Banana Banana Banana Brian's Trip Brian's Trip


If I were to attempt this song, it would probably sound like 15 Big Ones/Love You/Long Beach '81 BB vocals meets the Sex Pistols meets the Shaggs...I'm awestruck by all the talented musicians/singers/whathaveyou hanging around here. I play OK R&R guitar, but my keyboard non-skills could never do the BBs stuff justice.

Great job man. Really is inspiring me to do my own cover too.

Nowhere as talented but I love music. I'm hoping to get feedback from people on how to get better.
