Hey everyone,

I recall some people mentioning that they were having a tough time getting good-sound chord voicings for acoustic and wanting to hear an acoustic version of this tune a while ago and I thought it would be cool to give one a shot. I altered some of the chords on the verse to give it a slightly different flavour and improvised on the main verse melody during the solo. Anyways, I have it posted on my myspace currently (for lack of a better place):

Let me know what you think.

Thaks and all the best,
-Brent

I like it.

Cool.
It really makes me want to hear live or acoustic versions of all the songs.

Thanks.

And I totally agree...I'm really intrigued as to how Heartache vs. Heartbreak will sound live, seeing as the foundation of the arrangement is electronic.

Hey man, this is great. I really like the changes you made. After hearing the "acousticish" mix of the original that hipsun posted, I thought it didn't quite fit exactly. Certain parts. But yours fixes that. Love it.

thanks i appreciate it!

Is that you doing Star's part? Haha, nice falsetto's

Brent · « **Reply #11 on:** May 19, 2007, 08:51:59 pm »

haha thanks...ya i layered the vocals myself. i managed to pull off a lot of the high G's on the pre-chorus pretty softly and on key without having to break into falsetto with the higher octave part, but falsettos were a must on those choruses.

I think that cover would'a been a bit better if the guitar was recorded on a separate track, and boosted a bit, also I think your voice is too tense/constrained, I suppose. You should sing with some more passion, loosen it up try to give it some more vibrato. Just some suggestions. I know you'll probably reply with something like "I did this in 5 minutes real quick just to show people what it sounded it like" I know, just givin some critique-ish-ness.

Great Cover.
My only suggestion: try and hide your Canadian accent.

Brent · « **Reply #14 on:** May 20, 2007, 01:28:17 pm »

hahaha...i didn't know i have one. can you actually tell that i'm canadian, or was that just a joke?

tom · « **Reply #15 on:** May 20, 2007, 04:24:45 pm »

well i can tell, but i'm usually pretty good with regional accents.

Pretty neat.
