So after our 'Little Wing', this is our second project we've done together, and this time we took *really* a lot of time trying to get it as good as possible. It is 'Plug in Baby', by Muse, with some small changes to it. All vocals by Rich, all guitar and piano by me. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link so I could here the actual song. It shows that you guys put more time and effort into it.

Rich, it's hard to emulate someone else's voice but, you did a good job. Keep at it!

Arjen, you also did a good job. Nice playing!

So answer me this, if you guys start hitting it big (which you guys are well on your way) where are you going to perform? Holland or Illinois?

P.S. Arjen, I like the Marshall's in the background of that video. :wink:

Thanks Tracker. I don't know about Rich, but I'll be performing in Italy. Sorry folks, but neither Holland or the States has that coolness-factor :)

ps. It was a tube marshall, so that doesn't count :D

i didnt really try to emulate anyones voice, thats the notes he hit so thats what imma hit too lol.

anyways i think i did better on this then little wing, although we will be redoing little wing plus another song oncewe figure it out. For the new songs, we both will have our own little guitar parts

Arjen & Rich

I think that was very good. You guys are getting somewhere now.

Good vocals and guitar. I thought the keyboard was great too.

Keep working hard on improving your songs, it's paying off.

How about an original??

Wes,

Maybe it's me, but writing a song without being able to see each other is 'weird' to me. In my opinion there is a limit to how much you can cooperate together with just the internet to communicate. But maybe it's worth a try...

Unfortunately, I got these two error messages. One when I tried to stream and the other for download. Any help?

Hmm, weird. Try going to http://promedics.dmusic.com , and click either the green or orange button next to the song (low-quality streaming wont work due to how its mixed). If that wont work I could email it if you want...

im sure the main riff is wrong..

its fairly right but ive heard plug in baby so many times that i can pick up on little differences.

where did you get the tab from?

this is a very weird way of putting it, but it sounds more diminished than minor,one note can make a big difference in sound.. it might be one fret off..

yeah, its only 2 wrong notes i can pick out, and it seems to be the same note just used in different passages, where the triplet comes in after the first part of the riff..

this is no huge problem, just pointing out what i hear.

Good ears you'be got, the main riff is indeed 'wrong'. I do have the original sheet music, and I know how I *should* play, but I just made some small changes. The 2nd run after the hammer-on is all lowered with one semi-tone. In the original version it goes over F#-G, and the riff is raised one semi-tone to fit nicely over the G. I don't do this, since, IMHO, it adds a really weird feel to the bassnotes with the guitar parts just not fitting in right. When I'm with the band i play it the 100% correct way so I wont supris the bassist on anything, but just felt like trying my way here :)

The 2nd difference is the part after the bend. It's a minor difference, really, but I like my one better. Once again, to each his own and normally I play the original way.

and thats why they are called, "COVERS" you do them the way you would do it. etc. this is why i stay away from doing cover songs, everybody always trys to judge you by the original, to me that is choking yourself on your own creativity and limiting yourself. I would much rather do something no one has ever heard before. All in all, you did an ok job.
