Gomez - Free to Run

Community Recordings Audio-Video Of You Playing

I went to watch Ben Ottowell from gomez play in a 100 person room, was absolutely amazing. Here is my poor homage to him with this song, his voice and guitar playing are so bloody good, I could try forever and not sound like him, but hopefully its passable :smiley:

Enjoy!

You’re doing very well and sounding quite good. You keep a steady rhythm throughout with good balance between voice and guitar. Your aim should be to sound as much like yourself as possible and you’re doing pretty well in that regard.

Great song from a great album.
Ben live will have been good I’m sure.

Great cover, Jamie. :slight_smile:

I really like how melodic it sounds and that slides… somehow it reminded me great song from John Butler - just call. I can hear some similarity.

Also great choice of video record angle with “messy” strings. I had times when I had strings like that too!

I am not that good yet, but I think you used some altered open tuning? Great.

Oh mate, Ben is so good, he has a touch and clarity with such intricate acoustic guitar work, all while belting out some of the most soulful singing you will ever here at the same time. He is such a nice dude as well, its a little art centre in a small fishing town on a tiny island, he loves coming here he said, Ive seen him twice now, the lad is a national treasure!!!

I should really buy some snippers :smiley: I never know what to do, the circle coil or just let them be wild, seems I went hybrid version here lol

Its surprisingly easy to play once you get it down, its mostly just one note you are fretting, sometimes 2, you are right its about the tuning. I have it saved in my tuner on my phone. Its very close to Open G, but its all G’s or D’s, no B’s its DGDGGD tuning. Think I just picked it up from a video on youtube, few tutorials for it. Very rewarding sound when you get it to sit together!
