Not sure if you've ever tried this - go on youtube and put a song you like's name in and type 'cover' after it: Sometimes you get gems: UKULELE & SYNTHESISER - ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC? This version makes me smile so much, its near perfect - appreciate some might be fainting into their white face paint at the thought though! Sometimes you get utter sacrilidge (I won't put the Celine Dion version on here are its a family site) manualist plays ac/dc - you shook me all night long!
I do a search for cover versions some times, like you say some are good some are bad. I like the "are friends electric" cover thats quality ........not sure on ac/dc cover though lol!! theres some great talent out there, I love some of the ones of just some one singing at home with an acoustic guitar this ones quite nice Cloudbusting (Cover)
Appreciate that there are better people at doing this with a guitar, but this is still epic in my view. Newton Faulkner teardrops live (Massive Attack cover)
This is from a few years back. I'm sure John Peel played it on his show too... Sex Pistols : L'Anarchie pour l'UK
Some people are just so skilled. Hit the road Jack! Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah (Piano Cover, MP3 Available) California Dreaming - Sungha Jung
Not sure how to insert a link so that the you tube video is in my reply ...but click on this link to see a funny version of Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin" ...not strictly a cover but made me howl!! http://youtu.be/5yknL-4gWN4
Can't do a link on my fone Search : fight star , battlefield . Cheesy but I love it Arctic monkeys , love machine . Amazing
there are some very talented people out there on you tube I rather like this one Bulletproof - La Roux Cover - Hayley Legg
how about a ukulele cover of Iron Maidens number of the beast > ;D this guy is great, check out some of the 'Barons' other tunes Number of the Beast, Irön Mäiden cover on ukulele
try this but dont if your easily offended > Mc Burberry - Burberry boy (Estelle - American boy Parody)
I love Pachelbel's Canon in D (otherwise known as the wedding song that everyone seems to have chosen now, grrrr ) but this kid plays it on an electric guitar like nothing I've heard before, it's brilliant! Canon in D on guitar
