[Voodoochild]

Well, I made an unplugged version of Better and recorded with and without vocals... Just click with the right button and chose "save as":

[Voodoochild]

Thanks guys!

Very good job. Sounds like 'Better' done by the Dave Matthews Band 

Hahaha, it would if I could sing.

[sladdi]

fucking nicely done! something different for a change  loving the brasileiro accent 

[Voodoochild]

Haha, thanks sladdi. Yeah, I think my accent is pretty much all over the singing there.

[AXL 20]

[CheapJon]

Thanks guys...

I don't have a tab for the regular version, but you can find something about the riff and the chords here:

Of course I played different in this accoustic version, but what I posted on that other thread is pretty much 100% accurate.

Voodoo this is amazing. ?I've listened to it probably 20 times the past two days. ?I usually don't post but felt I had to to say how much I appreciated this. ?

God I wish I could do this. ?Did you record both guitars and vocals all separate or did you combine the rhythm and vocals into one take? ?

That lick coming out of Robin's last solo and continuing through the "naaa naaa naaa"'s is so catchy. ?I can't believe I never really heard it until they started playing it live and it stood out more. ?It is really drowned out on the demo but really shined in the commercial and your version here. ?

As with everyone here, if you'd ever have the time I'd love a tab of the song. ?I think I'm going to start plugging away at learning it so I can play it when it comes out as a single.

Dude, that was a really nice thing to read. Thanks a lot...

Yes, I recorded the rhythm and the lead guitar in two takes, and then recorded the voice (yeah, it sucks, I know, lol).

And for the record, I recorded this version before the H-D ad. People were saying that this is a new guitar work, but it was always there. Robin is a fucking genius

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Good job I like it

[kupirock]

Wow, istrumental version is fuckin' great

[Voodoochild]

Thanks man!

Hopefully I'll put the eletric version sometime soon..

[HamsterDemocracy]

Awesome, sounds like Seu Jorge.

[Duda Klaus]

Hahahaha 
Very nice, Voodoo. I like it! :}

[Guns N RockMusic]

I really dig this Voodoo.  You are definitely a very talented person.

[Voodoochild]

Awesome, sounds like Seu Jorge.

Hahha, no way dude. I don't have that low rasp voice.

Hahahaha 
Very nice, Voodoo. I like it! :}

Valeu Duda!

Thanks man!

[ben9785]

hey man i just wanted to say i heard the acoustic version, it sounds awesome man, i love your accent as well, sounds like enrique englusias or whatever that guys name is, especially when you scream out "now i know you BETTER" at the end of the chorus.. not a bad thing, very unique. i thought my accent sounded a bit bad (i come from australia but i have middle eastern heritage so a bit of it is in there especially when i say particular words)

[Voodoochild]

Heheh, thanks, I guess..

[Voodoochild]

Sorry for bumping, but I finally got my ass to write the chords.. The whole tab will need more time, tho.

Tune your guitar down to D.

Almost all the chords has the #3 and #4 fingers in the third fret, like those ones:

C

----3---
----3---
----0---
----2---
----3---
--------

Em

----3---
----3---
----0---
----2---
----2---
----0---

G

----3---
----3---
----0---
----0---
----2---
----3---

The verse cames like (C-Em-G-Em)

In the bridge to the chorus, when Axl sings "All that I wanted was..." do it with C - G - D - A.

Chorus: Em - G - A, always in the same chord style. Then, before going to the regular verses again, play C - G - D - A, but finish it with a higher Em (I mean, the #1 finger in the 2nd fret on D string).

Bucket solo it's just G-G#-A.

Metal riff: (Em - D - A)2x - Em - G - A - D - Em (high). This last part is faster.

After Axl's yelling part, keep the finger like the examples and play this: C - B - A - G - A - B [(C-B)2x A - G - A]2x.

The rest of the song is the same. Hopefully you'll understand what I wrote..

[ppbebe]

Neat cover, mate! 

Your work always impresses me. You're highly endowed.

[Deez Nuts]

Thanks Voodoo for the tab, I've never tuned down to D (besides drop D) before so I'm going to try it out. 

[Neemo]

yeah voodoo has this tune down pretty good...cheers dude for helping me figure it out too

[Ganja4Life]

I don't know if its only supposed to be 8 seconds but thats how long it was for me ...good job on what I heard though man ,keep it up!

[Voodoochild]

Hehe, thanks man, but it's the whole song. Try to download it again.. If you still can't download, let me know your email and I'll send it to you.

[monkeyboy32]

Well done, i enjoyed that.

[doooodickiebr]

rockin man!!!!   great!!!

[Voodoochild]

Thanks guys!

[JuicySwoos]

Very solid. Me gusta

[Ignatius]

Nicely done!

Are you playing the solos also? the solo in the end is awesome, you hit pretty much every note there.

Vocals, they are good too...they sound different (your accent obviously) but ok.

[Voodoochild]

Thanks man

Yeah, I recorded everything (vocals, guitars) for my girlfriend. I even promised to tab the solo, but I keep postponing this due to lack of time...

As for the vocals... Well, I tried.

[CheapJon]

Hehe, thanks man, but it's the whole song. Try to download it again.. If you still can't download, let me know your email and I'll send it to you.

please do that to me to or upload it on yousendit or something.. i can't open it anymore i remember that i liked it and your accent

[Bruno Poeys]

Thanks mate!

Well, I didn't use anything special, just my old Giannini (brazilian) Studant Series guitar (it was my first guitar! ) with nylon strings tuned down to Db. I only used this one and recorded the overdubs later with Adobe Audition 2.0.

Sorry to resurrect this thread again but I just heard this and was very impressed.  Good job Voodoochild!

[CSS]

Sorry to resurrect this thread again but I just heard this and was very impressed.? Good job Voodoochild!

Yeah, it's pretty damn awesome.

I find myself listening to the instrumental over and over again.

Voodoochild: You should definitely do this with another Guns N' Roses song, if possible.

[Voodoochild]

Sorry to resurrect this thread again but I just heard this and was very impressed.  Good job Voodoochild!

Thanks dude! I actually heard again today and I thought it's very weak, lol. I should just shut up and not sing at all.

Thanks mate. I actually don't have pc anymore at home, so it may take a while, but I could do IRS and TWAT unplugged too... 

[estebanf]

I've just downloaded the version with vocals:

All I can say is that it is fabulous! Great version man, congratulations 

vocals are great, like a Paul Simon / Herbert Vianna fusion.

Now you need to record Chinese Democracy 

[Voodoochild]

Thanks man.

I would record anything if I have how to now... I'll have to wait a bit till a buy a new cp.

LOL @ Paul Simon/Herbet Vianna fusion.
