All right! We’re back! After an absence that seemed longer than it actually was, guitarbucketlist.com is back up and running. In the time the site was down, I was scheduled to post a video this past Sunday, and I did. The only way you’d have already seen it is if you were on Youtube and decided to search for Smash Mouth.

Well, I uploaded another cover from that band. From the same album “Astro Lounge” that I drew from earlier, I bring you “Fallen Horses”, a great song you may have never heard of. The original song has a really cool groove to it, and a great melody line that the guitar plays. I play it in the opening of the song, and then play the regular guitar part the rest of the way.

I already had received one positive comment on Youtube for this song, so I’ll let that speak for itself. I hope you enjoy this upload. I’m sure you’ll enjoy Chris’ sessions three times as much as you normally would…

Another milestone! And in only 52 days! I have reached 20K views on Youtube!

I am pleased to have reached this milestone, as it brings me another 10K views to my goal of 40K by the end of the summer. I want to thank all of you loyal guitarbucketlist.com visitors. This motivates me further to continue to provide the best acoustic cover song videos that I can!

My viewcount increased 10K in 52 days. That makes my views per day stat 192.31. The past week or two (thanks mostly to my Jakob Dylan video) I have been averaging 250 views per day. And this statistic can only go up from here!

We continue to please and you can expect more songs from new bands, previously covered bands, and more top notch original music videos from Jim, Chris, and myself. Again, thank you for helping me reach this wonderful milestone. Here’s to the next 10K and beyond!

“The Scientist” (Coldplay Cover)

Good evening to everybody, and yes it’s that time – Thumpin’ Thursday! It’s the day that comes every 3 weeks where I, Jeff Copperthite, bring you another Laptop Sessions. True, I end up giving you a session every 3 days, but hey, only Thursday can be Thumpin’ Thursday.

Ok, that’s a cheesy enough introduction.

Today I bring you another song by Coldplay called “The Scientist”. This is an easy song to play, and it is also a great song to hear. I have really enjoyed bringing you previous Coldplay cover songs, and I am sure they will be a band I keep covering in the future. The song is from their album “A Rush of Blood To The Head”, which is my favorite album so far. However, I will be picking up “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends” tomorrow from iTunes. I’ve been slow to convert to buying albums electronically because i’m afraid of losing that “You just spent $10 somewhere” that I get when I go to the FYE or Best Buy.

Plenty more sessions from bands I’ve covered before — and new bands — are in the archive.

Also, I’m very close to another grand landmark – 20K views! Stay tuned…

“New Horizons” (Moody Blues Cover)

Welcome to your fantastic Friday edition of The Laptop Sessions. Today I delve into a new band for me, but Jim has covered this band before. Of course i’m talking about the Moodies themselves.

I bring you a song from The Moody Blues’ album “Seventh Sojourn” called “New Horizons”. Jim introduced me to this song on a past radio show, and I have enjoyed it since. There is no Moody Blues song that I have heard that I didn’t like. I really should purchase some of their albums.

I’m very happy with how this video came out. You may notice I am using a capo. The song is in F and I usually have no problem whatsoever playing a song in F without a capo, but this song does require some barre chords to play. My arm was in a bit of pain today because I took a baseball off my shoulder in a game I umpired today. Barre chords tend to hurt my hand and forearm if I play them for a long time. I can get through a song fine, but today not so much. So I capo’d the song on the 5th fret, and played it using a C transposition. Worked for me, hopefully it’ll work for you.
