Cocteau Twins - "Cherry-Coloured Funk" instrumental cover
Музыка
Recorded directly into Reaper using the effects built into it. The only drum program I have right now is Hydrogen, which is pretty tacky-sounding so I figure I can only get away with using it on songs with really simple drum patterns like this one. Two additional guitar parts, not shown: one playing overdubs in the choruses, and the other a low-mix rhythm part with the phaser effect (chords: A C#m D; F#m E D; D E).
Obviously, this is pretty chintzy and in no way holds a candle to the original.

It’s like they’re twins
The Cocteau Twins greatest talent was writing beautiful hooks. Amazing melodic skills, always the 'right' chord.
I listen to this all of the time it’s just so beautiful:’)

Thanks, glad you like it. I thought it came out a bit flat-sounding, myself. Still fun to give it a shot, though, even with my extreme technical limitations.
This made me do a Cocteau Karaoke...nice work.
Liz, Simon and Robin should seriously be subscribers....there is no one else on the planet doing these covers in such a focused and faithful way...

Love your channel. Thanks for sharing your talent and love of Robin Guthrie and the Cocteau Twins. Do you have any recommendations for a drum machine to recreate the reverb drum sounds found on the Cocteau Twins albums? I’m basically trying to do what you’re doing here.. I don’t want to run it through a computer.. I want to just come up with a drum part, and noodle my guitar on top. Or play Cocteau twins songs. I’m dying to explore Robin’s work and get inspiration. Thank you for any help.

I played it differently in the bass video I did for it years back, based on the album version. Here I was trying to emulate what I hear in the Black Sessions version, which might be different.
Isn’t the first chord progression A to E to D ?

Yes, that's what I'm playing. It's: --0-- --0-- --0-- --5-- -12- -10- --6-- -13- -11- --7-- -14- -12- (top four strings) Although with the open E string left ringing, the last chord is technically Dadd9.
