Bullet For My Valentine - Tears Don't Fall (My RECORDED Acoustic version - Vocals)

Hello music fam!

Some of you might have seen my acoustic version of 'Tears Don't Fall' a few weeks ago, and probably have seen a few more of my other acoustic covers and/or original songs. I quite liked playing Tears Don't Fall the other week so decided to record an acoustic version, properly! Well, as best as I can anyway haha!

Bullet For My Valentine are a Welsh Metalcore band who released their debut album The Poison in 2005! If you know this song, you'll know the 'LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!' part at the start, which is why I screamed it haha! It might not fit with the acoustic version but hey I just thought why now :) my apologies if you hated that! :P I did have a plan on whispering it but couldn't resist ;)

All of the acoustic guitar parts you can here are playing my me :) there are 3 layers to it. I kind of just built it up as I went and I guess this version is still in its beta phase and there are some sections that need a little bit of work, which I comment on during the video.

For this video, I am double tracking my vocals. Now, I am not a producer, but does anyone know if double tracking vocals is typical? When I was in the studio, the producer makes my vocals sound huge, but I don't think they are double tracked. I know back in the day people would double track their guitars. For example, Metallica - James Hetfield is such a tight rhythm player that he was amazing at double tracking his guitar parts. I also know that 'Crazy Train' solo by Randy Rhoads is double tracked, if you can believe that! How cool!

I am not really trying to harmonise my vocals here but just having some fun laying down new ideas. I think that is always important to have fun and challenge ourselves! Usually I am just playing guitar, but here I am focusing on my vocals a little more. They do need some work but I am getting more confident with them. Some years ago I would have never uploaded vocal covers or even my originals! So it is a nice feeling to break out of the shell and just go with it!:)

**Keep on rocking everyone! Peace and love! **

PS - any suggestions of how I can improve are always welcome! :)

Bro how cool! Bullet for my Valentine was my favorite band when I was 14 and 15! I don't know how I missed your acoustic version of this song.

One of my favorite songs of theirs is "Say Goodnight", it would be great if you could cover it on guitar! It has some great guitar solos.

Excellent bro! Thanks for bringing this song from such a great band.
