  • The Laptop Sessions: “Slide” (Goo Goo Dolls Acoustic Cover)

    Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:

    What’s happening world?  It’s Jeff Copperthite here with the latest installment of The Laptop Sessions.  After two incredible showings by Chris and Jim, I can only hope that today’s video comes close to the quality that is on theirs.

    I am happy to bring another new band to the sessions, and it is a band I have been a long time fan of.  I’m more surprised that it has taken me this long to dig up a song i’d like to cover by them.  The band is The Goo Goo Dolls - a band that has been around for over 20 years and has released multiple albums.   It took their 5th album to gain a significant following, upon the release of the song “Name”.

    Well, i’m not doing “Name”, but I am doing one of their other popular songs - hey, it’s only one more character too - called “Slide” from their album “Dizzy Up The Girl”.  While seemlingly simple to play, getting the strum pattern and the arpeggiated intro/middle down was tough.

    I hope you enjoy the new original album scrolling image on top of the page - be sure to check out our material as all three of us are very proud of our work, and we hope you agree!

    Be sure to come tomorrow to see another terrific original tune performed by our very own Jim Fusco.  I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us all.
