Some notes on El Scorcho

Posted December 14, 2007

El Scorcho was originally released by Weezer on their 1996 album, Pinkerton. After hearing a live Dashboard Confessional cover of it back in November 2007, I couldn't decide which version I preferred. I liked the simplicity of Chris Carrabba's acoustic style, but I also enjoyed the implementation of percussion, and the plugged in electric guitars and bass in Weezer's. So, alas, just for fun I tried a cover with an acoustic guitar, a drumset, and some percussion ensemble. I hope you enjoy it!
