From Bilbao. I love music, especially rock, from pop-rock to metal. My favorite decade for music is the 90s, and the sound of grunge bands,... I hope you enjoy the covers.

Cocteau Twins - Violaine (Guitar Cover)

A new incursion into shoegaze style.

"Violaine" is the first take of the studio album "Milk & Kisses", released on March 1996, by Scottish band Cocteau Twins. It was their 8th and final album.

If you want to know more about this unique band, you will find a lot of information on this website: https://cocteautwins.com/

This is my own interpretation of the song. Sorry, I don't have the tabs for this song, I've played it by ear, trying to sound as much like the studio version as possible. There are practically no live videos of this great band, nor have I found any cover versions of this song, except for one by "The Coctones", which is a cover band. I haven't played the scatter tremolo guitar that you hear at the beginning of the song. I'm not sure if it's an electric guitar and not a synthesizer either, but with these shoegaze bands you never know...

Another curious thing is the lyrics of this song. It is not written in any recognisable language, and it is not certain that they are the ones found on the web. Some say there are some words written backwards in English. Who knows.

The main chord, which repeats during the verses is an A9: 0 0 11 12 12 12.

Standard Tuning.

Gear used:

- Fender Stratocaster Standard.
- Squier Jazzmaster J Mascis.
- Line 6 POD GO. Effects: Fuzz, Chorus, Digital Delay.
- Neunaber IMMERSE Reverberator MkII pedal.
- Fender cable, Dunlop Ultex picks.

Official Wikipedia
Cocteau Twins were a Scottish rock band active from 1979 to 1997. They were formed in Grangemouth by Robin Guthrie (guitars, drum machine) and Will Heggie (bass), adding Elizabeth Fraser (vocals) in 1981 and replacing Heggie with multi-instrumentalist Simon Raymonde in 1983. The group earned critical praise for their ethereal, effects-laden sound and the soprano vocals of Fraser, whose lyrics often eschew any recognisable language. They pioneered the 1980s alternative subgenre of dream pop and helped define what would become shoegaze.After signing with the British record label 4AD in 1982, they released their debut album Garlands later that year. The addition of Raymonde in 1983 solidified their final lineup, which produced their biggest hit in the UK, "Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops", peaking at No. 29 on the UK Singles Chart. In 1988, Cocteau Twins signed with Capitol Records in the United States, distributing their fifth album, Blue Bell Knoll, through a major label in the country. After the 1990 release of their most critically acclaimed album, Heaven or Las Vegas, the band left 4AD for Fontana Records, where they released their final two albums. After nearly 20 years together, the band disbanded in 1997 in part due to issues stemming from the disintegration of Fraser and Guthrie's romantic relationship. In 2005, the band announced that they would reunite to headline Coachella Festival and embark on a world tour but the reunion was cancelled a month later after Fraser refused to perform on stage with Guthrie. In a 2021 interview, Raymonde confirmed that Cocteau Twins "will never reform".
