Shinkokyuu cover

[upper ocean]

I'm very new to guitar and I'm trying to make a cover of this song: https://youtu.be/kuqYj3tQw1E?si=dYzLxhZ-TzUWXyy_
I was following this cover and the beginning chords just don't match for me. They sound right in the cover. I played the chords exactly the same without muting strings and it just sounds bad. https://youtu.be/jlIzMCLnQrw?si=ifCmbt_xobZd4KS8
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? Or could it be there are two guitar tracks in the original? Or could the chords just be wrong in the cover?
Thanks

here is the isolated electric guitar from the original and my playing

sounds like you can tune and help a lot

whats the goal?

you have a lot of things linked above

if you want to learn a song? what song are you wanting to learn? and whats the goal?

we dont need to listen to someone else doing a "cover" of it

we can just talk about the original and playing that

are you wanting to play a "cover", like, your own version of a song, playing the melody and harmony? or are you wanting to play along with a recording, playing the guitar part?

I want to basically replicate the original song as close as I can by myself

Thanks for the video. I just want to play the guitar part. It’s hard for me to play chords by ear since I’m still new. Thanks for showing the chords! You’re really good!!
