Man, thanks so much. I’ve always appreciated the original, and I can play it, but there’s just something raw and simple about playing it in standard. Thanks for listening
@@chrismiller8421learned a tip to buy a second set of strings. Put two b strings on and tune that one down to A. I have a second guitar set up like this pretty much for the goo goo dolls
@DrewHale you've inspired me to get back into playing and singing. Been playing for 20 yrs, but took a break with life, kids, divorce, parents health declining, demanding job. But I believe music is the only thing that can truely cure a soul. Comedy and laughter help too. I hope you dont mind me stealing this version. Its been a blast belting out at the top of my lungs. Just thought I'd comment to let you know your work is important to many people and 99% of the time you have no idea about it. Cheers and God speed brother.
Holy shit hands down the best cover of this song iv ever heard. Trying to break down how your your hitting all them accents on the guitar it's incredible 👏
This is so impressive. I literally gave a second guitar set to goo goo dolls tuning so I can play this in open D. Didn’t even know it would be possible to play it in standard
I have tried to play this song but I can’t make it through without crying. The words mean so much for so many people. What a beautiful rendition. Thank you
He's a genius. He threw the pick out at about the end of the instrumental to warm the tone a bit, soften it up to close the song. This is well thought out.
I’m blown away by the talent here. This voice is such a rare blend of rough grit and smooth polish. He can give it a country growl and then a smooth technical run in the very next word. Truly astounding.
Really spectacular cover of this song. You got inside the vocals and made them your own. Great song and you took it in a whole new place and I really hope the original artist appreciates it as much as I think we all do. 🎉 Hopefully the band gets a chance to see this cover.
I just found this a few days ago and I can’t stop watching it. As music lover and a solo acoustic cover artist I say this from the bottom of my heart. You absolutely KILLED this one brother. I love it!
I commented on this video a year ago and i love this cover as much now as i did then, possibly more. An absolutely fabulous version of my all time favourite song. You have a home in Scotland any time you’d like to visit!
iam trying learn on guitar iam nearly there just need to get the feel of it to a t but your prob best one i seen do that and iam in uk as a producer ! well done bro
Love this version in standard tuning it is so much better on my guitar lol! Your singing let alone professional guitar playing is absolutely (better than) the original. Your voice carries the song to another level of talent, thank you so much I downloaded and play in my stereo and car all the time!! You should do a video on how you play it, you have a lot of people wanting to know how!!🎸🎶🎵🎼
im not the first to say that you lost the pick at the end of the solo. but you kept it going, and it rolled perfectly. almost as if it was intentional. thats pure skill. awesome vid brah
Brother!, this is honestly the BEST acoustic cover of a song I have ever heard!. Loved every second of it, you absolutely nailed it to the point that I actually think it’s better than the Goo Goo Dolls version and that’s against the rules to say apparently haha. Well done brother
Beautiful! And thanks for showing us how to pull the song off in standard tuning! Also, what a pro move on recovering from the pick loss towards the end of the solo moving to the finish.
Man, I didn’t know I needed this. The way you play and chord reminds me of my teacher. You mix in the passion you clearly have with some incredible vocals and this is one fantastic cover. I wish I had better words to describe this. I loved every second of it. And I’ve been on your end of losing a pick…you switched straight to the finger nail and made it to the finish. Well done all around.
Best cover ever in standard Tuning!!! Amazing voice!!! Losing the pick and switching to finger picking without skipping a beat, spot on!!! Keep up the videos. New follower here. Cheers!!
