When Someone Requests Simple Man 

Love this 🔥🔥

My good man, my fellow human. I saw some early videos. Your weight is on the rise. A month ago I was 304 and today I'm 283 on keto. But when I come off keto at 3 months or 4, ill have to watch that scale. Just don't let it get too high. Watch carbohydrates for sure. You're incredible by the way. Just trying to keep you in earth for people to enjoy what you do.

Just found you today ...wow 748k subs I can see why More Lynrd skynrd pls Where was this vid performed ? I was clapping from London......

This blew me away Brother

i realized that too

So awesome

Can relate. It's probably his favourite song.

That's a tattooed smile.☺️

Don't even bothered for the pizza getting cold 😁

Amen

What’s really cool about that is I’m not a dad or holding food, but definitely smiling. Music can bring joy to anyone’s day it’s so special

@@mattpassos5689 music can really brighten our day!

💯

That's a simple Man

I COULD DIE NOW..BUT AFTER THAT I WANA HEAR MORE COVERS!!

Best

That makes two of us listening to it all day long

My best friend loved these guys , He has been gone almost 10 years now .thanks for the memories ,

Seriously. Super impressive lol

As an father of 2 boys I can say you get you'r arms trained💪 (If you aren't a Lazy parent..)

His option was to go home to a nagging wife which we all know he eventually did... but her bonbons and ice cream had melted by then.... totally worth it.!

One of the most underrated posts ever :D

#dadbod

Hell to the yeah!!😁👍🏻😎 ✌🏻 ☮️ (and a few of us are over 65!) 😜😂👍🏻

Amen to that.

i’m 17 and wish this hip hop garbage would end already. especially these past couple years. the same song has been released 1,000,000 times

Compared to the crap this pussie generation is putting out ill take it

Totally hear you on that. He did such an amazing rendition of this song. Wow.

Someplace to go. Something to do. Mouth to feed. Maybe. I know its not an excuse to just walk past this genius musician, but still.. we watch the video from the start while those random people walk past this just hear the fraction of the music and maybe, just maybe they didnt feel it in their heart to make em stop and listen. Dunno.. sorry for shit english. Not my mother tongue

Because this is in St. Armand's circle in FL... $$$$$$$ TO MUCH $$$$$$$ TO CARE!

Because if everyone had the same taste for music, we'd be called the republic of China

The suckers are all late to Polka-class....

Probably because they're deaf

Lol

Haha, nice!!!

Sick ahahaha

"Why is the pizza cold?"

Lol! Good one! 😀

Crazy thing is that this guy has a bunch of videos playing on the street in front of only a handful of people, shows so much talent sounds incredible. It's like why is he not playing for big crowds

Totally Agree....

He knew it, he listened to a fake song as a joke and then played Simple Man.

@@andrewlang7500 Musically, Dovydas knows all.

Haha, a lot of the time you've learned the song before but you forget what key it's in and how to play it. I'm 35 and I haven't played Simple Man in probably 20 years. It would take me longer than that but I'd have it worked out in a couple minutes of just hitting notes and seeing what's what. Other than that it's just staying in key when you solo. Dude killed it though, respect.

He makes me want to learn his ways !

Damn right.. me too

Same here!

This simple man was also the only person to tip this badass musician during the entire performance although their were plenty jamming along for free.

Mine to

Indeed, to the point tears ran down my cheeks. Amazing music played by a master will do that to we humans won't it.

Simple man looks like the most responsible slit eyed stoner on his way home with his most prized possessions all in hand.... Daughter - check; amazing Skynyrd cover - check; yes he may have cold pizza and warm soda but you can microwave and chill that... you couldn't get that experience back...

cant replace happiness bud, smile is smile

@@falouchelo I’m not sure what you’re replying to with that comment

If you got kids you get used to holding them like that . I'm more impressed by the kid being still

🙂❣️

I wish I'd been a better mom.

❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

It'll be on mine too hun

Nice❤❤❤

RESPECT!

Agree 100%

This guy is well fed,,excellent

Amen!

Roger that !

Very well said, this was a classic still to this day...alot of meaning behind this song and iam impressed that he made this song the way he plays it instead of tring to copy their cover...Great Job brother....I too play this song for my mom cause she grew up listening to Skynyrd and this is her favorite song by them. So I play it on a twelve string for her...Keep on rocking...

Me to just recently learned this song accustic bound in my world im still learning it

I would love to explore this guys setup. Being a guitar player myself, ive dreamed of being a one man show. This dude has the shit down

or, he could save this video and show her...

@@bobmoe9221 even better

@@bobmoe9221 no..... Looking at a phone or a moving picture must never overtake actually sitting down and talking to one another

And he was the new Steve Vai.

I don't know how people could just walk past him and pay no mind.

God damn. All i had to do was believe my mom when she told me rolling stones song cant always get you what had all the lyrics i needed to remember. RIP 1945-2010. Momma, you were right all this time and i just... spent so much wasted time. I'm so sorry. But someday you're gonna meet my wife. I tried after all those years. And we ain't rich thats for sure, we share a garage apartment and I'm 40. We get by. but if anyone reading this needs to understand sage wisdom, im going to close my eyes for a few seconds. Trust me. . . . . Ok, in that moment i was as rich as bezos. Ac set nice temp, sound from the stereo i keep as a hobby, in a comfy bed, blanket pulled up, mmm, stomach aint growling, few minutes ago had a drink of ice cold alkaline water. I can barely hear a flat screen in another room, and this tablet i felt the weight of it's nearly magical existence, roof over head, no bugs bugging me, texting was quiet so my wife doing good, and I'll be honest im I'm a little bit relaxed on some whisky, too. Im showered. Teeth brushed. Relaxed. And there you go for that little moment i had 200 billion dollars. Eyes open, looks like i got what I need. Since 2014, this girl has inspired me to know, even jeff don't gotba big Hispanic family that took me in as their own like this. Andi an close my eyes and be a billionaire again, but it's not wirth it if i see my girl less. I really tried mom, and i got what i needed after all.

🤣

Hahaa well he have to shred the song due to copyright, I mean, if you ask him a song, he will make his own version 🤭

Lol 😂

@@jazvi7653 thanks for clearing that up.

@@MrGritz7 sure, many ppl don't know that he always do his own version of the songs, plus, he's using a looper, it's difficult to make a live cover of a song lol, cheers

Listens to something for 30 seconds and then plays something else

he was being sarcastic and pretending he didn't know the song. obviously it was a song he knew very well

There are not very musicians that can do this! I am grandfather who played piano, was one of those special people he could dress up a song Every Witch Way on the piano and change it into the flat notes, if I asked him to. This man is the top of his game!

@A Lucky Man! musics cool cus we can disagree on this. I’m on the train of thought of, without truly experimental shit, we would be nowhere in this world. Every time people get sick of true pop, ordinary people experiment in music, and we get rock (Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Hendrix), jazz (too much to list), even dance, EDM, hip hop and rap, and much more. Yeah, learning songwriting necessities is cool and fun, no arguement there, but for me and I’m sure a lot of other people (probably not majority), learning crazy jazz chords, cool scales and implementing those things and just experimenting with different shit is just so fun.

Of course he knows simple man lmao. Probably knows free bird too haha

Can’t imagine.he is real…more than talent, completely in another era, WOW!,

If you ain’t Cav!

Thank you for your service DC.

Dovydas looks like he could do double duty as a machine gunner lol. He's built like a tank. Also thank you for your service sir.

@@deepg7084 thats probably cause he power lifts... re looking like a tank!

Thank you, soldier.

Só sad that only one tipped him. Soooo sad.

I would have tipped a lot. I went to main event and the bartender is going to school and raising her daughter and working at maine event. So I left a tip of $200

Melody good, but words can really speak to people, especially in this song. Helped straighten my life out. ❤️🇺🇸❤️. Love always to the Skynyrd Band.

Humanity!

Angels don’t wear headphones. Just saying....

@The Slap now here’s a stupid reply. There’s one in every crowd, I guess.

@@jeffbaker8316 haha seriously. And what a stupid name... The Slap. Too many hateful idiots. Bitch slap the slap.

@The Slap cool quote Eagles Nest. Who’s this Slap jackass 👎

Nice.

Love this.

They really don't know how lucky they are.

I've never heard guitar learned and played like on the spot. Amazing

You got it. Master guitar player.

A simple baby

Haha right?... And meanwhile his breastfeeding wife is like "where's the fucking pizza!"

@@plentyplus1 so good 😂

@@plentyplus1 his wife later: why is all the cheese on one side?!

The baby started jamming along partway through the solo. Then it went for a chug of milk. Future partier.

And if you do this, it Will help you, some sunny Day, oh yeah !

Shinedown does an outstanding cover of simple man. It came about because their guitar player was married to Ronnie Van Zant's daughter.

Was kind of wishing, dreaming that someone would have come up and started singing the vocals.

Unbelievable

@@ronpuchalski6388 I love Shinedown's version!

It was played at my best friends funeral 3 years ago.

Rest well Butch

Never knew him but I can tell he must have been a good man. I’m sorry for your loss, hope he’s out there somewhere chilling with all the greats!

r.i.p. Butch 🤘😔🕯

This song takes people places--it just goes down into your soul somehow and you end up with that grinding lump in your throat and some tears running that you try to hide so nobody sees...yeah--this street dude made that happen--damn

Yes, some of the best songwriters ever...❤

You mean Ronnie Vanzant? Most of the band is still around

Proving once again that bands will be remembered more for their soulful ballads.

Facts.

Amen to that. 💜

So far i've learned like 15 seconds of intro.. in 6 years

All he did was look up the chords, applied the circle of fifths and soloed the scales according to the circle.

@@webtheweb Is that all?

Yea my fingers aren't strong enough to do the bar chord parts but Nothing Else Matters is one my favorites to attempt to play

@@cascadeblue7268 I don't think I bar chord anything but that's prolly why mine sounds like crap.

I like how his comment when the guy asks for lessons, have u got ten years. Young people out there, my advise-ten years is ,nothing. Pick up the dam guitar- in 10 years you will have dreams beyond your imagination-I am starting again at 67, the journey begins

More like COLOSSAL! 😉

Ya, man he's asome

Absolutely true! Especially the part about rap and today's music basically sucking.

OUTSTANDING IN MANY WAYS... KINDA WISH HE SANG THE LYRICS TOO. ..BUT WHO AM I TO SAY...I CAN ONLY PLAY CHOPSTICKS ON A PIANO...AND NOT VERY WELL AT THAT

Or they're LS purists , who didn't appreciate shredding on top of what originally slow Blues .

@@filianablanxart8305 I see your point, but each artist has their own style. That's what makes them unique. Dovydas has the ability to expand on an original piece. Most, including myself can't even get the original song straight without butchering it. Also, many times an artist will cover a song adding their own flare to it. If you get the time, check out his request for "Purple Rain". It's here on RU-vid. Blessings to you.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o6Wi6oPdBRA.html

So pardon my ignorance , but is this guy semi- famous , or a random busker recorded by passersby ?

@@filianablanxart8305 He is becoming world renown. He has already been on his own country's version of "AGT". His passion for music speaks for itself. He is originally from Lithuania. He has an original album out as well. Maybe more by now. I own a copy of the first album. Hope this helps to shed light on the subject.

Probably an angel disguised as a human! This is amazing!

Glad to know I'm not the only one to cry with this!

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲tears of joy right here knowing good music like this can heal a ❤️‍🩹….Ty to this amazing musician ❤️

Yes he is spectacular. I'd give anything to be able to play half as good as he can.

Hard work and genius collide.

Well said

Amen !!!

Love this dude . Makes my soul so happy !!

I'm pretty sure the dad holding the kid and the old man holding his wife's hand (as she's trying to pull him away) definitely knew it wasn't nothing.

They're all appreciating his work mate but it's not a concert so they're going to act accordingly.

facts!!! This guy is murdering that guitar.

Seemed his little one was having a good time too :)

did you see her wave? aw!

Just had my son 3 weeks ago and this comment registers definitely now than it would have a couple months ago - cheers mate

It is 3 chords over and over. Easy song to play

@@Nazman06 but he made it very complicated..LOL

@@Nazman06 basketball is just ball in hoop. Easy to become pro amirite

@@Nazman06 Please post your video of you playing Simple Man,,,,, I’m waiting

Rappers are just as talented?... rap is "rhythm and poetry" and its just as much art as any other form of music.

Main stream stars sold their souls. DOVYDAS heals the soul.

@@justischristiansen9760agree it is an art form, and just like Yoko ONO's work..call it music if you want, but there is no musicianship on any of it. just computer programming and in her case..screaming..no thanks...give me a power trio any day.

@@gilbzmusic7186 are you insane? There's no musicianship in any rap? Are drummers musicians? Because that's rhythm. And rhythm is music. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not music you gatekeeping piece of shit.

Words to live by. Thx

Amen Son,....Amen!!

@@bodymanruss518 🤛🏾 ‘my Man’.

Yes there is

@@paularogers3549 I don’t know who or what is up above; all I do is acknowledge and pray to “what is up above”. Right or wrong, you can’t get much simpler than that. Be kind to someone today; ‘Someone up Above” knows we need it more than ever.

Gold jacket green jacket who gives a shit

@@krazeykat09mt priceless 🤣🤣

Omfg I am laughing so hard

shooter paid his dues

He eats pieces of $hit for breakfast

like forreal... his memorization is crazy

I don't want to take away from him or his skill, because he is amazing, but he's employing a tactic most of us in cover bands use, which is a chord book basically.

Lol

@@michaelcosta7235 haha,hey...ya gotta have tactics, right!?! 😁😅

No shit! Wasn't that amazing!

That's a genuine humble compliment. He killed this!

😂

This comment brings me joy along with dude jamming

Lol

Best comment I think I've ever read...instantly put a smile on my face...this made the dads day and as a parent sometimes little things like this means so much and will make a really hard day end on good note

You can feel the ekectrical impulse it grabs the you in.

@Fuck You This guy can turn any error into something better lol
