Still get chills hearing that ending solo lick just as the screen goes to black and I just watched the greatest TV series of all time thank you for this amazing cover

[@mikeeckhart]

Thanks for watching!

[@FernandoFernandez_192]

I hear you. Instead of getting chills, I get tears down my face every time that part sounds.

I swear, music KZbinrs will make awesome covers/original music and then get no recognition This needs more attention, nice job

[@mikeeckhart]

Thanks!

[@FernandoFernandez_192]

I'm surprised this has so little views, it's very well played, without any mistakes, and the video quality is awesome, so you can easily tell what's being played and thus making it a perfect reference for people that wants to learn how to play it. Very nice job man.

[@mikeeckhart]

Thanks for the kind words, Fernando. Cheers!

[@geryloftis7985]

Excellent job you nailed it, not an easy piece due to the whole song requires using bar chords also vocals challenge the the best vocalists

[@markfrost2707]

because its not how its played. its played with a capo

[@captinbeyond]

This song made Badfinger my fav band in the early 70's. Great song then and never get tired of it.

[@SimpleLife1971]

Badfinger was one of my favorite bands back in the day, it was terrible to see what happened to such a great band. So much talent and such a heartbreaking and tragic end.

[@laurenw963]

Tragic

[@MrClean3019]

it saddens me so much to think about it

[@BarneeFife]

Agreed. Baby Blue and Day After Day, along with others. The other that I would always look forward to on the radio is Skylarks (with the prolific David Foster) ‘Wildflower’ which you can be assured will regain some popularity as soon as it’s put on a show or movie.

[@aw3412]

[@micheleparker8123]

Excellent, young man. Can't express how much I love this song from my youth and you do it justice. Thank you for showing me just how it's done!💖

Thanks Michele, glad you enjoyed the video!

Fabulous, thank you. I’ve loved that song for what must be nearly fifty years now and you played it really well. Spot on!

Thanks Keith!

My hair stands on end listening to this. Surely one of the greatest pop riffs ever. Well done 👏

Outstanding. In my 68 years I have played keyboards, drums and guitar. So I know a little bit about music. And you sir have hit the proverbial nail on the head. Spot on start to finish. I am in awe of your talent. The late great Pete Ham would definitely approve. Continued great success from a fan in suburban Chicago.

[@mikeeckhart]

Thanks so much, Bob! Appreciate the comment, keep on playing!

[@gtrpkr2487]

Always been my favorite Badfinger song.

[@plasteredandcastered6820]

Yes, I will say the same as everyone else here. Very, very, good. Just like the recorded version. That is a compliment!

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

DUDE ! THAT WAS MOST EXCELLENT !

Excellent Eckhart!

[@lylealexson8680]

Great job! I love the guitar piece in this song. Especially the last riff. A perfect ending to the story.

[@soylodandar4487]

you did an amazing job, sounds so good. The song itself is also just a perfect song, just so well constructed and just one of the "perfect" songs. They really were in their prime when they wrote and recorded this song.

[@deckles100]

Awesome job! One of my all time favorite songs!!! Thanks for posting!

[@justinekaiser7740]

great stuff best version I've heard , don't have a tab handy by any chance , beers on me

[@basilbcf]

Very nice cover of one of my favorites songs.

[@roberttrautwein1260]

Interesting playing the F# at that position. The voicing sounds about the same as playing it at the fourth fret. Really nice and spot on playing!

[@markfrost2707]

lol...because the actual recoding used a capo at the 4th

[@edpoe1108]

Nice tone, bends and sustain! Well done.

[@plweis7203]

Just brilliant. Thank you

[@coreymihailiuk5189]

That was absolutely bang on! Well done. Thanks for showing us exactly how it's done.

[@mikeeckhart]

Thanks Cory! I want to be clear, however, that this is just a cover of the song; my way of playing it. In no way do I claim that this is how it is played on the recording. Only those who recorded it can truly know how it is played! Cheers!

[@kevlec1947]

how did you get that awesome tone with a strat? Great cover!

[@mikeeckhart]

Thanks for the message, prepare to be underwhelmed! I wish I could describe a more impressive rig for this but it's a Fender/Roland CG-1 with a DiMarzio Area 61 in the bridge, going into a dinky Marshall MG10. If I used a boost on the solo it was probably a PlimSoul. Cheers!

very good, my friend.

[@stevesteve1198]

Well I learned to play this song on the fourth fret with a capo and it sounds perfect also. But this guy is fantastic and who needs a capo right? Well done lad it sounds just like the record

[@Henry3Studios]

You need a capo for the two acoustic parts as otherwise it contains lots of finger gymnastics and you can’t get the sustain you want on some chords

[@ronraby4561]

Bad to the bone ,well done man

[@mikeeckhart]

Thank you Ron!

[@goldog2816]

I've seen this song played all over the neck but you're positions sound the best, great tone too .......

[@mikeeckhart]

Thank you!

[@bluecamus5162]

I saw Rick Beato (a man I respect) play this capo'd on 4 as he was convinced he was hearing open strings being played on the walk-down. There's also a version capo'd on 2. But I'm convinced this version is best and true. Sounds marvelous.

[@mikeeckhart]

@@bluecamus5162 It is definitely easier to play with the capo, this is just how I choose to. Thanks!

[@chicomarchesini8417]

i would like you to write for me what is the name of This pedal you used to make the Badfinger sound and what is its brand ok

[@paulpasternak2026]

no regrets- just miss you dix...

[@victoryridin]

You are one of the very few that played it exactly like the recording. All bar chords which is no simple task. I tried and can't do it. I cheat and use a capo. Well played my friend!
