Behind Blue Eyes

Classic by The Who. Please forgive the shameless pandering at the beginning. Guitar is my modified Ibanez PF-512.

[@mariemenard4447]

One of my jobs has been to support kids in music as the teacher teaches. You are prodigious. There is a generosity in your music. I can tell that music just flows out of some deep well and you feel it. I think this is one of your older performances...not sure...butI know when I’m hearing something special, something that moves the human soul to a different place. I’m about 30 years older than you and I wish I could do a little bit of what you do. Since I can’t, I just want to say thanks for being so willing to share your passion so unabashedly. EM

[@robinwilkins6091]

Dude I grew up listening to this song. And I have to say I've never quite appreciated it so much. Love your rendition. Musical excellence as usual. And a bit of my era's passion with sad desperation. Well done.

[@jimiblackbeard6691]

Wow, ich bin begeistert. Toll gesungen und großartig gespielt. Egal, auch wenn das Video schon 8 Jahre alt ist. Gut bleibt gut! 👍👍👍 Das macht Lust meine eigene Ibanez Preformenc 12 String Mal wieder neu zu bespannen und zu spielen.

[@Madryn722]

You nailed all of the electric guitar nuances on the acoustic. Beautiful voice. Your emotions came through clearly on both voice and guitar. What a talent you are!

[@CR-zh8xj]

You have advanced so well since you recorded this 8 years ago. You keep better time (you've slowed down when needed), and you pay more close attention to detail. It has been a pleasure to watch you grow and expand your horizons. Your musical collaborations are top drawer. Thanks for the ride ... so Far! The best is yet to come!

[@3-dwalkthroughs]

Your passion to feel and incoroporate the cathatic mood and essence of this song, is much appreciated! Thank you and well done!

[@JosephusAD70]

As a Who fan since the 60s, I was blown away by this. Well done, Josh! Townsend would be proud.

[@Kevin041357]

Been all over the place, love what you do! Solo, duets and group, you got it kid...you got it!!

[@paula4718]

I can't get tired of seeing some of your videos. Good cover Josh, never stop improving

[@VCelvoy]

My man, your playing is unreal: such power and sweetness at the same time, this is music.

[@joeylawell3590]

Traffic flowing in the background. Show this to your kids some day 😂🎉 inspire them with the nostalgia

[@thomasmurphrey291]

Buckets of talent ! Truly gifted. Hope to hear more from this young man.

[@ritadighent]

this great Who number was a coming-of-age musical backdrop for me...amazing memories...great job!

[@scottyfingers517]

You are so talented Some of the songs bring tears to my eyes. Especially this song. You did a great job on it. I'm in awe of your talent.

[@danielalfonsomendezosorio1716]

This guy is very talented and I'm enjoying watching all of his amazing videos

[@federicotraeger2332]

Your guitar playing really flows. And you got a cool voice too.

[@hotcrabsncoldbeer]

That was a great performance! A friend of mine posted one of your videos last week on facebook. I've been hooked ever since. Life is better with music. Thank you, Kim

[@scolpitts]

Fantastic rendition! Always loved that song.

[@PianoSoulos]

You forgot to smash your guitar and rip apart your room at the end... :) Seriously, to match the technical nuisances of a master is incredibly difficult, I'm impressed you did so effectively. Nice job.

[@bjrutledge6108]

+PianoSoulos he didn't really mean nuisances... possibly NUANCES.

[@bigpoppa3020]

The Who had stopped doing that by 1971, when the albums this song is from came out.

[@faith8139]

Your videos brighten up my day. I love that you cover many types of music. God Bless!

[@carolgroves9347]

Wow great cover you’re musical talent is amazing. So impressive and enjoyable Josh !

[@jorgepardo7653]

Muy linda canción! Muy linda interpretación!

[@DavidLaFerney]

If a genie popped out of a bottle and granted me one wish it would be to have talent and ability like yours. Use it well.

[@elijahpickens]

ikr

[@willknapp1291]

David LaFerney don't wish for it, work for it

[@vkumarnegi]

its never too late

[@JimmyBongwater]

Will Knapp right everyone just wants shit handed to them instead of putting in the blood sweat and tears into it.

[@karsaurlong]

JimmyBongwater so what?

[@emmanuelbentahar3202]

man ! i just discover your channel today ! that's pure inspiration ! thx

[@davidday8417]

I must say this is truly awesome !! Great guitar work on that 12 string young man keep on keeping on !! Great control of your voice by the way !!

[@kristieroybal4888]

Enormously nifty to see Josh ROCK OUT! Especially seven years ago!

[@guchy2ndfloor]

You made this song so uplifting. Beautiful work!!

[@diaboloseven]

thank you Josh. barely a day goes past where i dont play this on guitar now, thanks to your version inspiring me.

[@rccurry2]

Great job Josh. I wish I could see you with the WHO and you and Pete do the song together.. Great job

[@bangaaquelaclips]

You're the best cause you play with your SOUL!!!!!!!! THE BEST ONE !!!!!!

[@1105renrut]

Love it as usual...especially love the guitar in this one! I'll try to pick up the EP later today!! Can't wait to hear it! I'll also share this with my friends on Facebook. They too will want to buy your newest EP!!

[@alleyoop96]

Just found your channel and am loving your covers - cheers from Portugal! (I know this is an old video but I`m a big The Who fan and this was spot on)

[@mollym2183]

one of my all time favs, your version is great

[@patrickjaroch5084]

So good, as i peruse your archives of stuff one of the things i think you do better than most is use a very wide dynamic range . your playing and singing are both top knotch. Keep the music coming.

[@vkumarnegi]

This brought me peace of mind after a rushy day !!

[@mtcpRS]

Man you're great! I love your energy and you play and sing with a lot of passion! I've seen your other videos and, well, you play a lot of instrument with your own personal stile and this is great! Keep going this way man, you're awesome!

[@christopherlynn6475]

As usual AWESOME!!! I've been a fan for a while now, and just had to say something. Your voice sounds a lot like Gerry Beckley from the 70's group AMERICA. I looked to see if you did a cover of AMERICA'S "I NEED YOU" couldn't find one. I would love to hear your version. I've enjoyed many of your videos and I'm still watching new ones I haven't seen. I'm glad to see in this day and time that someone still knows what real music is. Keep up the good work!!!

[@matthewconnolly5393]

Good job Josh nothing like thrashing away at the guitar in a Townsend style there is something liberating about it.

[@webbgraphics1437]

So Nice! And I love what you did with the bridge - most people who cover this are afraid of the bridge!

[@kozho4guitar]

Omg that 12 string guitar's tone is so warm and full ! It fits your singing perfectly! :)

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

Wow, Thanks so much for sharing Josh! Makes me want to learn this one!

[@ericzingapan2488]

what else can I say.....Fantastic... what a talent....nice job. keep on posting... What about Another day by sir Paul.

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

that was just fantastic. You have channeled the spirits of Daltry and Townsend.

[@spearmintt1342]

1000th like! Really great cover, wonderful work.

[@gregtreble9086]

you are such a great talent Josh well done mate keep up the excellent music.

[@azpunkydan]

Good job, as per usual. I just picked up the EP on Amazon too - sounds good!

[@jurassicblueberries4611]

you've got rock star qualities, I really enjoy all your vids.

[@joshbryan4659]

Super AWESOME JOB, I don't know what I was more impressed with the singing or the guitar..my brother i& step sister is trying to play guitar. You recommend giving them lessons lol!! Enjoy your singing!!

[@donnalucatese]

Simply amazing!

[@robertleJaxon4667]

great tribute to a great songwriter great job!

[@angjohnsyin9517]

The vocals are on point.

[@templare251993]

Great cover of a beautiful song, nice job!

[@akustickesrdce4690]

Fantastic & really inspiring cover...appreciate it man....

[@fanw8608]

You should put links to your albums in the description. You were awesome and are getting better.

[@MrDMF567]

This is so good dude! Amazing!

[@desy2478]

Great cover. I like the fill bits between the picking.

[@xXJocarioXx]

very nice version, nice interpretation, well sung, too :)

[@dougrasmussen5444]

Perhaps the greatest lesson I have learned in surfing for music on KZbin is that making an assumption of talent based on the appearance of the artist is a fool's errand.

[@knibbles1882]

I love this song, and I LOVE this cover! Awesome job! I agree that it might have been a little better if it were a step lower, but I absolutely love your voice, and you're such a talented musician! Keep up the great work!

[@maximedecourtilles6914]

Amazing ! pure vibes !

[@Sebastianvgo]

You are on point with the songs man. Congrats

[@charwest9449]

What a great talent!

[@jkim809]

Looks like the played key is standard tuning starting at Eb (down half a step). Or if you want to play the exact same way, tuned down to C#, capo 2.

[@alexrafael799]

Bela voz e toca muito beem! 👏👏😎

[@whos1st]

Hey - The Kid is Alright. You’ve done a great service to this classic.

[@lilbeedee]

Holy freakin' moley! You've out-Josh'd yourself with this one - bravo! I like seeing your more "forceful" playing here - way to go - do some more rockin' stuff! Yay, etc!

[@iluvguildguitars]

Awesome job, as usual, my friend.

[@Thisoneguyinaz]

Awesome cover man! Keep it up!

[@KGzSUPREME]

I just thought about restringing a 12 string guitar... scary

[@marklandis5794]

The same thing your friend said!

[@cooperarbogast4018]

If you look, his strings are pretty dirty, and I don't blame him at all for making them last as long as possible

[@robenmorgan7231]

Did you? Hooray!!!! Now, ...?

[@floydteter4323]

Pete himself should be proud of what you've done here.

[@jimbishop8667]

thank you this is where i come when i've seen all of the insane bull on you tube. It grounds me and renews my spirit, thanks again this is what music is for to restore the soul.

[@olmose]

Great job, love that song!

[@halak6033]

Awesome voice

[@JJKimChiman]

just bought "Novelty" and "The Other Favorites". Brilliant, worth the money.

[@EduardoSelegna]

Amazing how it only took me one of your videos to get me to subscribe (: good job!

[@Gigi13396]

#1. You look like Ferris Bueller in your opening promo :-) #2. Working on this tune right now - clearly I have a looooong way to go. #3. I am SO buying every piece of music you put out! #4. Are you touring? If not... get out there. You (and your friends) are a Tour de Force!

[@robinwilkins6091]

Me again. I'd so love to hear you do this with your own harmonies blended in.

[@cooperhopkins1]

Just found you on youtube. You're a killer musician!

[@OnTheWhistle]

Great choice going with the 12-string here. Is that what they used in the original recording? either way the sound fits perfectly. Awesome job with this one

[@user-df1nk2vv1p]

My favourite version on this song

[@btpearce]

Great as usual. I dig the waving cat in the background in the beginning :-)

[@applewhiteroad]

fantastic man! you are one talented dude!

[@uncle-andy-guitar-herbst]

Good job. Great song.

[@SamjoHagerty]

You're the real deal brother! Well done!

[@Threestaves]

hey josh, you never disappoint, very nice

[@ralex3697]

Talented man Josh !

[@connor25]

Great cover Josh, keep it up!

[@sland67]

Great job! You nailed it!

[@SuperKre3d]

great dynamic

[@crazyhydraful]

looks like i finally came upon some music which is not auto-tuned and i like it!kinda different from the original,a lil bit happier perhaps?

[@johanrojassoderman5590]

"My love is vengeance" -->"I love engines" I think KZbin confuses The Who with Queen...

[@historicus146]

so it is Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hendrix tuning...down a half. I dont get the tune down, capo up...... Anyhow, great talent at work.....thanks Josh.

[@donniemoder1466]

Amazing guitar!

[@HUNTERWRENNMusicvlogz]

Wow.. wow.. wow.. wow.. great frekin job!!

[@bruceholmes4476]

Hey Josh, I'm laughing at some of the comments ("play on guitar in wrong way"). You're obviously a very talented guitarist. Your singing is fine. You're doing great work. If you lived in Illinois I'd want to work with you. You've got a future in this business.

[@TheGhost5600]

Everytime this extremely talented kid uploads a video all the jealous no talent critics come out of the woodwork. Josh...Don't let them get to you, Keep those great tunes coming.

[@ronjenkins6674]

As my friend would say "Nailed It!!"

[@Havedy]

so good.

[@downhill240]

Some mighty fine pickin' and singin' here!

[@ryanfink1029]

When u cover this song u have to play the chorus with a hopeful sprit. Most sing it with depressing tone misinterpreting the song. Josh nails it
