Can't Find My Way Home - Blind Faith (acoustic cover)

TUTORIAL: / coreyheuvel
WEBSITE: coreyheuvel.com
**Recorded January 2022**
This one is long overdue. A great song written and sung by Steve Winwood with Blind Faith, alongside Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. I didn't stray too far from the original here but I do prefer the tuning down a half-step and its nice to hear it solo with just one guitar. I hope you enjoy!

This guy simply put is one of the best in the world, you’re witnessing someone who’s dedicated a lifetime to the journey

[@bovisjeaks]

I basically spend all my free time searching KZbin for solo acoustic guitar music and as yet I haven't found anybody better than Corey. Love his arrangements. Massive talent.

[@jimbingham9329]

I live in Minnesota. A local hero in the twin cities is a guy named Dean Magraw. Check out is song "Foxfire Kilnamona". Check him out

[@MarkPillows]

Nathan Wesley art,

[@duelenigma7732]

I agree . Finger style acoustic has been my love for 55years of playing . Corey is fantastic , keeps my faith which tends to wain lately . Beautiful voice .

[@bovisjeaks]

@@jimbingham9329 I will, thanks.

[@bovisjeaks]

@@MarkPillows Thanks.

[@jodyalberts3]

Steve W would be proud. Very nice work. Love the rendition.

[@Anne6621]

takes a lot to impress me and takes even more to captivate me and this young man has done just that , outstanding cover

[@dxdelafu]

That is perfection on that song. Every note, both singing and on that guitar, is spot on! Well done.

[@markmcevoy6245]

I came to see your guitar playing re: this song, and stayed for your voice... omg, well done!!

[@patrickbrien9513]

Shit mate that’s probably the best cover I’ve ever ever heard. Take my hat off to you sir

[@mikehaugen7759]

Stumbled upon this video on a lazy Sunday looking for songs to learn. Got a rush of electric goosebumps from my head to my feet listening to this vocal mastery. I would love to be able to sing like this. Great guitar playing as well. Keep up the great work! 🎸🎤

[@seeksthetruth73]

Probably the best solo cover I have ever heard of this song. Your voice is perfect and your guitar style is impeccable.

[@viktormedina4631]

My god, this is so beautiful. Perfect, absolutely perfect cover. Well, of course. It's Corey Heuvel!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@wildrosecece]

I was mesmerized by your fingering. I think I learned the song in my head. That is such a beautiful song.

[@snudge9626]

Corey you sing and play guitar beautifully. This is the sort of music you could crank up in the car going down the motorway.

[@jozefkoval3788]

Super cover, reminds me my youth, Steve Winwood, Cream, Blind Faith etc.

[@RonaldBuro-oc2sl]

Probably the best combination of right on acoustic tone and skill with just the right song and voice. Beautiful.

[@wynnmac6656]

I’ve loved this song for as long as I can remember and never expected to hear a cover that was worthy of a second listen. Cory respects the original with this cover but he also adds his own creative touch and it’s sounds so good. What a talent.

[@themannymouse]

That falsetto opening is exquisite.

[@swain00420]

Corey is amazing by all means, feeling low, put this dude on he can put a smile back on your face. Love this dude!!

[@Dogasaurus]

Very few vocalists out there who have the soulful smoke in their lower voice & that pure ethereal quality on the high end like Winwood. Corey does. Perfect song for him to cover & make his own. That was unbelievabubble .Lovely intricate pickin', too.

[@chadgrabner4136]

Yo yo yo fellas of the CvH fan club, damn I miss the Friday nights we spent, 3hrs nonstop, watching Corey do his magic. Peace and love to all!

[@armchairastrologer1858]

Ditto amigo!

[@stanleykostrzewski7222]

Ditto ..... again.

[@gmtb8014]

Your picking and vocal styles are incredible.

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

This is such a powerful song and your version celebrates every bit of the emotion that it was created with! 👏👏👏

[@jackflash5659]

Corey that was fabulous. Love the passion and emotion you displayed. Best cover of this wonderful song I have ever heard. I'm sure Eric and Steve would be proud. Keep on Rockin' man!

[@maximusretrievers]

Corey, Absolutely beautiful. I see this was recorded in 2022. I recall not long ago you’d shared a life-changing new journey. I hope that’s moving in the best way per your desire. 3:48

[@Stormz.0]

MY GUY! Selfishly glad you aren’t in a Buddhist monastery yet so we can listen to your incredible skills at least one more time.

[@pjgarret7653]

Vocals just soar and keep getting better and better. Fantastic, Corey. And the crisp strings - a never fail. 👍

[@davidrawlings6430]

With all due respect Corey, the guitar tone was the star of the show. Damn

[@Tusitala1967]

I hope your path is clear, Corey; wherever or whatever home is to you.

[@hobbywright8495]

Bro, you deserve a few more zeros in your number of watched and subscribed. Bravo!!

[@robstewart4702]

Just amazing Corey. Your covers are so often better than the original. This is no exception and you're covering super group artists here. Your guitar is just pure and your beautiful voice is so clear. I've really enjoyed listening to your voice mature over the years like a great rich red wine.

[@brianwells4507]

Not a bad rendition considering that was an acoustic guitar duo between Steve and Eric? Kudos ❤

[@jessethetodd]

One of the best covers I've ever seen. That is absolutely incredible. Impeccable hybrid picking, keeping the rhythm moving steadily the entire time, and man those vocals are incredible. Bravo. I could listen to this on repeat for hours.

[@eddbrown5498]

You make every song your own wow epic job dude I love it.

[@stanleykostrzewski7222]

What a brilliant cover of an iconic and timeless song 🎵 👏

[@mennobults6464]

Fantastic. I need to hear more of Corey.

[@heatherpaz730]

Omg I’m so glad you’re still here doing this. Needed it today- emotional release. Fantastic cover- virtuoso acoustic, vocals carrying the original mood with intensity and passion.

[@topfeedcoco]

Really good cover man! Clean af guitar and fantastic vocals in the original Stevie Winwood range, yet unique. Glad this popped up, one of the best covers I found 2023, you made it on the buzzer! Thank you.

[@user-su2hy1ny1w]

This Song Breaks my Heart every time😭 And it is oddly fitting to my current situation. 🙏🤷🏻‍♀️❤️

[@Nevada343]

You truly capture the soul of the song, thank you!!

[@JH-tz8jr]

Simply Perfect Corey! One of my favourite songs delivered absolutely beautifully. Thank you. I watch many very good guitarists on KZbin who play and provide lessons and they are all good in their own right but in my view, you are the best. You have amazing talent!!

[@victorp4083]

perfection has a new meaning

[@GregMcNeish]

I was just working on learning this song YESTERDAY, and boom, here you are with a gorgeous cover.

[@rfoliveira1975]

One of my all time favorites!😊

[@michaellacy8510]

A good friend, long gone now, used to play this one. Great to remember that. Thanks.

[@kareeme7]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Always a gift to hear you play and sing.

[@TonyMouawad]

Love where you went with your vocals on this! That warm acoustic guitar tone compliments your voice perfectly.

[@BrianWenbergMusic]

Great cover!!! I'm glad that you're still posting videos.

[@stevejohnson238]

Absolutely amazing!

[@DoctorMandible]

Nicely done! Love that 00-15 sound!

[@practicerepo]

Nice to see you playing again Corey - even it was done back in 22. 😜 How have you been. Hopefully wishing, you don't abandon your music to seek the light and find the truth. Life here on earth is way too short anyways - if there is life after death, the truth will come eventually ... so I'll try to enjoy the time I have now. If not, then I guess it never mattered anyway. As long as I try to be the best person I can, to make those around me happy in my own little world.

[@gtnmnn54]

Steve winwood Is proud of you🔥

[@jhandle4196]

Dude, I wish I could still reach those notes. Such a pretty song it is; one could just keep playing those chords for eternity. Thanks for keeping this music alive.

[@mariamignone1530]

[@marcd1981]

Thank you very much for posting this, Corey. I am on a journey back to playing guitar after 40 years of not playing at all, so watching a hundred guitar videos will get some different recommendations, such as this gem. You were fantastic singing and playing.

[@RickHardcore]

Very well played and nice singing my friend!!!

[@Billy6973]

What a pleasant surprise to wake up to. Corey, thank you for the work and practice and talent. You put into one of my favorite lifelong songs. I think a lot of people feel this song is autobiographical that’s the popularity and ability to relate. I’ve never heard anyone cover it so well. Thank you and play on brother.

[@thomasfi1275]

Beautiful

[@barrycowden2336]

A brilliant vocal performance, what range and power! The guitar is always stellar but that was I think your best vocals. Good vibes on your journey Corey and thank you for your gift of music☮️

[@darko714]

Fuck yeah! I played bass on a cover of this like a hundred years ago with a female singer named Fern Meyerowitz. RIP. It rocked. I wish l still had the tape.

[@seanbford]

Masterful!

[@jeffdible8171]

Divine talent! Thanks for that. I needed that today.

[@professordeb]

Wow, just fabulous! Hat's off! ❤

Only two words: Thank you !

[@TheFlameTop]

It's on another level, the level of the record !

[@rockthakazbah2716]

yeah dude! ya murdered that cover!

[@tpaine1968]

Very nice..vocal and guitar is outstanding…great song….

[@TheFlameTop]

Corey, Hey man, what I get the most out of your efforts here , is that your playing style and ability is a reflection that is a product of having an incredible `Listening Ear' ! It's like for those of us who endured through a time of great loss in the year 1969, you replace a little bit back ! Your vocals sing in tribute to those we left behind also I thought. Great cover! LIKED'

[@TheBarklioni]

Amazing 👏

[@StephenWatson-bk7cw]

Awesome & also amazing vocals! A+👍

[@tomhepner5118]
