It would be really nice, if you write the BPM in the info and tabs. Behind of that, special thanks for your engagement.

[@SteveoTheRed]

I dont often comment BUT... You!! 'My Friend' are just my all time need. This is just the perfect inspiration to pursue my acoustic desire. Brilliant 👏👍🏻

[@donnatassa2018]

I loved this song when it first came out in 1984. It also was and still is my favorite video/ song of all time. You performed it beautifully. Thanks for the lesson. I hope I can do it the same justice. 🤞

Now that Joel can't teach Ellie anymore, this is how she practices

[@MrSkinnyWhale]

Lol yeah

[@ProdByCitizenCain]

The MTV Unplugged version(This one) is honestly the best change my mind

[@dermaajages]

same with Eric Claptons Layla

[@justinbaum6391]

Totally agree!

[@floydofnova2743]

Ellie's Version From LOU2 is also Really Good probably my favorite

No guys, its not the Deadpool song.. Its A-Ha - Take on me (Acoustic)

[@jhonkremer6425]

Exactly!

[@RefudDoo]

👍

[@carlosr3137]

Right...

[@zegeek1]

Which became popular thanks to that beautifull moment from the Deadpool 2 movie. I learn the hard way they replaced the music for the dvd version ...

[@badcornflakes6374]

@@zegeek1 it was already popular lol. Are you like 16?

[@josephbrewer7026]

I have to give you credit.. Usually I click out of a lesson when the host starts to sing as it can be unbearably bad, but you do a really nice vocal on this piece. Thanks for the video and lesson.

[@mariannelee1286]

I love when the guitarist starts singing, as fitting the vocals into the strumming is often the hardest part of the song. Doesnt mater how they sing, but I do agree, your voice is beautifull.

[@danielcampuzano8927]

That satisfying moment when I can say that Deadpool did not bring me here and I actually knew about this song beforehand but lemme take a second so say WOW YOU HAVE AND AMAZING VOICE! Thanks for the lesson:)

[@sillyshenanigans8613]

I think it's not that alot of people didn't know the song prior it's just he teaches it the same way it's played in the movie instead of the faster or original version but it's like perfect only one I could find like this

[@Lvl99paladin]

Thank you for taking the time to break that song down so well. Absolutely love this version of take on me. Please keep making videos!

[@GlennWidelkoYouTube]

WOW ... that was so totally amazing ... you are such a gifted musician ... as both a singer and guitarist ... you've really done this amazing song justice!! Thank you 🙏

Is that Captain Birdseye in the background, great playing and singing by the way

[@LoveBoatPirate]

It's either Captain Birdseye, or Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses!

[@LuisUrquizaperu]

Best acoustic cover heard so far....thanks for the video!

[@izzy153]

Excellent! I'll try it. Sounds great!

[@JoePadovano]

Found the acoustic version a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for an awesome tutorial.

[@DavidLaFerney]

Great job! When I heard your version I really liked it, but I didn't recall liking the original all that much. Checked it out and sure enough your cover is way better than the original - although you gotta admire that vocal range. Anyway - I love it - I'm learning it - thanks.

[@swiftlessons]

+David LaFerney hey David, thanks so much, I’m not sure if I deserve that compliment but I truly appreciate it. Yes, that vocal is incredible. The acoustic version doesn’t include the high note, luckily for me haha.

[@marcuspearce4519]

A happy medium between a cover and the unplugged, and can I as heck ever find an actual unplugged version tutorial. No. I bloody well can't.

[@drgn617112]

Great tutorial. Thank you and Your voice is awesome!

But dude, What we all really want to know is how to sing it like A-ha lol jk great tutorial, but in all seriousness more singing tutorials would be awesome!

[@swiftlessons]

+Daniel Loyd hey thanks for reaching out. Going to get to some singing tips soon. As for singing this like Morten Harket, I think it helps to be Norwegian? He has such a beautiful voice, and it’s tough to duplicate his world class vibrato, especially at such low volume. He is truly world class.

[@itachisasuke8658]

@@swiftlessons i like your voice too!! it's great :) waw i liked your interpretation we can feel these emotion that you put when you sing, great job again really Morten Harket would be proud!!!!!

[@jefffernandez4212]

I think my problem is... I lack the range even with falsetto. Need to find away around it that suits what I got.
