Everybody Wants to Rule the World || Solo Acoustic Guitar Cover (with vocals!!)

[@austinwinters3281]

By far the best cover of this song I've heard

[@LukeWalstead]

Thank you!

[@kinzowolff773]

This was a killer cover!❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Thank you!

@@LukeWalstead Just came across this 7 months later and still an insane cover

[@JayLyonns]

Well, that was damn good. Great version.

[@LukeWalstead]

Thank you!

[@Acoustic_Music-h6x]

Nailed it! Best solo performance of this song on KZbin. Which loyalty cards/credit cards are the most acoustically resonate?

[@LukeWalstead]

Hahaha what a question! None of them.

[@Acoustic_Music-h6x]

@@LukeWalstead It looked like you had one under the strings on that guitar.

[@LukeWalstead]

@Acoustic_Music-h6x it's a Nepalese rupi that I laminated to make a pickguard.

[@LukeWalstead]

And I should add, I did that because it was something my grandparents brought back from their world travels and it's a way to remember them. I like unique appointments and decorations on instruments, if they're tastefully done.

[@Tasha_Nicole]

Great cover!!

[@LukeWalstead]

Thank you!

[@timothyruff4478]

I can only guess how much blood sweat and tears went into learning this. If this was a single take, you are one of the best singer-guitarists alive. Inspiring.

[@LukeWalstead]

It was one single continuous take. Not my first take 🤣 but it was one take, no editing, no pitch correction. Just a little EQ.

[@singandplaytoday]

@@LukeWalstead Man, I freaking love that pedal note with the octaves. To think--most acoustic covers don't even give a second thought to breaking out the bass from the rest of the mix. I hope you're having an awesome start to your new year, Luke. Cheers!

[@LukeWalstead]

Thank you, I appreciate it when other players know how much I've put into an arrangement! I've got a couple sweet covers coming up, stay tuned!

[@jonkeniston6862]

You need more view. This is insane.

[@LukeWalstead]

Thank you!

[@lenhumbird]

Wow, that was unexpectedly good! Great fingerstyle and singing!

[@LukeWalstead]

Thank you!

[@clairietalentscout1680]

Listening to you, I now know what I was missing out in life.

[@LukeWalstead]

So, what's that then?

[@clairietalentscout1680]

This was insanely good! 😀 the guitar alone was incredible sound. Inspirational level 💯

[@LukeWalstead]

Thank you!

[@UnveiledSmile09]

You should make a cover of Wicked Game by Chris Isaak 😊

[@JohnDoe-f8q]

Amazing cover! What's the card thing under the strings?

[@LukeWalstead]

Thank you! It's Nepali one rupee note that my grandparents brought back from Nepal many years ago. I laminated it and glued it to my guitar as a pickguard.

[@Alex-pz3gt]

Awesome! What guitar is that ?

[@LukeWalstead]

Thanks! It's a Bedell guitar. I own the only two I've ever seen in person, I'm hoping some day to get an endorsement from them.
