Jake Allen's music has a very distinctive sound to it...vocals complemented with confident and authoritative instrumentals. Just beautiful. Wish more people would listen to his music; his compositions are highly intellectual.

[@HollowSoundOfMelody]

Thanks a lot for the kind words Shaswat!

[@shaswatsaincher4641]

@@HollowSoundOfMelody You're welcome. Keep making beautiful music. 😊

[@nebula_M42]

Man.. you make music that flows. That continuous bass line mixed with the guitar arpeggios and the subtle sounds, the vocals, it all arranges perfectly.

[@THEKIDWISCONSIN]

Jake needs just one break...and he'll blow up. There's absolutely no reason he shouldn't be bigger than he is now...ultra talented and as someone noted below...a very distinct (and incredible) sound. Since stumbling on him in a bar in Scottsdale 5 or 6 years ago...always looking forward to some more Jake Allen. Keep grinding young man!

[@kellydown9816]

you are right. this guy should be mainstream. he's frick'en great!

[@stanleywilliamsbigdreams7867]

I don’t remember which event led me to discovering Jake, his name was on a website talking about his appearance somewhere. But once I heard him I have been blown away with the playing, singing, songwriting and arranging. When things clear up and Jake comes anywhere near Kalamazoo, I’m coming even if I miss work!

[@eethvamp]

Really good production value and him and his band sound amazing! I'm going to see him in concert tonight! My aunt and uncle are friends with him.

[@IamBillH8]

Kinda ridiculous that you can play that riff and sing like that at the same time!!! Freaking amazing!!!

[@stevek4928]

yes I was wondering about that as well

[@ezylyric]

I love this song. You got really good after time and for a moment i drifted in space and had no thoughts. Beautiful work

[@brianhayashi7267]

One of the best songs I have ever heard. And from someone I call a Friend! Congratulations Jake. You're amazing Duder!

[@OnBendedKneeMusic]

All I can say is, wow.

[@SusanAStevens]

love this Jake and all players brilliant .... great song your going places Jake Hope its a great ride.....

[@stevek4928]

Very unique style - smooth music easy to listen to. At this point I can't decide which I want to hear more of, the playing or the singing. Eventually one will take over. A win win for everybody...

[@tallstrom]

So good and refreshing Jake! Keep making great music :)

[@CHRISTIANSUSBILLA]

Whew... 😊

[@247Progrock]

Jake, great work, I hope you find traction with your amazing talents!

[@kellydown9816]

Absolutely agree. I just found Jake Allen today from the Takamine marketing web site. This guy is outstanding. I'll be following you brother! (yes i'm a guitar playing dude btw)

[@scottfishkind5335]

Jake, I actually discovered you during a commercial while I was waiting to watch something else. I almost always hit the SKIP button but I was so blown away by your music I listened through and then searched out your other videos. I already have "Deviant Motions" in my shopping cart on amazon and will be ordering it on the 15th of this month. I actually sent the link to my girlfriend to check out as soon as I listened through to this song! I'm a professional musician myself (Berklee grad 1981), a singer songwriter living in Nashville since 1992,. Keyboard is my main instrument but I also play guitar (though not yet at the same level as piano/keyboard). What impressed me so much about your musicianship is not only your technical mastery on guitar but the emotion in your music. Your singing and songwriting are also brilliant as well! I've been sharing your videos on my FB page so my other musician and other friends can learn about you if they haven't already been fortunate enough to hear you. Keep up the great work and I will definitely keep my eyes and ears open for what you'll be doing with your music!

[@HollowSoundOfMelody]

Wow, thanks for the message Scott! I appreciate the kind words. I'm in Nashville quite a bit so maybe I'll see you there sometime.

[@scottfishkind5335]

That would be great! I'd love to see you perform if you're in the area. My girlfriend also loved the song and I'm sure she'd love to go with me to see you!!

[@rong648]

I think it's great that you reply to the comments, I will have to listen to more of your music.

[@HollowSoundOfMelody]

Thanks Ron!!

[@egbnghb2416]

Hi Jake Allen

[@melodygeeks3917]

Awesome Work! Your guitar can touch my soul so easily! You might be not aware but Loving how 0:15 is similar to Final Fantasy 13 Battle theme. Glad that I found you! ( ops I actually mean that on your song "Bridges"

[@HollowSoundOfMelody]

Thanks! Love the FFXIII connection :)

[@nicholasmessina4925]

Can you show people how to play this? I’m trying to learn by ear and having some trouble. Anyways I would love to learn to play

[@tharindunr11]

The tuning he's used is E, C, G, D, A, E from 1st to 6th. with capo on the first fret. try now :)

[@AFloodofSolaceJohnWhigham]

I ran across this video because of Tyler at Sweetwater. I saw where he mentioned this group in his bio, so being a fan of Tyler’s (great guy) I just had to check you guys out!! Wow. Fresh, beautiful and soothing song that is really well written. I subscribed!! Thank you for your hard work and thanks Tyler.

[@andrewarmes665]

What's the tuning? You referenced an Andy McKee song but I'm unfamiliar, thanks!

[@HollowSoundOfMelody]

EADGCE Capo 1

[@AFloodofSolaceJohnWhigham]

That’s unique.
