[@2012TheJaffy]

C est incroyable comme il joue et chante bien avec l intonation de monsieur Brassens.

[@joguitac]

J'hallucine complet, Josh tu chantes très bien le Français avec un très jolie accent ! Avec cette reprise de G.Brassens tu vas te faire beaucoup de copain Français, il est très aimé ici ! L'accompagnement de la contre basse est excellente, un grand bravo à tous les deux ! It's very very nice, congratulation ! Jo

[@bennemann]

joguitac Il a dit dans la description de la vidéo qu'il n'a jamais eu de leçons de français. Donc, il n'a compris rien de ce que vous avez écrit. You can always try writing it in English though :)

Bonjour ! Depuis la France, nous passons de nombreuses soirées à vous écouter vous et vos amis au travers de vos publications KZbin , , et nous admirons votre talent ! bravo !

[@catherinealcaraz4176]

Georges Brassens le grand et vous chantant cette formidable chanson en parfait français. Bravo jeune homme

[@robinool]

I'm French guitarist and i live in Sète in south of france (the Brassens's city), and I'd like to tell that your french accent is really nice!!!!! enormous!! congrat

[@historicus146]

I saw you in Paris, about 1933 with my friend Ernest, ....Hemmingway. We were on the way to Madrid for the bull fighting...you were in a small cafe off the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.. You do remember your previous life do you not? Your talent makes me believe in reincarnation. I'll bet you were born knowing how to tie a bow tie.....too!

[@henrileroy409]

I was there, listening to Django Turner. Greatest evening ever ! :)

[@caldarelle]

Bonjour Josh, je regarde et écoute tes vidéos, depuis environ deux heures, avec beaucoup de plaisir. Je joue de la guitare aussi mais pas si bien que toi J'ai été très surpris et intrigué de voir un jeune américain reprendre cette chanson qui passait à la radio quand j'avais 6 ans. J'en ai 58 maintenant. Georges Brassens avait la particularité de rouler le RRRR dans sa diction. Il avait sans doute garder l'accent de sa région natale, le pays de Sète dans le sud de la France. Cela n'a pas échappé à ton excellente oreille et m'a beaucoup amusé Bravo pour ton éclectisme et merci de nous faire partager tes excellents choix musicaux etle plaisir que tu répands avec tes amis excellents chanteurs et musiciens. Je suis rassuré de voir qu'aux états unis il n'y a pas que des "rappers", car c'est souvent cette image qu'on nous donne à la tv par exemple. Thank you for this. Thierry from France.

[@kwamg9786]

Woo ! Great ! Rouler les "R" comme Brassens ça doit être particulièrement difficile pour un anglophone mais tu le fais très bien !

[@JuneFlower88]

So here it is. Now we French fellows can understand how much you involve in your videos. It must be crazy long sessions of listening and paying attention to the slightest detail, when I see how flowing your French is here, and knowing that you can't even speak the language. You even recreated the rolling r's that are very specific to George Brassens and give the vintage touch. Congratulations, really! Will show the video to my dad who's a big fan of Brassens. Also, your voice sounds so different in French. It's always the case but it's very surprising! I thought it sounded a bit like the main character's in Miyazaki's last film The Wind Rises ;D

[@0nePiece98]

Very good remark concerning the 1960's french "R", many people pronounced it like this, De Gaulle might be one of the most famous examples of this

[@aumenarys]

@@0nePiece98 Et Edith Piaf ?! Le R roulé est beaucoup plus vieux que ça, il suffit d'écouter n'importe quelle chanson enregistrée avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour s'en rendre compte. D'ailleurs je trouve que peu d'artistes des années 60 l'utilisaient encore.

[@dave_dennis]

I noticed the rolling R's as well and thought it was a very nice attention to detail.

[@Dr_Do-Little]

Bravo! George Brassens is quite a diction challenge when French is your native language. And you even roll the R! Two thumbs up. 👍👍

[@bretttempleman5373]

Just when I think Josh cannot surprise me any more with his amazing talent up pops a perfect French vocal. Mind blown again

[@luc8121]

MAN OMG ! I'm french and I've been following you for years, always told that you had a great talent. Now, I just checked some tuto to play some songs of our national "Tonton George" and I see you made a version of it. The music is awesome with the Alex's Bass, your voice is excellent and your accent so like Brassen's. Man I'm so happy rn haha, go on Josh!

[@jeanpierredussol3558]

Très belle interprétation

[@anuamotua]

[@mysterx4931]

Sublime ! Admiration depuis la France. Oui Brassens était très jazzy et là ton interprétation est remarquable ! Je suis de plus en étonné par ton génie Josh.

[@jerrymanas671]

Wow, I'm stunned! For a young American dude to channel George Brassens like that (not to mention a bit of Django) and then pull off flawless Pink Floyd, Beatles, and other classic rock covers is unreal! I've traveled and worked in France quite often and I thought I was the only American familiar with George Brassens! Plus I have a Gitane D-500, but it doesn't sound like that when I play! Well done!

[@Apoula73]

omg, your french is amazing for a guy who never took a lesson!

[@hologramh]

I think because he is musician. So, he can identify the correct sound of the language. Just a theory! :)

[@buddybellwether2188]

+hologramh I agree wholeheartedly! I say that because, I can do the same thing (although I'm about 1/128th the musician that Josh is ...ok more like 1/1000th).

[@johnnyconner4184]

@@hologramh Yes. I believe you might be onto something there...

[@Voirreydirector]

Johnny Conner I think it is pretty good for a certain style, you hear the style enough, it helps with pronunciation. I would be very careful, Billy Joel once got in trouble foisting his French on a French audience, they can be a little touchy. Good job guys.

[@johnnyconner4184]

@@Voirreydirector LOL Right you are! ;-D Although... I've always found it odd that we native speakers of English here on the North American continent seem almost unanimously to find newly arrived Europeans on our soil to have quaint, charming accents when they try to speak our language (even badly); BUT put the shoe on the other foot and one will discover -- more often than not -- that an American or Canadian who bravely tries to communicate, particularly in French, whilst visiting Europe will not get much help at all; and by 'help', I mean being polite and kindly ignoring the mistakes in grammar or pronunciation that inevitably WILL occur with the attempt. Perhaps consideration can't be applied so readily when it comes to music. For me personally, I can say that it's always been about communication -- period. Although a linguistic mistake can sometimes distract the mind a bit from the performance of the song, I certainly don't feel that it detracts from the beauty of the whole.

[@jeez11110]

Je suis tombé sur une de tes vidéos hier, et aujourd"hui je tombe sur ça, et c'est juste magnifique ! Bravo ! Brassens était un ami de ma famille et cela fait plaisir de voir des gens lui faire hommage partout dans le monde ! Merci, continue :)

[@tommyjcoogan]

Amazing,seems like you can play anything, banjo, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, fiddle, mandolin,and loads more.How did you become so brilliant at such a young age? Jazz, rock, classical, blues, country and much more.You make the guitar talk and sing in a different language. You are the most complete musician Regards from Dublin

[@deborahchapman222]

You missed a few. Josh plays 25 instruments. Josh played a Sinatra. It was spooky. I could he was mouthing the words and Sinatra was actually singing. 😱. Josh is totally incredible.

[@soulkass]

I'm french and trust me, you have a nearly perfect accent... I think you're the only american who can pronounce the 'r' right. great vid
