Just 2 questions: 1) Why KZbin recommend me this video in 2020 2) Why it's sounds so awesome

[@TheRealVsauce]

1) idk, Google started as "don't be evil" then they sold waaaaaaaaay out, why anything evil does what it does idk bc I'm pro-humanity and good for good ... 2) beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so too is the aesthetic of harmony.

This is so good. Really, my favorite cover of this song. Such a beautiful tone you create with your playing and vocals. Wonderful performance, hard driving groove and flawless timing.

[@MattRustlol]

Pitch perfect. Seriously, haven't found a video that hasn't been yet. Also impressed with how much guitar work you do while vocalising, I have a huge habit of simplifying the shit outta things when I'm doing both. Well done, you gangster!

Makes you think off all them years that has passed your way, people you knew, feelings or thought you had about everything, the future. Miss them alot, miss listening to Offspring, I havent been listening to them in more than 15 years or so. thats crazy!! I guess I wanted to say that Your cover really got to me, thanks for reminding me how cool and moving that song really is. Offspring members might get older, but their music will never change, I think I just got that. Thanks this really really only brought great memmories back!! #1

[@HamkkeTogether]

I always think people who can play guitar and sing at the same time are really talented. I "can" do both but not at the same time without messing my guitar notes or chords.

[@DirdyJoker]

Keep at it. I remember the first song i learned on acoustic was Hey There Delilah and I always thought I'd never be able to play and sing. But after practicing over time, it just kinda happened. Since then I've been able to play and sing a lot of songs. I'm sure you'll be able to do it someday too and when you do you're gonna have a lot of fun :) Good luck!

[@D00MLOORD]

I takes a lot of determination. In the beginning it seems humanly impossible, but then the neurons form and all of a sudden it just works. Keep it up and you'll get there!

[@achap42]

Well, thank you. But seriously just keep plugging away, you’ll get it. I’m entirely self taught, and I decided very early to develop that skill. Strumming and singing is much easier to do and to cover up any mistakes while playing. 15 years of off and on guitar playing and 1 year of singing lessons, and I can FINALLY sing while picking. Some things come easy, some things take years of work; if it’s something you’re interested in then keep trying

[@dillardjohnson9103]

Brain Stew by Green Day is a great place to start too.

[@alexfarnham1974]

It really is all practice. Especially when it’s a song you’re just learning. What I like to do is learn the guitar part and vocals separately, then combine them. I usually learn vocals first, since I’ve been singing for longer and it comes more naturally to me, but that’s just how I am.

[@decsta82]

I saw them play at a festival a few years after this album came out (guessing 2000, X Fest in Somerset, WI?). The entire electronics system and lights went out during this song. The future was not so bright. Nicely done, by the way.

[@chesswithjokes]

@@rawesome1000 Man you get extra credit, I forgot the name of that place at least 10 years ago. But amazingly enough, I looked it up and it WAS the year Def Leppard and Motorhead played, but it was 1999. Mason Jennings played too, which is really weird. The lineup is really funny to look at now (Buckcherry!), but I remember watching the Cake set as the sun went down and everyone threw their pizza boxes in the air, that was killer.
