[@topseykretts7608]

I don't think people commenting even begin to understand the level of difficulty it is to play like that. This girl is loaded with talent. She's not only playing the song...she's actually playing the vocal melody over the pattern of the song....world class!!

[@davidkepke1435]

Topsey Kretts Yes to that. People who have spent time learning songs appreciate it on a deeper level and know how long it takes to get it down just right. That song has some very deep lyrics, which together with the music just has genius written all over it.

[@Koroar]

So true, until you actually try it it's hard to grasp how hard it is, not even remotely like playing a chord sequence or even your average solo, it's the two combined.

[@fredmogers5738]

Honey she is such a beautiful wonderful woman and she has a beautiful heart! That's what I am looking for!

[@rickarmstrong467]

Preach

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Topsey Kretts … Gabriella takes it one step further than you describe … she did the arrangement herself. For those that don't know what that entails, Gabriella has created the piece of music in order to play both the chords and melody together - that is difficult and time consuming to figure out. You'll note in her earliest videos, she was using the arrangements done by other musicians.

[@rajeswaricattakam2834]

She is actually playing the vocal and music... That's something extraordinary... Wow girl you Rock to the core

[@leiflarsen2000]

Great job! Always love that song

[@Danvito13]

It's called fingerstyle. She is good though

[@Professional-Sinner]

It's called fingerstyle, nothing special here, every songs have a fingerstyle version/tabs, you just have to have patience to learn it

[@johnzindash5439]

you hear the words in her song

[@KyleJurassic]

@@Professional-Sinner To say “nothing special here” is reductive and ridiculous. She’s a very accomplished guitarist and arranger who worked hard to come up with this arrangement herself, that inspires other gigging musicians like myself to work harder and be better. Don’t diminish other people’s accomplishments by saying anyone could do that if they worked hard enough. While, true, it takes away from the fact that she actually took the time and did the work and created something fantastic.

[@walterschmitz3091]

thank you for showing times when music had love and compassion without hate

[@David-rr4gb]

I’m a secure enough man to admit that I just shed a few tears because that arrangement is so beautiful it made my heart ache... 😢

[@spacetimemalleable7718]

Jim Croce would be so very proud. An superb arrangement of his classic.

mine too and she plays it so beautifully, speaks to my soul

[@Oni_wrangler]

I was almost disappointed when she didn't start singing, but the guitar is so beautifully played it didn't matter. Incredible talent. Thanks for sharing

[@antoniosasturrias3734]

it is so hard to play a cover like she is, she actually playing the guitar and vocals at the same time. I love this cover

[@thebrutaljudge9883]

I always prefer no vocals at least when somebody covers something and is young cause their vocal influences are horrific......most sound like injured sheeps or Adele or crappy voiceless followers.....this version is so perfect and majestic that vocals aren't necessary !....congratulations lady !....you rock !

[@sammydavidson3406]

SHE IS TRULY A MASTER AT HER TECHNIQUE... SO BEAUTIFUL TO HEAR HER PLAY ...

Wow. I’ve played off and on for 50+ years - I can tell you this artist is a big deal. What excellent tone, excellent skill, great arrangement

[@drbob528]

A favourite song of an old guy and ex-guitar player. I suspect that Jim Groce would hold his breath at the style, grace and fluency of your playing. Beautifully and sensitively executed.

[@Targetdummy2013]

She’s very talented. The timing, the phrasing, the feel. Really really good.

[@pocketsand6136]

I was first disappointed when I realized it wasn't a vocal cover. Then I kept watching... Incredible.

All her songs are vocal covers. She sings in your mind, with her guitar.

In 1975, my wife and I got married. This was and still is our favorite song. We have now been married 49 years. Jim Croce was an awesome Musician! I love your way of playing it!

[@jeffreylegaux7237]

Gabby I grew up in the era.of Jim croche I can sing every song he played OMG.its amazing u play the lyrics in your music never been done by any musician in the world OMG

[@BrokenPortriats]

Jim Croce wrote many songs. This is one of his most difficult pieces. And the way you play it, one of his best.

[@BrokenPortriats]

I opted for Crose's ship wreck song. I grew up around the Great Lakes and that tune kind of found me. However when I got a job actually working on a great lakes ship and brought my guitar, when I played that song just once for my follow seamen, the guys said, " Hell No!! " They truly wanted to steal all the strings off my guitar if I ever played it again. So I quickly learned Alvis' Jail House Rock tune. Silly, but true.

[@davidraymond8994]

I think you mean "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot.

[@herbbluntman2287]

@@davidraymond8994 I saw that too. *_The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call, Gitche Gumee._* That ballad still brings a tear to my eye after almost 50 years of listening to it.

[@remyueru6164]

She played the vocal, the music and your heart all at once..

[@ericnickel3280]

Well said friend.

[@mikehayden7691]

Considering the original was played on both guitars and she kept the vocal line as the highest voice throughout the arrangement... I absolutely think even your praise doesn't go far enough. I'm quite sure even Muehleisen himself would have been blown away by this!

[@horseyhorselips3501]

In the early 1960’s I met Jim Croce when he was working at the Car Wash in NiagaraFalls New York USA 🇺🇸 and he was sitting playing guitar 🎸 and as a car pulled out he set his guitar on the chair and asked me to keep an eye 👁 it as he wiped the water 💦 off the car. And in his song “Working at the car wash blues” he sings at the end of the song “Living in NiagaraFalls was the worse time of his life”

[@martinbogart]

Amazing story! Oh Lord grant eternal rest and let perpetual light shine upon the soul of Jim Croce! Amen!

[@stonernation7221]

its really a sad tale when you understand he had worked multiple jobs just to fund his music he never really made any money even with his incredible talent.

[@matthewmitcham5218]

That's awesome

[@michellebeckstrom6110]

I consider you fortunate you met him. I was five when he died in the plane crash & like many have grown up listening to his tunes

[@Craig-bz3dm]

Damn , that's AWESOME Brother . Thanks for sharing that story !!!

[@herbbluntman2287]

Beautifully played. It does my old heart good to see young people embracing the music I grew up with. Gabriella isn't much older than I was when this song was big hit on American radio along with other Jim Croce songs like "Operator", "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and "Don't Mess Around with Jim". BRAVA, Gabriella!

[@gilbertocbarros4146]

Good choice of a song to play! A young woman playing Jim Croce is awesome! Young people today don't give a damn for old songs.

[@phildiegidio4658]

Very well done. Jim Croce is a folk legend here where I live. He spent his formative years living down the road from me (Lyndell, PA). He also went to my High School (Upper Darby, PA). They are putting up a plaque to recognize the old Farm house he lived in that is still there. Would love to hear more of your renditions of Jim Croce songs. Thank you for this one.

[@francinesalazar4682]

it’s like I can hear his voice. Most covers that try to arrange both the melody and the harmony do it in a different octave, but this one... absolutely perfect.

[@aazie8336]

lyrics (if u want to sing along): If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away Just to spend them with you If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure, and then Again, I would spend them with you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go through time with If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory of how they were answered by you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go through time with

It appears to be a Taylor 914ce with some options.

[@sunworship5080]

Masterpiece !

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

They are very pretty looking guitars with the rosewood back and sides. I guess these are very expensive too. I read a page of reviews on the ce range and I was surprised they got a mixed bag. Some said they are very good, others said too expensive and better guitars are out there for the same price in the 914ce and lower models. I mention this because when I saw Gabriella playing this and other videos I initially thought what a clear sound and the guitar looks just beautiful. So I'm asking you are these guitars well made and worth the money.? I'm looking to buy an acoustic but I'm overwhelmed with the hundreds of models and brands to choose from. I want it to be comfortable to play on and some I have played really hurt my habds with cramping...I want it to feel like an electric guitar so with a low action:)
