Nice cover, and yet another great lesson. Thanks for all you do Justin!

[@marco_rd]

At this point I watch every lesson, even just to enjoy the cover. Sometimes the cover is so cool that I decide to watch the whole lesson and learn the song. Great work Justin!

[@khimaros]

[@Somehiguy]

Your vocal version took me by surprise, really great sound. Cheers

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thank you very much!

[@keithchaitoff1128]

Justin, I have followed you since started on KZbin (8-10 years?). I think I heard you say that you have taken singing lessons over the years. I got to tell you - this was EXCELLENT- best voicing I’ve ever heard from you and great by any measure. Congrats!

[@Marcel1978dt]

At the end this is playing guitar like a professional! Not much chords but so much dynamics! Great singing too! Love it!

[@haviskam]

Wow! What a performance Justin. Makes me want to jump into learning it at once.

[@Devillionaire]

Your vocals are getting good Justin! Thanks for the lesson. Can't wait to start learning this song!

[@brandona6711]

Well Done Justin! You really make all levels of players feel good about giving it a go!

[@JuliesGuitarChannel]

Justin been watching you for years but your VOICE is Outstanding here!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@VeloVagabond]

There's a video of Steve Miller playing this, solo on an acoustic, on a Portland radio station almost 20 years ago. I've been trying to get the riff and strumming down like he plays it there, almost ever since. Your lesson will help a ton! Thanks!

[@ianfisher5316]

Well done. Your vocals have come a long way.

[@paulgiles6096]

Loved your version Justin, great lesson too thank you😁👍

[@eagles_s]

I like this new style where you sing the notes on the riffs. Its helpful especially if you recognize the scale.

[@petebuckney]

Wow your singing has really relaxed on this one - nice 🙂

[@johnlagreca6288]

Thanks for doing it in standard. Much easier to learn in standard. Most folks will tune (or capo) to their vocal range anyways after learning it.

[@kram21]

great voice and picking!🎸🎼

[@eagles_s]

Thanks Justin! I just learned how to play Angel Of the Morning AND The Joker

[@CaseyRoseAlwaysPositive]

Many thanks for the super thanks and supporting the channel. It means a lot. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com

[@johnnybumpous9108]

I like this one..lol.. my guitar is already tuned down a whole step...

[@scottdebruyn7038]

'pompages', best I can tell is described as "pumping". So, 'pompages of love' means the 'pumpings of Love'... hmmm... 🤔😏

[@MeMe-dw1sm]

Jesus Justin, im following you since the beginning, you haven't aged a bit mate... What's your secret!!?

[@StevenShults]

Oh hell yeah. This may've just been bumped to the top of my 'to learn next' list. (I'm elder GenX. I can't help myself.) Side note: Regardless of his more recent claims that he "made it up", I have been unable to shake my suspicion that "pompetus" was a just tongue-tied moment that was probably written as "cuz I speak of the *properties* love." lol.

[@svitlanaostapchenko5642]

If this is easy! I’m screwed 😂

[@davidprice2705]

Hi Justin a Pompatus is a nonce word coined by Steve Miller in his hit single “The Joker” 🎸👍

[@michaelsedlak4191]

👍👍👍

[@Marley999888]

You enjoyed that one

[@MrPaulkool]

Your voice is so good, great cover!
