This is a Groovalicious Grammy-nominated tune off of Paul Simon's 1980 'One-Trick Pony' album which was released concurrently with a film of the same name. The original record features several top session musicians (who also appeared in the movie as the character Jonah's backing band), including Hiram Bullock and Eric Gale on guitars, Richard Tee on piano, Tony Levin on bass, a killer horn section, and Steve Gadd on drums. I do not claim ownership of any kind-just love.

I was not expecting that voice when he started singing... caught me off guard... Great voice very unique and soulful...

[@shannon5373]

Killer vocals! Great cover!

[@robhead22]

Beautiful. Thank you!

[@sammarshall6027]

This is such an underrated cover. Way better than what I expected to find for this song. Brilliant playing and vocals, absolutely love it

[@mikesharpsongs]

Thanks so much, Sam! ☮💜🎶

[@seaoftranquility7228]

Great cover! One of his best. Beautiful guitar too, not just the playing, the actual guitar.

[@guyoli190369]

I could watch this all day long, beautiful done! That groovy rhythm, the licks, the song you sing it. I love it a lot. Well done!!!!

[@67er_matze97]

stellar rendition of this wonderful tune !! 👍

[@robhead22]

Awesome job! Thank you!

[@richardsantiago944]

man you should give a tutorial on this! This is so awesome! I pretty much got the rhythm down; give or take a note, or several notes. but the way you play those licks in between just makes me think, this is the best ever cover of this song. been listening to it for the past 2 days.

[@davidgrunstra3680]

This is fantastic! 🎵

[@jonnyroxx7172]

Sick groove! I love the way you’re using the delay.

[@NewLearningProject]

Wonderful!

[@davidwurm3308]

Great job!

[@musicforlife4157]

Fantastic

[@andrewdelaney2393]

Unreal

[@mikesharpsongs]

Thanks so much Mr. Delaney!

[@alexirausquin3070]

Great man!....congrats!

[@bernardfox9078]

Fantastic cover. Great groove and great singing ! One man almost as good as an entire band. Heard the guitar and thought this is good but I bet the guy can't sing. Then you started singing and I thought wow !

[@diabckd7789]

You've given me quitspiration! really good, how did you keep the bass rhythm going while doing the lead solo!? nice

[@coreyhudson9855]

Mike, 4 years later I’m still playing. Still coming back to this sick ass jam. Still believing that lesson vid will make it out!

[@mikesharpsongs]

😁Well I feel obligated now, although that competes with my utter lack of competence in teaching guitar playing...perhaps the whole project could be filmed/shared as a "journey" series

[@coreyhudson9855]

@@mikesharpsongs 'Journey Series' sounds right on point! Your technique is crazy good, i'm mostly interested in see your right hand picking motion during the verse. Is the delay effect the only way to get that sound and would it sound the same on an acoustic?

[@coreyhudson9855]

Michael Sharp If you record the instructional parts and upload them to me, I’ll edit this piece together. Thoughts?

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

Great job! (totally gonna use this version in my solo pub show)

[@timbrown2040]

Brilliant love it

[@patrickrugebregt9078]

I was so fixed on the guitar chords at the beginning. And than you started singing: Woow! Very good!

[@jameseeeerussell2791]

Absolutely brilliant!!!

[@mizzurah05]

Nice work man!

[@singeross]

you blew this room away!

[@jamesnielsen3906]

Love the bass with the thumb. Cheers brother. Top notch!

[@Mono280367]

Yiiiiihaaaa!!!!! You've got a new fan from The Netherlands

[@tsfurlan]

Frickin amazing, now I have to learn this song

[@mikesharpsongs]

Paul Simon is amazing! But be forewarned: drummers don't all love the challenge of playing signature Steve Gadd parts on songs like this 😁

[@mizzurah05]

I end up on this song about once a month just jammin my you tube playlist and let me tell you brother you nail it! Get you some!

[@ytjimmyd]

Fabulous! Brought tears to my eyes. Tried to buy it on iTunes, but didn't see it.

[@mikesharpsongs]

That could be a good move 😊

[@styx9540]

Holy crap man, that was beautiful!

[@abundantlyblessed9201]

[@graycrom]

[@coreyhudson9855]

Best cover hands down. Makes me want to give up guitar. Any chance of tabbing it out for the rest of us???

[@benqish]

Ha ha. Makes me wanna give up the guitar :(

[@Kirkola]

[@richardsantiago944]

This is awesome! I just wanna know one thing. how do you do that little bass thingy in the strumming pattern?

[@mikesharpsongs]

I suppose we could work that out, maybe via livechat or something? My email is: [e-mail]

[@mikesharpsongs]

Thanks GPR33-Hallelujah!

[@johnl4178]

what guitar are you playing?

[@mikesharpsongs]

John L Godin Multiac Jazz SA

[@johnl4178]

Nylon string? Interesting.

[@mikesharpsongs]

John L It is a steel string, I use flatwounds. But they definitely have nylon versions. The piezo pickups are amazing, made by a guy named Richard McClish; his company is RMC Pickups

[@edtimmons6943]

[@gypsyguitars]

HARD TO COVER THE BRIDGE IN THAT SONG... 'GUESS YOU GOTTA IMPROVISE ??? NICE SOLO ARRANGEMENT... YOU HAVE A GRRREAT VOICE !!!
