Holy crap I just realised you're playing a right handed guitar upside down. makes this cover even more impressive. 👏👏👏

@jelau4851 2 жыл бұрын

I think this is a lefty guitar stringed for a right-hand but played upside down, incredible player

@PaulAshley Ай бұрын

@@jelau4851 I think you're right. The pick guard is in the right spot for lefty. Why woud you even string like this? Impressive that he did it but why? Any Travis picking that relies on the bass line played with the thumb can't be done. Odd. But ... this is a great cover.

@@PaulAshley funny how some people can accomodate on different settings, for an example, my son in law can play my right hand guitar upside down, he plays the chords completely reversed, baffles me.

OK .. that is next level ... I'd have to stand on my head to play that guitar. I just noticed the strings are upside down ... wow!

This is probably the greatest stripped-down cover I’ve seen on this song here on YT! Great job!

Excellent cover, you sound alot like James Taylor and you play it identical to the studio version, I really enjoyed it and this is one of my fav JT songs.

AWESOME job man! The guitar playing is excellent and your vocals are spot on. Sweet Baby James would be proud. Your voice actually sounds really similar to James's, which is super cool.

Very nice, and left handed on a right handed guitar.

@tonybrook7768 3 жыл бұрын

My goodness, what an enjoyable cover. I would love to hear the story of how he learnt to play a Right hooker when he's left handed. Some of the best players play in unconventional ways, such as James Taylor himself, with his strange chord shapes to produce index finger hammer- ons. Listeners won't care about that, if the end result's as good as this.

Great cover! Normally when people cover a song with a bunch of instrumentals using a singular instrument they don't sound very good, however you succeeded! By the way, what guitar is that?

Great sound…Guitar sounds bright , vocals are in the perfect Taylor key.

@Rob6648 3 жыл бұрын

Alx I play this song, but your version is far more detailed than the way I learned it. It's a bitch to play, but I think I would start all over to learn it your way. Did you learn this by ear, or did you find a tab this good? Would love to have the tab for this if you know where I could find it. Thanks, this is an amazing cover. And yes the into is whatever! Took me weeks and it's nowhere near as good as yours. No two people play quite the same. Thanks man, great job.

Wow! your intro was better than any of the "how to play" on YT. How did you learn it? Is there a tab or a lesson that I have missed. Would love to learn your arrangement. Thanks. Great Job!
