bravo!!!!

[@mallan824]

@2munky221 Constant practise! I've been playing Newton's tunes most days for over a year and I'm just getting there...

[@00utub00]

loving the track and all but the camera zoom in on the mic at 1:48-1:52 for dramatic effect left me in stiches

[@Epsilon346]

i haven't seen it before either, i guess it could be unique. it could even be home-made, but i'd say he could've afforded it to be built with the guitar. who makes his guitars by the way?

[@violetteConny]

i guess the point's not in being famous or popular right here. it's about making music and expressing yourself. He could definately be famous making one pop song after the other but thats not what making music should be about. Comparison to other artists isn't of any use, maybe he is the better musician but both make music with devotion... it's all a matter of taste.

[@Epsilon346]

the scratch thing? it'd be some sort of exposed wood sanded to be coarse, so he can scratch it and get those sounds

[@clairewestrop8606]

Ooooh. I see! Never thought of that ;)

[@2munky221]

I learn the guitar.. I learn the lyrics... but how do I'm supposed to put them together...fml.

[@mallan824]

I don't think it's nerves. Sounds like he's got a cold. He wasn't even trying to sing the high bits in this or in I Took It Out On You. :)

[@darkwiz6163]

Is it just me or is the guitar out of tune a bit?

[@cagolan]

dark wiz It's not just you bro, the guitar is down about half a step to what it usually sounds like (DGDGAd). Such a shame, but still an enjoyable version :)

[@TheJayMarsh]

+Chris Yeah - It might be half a step down, but that wouldn't make it sound out of tune, it'd make the song sound noticeabley different to those that have heard the original a million times, but not out of tune. The guitar literally sounds like some strings are out.

[@darkwiz6163]

Chris Yeah Yeah i play guitar dude.. i get its an alternative tuning, but some strings still sound out?

[@wladimirkmoreno7352]

You are right

[@MesIys]

Other versions of this song are better yes, like others are saying in some comments I think he wasn't feeling 100% healthy. Still rocks harder than anyone though!

[@zgriptzorionescu7118]

ME WANT BENJAMIN GUITAR NOW! :()

[@giggs102]

fuck me this guy is good

[@SuperCconroy]

not as hard as you think but ya cant learn it off a tab it would takes ages

[@mrcass40]

we should start a ginger roots concert Newton Faulkner and Ed Sheeran headline great singers and great guitarists anymore that could be added? no mick hutnall rubbish

[@aarniksmd139]

Bruh ed Sheeran is not a great guitarist ffs

[@monkeyx17]

i would HATE him to be in the 02 man... the 02 is too big, now he would rule in the 02 too but in smaller venues is best.

[@NightDangerRPG]

Kevin Devine maybe?

[@MrAnderson65959]

Matt Talbot Music *opinion

[@eggyleftcheek]

far better than ed shheran

[@FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@mrcass40 Take Ed Sheeran off, we could have newton twice.

[@Holmesy9501]

It is set at a different tune but it sounds a bit out. It's not too bad though.

[@thelefthandedfreak]

His live stuff is so much better! on his albums he over-produces adding unnecessary sound effects and percussion, thats what fails him.
