redbone - childish gambino (joseph solomon cover)

[@whatisjoedoing]

3.5 million views. To think, i really wasn't gonna upload this video to youtube because i thought my audience at the time wasn't gonna feel it and the algorithm would not favor it. By far the most popular video I've put out, and ironically also my favorite cover i've done. thank y'all for rocking to this!

@@leonardosevero5770 learn and practice first

[@Cole-hx1zk]

@@leonardosevero5770 it seems that for the tone he keeps the sound clean and compressed and adds a little bit of reverb. The tone also depends a lot on the type of guitar and pickups. He uses a hollowbody guitar with gretsch pickups which are a great combination for warm tones. Hope this helped.

[@younespunk]

@thomas first you need a semi hollow guitar if not uou can either use a soundcard and find some jazzy presets on amplitube or guitarrig or buy some classi jazz amp and pedals ( twin fender ..etc) , good luck

If you have ears to hear, hear and understand you are probably one of GODS lost sheep that needs to be found there is this hole in your heart and you tried many times and many things and many ways to fill it and still are but it’s not working and it keeps getting bigger and bigger you would be around multiple people and still feel lonely and work so hard to take those bad thoughts away etc but let me tell you JESUS is the one who can fill that whole in your heart JESUS is that missing piece you’ve been looking for, that peace that’s never ending that true love and joy and happiness it’s in JESUS not of this world but of the kingdom of heaven and if you want to accept him in your heart all you have to do is believe in the gospel A-admit that you’re a sinner and that you need forgiveness, B-Believe that JESUS CHRIST died for your sins and rose again, and C-Confess your faith in JESUS CHRIST and his lordship over your life and you will be saved and this amazing feeling is not a drug it won’t last a couple hours but forever eternally bc it is not of this world but of GOD who sits on the throne of heaven forever and ever HALLELUJAH
