[@anthonyvaladez7400]

Ariana Azahar. i appreciate the feedback thanks.this is once of my favorite songs in their albums #tdg4life

[@lauskopf4481]

It sounds good with deeper voices because this song requires power, and the deeper your voice is the more power youre gonna use to hit the note, I'm a bass, and I can hit that note but it just requires so much energy, that gives power to the voice

[@notme1672]

Marat Yousif I'm a woman and I agree with this comment 😂

[@ghostgoomba8816]

This is one of my favorite songs and everytime I hear it it reminds me of all the things I went through this song has helped me so much it stopped me from taking my own life on multiple accounts. This cover brought me to tears today I woke up from a bad dream it felt so real. In the dream the love of my life hated me and left me and hit me I woke up super depressed today not only from that but from missing my grandpa. Thank you for this beautiful cover keep it up you're an amazing musician

He Actually Sounds a lot Like Adam During The Verses & The Chorus sent Chills Down My Spine(: Crazy Good. Keep Up The Good Work(.

[@solaritys]

He doesn't sound like Adam at all, in my opinion. Not saying he doesn't sound amazing, but he sounds more like Ben Burnley of Breaking Benjamin.

[@ogbee9690]

yeah i can agree on the ben burnley thing. reminds me a lot of anthem of the angels with the vocals. Another one of my favorite bands, heck i like them better than 3dg. :D

[@solaritys]

i like tdg better, but bb comes very close :))

[@sophie_drachen]

@@solaritys Seconded! And your point is proven right by the fact that he has done covers of Breaking Benjamin.

[@TorchedBeauty]

You did a wonderful job on a song that's been one of my absolute favourites since I was 14.

[@jushiiiiii]

This is incredible , whole different concept to the original. Quick question if you don't mind , how did you manage to fix the acoustic guitar on the mixing ? Because mine is crappy when I record it.

[@kevinstaudtmusic]

what guitar do you use? i'd use a good microphone instead of the guitar pickup or even better: use two tracks and mix them together in the best way possible.

[@jushiiiiii]

Kevin Staudt The thing is I'm still going to a starting point with recording. Any idea where to start ?

[@kevinstaudtmusic]

jasonruaya you need an audio interface (e.g. i use the "rme fireface uc") and a recording software. if you are a beginner i'd recommend a free software like 'audacity'. otherwise there are other more professional possibilities like pro tools, cubase, logic... whatever you're comfortable with. you can improve your results by recording your guitar with a good condenser microphone (e.g. i have an "akg perception 820 tube"). if you mix the guitar pickup signal and the microphone signal together you should mix them seperately first before you put them together. use an equalizer to filter out annoying frequencies and a compressor to get a tighter sound. after that you can route your two guitar tracks on one stereo track and use a reverb effect to give your guitar a more natural sound by simulating a different types room environments (if you're a good player you can also play the same guitar track two times (so you'd have 2 microphone tracks and two pickup tracks) and pan one of them to the right and the other one to the left. makes the signal wider). there are many ways to achieve good mixing results. just look up some 'mixing acoustic guitar' videos on youtube. i'm sure you'll find some that'll help you. good luck!

[@ANinjaNapkin]

I'm a little late but nevertheless I think that this is the best cover of any song I have ever heard. I have just started playing the guitar myself and I have chosen to play this song for my Senior Project for my English class. This really helped me pick up on it. I just want to say thank you and you're a truly gifted individual. I saw your video about your father and I wish you the best of luck with that. Cheers.

[@brockheinrich8141]

how aren't you famous??

your cover is more beautiful than the original song! c:

[@LighterNumber300]

Definetly "prettier", but not better.

[@michaelkennedy8294]

LighterNumber300 Imo it sounds just as good. Although Adam's yelling is great, the lack of in this song is a nice.

[@zoeycarlyle9688]

it's softer, but the original was more emotional so no it's not more beautiful it's hypnotising

[@solaritys]

Have you heard the original song? Man, nothing beats that. But this cover is great, it puts a different twist on the song, because his voice is quite the opposite of Adam's.

[@alexandriamandell2032]

I didn't expect this to be so beautiful

[@paulynolan3833]

Wow. Not TDG by far. But something totally ingenious and powerful.

[@birby_boi_]

You have the voice of an angel! I love this! I love singing along to this!! I been searching for hours for a good acoustic cover of this so I can relax. stay awesome man

[@haloisawesome56]

What tunning are you? An what chords you using man?

[@PopmusickidII]

Guitar tuning: C - G - C - D# - A# - D#

[@carlthegnarl]

Advokaten fosho Never heard of that tuning before :-o

[@July-gj1st]

Konfuzius4711 on acoustic is drop d meaning D A D G B E, you mostly use D A D

[@coheedandcambria100]

Konfuzius4711 It's the tuning of Mother Earth and the Universe. (actually, you have to tune your D (4th string) to a C, and then drop it flat a tab bit more. This frequency resonates to the universal buzz, and will help it keep resonating longer. Want to change the Earth again? Tune to these specifications. (A=432hz)

[@urielkosovo5177]

Wafflefox are you legit about the Mother Earth talk?

[@WeAreCagedInSimulations]

Really didn't expect this. Amazing !

[@WARLORDx120]

[@vkoh9588]

[@hnatka14]

[@Doomsdayexe]

People should stop hating on Matt, he's not Adam but he's still pretty good. How would you feel if thousands of people started sending you hate comments for doing what you love?

[@xvrz2869]

Lol haha no, And the Drum?

[@Doomsdayexe]

Matt sounds horrible live though, he's great n' all but I'm not sure if he fits 3DG. I just think it's cruel how people hate on him so much..

[@jendoesnotcare]

I'm just....shockedd. Its so...beautiful. I just...I'm gonna cry

[@chrishall3071]

That's amazing bruh. Ur voice sounds like breaking Benjamin tho lol

[@solaritys]

Yeah. People are saying he sounds like Adam but he doesn't really.. Adam has a very distinct voice, it's hard to sound like him, I thought all throughout the video: Is this what Never Too Late would sound like if Ben Burnley sang it?

[@JesusistheWaytheTruth288]

You really made the lyrics come alive in this one! Loved it :)

[@Shadowdipz]

how do you hit such high notes

[@XxXCaptainJakkXxX]

There are no high notes in this version. It's falsetto.

[@magdalenabajko597]

@Kevin Staudt you are amazing. Your voice and guitar. OMG 😘😍

[@ShreddNugent]

Sounds good. You need to join a band, you're too old to get discovered on youtube like Justin Blubber. And give those higher notes some practice. Nobody wants to hear you sounding awesome on the lower notes and then fade out on the high stuff. Sing from your gut.

[@simonheerze3085]

Torey s jeez dude, can't handle someone giving him constructive feedback?

[@MellowJelly]

"sing from your gut" lol idiot, if he's at the top of his vocal range he needs to increase nasal airflow and sing in his head or even switch to falsetto in order to hit those notes. i don't think you know much about singing

[@slightlyinsaneartisticmeme5875]

Torey s dude chill it’s just constructive criticism he’s good but there’s something’s that need improvement. Don’t answer for him, How is he going to improve without criticism We all need criticism every now and then. it’s how we grow as people,

[@gaararox22]

its refreshing to hear this song in a new way, not many people who cover TDG have such a naturally pure voice. i like the face that you went went with your own voice instead of trying to give yourself a gravely sound to it. you made this song yours :)
