TJ Taotua - LETS STAY TOGETHER COVER (By Al Green)

[@philost7427]

TJ, I'm a 73 year old acoustic singer/songwriter, been around the block so many times I know all the cracks by name. This is as good a rendition as I've ever enjoyed of this iconic song. You sold every word and the picking was integrated with style and grace. I'm looking forward to checking out your other posts. Very smooth brother, you have been richly blessed by the Creator! Phil

[@m9ner]

Thanks for your answer. This genious guitar is not his guitar :D

[@jeremyosl]

I'm a R&B musician myself. I must say that your touch, feel over the guitar is amazing. The riffs and chord voicing is simply out of this world. And don't get me started on your vocals.... You got soul man. Cheers from Malaysia!

[@winros]

I was introduced to Al Green when I was a little girl by my cousin who was 20 years older than me and ever since then I just love the old soul rhythm and blues! I wish I can sing but, I can't however, I tell you what I can do... my first language is American Sign language both of my parents were born Deaf! I just got very inspired right now so with that to be said I'm going to practice today and just put it out there! ✌️✌️🤟🤟

[@paulalesese906]

The best part is that he plays the Guitar upside down

[@incubus_the_man]

It's hard to find someone that can cover Al Green like that. His voice is so distinctive and different.

[@Fox10220]

I scaled KZbin and have returned.. I can confirm that this is thee best cover hands down. Thank you for your time

[@shakespear8583]

yep 🔥

[@lemonnlimelight2760]

The best cover of this song. Al Green with envy. Brilliant my brother. Guitar playing and chord inversions simply sublime. Those passing chords are the real deal.

[@michellemariepineda5312]

He's singing a duet with his guitar. This is a good one.

[@xkaemxkaem8182]

Music industry is so strange sometimes. .cause they sign some artist for cover too and why this Guy doesn't have chance too ? So strange cause skills vocal and guitar are absolutely outstanding ! 👌👌👌

[@thelbronius]

Covering masterpieces can be dangerous, are you bringing anything new or worthwhile to the performance? Does the song benefit from another interpretation. This is an amazing interpretation of one my favorite songs. The voice, phrasing, guitar playing. I'm shocked that you're not a household name. Fantastic!

[@louvega8414]

Whoooo! Yeah, man!

[@annmariet177]

Amazing. Our wedding song ❤

[@PRIMOCOBRA]

Clear and clean, acoustic dream

[@klenzhernandez3621]

Those triads are so spicy sir! Well done. Fantastic. 💯

[@hylan67]

Love this - I want to see the guitar while you are playing - awesome man

[@MikeBoyd]

Absolutely awesome

[@whitneyteo7677]

Whoa. What r u doing here?

[@poopyscoopy4430]

[@laurenreilly3246]

[@luisaaraque3332]

Wonderfull, Master piece of sound

[@ramsey2314]

Holy crap. I hit the like button 5 seconds after you started. Just wonderful.

[@tjtaotua8778]

Thank you!!1 TJ

[@christurner2340]

I’m so blessed to have stumbled upon your gorgeous music! I went t look for sweet chords to Bee Gee’s “how deep in your love” and found this awesome jazzy, bluesy, soulful so sweet version of the good reverend Green! I like that you play left handed and upside down. It just means I can’t copy chords directly (how did you do that???), but still goov'in on colour, texture and feel. Thank you for sharing your truly amazing gift. Kia ora from Canada.

[@MATTEH000]

Wtf why are you not a superstar? Your talent literally makes me weep with joy and makes me cry for the loss of a life I had wished I had dedicated to music

[@tjtaotua8778]

Get back into your music Matt. It is a gift.

[@MATTEH000]

TJ Taotua what

[@shortanimationz]

+Matt Gilfil I think he misread your comment lol

[@spencermorland5881]

+Matt Gilfil Need more then just a great voice. Have to be able to write great music to have a chance as well. Or be flat out terrible. Lo those people seem to make it as well.

[@tavitadaveliulutu1094]

@@spencermorland5881bro check out his material. Yes he does covers but also writes his own music...

[@korijay9150]

Insane vocal ability. You did justice to this song and your guitar skills are over the top fantastic. Loved your version!

[@rpetalcorin]

Insta-Fame. Maybe you're not in it for the lights. Really appreciate your gift to the world in this music!
