Tougher Than the Rest - Bruce Springsteen acoustic cover by MLH

[@smalltownindiana]

Thanks for the compliment. I love playing Bruce tunes. I think I know at least 90% of his catalogue by heart.

[@sammclaughlin515]

That’s a fu*cking real voice hell yeah brother. You can’t get much better than Bruce Springsteen.

[@paulmurphy7327]

This is one of the best cover versions of any song I’ve ever seen. Awesome.

[@markvarszegi8380]

One of my favourite Springsteen songs. Your version is great. Thanks a lot!

[@youngmingers]

Great cover of a great song. Probably the best cover I've heard of this.. nailed it musically and vocally. Brilliant.

[@peterbalb6343]

Great job! Thanks for posting.

[@stevehutch9592]

This is the best version of a cover song I've personally ever heard absolutely brilliant pal 👏👏👍

[@r0b3rtc00p3r]

Truly sublime. And completely in the spirit of the song.

[@andrewgillingham5294]

Inspiring, nothing better then an acoustic guitar and harmonica.

[@andytaylor_music]

This is one of my favourite Springsteen songs and this is the best cover I have ever heard of it.

[@nonrevnosnibormetalbeerrev6251]

Amazing cover man, thank you 👍❤️

[@flatfootistan]

Damn. I wish Bruce recorded this song this way. Well done, man. Do us all a favor and record it in studio quality and sell it, 'cause I'm buyin'!

[@philipfrow3106]

Stunning cover really enjoyed listening. Looks like you’ll have fun teaching your kids music thanks mate

[@GaryBook]

Your vocals cover the timber of Bruce’s voice beautifully.

[@bobbarak3782]

Didn't think this was going to be anywhere near as good as the original, but the way you sing/ play it really puts it on a par with the way the boss does it.

[@lbridger215]

Good at last someone who is playing the song in the right key. Guitar tuned down one full step. Sounds good from New Zealand.

[@Islandmageestu]

I’m stealing this for myself Great stuff And what a great guitar Thanks for sharing this with the world

It’s like watching Buddy Holly sounding like John Hiatt covering Springsteen. Amazing performance !

[@marikitthomson5049]

One of my fav song in 2021.🥰

[@harpegg]

By far the best cover I've heard of this song. Your voice suits it perfectly. Far better than John Mayer's cover that I was suggested by Google

[@smalltownindiana]

Thank you sir! That's the coolest comment I've recieved on youtube to date! Glad you dug my version.

[@kennethfuntek4908]

Great job, Bruce would be proud!

[@MarkSaundersGriffiths]

KZbin delivers up some wonders sometimes. This is one of my absolute favourite songs and you do it fantastic justice. Your views should be way way higher!

[@Cositas1]

I like very much this song and i like your interpretation very much too, for this song and others that you have uploaded. I have courage to play it, although I'm not very good. Thanks for the music and excuse my English, I'm from Spain and my english is not very good, as you can see :P

[@smalltownindiana]

David - thank you very much for the kudos from Spain! I'm happy that you are also enjoying my other videos too. Thanks for the support; I truly appreciate it.

[@Syndication2k11]

Lovely stuff, you really nailed that one. Always a favourite of mine and used to pick it years back, lots of memories, those chords are the ones I also prefer, suit the harp to a tee.

[@smalltownindiana]

Thank you for the comment and support. Much appreciated!

[@goodbyebinarybrain]

Wow! You have a fantastic tone to your voice, and you've taught me a new way to play this beautiful song. Doilch yn fawr iawn, dal ati ! // Thank you very much, keep at it ! Cyfarchion o Gymru // Greetings from Wales.

Awesome job on this cover, love it

[@smalltownindiana]

Thank you John!

[@mohitmukhi]

Beautiful man :) All the best!

[@tommyjamesdonahue]

Great cover brother.. I was torn whether to do the original Springsteen version or the LeDoux rendition when I recorded my cover. You did you a great job taking the Springsteen version and making it your own on that acoustic. Awesome stuff.

[@smalltownindiana]

Thank you very much Thomas. I try to put my own spin on my covers, so I'm glad this one is resonating with quite a few people!

[@smalltownindiana]

Thanks for the kind words from Greece! Cheers!

[@unclerainey]

Great Job! Singing and playing were both spot on.

[@mikehartwig4484]

Great job.

[@Gilbarwaters]

Very nice, good voice and guitar. This is a great song

[@smalltownindiana]

Gilbarwaters Thank you very much. One of my all-time favorite tunes for sure.

[@Gilbarwaters]

smalltownindiana You're welcome. This is the kind of song that I enjoy a little more on acoustic version. This one, as well as "My Hometown" and "I'm on fire" are some of my Bruce's favorite ones. I love the harmonica part, by the way.

[@smalltownindiana]

Thanks again. I love doing Bruce tunes on acoustic. Check my other videos for versions of "Atlantic City" and "No Surrender" if you get the chance too.

[@brencleary4175]

Awesome job!

[@AdamJStoryDC]

That' was friggin' fantastic!

[@smalltownindiana]

Thanks for the kudos - I appreciate it! I'm glad so many people seem to be enjoying this one.

[@dianac.penaloza9914]

I just loved your voice!

[@smalltownindiana]

Thank you Diana! Very nice of you to say and comment.

[@zakwixson7349]

You are a badass dude! Wow. I could listen to that again and again. Phenomenal. I think you could pull off an amazing cover of Fleetwood - As Long As You Follow! That's a request sir!

[@smalltownindiana]

Wow! Thanks Zak. Kind words that are much appreciated. Thanks for the request too.

[@Nellis0]

You should meet Bruce Springsteen, seriously you are that good! You definitely will impress him! I am sure of that!

[@smalltownindiana]

Wow - thanks Nellis! I am glad you dig my version!

[@JelenGlez]

Best cover EVER!! :D

[@smalltownindiana]

Thank you for such high praise Jelen! I'm truly glad you enjoyed it.

[@Ayorlando]

Great cover. I would like to learn that bass/chords style. Does anyone have any tips on where to start? Any books, videos or any other ideas? Much appreciated.

[@smalltownindiana]

Thanks Aydan! I play by ear and feel, so I'm not of much help from a teaching standpoint - sorry. Practice walking down and then back up between G C and D and then go from there. It all falls into place with time.

[@lovewalruss]

Very nice!

[@smalltownindiana]

Really appreciate the kind words.

[@MrLouislaf]

Excellent !

[@smalltownindiana]
