Just recently lost my dad. He was a trucker for 55 years and drove a white Freightliner. We played your version at his funeral. It was perfect, Thank You!

I'm so glad I came across this. Made my day man. Just started learning guitar since covid quarantine. To play like you do from the heart is all I'm after. Dude you're awesome!

[@Shalini_Jay_Music]

Love your take of this song =)

[@Jhossack11]

I agree with all the comments here. Yeah, that was great!

Thanks very much, Jim!

One of the best solo performances I've seen. That was 😎 cool.

I've heard many technically proficient covers of this song that are amazing to watch, but this might be the most soulful and stripped down rendition I've heard since the original recording. I think I have a new personal goal to reach for, thank you.

[@jemmermusic]

Thanks very much for listening, and I appreciate your kind words! I'll look forward to hearing your version someday.

[@nikkinunya676]

Thank you for listening to my music. I am honored! One time, when I was 10, I took a trip to Japan and went swimming in the 日本海. It was incredible. ありがとう

I love your version of the song. It would be great if you made a fingerstyle lesson about it!

[@jemmermusic]

Thanks Nelis, I'll see what I can come up with!

Any singing tips? you got an incredible voice I’m starting to sing with my guitar

[@jemmermusic]

Hello and thanks for listening! I learned to sing by singing in groups with people who were better than me. 3-4 part harmony, shape note singing, and singing in "rounds." I'd find better singers and try to copy them. Voice lessons can also be great, as it's helpful to understand the anatomy and techniques behind different sounds. Overall, I'd just say, don't get discouraged. The only way to get better at it is to sing a lot, practice a lot, and keep going. Does this help?

[@ardti1776]

Jackson Emmer thanks so much will try and do that

[@jemmermusic]

@@ardti1776 great, enjoy! I didn't start singing until I was 20 years old. I figure, if I can do it, anyone can.
