STARBIRD -- my latest album of original music is now available! ua-cam.com/video/zegRt3yt1As/v-deo.html (Listen here!) coreyheuvel.bandcamp.com/album/starbird (Buy it here!)
You seem like a spiritual guy. What's that picture you got in the background? Are you Hindu? if so you are a man of many deep thoughts. And music is a way of you to express those thoughts. I am Christian but I do respect the teachings of Hindus. They get some real deep concepts.
I clicked on this video thinking "I can play this" about 8 seconds in, I realised that I could not play this and you are a musical fucking wizard, absolute phenomenal job, good sir!
You have to practice vocals and gtr separate then combine. ❤ Corey is a master obviously. I been playing since the late 70s but it will take me a yearnand good day to play this well. ❤
Man, ive been listening to RHCP for over 30 years but its been a long time since i really sat and considered the lyrics to this song. Absolutely amazing rendition 👏👏
Well it’s about bill the original guitarist. John took Inspiration from his favourite licks and made this masterpiece almost from just his guitar. Pretty good story I’m sure you can find it somewhere if you’re interested.
Absolutely stunning performance I agree. And yes hearing this song through him really makes me sit and think about it. Quite moving actually. Really brought new life into such a great song for me.
i dont think a lot people understand how difficult it is to play and sing at the same time especially a song like under the bridge..much respect for you Corey, you nailed it
This song got me through when I was fighting for my life. I want to take the time to say He put the time in what an Impressive achievement I've been playing for years and this is almost Impossible to do he's amazing most people will never understand the time and effort it takes to play something like this we need more people like you !!👏
Really, really well done. Intro is deceptively simple, and actually really hard to play without a capo. And the verses are hard to play by themselves, let alone while doing a killer vocal performance like this. Bravo, Corey!
I am Japanese and I fell in love with your UNDER THE BRIDGE. I recently bought a guitar, so I will try my best to play and sing in a way that will fascinate people like you. Thank you!
This is a phenomenal performance, I don’t think people realise how difficult this song is to play , let alone sing . Well done brother , John would approve I’m sure.
Clicked on this video thinking about how I've started to learn this song and... wow... it's gonna take a few years if I want to play this as perfectly and beautifully as you.
Those pinky hammer on pull offs are so difficult to do in this song, at least they are for me. You should definitely cover Breaking the girl or I could have lied. You obviously have the musical chops!
Beautiful display of the magic that comes from combining talent and the hard work to unlock it. And it’s not just the lovely/ awesome playing, but what about the singing? Splendid.
Easily one of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard. I’ve watched all of your videos and you’re just so clean. You have such a great touch. I can’t believe you’re not famous.
I've been watching your channel nearly 10 years. And man.. I just stumbled across that song once again and here you are - With THAT song. Guess who's going to start learning the song on a guitar now ..
Insane talent, playing both guitars on the intro, especially on the pinkie slide part, and then the whole song on an acoustic while singing : Beautiful.
Absolutely amazing performance! The chills down my spine are still tingling... so chilling and haunting yet so soft and ambient.. freaking awesome Corey!
This is probably the best acoustic cover of this on the UA-cams. I was wondering, are you playing along to the tune/click or are you just free flowing? (because the tempo seems to be bang on throughout). Thanks! 🙏
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel like my only friend Is the city I live in, the city of angels Lonely as I am, together we cry I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy Well, I never worry, now that is a lie I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way Yeah, yeah, yeah It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there It's hard to believe that I'm all alone At least I have her love, the city, she loves me Lonely as I am, together we cry I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way Yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, no, no-no, yeah, yeah Love me, I say, yeah yeah One time Is where I drew some blood (Under the bridge downtown) I could not get enough (Under the bridge downtown) Forgot about my love (Under the bridge downtown) I gave my life away Yeah, yeah Oh, no, no-no-no, yeah, yeah Oh, no, I said, oh, yeah, yeah Where I stay
One of my favorite songs on guitar. This is already incredibly difficult on guitar... let alone your excellent vocals. You're truly an inspiration and an outstanding musician.
Haha. It is really nice to see my favorite UA-camr covering my favorite song of all time. I actually wanted a tutorial for that one since I heard it on a live stream but I was too shy to ask and so what I did instead was basically I took a live stream performance and reduce the speed to 0,75 to see the chords and patterns. I am really grateful for all the content you are creating lately Corey. I'm gonna enjoy my long-awaited tutorial now. Cheers.
That was really really good brother. I play this one but cut a lot of corners on the guitar to be able to sing from the 2nd verse on. Your rendition is true to the spirit of the original song and beautiful done by your voice and playing.
I just discover you and I really appreciated all the video you've done! Ilwe can see all the changes and grown done in more than 13 years! Well done and tks for share
Brillant job 👍💯 currently learning this song and it's them thrills I'm finding hard to do brillant job seen some of your pink Floyd covers too amazing man thanks for sharing looking forward to some more covers ✌️🤘🎸🎵😎
That's soo funny that I asked you about hand cramp in your last live stream and I had this particular song in mind. And here you are doing the song with the chord variations with your thumb over the top just like you said!😅I'll give it a go, thanks again Corey
I was watching your “No One Knows cover for the 100th time and I thought about requesting Under The Bridge, I’ve been playing it a lot lately and I thought you would nail it. And then you went and made this cover, you even got the second guitar notes on the intro. I’m just grateful to have found you, you are an amazing artist and a true inspiration. Watching people like you inspires me to keep practicing and keep believing that becoming a good musician is possible. I just wish you to be healthy and inspired to keep doing what you’re doing! 🙏
Damn these lyrics are so fucking deep and powerful. Especially when it’s taking giving your life away under a damn bridge. So scary so beautiful. Amazing cover, dude. Done it again.
One of my friends recently sent this to me, saying he thought it was better than the original. I was understandably skeptical. As others have said, under the bridge is complicated enough to play without singing it! But goddam, this guy has serious talent. Did an amazing song justice. More RHCP please!!!!!

Especially while hitting all the hammer ons
I clicked on this video thinking "I can play this" about 8 seconds in, I realised that I could not play this and you are a musical fucking wizard, absolute phenomenal job, good sir!
😂😂😂🎉❤
Bruh just practice, you CAN play this
@@dogswithchips2397yeah that’s where I’m at just watching all his vids trying to figure what I can by ear. It’s a slow process lol..
just play two frets lower and everything goes easily with C)
Put a capo on the 2nd fret
I find this song very difficult to play and sing at the same time. You nailed it! 👍
Like every song with contrapuntal rhythms vs the vocals, it's all muscle memory and practice
I find it hard to just play it let alone sing!
You have to practice vocals and gtr separate then combine. ❤
Corey is a master obviously. I been playing since the late 70s but it will take me a yearnand good day to play this well. ❤
especially the chorus, impossible to get the rhythm right
The chorus is particularly hard to play and sing at the same time by one person, since the tempo is different.
Man, ive been listening to RHCP for over 30 years but its been a long time since i really sat and considered the lyrics to this song. Absolutely amazing rendition 👏👏
Well it’s about bill the original guitarist. John took Inspiration from his favourite licks and made this masterpiece almost from just his guitar. Pretty good story I’m sure you can find it somewhere if you’re interested.

Glad you won that battle.
I know it's never completely over, but you can do it.
Really, really well done. Intro is deceptively simple, and actually really hard to play without a capo. And the verses are hard to play by themselves, let alone while doing a killer vocal performance like this. Bravo, Corey!
I am Japanese and I fell in love with your UNDER THE BRIDGE.
I recently bought a guitar, so I will try my best to play and sing in a way that will fascinate people like you.
Thank you!
Corey -- you're truly a master. You've got soul, and that bit of magic that distinguishes you as more than a musician and singer -- you're an artist.
Dude holy shit. The things your fingers are doing and your voice is just so calm and steady and beautiful
Holy Shit Son, That’s the best guitar playing i’ve seen in a while
bro that gotta be the best cover ive ever seen of this song
This is a phenomenal performance, I don’t think people realise how difficult this song is to play , let alone sing . Well done brother , John would approve I’m sure.
Clicked on this video thinking about how I've started to learn this song and... wow... it's gonna take a few years if I want to play this as perfectly and beautifully as you.
I am in awe. Fantastic playing. Can’t believe you sang it as well. Outstanding talent and your hard work shows. Woah.
Beautiful Voice. The picture of Saraswati in the background is a nice touch too.
I agree with Modfather...everytime l watch you,,l am blown away..
I love watching you when l finish playing...for inspiration.
Absolutely Brilliant
One of the most masterful guitar / singing videos I’ve seen! Stunning
Those pinky hammer on pull offs are so difficult to do in this song, at least they are for me. You should definitely cover Breaking the girl or I could have lied. You obviously have the musical chops!
Blown away, beautiful performance.
This one ppl have been requesting for awhile. Beautiful instrumentation, re-creation and the voice captures the meaning of the song. Thanks!
Beautiful display of the magic that comes from combining talent and the hard work to unlock it. And it’s not just the lovely/ awesome playing, but what about the singing? Splendid.
This is my favorite chili peppers song and you did it justice!
Respect mate. Very VERY well done!
Easily one of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard. I’ve watched all of your videos and you’re just so clean. You have such a great touch. I can’t believe you’re not famous.
The Guitar is amazing. Love your playing and singing. Keep it up!
I've been watching your channel nearly 10 years. And man.. I just stumbled across that song once again and here you are - With THAT song. Guess who's going to start learning the song on a guitar now ..
I have stumbled across several of your videos over the years, and I am always touched by your music. Thank you for sharing your gift.
The amount of soul this man has is out of this world! Brilliant performance!
How you get it groovy and melodic on the guitar! And like your way of singing, concentrated and simultaneously emotionally. Impressive!
I think this is one of best song from Blood Sugar Sex Magik album....IMO...loved your cover ...
Sustained excellence from this artist - and great vocals, too!
Your performances always makes me smile. Well done. Thanks.
This song was a gateway for me into so much music! Nice throwback, well done!
This was just shared on the Corey Heuvel Fan Forum, not sure why it took so long, but better late than never. Great job Corey.
Amazing rendition. Maa saraswati has truly blessed you.
Another great one. Keep sharing. You got both pipes and chops and do fantastic acoustic covers.
Randomly found your cover. Perfect cover dude. I wouldn’t change anything about it.
Insane talent, playing both guitars on the intro, especially on the pinkie slide part, and then the whole song on an acoustic while singing : Beautiful.
Absolutely amazing performance! The chills down my spine are still tingling... so chilling and haunting yet so soft and ambient.. freaking awesome Corey!
What a gem of a cover
This is an incredibly well done cover of the song.
This is just on another level. Loved every note.
First time in a LONG time I have actually been entertained by someone on UA-cam...well done mate
Best cover I’ve ever heard. You got talent man. 💯💪
Beautiful improvision and personal twist, much love
This is probably the best acoustic cover of this on the UA-cams. I was wondering, are you playing along to the tune/click or are you just free flowing? (because the tempo seems to be bang on throughout). Thanks! 🙏
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no-no, yeah, yeah
Love me, I say, yeah yeah
One time
Is where I drew some blood
(Under the bridge downtown)
I could not get enough
(Under the bridge downtown)
Forgot about my love
(Under the bridge downtown)
I gave my life away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no-no-no, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, I said, oh, yeah, yeah
Where I stay
I’m surely gonna learn this song on Guitar,played wonderfully 🎉
Man, fkn awesome! This one enters and leaves my repertoire, because I can't get it perfect. This was perfect.
Anyone who truly appreciates music, knows how insanely good this cover is. Best cover of the song I have heard.. voice and a guitar alone 🤝🏾🤝🏾
One of my favorite songs on guitar. This is already incredibly difficult on guitar... let alone your excellent vocals. You're truly an inspiration and an outstanding musician.
Haha. It is really nice to see my favorite UA-camr covering my favorite song of all time.

That's nothing short of a stellar performance dude. Bravo.
I'm form India 🇮🇳
Love to see *Lord (maa) Saraswati* in your back side...
Awesome cover by the way ❤
Finger work and vocals are insane! Well done! 🤘🏽
Bro, this is AMAZING! Sining this while playing is just wild. Keep going man!
I gave this a like before you even started playing because I knew it would be awesome. Nailed it again Corey! 👏👏😎👍👍
Me too!
I always wait to hit the like after watching it fully just in case there is some algorithm they use, lol.
that's cheating but i am not going to tell anyone :P
Danke!
Made me want to Play Guitar again. Thanks a lot for your Video
That was really really good brother. I play this one but cut a lot of corners on the guitar to be able to sing from the 2nd verse on. Your rendition is true to the spirit of the original song and beautiful done by your voice and playing.
I just discover you and I really appreciated all the video you've done! Ilwe can see all the changes and grown done in more than 13 years! Well done and tks for share
By far the best acoustic guitarist I’ve heard on UA-cam. Keep it up man I love your videos.
Also, what guitar are you using here, I really like it
Congratulations, you always choose the best songs. Hug from Brazil
Excellent playing, great voice.
Have you ever covered "No Rain" - Blind Melon?
That was damn good! Singing and playing those licks and keeping the timing of the song is a very difficult thing to do. Great job!
wowww, such an incredible interpretation!! Congrats, thanks for sharing it
Very nice cover! Nice singing too, specifically in the high tones!
You're singing is so fucking good it's actually elite
Highly under appreciated video! Really awesome job!! To play that and sing with all the embellishments is very impressive
Been watching you for years dude. You've taught and inspired me to continue my guitar journey. Keep it rolling, cheers from louisiana!!
Incredible execution. Perfect.
Very Very good singing and playing at the same time !! Never heard this song played like this before, you really are a master !!
Probs one of my fave covers of this song !!! 🎉🎉

So surprised and impressed with the outro vocals. Well done!

There is something deeply honest about your musical expression.. I love it ❤️. Thank you
This rendition made me feel deep emotions. Brilliant cover
bellissima bravo Corey
What an excelent performance, greetings from Chile dude, you nailed it!
I’ve never tried to learn this song and your cover immediately made me want to. I feel like I can give no higher praise.
Excellent guitar play and vocal! Thanks! 🤘
One of my friends recently sent this to me, saying he thought it was better than the original. I was understandably skeptical. As others have said, under the bridge is complicated enough to play without singing it! But goddam, this guy has serious talent. Did an amazing song justice. More RHCP please!!!!!
