Damn....this is amazing. Brings up so many hazy memories and hearing this song as a kid, living room windows open, weird first gen iPods, my dad playing guitar, my mom talking to someone on the phone on the other side of the house, reading books late at night....just a lot of feeling here, really gorgeous. It's also very telling that despite the age of this video and the RELATIVELY small number of views, people are consistently driven to comment about how impactful this is.
@ChristopherGalen love this interpretation. The feeling in your voice is amazing. On a par with the original version l think. Although two different presentations. Love that is not an exact copy.
i have watched this a million times. I love it more and more each time. It's my favorite of yours. I've subscribed to you bc of this version. Are you recording an album of covers? You should! Lots of admirers on here!!!
Love this !!! and i wasnt expecting your voice !!!! I almost spewed a drink at my computer screen !!!! Some of the covers ive seen of this are so cheesey and trying hard to be exactly like Robert Smith ! But NOT YOU !!! You made this really special to you ! Love the tone of your voice !
My lovely aunt just passed away and when I saw your video I fell to the floor crying and wishing she was still with us. All we have now to remember such a beautiful person is pictures of her. Thank so much for a wonderful and beautiful job.
This is one of my favourite songs of all time and I absolutely adore this version! I've also been listening to some of your other uploads and they're all great- please keep up with the music :)
I've listened to this maybe 15 times since I first discovered it 2 years ago, wrote out a tab so that i could attempt to play your arrangement and feel a little of the joy you must feel when you're ripping into it. The rhythm chops on that right hand - dude! It's a tiny bit like J Bonham speaking through an acoustic guitar. So great - every time I listen.....great singing, too.
Was with my ex 24 years ... Can't get her off my mind ... So I choose to remember the good . You have a very special talent and I thank you for sharing it.
This song ( this version of this song) gave me some of my most beautiful momets with my future wife,we had this song on our vacation and we listen to it literaly on repeat. Thank you Christofer, i will remeber this your version of this song as long as Im alive.
Chris this a brilliant cover. It really made my day. Thanks for sharing. Any chance you would be willing to do a tutorial on your guitar arrangement? Love your arrangement for it.
I was looking for this song on guitar and found your video. I'm amazed!!!! I'm starting on the guitar, but it's already inspired me... I want to study hard so that one day I can play at least in this wonderful way!!!!!
@@ChristopherGalen It's a year later now. I'm just laying here surfing through reddit and trying to get sleepy when I came across a thread asking people what 80's songs they never get sick of. Pictures of You was mentioned, and I commented on the thread and recommended they look this up. I love seeing people's incredible cover versions of songs, and this will always be one of my all time favorites.
75 K views and still counting. What' not to love about your rendition of the finest Cure song written. Promised a tutorial some time back. Keep those quality songs coming. All your subscribers love what you do.
@@ChristopherGalen There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more than... a chord shape tutorial for this song! :-D I've got a little bit of it from noodling, but the bridge chord eludes me and the embellishments on the open chord for the verse. Any hints?
Chills just chills, every time I listen. Ive been playing Guitar for a while and I know there is a main tune you set it to but i haven figured it out yet. Ill get it.. oh yes I will, cheers man, you really knocked out of the park!
You sir are very talented! To add your own touch to this classic is nothing short of awesome! Just like some of the others said, I to would love to see the tablature to this. Keep up the great work!
I don't know if this is his real voice, or if it's edited in some way, but it honestly sounds absolutely perfect. I have never seen such a song played so brilliantly, and his singing is just sublime..
How do you outdo a masterpiece of this song by the Robert and the cure? WELL CHRIS DID! WITH GRACE AND TALENT AND EMOTION AND MADE THIS HIS OWN I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU ROBERT AND THE GUYS OF THE CURE PROUD! As a recording engineer side! THere re no words about your version!
Legit probably listened to this 100+ times over the years, amazing cover
Come on Chris, post a little tutorial already!! Lot's of admirers that would like to learn your version. Cheers.
What he said!!!!
Def not standard tuning
Couldn't agree more! Please, do!
Cmooon
Im in. How do you target the muted area of the fretboard like that? I think we would all like to know.,,..,.,.,?
Wow. As a guitar player I didnt think this song could work well on a single acoustic....boy was I wrong.
This is really well done.
I always it could never actually saw someone pull it off though
The power of alternate tunings.
Yes thought the same. Well done
My thought also!
We are now learning that the acoustic guitar has no limits or boundaries
jesus christ I didn't expect that voice! amazing
I'm not crying, it's just raining on my face
Excellent job
