[@CourtHoang]

Thanks bud! Now you know I could make cool stuff even before you were my producer 😜

[@joefacethefirst]

I was a fan of your music before we started working together!
But I mean like we're pretty awesome as a team sooooo you're welcome! 😝

[@nggyunglydngraady]

Yoooooo this is so good!!
You're talented!Is this somewhere on bandcamp or spotify?
Also I posted this on reddit so I hopd this gets at least 1k views(:

[@CourtHoang]

Dude! You totally made my month sharing on Reddit 😊 this isn't available anywhere yet but now I'm thinking I need to record a studio version and release it asap! If you subbed I'm sure you'll see it when it comes out! Thanks a million ✨

[@nggyunglydngraady]

@@CourtHoang you should absolutely record it!Otherwise I'll have to listen to this version on repeat(:
The beatboxing is sick btw!

[@CourtHoang]

@@nggyunglydngraady Okay I'm officially recording it -- then you can listen on repeat wherever you like :D The beatboxing is honestly my favorite part of these solo/a cappella songs! If you like Grizzly Bear there's a version of Two Weeks that I did a while back somewhere on this channel!

Hi, i loved your cover. Do you have any kind of tabs? And would you be willing to share them? I would truly love to learn this song on my guitar.

[@ByMeganLee]

Came here looking for inspiration and I found it in droves.

Thank you!

[@PaulByHere]

Nicely done.

[@CourtHoang]

Thanks a bunch! KB is a long-time favorite of mine :)

[@GorhamP]

Really really beautiful performance and arrangements. Big congrats!!

[@CourtHoang]

Thank you so much! I spent a lot of time watching live videos of KB trying to work out an arrangement that felt true to the original and didn't drag on too long 😅

[@abdullahsarwar3139]

Beautiful!

[@CourtHoang]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SamHaugen]

This was really great.

[@CourtHoang]

Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun to put together 😊

[@elliotrobinson1358]

Great video. I've been looking for a way to play this on guitar fora while. How did you figure out the strumming on that? Amazing job and great voice.

[@CourtHoang]

Thanks very much! The strumming came mostly from the percussion in the original version, but I took some ideas for rhythms and melodies from a couple of live performances of KB. It was a labor of love to arrange, for sure!

[@elliotrobinson2068]
