Well done sir!!!! Great song, great album,... Great version. Thank you!... My hands were hurting and I was just watching!!!!
Wonderful rendition, Stewart. When it come to Jethro Tull covers, you are the G.O.A.T.!!!!
Martin Barre would be proud nice rendition.
Brilliant itroduction to one of my favorites. Undoubtedly, Ian has watched your thoughtful preludes, and covers, as many of us have. Getting back to my guitar now, thanks to you!
GOOD LUCK and once again bravo for rendering Anderson and Barr work all by yourself so elegantly,thanck you
I love those songs unplugged
I just love watching your fingers hammering. Not one mistake ever!
I wish that were true… but thank you very much.
Hearing TCYAS on the radio, I was instantly hooked.
Great, great, great Stewart!, As usual!. HEAVY WATER please!
Wonderful version and playing.
Excellent cover Stewart, really enjoyable, thank you.
To me this song was TULL...never seen anyone play this..thanks
Outstanding cover, great job.
Benefit was so popular with us kids in 1971 !! We were used to the U.S. version ( song line up ). I think I told you before.. I had dinner on two occasions with Martin Barre in the late 90's at North Lake Tahoe. Memorable conversation.. ✌️
Very well palyed , great cover
Enjoyed my second video of yours......and i love the tone of your guitar! Great performance!
Brilliant
Fabulous 👌
OMG. I can die now.
Waiting across the pond here for the announcement of your 1st American tour!
Bravo!
so cool. LOVE IT
Thank you sir!
you nailed this one dude
Apparently I'm first. Benefit, even if it is straightforward and riffy, has always been listenable through and through. Nice job!
Very well done, sir. That album is deceivingly tricky, as your left wrist can attest.
I’m surprised that you said that Ian doesn’t like that album - Benefit has grown on me so much over the years that I now put it in my top 5 Tull albums. It’s different enough from Stand Up that I think it stands quite nicely on its own.
Great acoustic cover. Vocals are right on. Thanks
Stewart another phenomenal Jethro Tull cover. Thanks so much. I always enjoy watching your videos. When you look up talented human being in the dictionary people will see your face!
This is awesome and I love how you even did the little riff at the very end!
Benefit is one of my favorites since I was a kid. I love the subtle cleverness of songs like this. Great job!
Very well done sir. Regardless of Ian's thoughts on the album I have always liked it. This song and Teacher stood out for me. It sounds a little more rock than Stand Up but a bit less pronounced than Thick As A Brick. It gave a hint to what was to come even as late as Minstrel in the Gallery. I've been a Tully for over 50 years and Benefit is in my top 5. Thank you.
Benefit is a brilliant album , a favourite of mine. This acoustic version is nothing short of awesome 👌. Thanks !
Amazing rendition once again! I love Benefit...transports me back to my very early teen years.
Well done
Excellent Stewart.
I always loved Benefit - and even went off JT a bit after that great album [Glenn's departure].
I hope you have decent, playable action on your guitar. If not, I can feel the muscle strain from all your great accompaniment. I find most acoustics to have awkward playability.
Maybe I've not spent enough yet!
Fantástico! Una magnífica interpretación de una gran canción. Muchas gracias!
Benefit is my favorite. Great job as always. Thank you.
Grande Stewart
Love to meet another true Tull fan!!! Keep it up young man.... Hearing your cover reminds me of how much I like this song and the album in general, and isnt that what a cover is supposed to do?//// Well done sir!!!!
Another great job, Stewart. Hitting on all cylinders- this was a challenging one to do. Got all the subtleties, again. Nice vocals, too. I agree Benefit is underrated. It has some great tunes- rock/ blues transition time for Tull.
Fabulous.
Benefit along with Stand Up and Aqualung are my favorite Tull albums. While Ian thought they were "too" conventional, the brilliance of Benefit led to Aqualung. Martin Barre came into his own and became one of rocks most underrated guitar players. But his guitar became the driving force behind Ian's music. That said, your rendition--I can't call it a cover because that cheapens what you do--is brilliant and a wonderful addition to any acoustic guitar players repertoire. Just brilliant Stewart. As I've said many times the nuance of your playing and the attention to the detail of the song should make any Tull fan happy.
thanks again for playing one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums. 👏👏👏
And the sore left hand (mine is my right) is a sign that you are putting everything into the song. Lately, I've been working on some Beatle rhythm parts of John and my wrist and hand hurt like the devil after practice!
Very nice! Please do some from the catfish rising album! Very excited to see it!
Thank you very much. I have a Catfish Rising song coming up soon. I’ve done two so far if you haven’t seen them:

No. 43: Rocks On The Road - ua-cam.com/video/o5N68IOG0yM/v-deo.html
Oh!! I was waiting so long till you eventually performed this one! Very nice, love your playing and singing, man!
I'm a Tully since 2012. My record shop dealer got me into Tull: it all started when I heard him talking about their fifth album ('Thick As A Brick'), this went on for a couple of days, then I thought: 'I definitely have to check them out!', so I decided to kick it all off by buying that very record. I wasn't aware, obviously, that 'Thick As A Brick' was to become my absolute n. 1 all-time favourite Tull album ever, followed by 'Benefit' (which is my second favourite Tull album. It features 'Inside', which is my absolute n. 1 all-time favourite Tull song ever!) and 'The Broadsword And The Beast' (my third favourite [or joint second favourite, if you prefer] Tull album. Great job! Greetings from Italy!!
Pibroch to acres wild. That was nice
Much more than simply OK! :-) Brilliant, I would say, as always 🙂 Cheers!
Great, as usual.
Pretty tame compared to the later records but Benefit has always been one of my very favorite Tull records.
Outstanding, once again! Thank you for sharing these!
Wow! Great rendition. Nice vocals and not an easy tune to play on one guitar. Excellent!👍
Love the atire. Wow. Looking awesome
Great version again. Thank you Stewart 🙏
I was maybe age 12 or 13 when I was hearing Teacher on the local radio stations - and the rest of the album on my older sister's 8-tracks :D Always thought of it as a being every bit as popular as any other rock bands at the time. Nice version, Stewart. And, as always, thank you for posting!
Well done again, sir! I strongly disagree with Ian's opinion of this album. What does HE know anyway?! 😁 If I was ever forced to pick some favorite Jethro Tull albums (please don't make me!), this would be included. And it's arguably their best. I've heard that expressed many times. It's difficult to imagine the pre Aqualung times of Tull! Hey, I wouldn't mind seeing you make some non-musical videos as well. Maybe covering topics such as YOUR favorites or album rankings. Just an idea. Fall is nearly upon us. I start some heavy duty Tull listening soon! Cheers! Stay well.
Как всегда отличное исполнение известной песни! Очень хорошо песня звучит соло, хотя ведь она исполняется группой (бандой) и с овердрайв-гитарой.
Большое спасибо за ваши добрые комментарии.
Those riffs even sound muscular on an acoustic guitar -- and apparently require some muscles to perform. Nice job at New Day, by the way.
Feel the burn! 😅
Spot on again Stewart! One of my favorite songs from the first day I heard it. Did anyone record your presence of The New Day festival that I missed?
m.ua-cam.com/channels/LcLyn4ufpWsz1Ols4APBIw.htmlvideos Hi Bill - someone kindly took some video of our performance at New Day, which you can see collected here.
Ian Andersen didn't like "Benefit'? It was like "Close to the Edge" and "Foxtrot" to me once. The perfect prog rock trifecta. (Even Metallica knows, " but I could have been wrong.")
...B R A V O.....Stu✨ - (and who puts doorknobs that high?) 🤪
Ha! It’s not the doorknobs that are high, it’s the camera that’s very low….
Standard Tuning, I presume.Sounds so but nice to have a confirm.
Hi. Yes standard tuning. (I put the non standard tuning in the notes when I use it.)
Sei fortissimo fratello! Ma facci sentire qualcosa con l'elettrica! Questa rendeva bene....
Brilliant
