I've been watching your videos for the past couple hours, you are simply amazing. You have inspired me to pick up my Bass Clarinet again, I have not played in 5 years. You are amazing.
I you do not get tired of listening and observing that you are a person with very much talent, i want to be like you. I also feel the music, and I would like to play all the melodies that your you play, you're great, I had liked to have a dad like your.
I've posted before and I always find myself saying that I love your arrangements. your use of bass, too, is astounding. you really managed to convey the gentle nature of that song- the loneliness, the fragility- and bring it around in the end to ultimately express hope and renewal. I absolutely loved your version of this wonderful song.
i've been playing for 33+ years now. i've never stuck to a regular practice regimen per day though. It varies wildly. nowadays i play 2 to 3 hours a day if i'm lucky
That was truly amazing. I love the way the canter of the music is so easy and light, but complex at the same time. It seems so care-free, but I know that every little delay, every run, every thing is planned and carefully executed. Bravo, sir. I only wish I could make music like you do.
yeah, that's pretty much how i do it. Elton does it in e-flat or f or something so i learned it by ear with a capo or tuning the guitar up a step. Learned the bass first. then chords, then melody. then did away with the capo and did it in this key with the same relative left hand positions.
Very, very good. Specifically, you are adept at identifying and highlighting what the ear notices in this song (which is not easy to define) and translating it into a piece playable on your single instrument.
This is brilliant! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing it and for taking the time to learn all that! It sounds so nice on acoustic, especially the fingerstyle
Very lovely, I like to practice singing to your playing, your sound helps me develop a more mellow tone quality. I like to practice singing and hope to develop as a singer, Id really like to learn to read and get good at piano and guitar as well, also I play clarinet, but just watching folks like yourself really inspires, and as you play it is also like you are teaching as well cause one can watch multiple times and learn more about playing dynamics etc..thanks again!
Damn good job man. Keep playing. I've never heard just a guitar version and I loved your pace and I was able to sing along when I wanted to. Great cover, keep playing.
Nice work here, i play piano and I find it amusing that you have played a lot of the Piano licks on guitar as fills. well done. Beats rhythm guitar!!! :-D
I learned this song from watching your video about 100 times. Pausing every few seconds of course. I want to record my version of this ( no where near as good as yours ) to show you what you've taught me ( unknowingly ). Oh and thank you.
my appreciation to your work increases with every video i watch. really a quality job you've done here... and let me add- this one isn't far off the original tune- just use a capo on the 1st fret ;)
Seriously you think those emergency service vehicles could show a little more respect.
I loved how the siren at 0:15 was in tune with the song. lol Great playing.

Absolutely fantastic! You are still one of the best and most inspirational phenoms of UA-cam!!
Great! The best instrumental version of this song! God bless you hands and your mind!
