    If any record label executive watches this video and doesn't immediately reach out to this guy with a record deal, then they're an idiot. So much talent!

      There is no such thing as record executives out discovering talent in this modern day. That is a thing of the distant past.

Coming from a fellow guitarist, I like your style on acoustic, which is why I started watching your videos, but this song proves you've got a good vocal range too. Nice man

  • @chrissyshort
    @chrissyshort 5 років тому +1

    This is my favorite of all songs. I need you to do this with out all the back ground chatter. I promise I’d love it as close to Doobie as I could 💋

    • @mooknick242
      @mooknick242 5 років тому +1

      or a Doobie with Dobie.

    • @chrissyshort
      @chrissyshort 5 років тому

      brandon242 early on summer mornings I often stretch out in the kayak with a dobie listening to doobie and letting the lake rock me gently while the sun comes up all around me. Ergo I’m ready for your cover...you have the great baritone rumble like Chris Stapleton has. It’s a perfect fit. Your voice, it’s Clear and rich and full...like when you play a piano in a warm room full of afternoon sun, or like the soft burn of warmed spiced honeyed bourbon on a cold afternoon.

    Hello dean, hey my name is Cordell. Hey I had a question?
    So I’m a guitar player as well a really good guitar player I’m lead guitar in a band & I can usually figure out what lead guitar players are doing if I want to learn a song & play it like that as well I figured out the chords you where playing, I was wondering about the riff, what are you doing for the riff of the song what nots are you picking? & also I really like how you are muting the strings a lil bit tho out the song it’s sounds really nice, but anyways if you can get back to me on that riff & how to play it I would much appreciate it, hey man thank you for letting me ask my question, I’m looking forward to talk to you, thanks man!

    @elihernandez7257 3 роки тому

    I think you've got great vocals. And a lot of potential. I think your singing was great. However your performance needs Improvement in order to sell the song with your body language. The first thing I would do is remove that stool and then get a strap for your guitar because you and your body sing that song will be beautiful effective by your body language if you work on your performance and sell it by your sincerity. Which I know you can very easily do with a little practice.
    I very much enjoyed listening. Thank you
