[fantaciautopica]

[stratphil]

WHAT IS ASTOUNDING IS YOUR HUMILITY COMES THRU SO STRONG FOR SUCH AN ENORMOUS TALENT

[christianverardidawg]

[Artur97827]

Oh this is a very coollll Job Man!!!! Very good!

I am Braziliam this song is very important for me

You representation is very fine!!!!

God save ten years after.... Bless you...

Fine!!!!

[joestaylors]

GREAT Artistic rendition man... Bravo on origionality by clever removal of your glasses at 3:04 demonstrating how we look at the world through rose colored glasses which are removed as the song comes to its completion; what artistry and skill too LOL. Good job on the song brother; seriously man.

[StudioGuitarArt]

:( jak można zepsuć TAAAAAAAAKI UTWÓR!!!

[chuck225353]

Funny thing...I love Alvin and TYA and clearly this is one of their signature songs, however, the melody is essentially the same as the Monkees "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone." Just a thought.

[janisfan130]

Really?? Dude..get the words right...sorry this is awful! lmao

[SgtPepperGirl]

What did he get wrong? O.o It's a good interpretation!

[loizosdourakis]

tell which guitar it is plz reply want to buy a guitar at 800 full and i want  a gibson guitarr plz help me with amazing sound of course

[eriktheartist]

@loizosdourakis Gibson J-200, this one was made out of Koa woood and is a limited edition 27 out of 30 made in 1990

[TheJpw926]

@eriktheartist i was wondering if you know of anywhere that sells the Epiphone EJ-200 with that same natural finish since i cant buy a gibson. all the guitars i have found have a more tan finish or is it only a gibson thing?

[purplehazed54]

Right on!!!

[phreebeere]

great tune erik! I also play a J200! nice piece of wood! keep 'em commin'

[richard42960]

what happened to the B7 chord?

[HenrikVoldsgaard]

@HenrikVoldsgaard 

[raccoon989]

Verygood

[renanrf01]

dude! that was sick! i even pulled my guitar and improvised with a solo here haha.

[xzz0195]

Would like to hear your vocals out front more being that you're a good singer. Also it would be good to try a bit less strumming and more sweep picking or even no pick at all use your fingers (all four)...Picking individual strings.

[biykoz]

sick man o:

[gomerpilot]

tommy chong is that you?

[eckankarpaul]

Fantastic,,I loved that,,,That was passion!!!

[dallaire17]

AWSOME cover man!!!!!

[yummpyummp]

Jesus is Lord :)

[SgtMurpho]

wow very nice dude. keep it up

[cheeseppuff]

as an aucostic version, i love it, he did a great job and is really good, im just saying i like the electric version.

[bustballz]

wow! nice bro!

[Savario1990]

hell ya!

[alapal789]

this is good man !!!!

[maxcinsplace]

nice work eric

[stonemojo]

I visited with Michael Bloomfield in 70' I was 18 we sat and talked for about 4 weekends. The man was in the know in reguards to blues music and Americana.

Met as strangers, from like out of nowhere, and became friends. We talked on and off untill his passing in 1981

[eriktheartist]

@stonemojo Brilliant Nice Point & Comment!

[Bodhi364]

Erik, that was phenomenal. The irony of below is that a cover should be a creative take on an original.....you're right.....'cept now I want to do my version just like you....too funny....keep it up bro....awesome cover!

[eriktheartist]

@Bodhi364 Ha ha.. right on thanks dude...and I'd be honored if you do your version like mine.. probably more great cover tunist then good creative coverers..key is the passion with no effort, performing true to yourself! Rock on! ETA

[cerealpipe]

love your version, thanks a lot for sharing

[eriktheartist]

@cerealpipe groovy cool & thanks!

[Rainman269]

not bad,but you forgot the bass walk-ups.they make the whole song

[IbanezSons]

I LOOOOOOOOVE ITTTTT :-)

[trchrichie]

the sixties were 50 years ago buddy...

[eriktheartist]

@trchrichie yes, was a cool time I imagine

[mudspud01]

HAHAhahaha that hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

Great job like your version but your movement is fucking funny !!

[RockChild56]

Hey Erik, The song is in the key of "G' so you should use an Em and a B7 You Butchered the song.

[eriktheartist]

@RockChild56 Didn't burcher it, I did it my way... anyone can learn and play any song, isn't creativity a lost art? Why touch the original song, it's perfect the way it is... Thanks for listening.. Peace.. ETA

[andytij]

@eriktheartist

Great rendition to the song man.

I've told people before... Play ass you feel the music not like someone else plays it. You have to let the feeling guide your fingers, don't have to copy anyone.

[poopagore]

its a cover! its so stupid that people think a cover is suppose to be exact copy, its art. i like your version man keep it up

[eriktheartist]

@poopagore RIght on.. you get it! Anyone can copy or cover a tune, creativity is the key and usually non creative people don't get it! Cheers & Peace... ETA

[Raiderfn31]

that is not that bad....pick up a guitar and try to do better...

[ReVox777]

Poor.....

[stratsteff]

damn...i love your covers

i love the sound, the artists and you guy.

i think you really enjoy playing these songs and that different is wonderful.

ten years after is immortal!

[etimert07]

bad! and not orginnal

[clauncher]

definitely making it your own. i'd like to see you do it with the bar chords. ive always thought it sounded better.

[proreview3153]

foxy spider i think nomader how good or bad u do on this song alvin lee would appreciate that hes covering his song

[proreview3153]

i like how u made it ur own but i think the original is better

[1FOXYSPIDER]

everything is off!! It's embarrassing! Alvin Lee should bring you up on charges...

[eriktheartist]

Within your ignorance is brilliance. Artists take songs and make them their own.. it's silly to try and do a cover song just like the original person as it will never be as good.. it can't be so why try? Hope you open your mind up and realize art for art.. check my other covers songs on here.. they are good and not to be judged against the original version.. voila peace.. ETA

[JimRune]

This rocks. And I'm digging those teashades.

[dzalias0]

Lmao... "teashades." Jesus.

[pepelassasin1]

sorry, WRONG CHORDS, but you sing awesome =)

[LABlueForever]

Not Bad!

[bens420coin]

Siiiiick version dude!

Wasn't sure at first as it sounded so different, but i loved it in the end!! The passion in the last part of playing was awesome.

[jacksblack1]

DaMN dude, you made that your own. I would love to promote you. I could get away with putting you in front of thousands and they would think that you belonged there the whole time. Awesome.....Do not change your style for anything man, embrace it and promote it in fast forward mode, then get back in touch with me and thank me......

[tommytex2007]

damn, rock on man, this is excellent!

[NeverforgetElvis]

Great job, buddy. That was a cool interpretation.

[OneRiddum]

indeed!

[dannyt92548]

Sometimes I wish I had long hair like that. Killer guitar. Pretty good job on the cover. Nice post. Keep it up dude.

[posseidis]

Actually it's not to bad !! but there's something....maybe the little smile just after the sun glasses...

[Srgstar]

[sir60man70]

I think that is supposed to be an e-minor chord there

[Kon1003]

yeah there should be an e minor

[fishfan67]

Very nice... is that a J-200 that your playing?

[ZodiakAsHell]

1960's =hippies

1990's =yuppies

[subzeromajenta]

alvin lee, jimi hendrix, and eric clapton are the three most infleuntal guitarists to all forms of rock today.

Oooooooooo nice but I wonder? Would this song sound better on a twelve string acoustic :)

[amelitsa]

in the beggining i thought i would suck..but this is very good..nice work dude

[guitarnthn]

Pretty good but i think its e minor not major

[MarshallManiac99]

Yep the Key is G Major, so your right it's also E minor

[snachquat]

pretty good, I can't do that

[steppenwood]

Your version is good!

[AdlejandroP]

still waiting for ur Coming into losangeles

lve to hear it ur way

[jojojosmart]

far out dude!! The only one I've seen besides Alvin who has the balls to sing this song while playing.

[LizzyDouglas]

Ask "The Great" B.B.King to do this trick!

I'm afraid that B.B. fails this test.

[solitarioblues]

hi eryk congratulations if this song was a mustang you was a great jockey god bless you

[bumdrums]

that was really good man. lovin the hair. guitar and that rad shirt. keep rockin dude!!

[Nonameshame]

[eriktheartist]

yeah... love Coming Into Los Angeles.. great idea and I am working on it.. post soon.. Peace & Goodness.. ETA

[denisenkev]

erik, this is a nice take in a different way. no alvin lee, but i am sure you know that.

[AdlejandroP]

Really dislike your cover

sorry big fan of the original although u got skills

[eriktheartist]

I appreciate your comment that I have skills.. I love the original thus would not touch it like that.. thus do it my way.. why try to do something someone else all ready did I say..

Peace & Goodness.. ETA

[mthatcher61]

Dude, I laughed, I cried, I laughed and then I cried!

Lieve Erik,

Je zingt gevoelig en vanuit je hart.

Heel fijn om je vaker te kunnen zien en horen zingen op You Tube. Wat een uitvinding hé? En wat gigantisch veel mensen hebben er al naar gekeken! Geweldig Erik! Ga zo door!

Lieve groetjes uit Alkmaar ( The Netherlands)

Ik heb het altijd al gezegd, artiest zijn, zit gewoon in je! Flora, en natuurlijk ook veel succes gewenst door Fred!
