Life Is A Highway Tom Cochrane cover

[willyman757]

I like the Orig,and Twangy's,and also Chris Ladeux,not to knock RF,but @55 I think they are more pop,less country

[Vanguard448]

Let's face it, you can't compare the Rascall Flatts version of this song to Tom Cochrane's version just because they're done in different styles. Tom's is more laid back; it's done in more of a 'traditional country' style. Rascall Flatts version is more of a countrified rock affair with the harmonica removed and the heavier focus on the guitars. They're both different versions of the same fantastic song and each has it's own merits. But, yes, I prefer Tom's.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@Vanguard448 - I *can* compare the two versions and can tell you it's probably the worst cover of any song I've ever heard.

[Vanguard448]

@MyTwangyGuitar Fair enough. Again, I don't think it's too bad, but everyone's opinion is different.

[chinook2008]

Cool! I enjoyed the hell out of it , Plus we finally get to see the man behind the curtain kinda. Keep it up Twang! later Dude

[MrZofo]

Give the guy a break with the tabs B.S. He already devotes countless hours making these very helpful videos. Besides if you need tabs then your not even close to being there. Focus on developing your ear, it's the best tool there is for learning music.

[fvjustwannalive]

Hi, I'm brazilian and i don't speak english but i try! HAHAHA .

Great video, congratilations for the works!

Bye

[cowboydale]

@MyTwangyGuitar - Yeah, holy cow! Did all of these people forget that Chris LeDoux recorded this song too? Don't even get me started on thye "flat rascals" Sorry to that fans of them, they're great musicians - but they ain't country! Ok, where was I going with this? Oh yeah! Chris Ledoux's version is much better and/or equal to Tom Cochrane's. I don't care for the flat rascals version at all.

As usual, greazt job on the vidoes MyTwangyGuitar, you da man!!!!

[stosselite]

what key is this song in? or do you know what key of harmonica cochrane played? I'm caught between F and Bflat.

if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

[conartist251]

can you send me the tabs please. there were some parts in the videos i didnt make out. thanx you rocked. =)))))

[Canadianspunge]

Hey, this is amazing! Everyone who is a Rascall Flatts fan, Tom Cochrane is IT, alright? THIS is real guitar! THIS is the real deal! And MyTwangyGuitar has the REAL talent!

[Cornsnake33]

Hey could you post a tutorial for the solo? Or tabs? That would be awesome!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@Cornsnake33 - Where do you see a solo?

[Canadianspunge]

i think he means the intro =P like the "solo"ish riff at the beginning

[Abnormalties]

[tai010450]

Nice playing the guitar dude and nice cover.

[17Akita]

[MegaJacksonk]

Awesome post you helped a lot! And double thanks for doing the original Tom Cochrane version!!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@dtimm612 - You bet! I wouldn't do the other version if there were a gun to my head!

[dodle123]

[lancelot2207]

awsome cover and awsome guitar is that a telecaster i just love the color.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

It's a 1973 Telecaster Deluxe.

[RedGuitars94]

what distortion pedal are u using?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

I'm using Line 6. I have a FAQ on my channel.

[RedGuitars94]

ok thanks!

sorry next time i will check on your channel ...

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Don't apologize, i especially like to help the youngsters.

[RedGuitars94]

haha thanks :P

[sergeant137]

What kind of a guitar is that?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

1973 Fender Telecaster Deluxe.

[sergeant137]

Oh, cool... never saw one with the Gibson-style humbuckers... is that an upgrade that you did?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

No, they are stock Fender humbucking pickups. They are GREAT pickups.

[wsmac7]

Came back to say Thanks, for crediting Tom Cochrane with his hit song! After I saw this video, I looked around youtube and saw everyone crediting other artists like Rascal Flatts for this song.

Tom really should get his due... great song!

And now that we have wifi at work... I can sneak a few moments to practice with your videos. I'm hoping that in another 10 years or so.. when I'm in the "Retirement Home", I can be a big STAR for all the residents. At least until they take my amp away! LOL

[wsmac7]

Thanks for this song and vid!

As usual... nice playing.

I enjoy watching your picking hand as it waits for the next entry... you keep interesting time.

Thanks for sharing the video of you and your son... too cool! I recently fixed up a broken old bass for my teen daughter and we've played just a tiny bit so far... I'd love to just really jam with her some day.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Those are the best times. My son has his own channel and he is a great player.

[dedemsvaarder]

Does anyone has a tab for the melody he is playing at 0:28 of the song? The rest of the song is good to see and learn.

Thanks for this great video.

[Jvane0507]

Yes!

Just by chance I found your channel again last night. I'm getting to go through all the vids I've missed the last few months. Really like this one.

My dad and I play together also. We don't play this rocking stuff though, which is what I like. He likes the gospel stuff so that's what we play together. We usually do a 12 bar blues thing and the Milk Cow blues. We enjoy it as I'm sure you guys do.

Anyway, loved the video. I got some catching up to do....

[ahaze]

Watching you two play together was really cool to see, Sam. Nice to see your face too, even if it was tiny and sunglassed :) GREAT song by the way! On my "roadtrip" playlist and can't help but speed down the road when I hear it!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Thanks, Andi. Any excuse to do something with Sammy is cool with me. Great kids and the moments I spend with my kids are the best.

I should have faded it out five second later, he grabs the amp and runs back to his room to play video games - ha.

[Urankar3]

GREAT5*****

[nuffim321]

I appreciate your guitars and your videos. Nothing but first class. Is there anyway you could cover Evangeline by Los Lobos. I can't find tabs anywhere.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

That's on Warners, not going to happen - sorry.

[icitnow]

Just was able to check this out now, and I think this is so cool! Now its you AND Sam jamming! That Adobe EP sure is a neat program. You pick the best songs!

[fourty5mag]

Nice job TG!!! & son.

[foreverand6days]

Super cool!! You and Son Samuel rockin' out.Good to see ya' This as All your video's are amazing!!!

[sageguitar70]

Excellent cover!! I just love this song! Like I said before...this song has one of the best choruses ever! Fantastic cover!

[dedemsvaarder]

do you use a modifid song to play along with? Because on your covers you can't hear the guitar you're playing.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

You can't hear my guitar?

[dedemsvaarder]

No, I have a bad way of writing. I mean that you can't hear the guitar that you're playing in the backgroundl song. By most covers on youtube you can hear the guitar the person is playing also on the background song what sometimes gives it a bad sound. (I Hope this is a little bit better explained, I am from the Netherlands so my English isn't that well).

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Some don't have the guitar track. If they do I mix my guitar louder.

[dedemsvaarder]

great as always
