The Sea and the Rhythm (Iron & Wine Cover)

[Bigstubby1]

Nice cover

[androo4salez]

I think it'd be a bit better at a slower tempo, but it's still good. You've got good pipes too. The original is more moving, but you did alright.

[jifigz]

Hey man, is that a D-15? If it is are you pleased with it?

[brandnewwine]

we got the same guitar, bro

i think you play it a bit better tho

[mangoooboi]

hey..that was beautiful man. Could you send me the chords and the strumming pattern. I am trying to learn this, thanks so much...keep up the awesomeness...

seriously..Greatt...

[shawnruby]

i think you did fine man. If you want to, check out some of my stuff. Iron and Wine is my biggest inspiration.

[honestresponse]

totally weak voice. choppy chord changes which are distracting.

[Jest]

@lambdachi1826 sweeeeet a flame war. You guys are making my day more fun. =)

[Clearly69]

The jammin part is missing at the end, but he rather act stupid instead.

[Jest]

Tah-dah!

[adamgue125]

Very talented.  Keep it up! (I wouldn't worry about writing songs about sex, and Iron and Wine's song isn't as blatant as you might think).

[lmdrivas]

You learned this in one day?

[Nomadbushman]

its a really ez song to learn

[iajua]

I like It.

[boysxlikexgirlz]

wow, your cover is almost as amazing as the original. the guitar is amazing, and your voice is great for this song, almost as good as sam beam, ur facial expressions kinda freaked me out, lol, well lack of facial expression, lol, but i loved it!

[googoomisfit]

i did a comment on this one a year ago and i still like it. maybe i like it even more now. this time, it almost made me cry. your voice is beautiful.

[crazyness111]

& you did I great job on this cover.

[Jest]

oh ok, for a second I thought you thought I wrote this song. :P I wish I did, it's a very nice song. Though I dunno how I feel about writing a song so blatantly about sex. XD

[crazyness111]

Yeah I realized it sounded like I thought that so thats why I added that you did a great job on this cover :P

lol

The you being a great song writer was just a general statement from seeing all your originals and loving them :)

As for the blatantly about sex thing it's true lmao :P

[crazyness111]

I really find your guitar quite beautiful, and plus your a really good song writer :)

[soulssecrets]

i discovered iron and wine a few days ago, and i love this version of the song. ur really talented. and even though its sped up it still sounds great! =)

[shif602]

this is one of my favorite iron and wine songs. i've been meaning to cover it for a long time, but your seriously did it a lot of justice... this is really awesome

[dlinet]

I only found this video a couple days ago and I think I've already listened to it 10 times. do you have an mp3 version you could perhaps post a link to? That would be fantastic. I learned of this song through your video, and when I downloaded it, I learned the original is much slower. However, it had already been set in my mind as how you sang it so now unfortunately I can't appreciate the original as much. So yea, if you could post an Mp3 somewhere, please let me know :)

[ShellUMS]

I actually like how you sped it up a bit. It added you own personal twist to it. Well done :)

[Charna44]

Pretty voice.

[warrdawg06]

sped up a little but done very well

you actually did justice to one of my favorite songs :)

[Jest]

Yea, I dunno what it is about Iron and Wine songs, I intend to play them correctly but I speed up somehow. playing it slow and in tempo is actualy really hard. So I without thinking revert to my natura speed. XD I'm glad you like it. =)

[Cynigirl76]

So beautiful voice! I could listen to you and your guitar playing for hours ^_^

[Alyaziah]

BTW may i ask? what are the chords of this song and what's the plucking style?

[warrdawg06]

one of my favorite songs! you did an awesome cover of it!

[banananutpie]

really nice!! I have check this twice XD

I love acoustic guitar!!

your voice is good as well !!!

hey! Me, a fan from CHINA huh

[iownjoo]

Your finger picking technique's great, haha.

Not a big fan of Iron & Wine, but you did 'em justice.

[sleepychick12]

u did great considering u just learned it that day

top notcg guitar playing and singing

love this sobg and u played it brilliantly

[ElineAndHerGuitar]

ur good :-)

[Clochard108]

Definitely a good job.

The ending was the best part though.

[Jest]

I think that ending scares people. XD might have more views without it. XD Who knows. It's good fun. I'm glad you enjoy it. :P

[Clochard108]

I like how you said you "discovered" them today, lol.

Great job.

[failedperfection]

wow

really really good.

love it :D

your voice is really smooth, love listening to it

keep going

:D

[flipinchicago]

good cover

[lxm]

falling for you :P

[JessyH0ney]

very well sang and played! i love this song too! haha, your ending was cute ^_^

[googoomisfit]

it's amazing, and it touched me [can i say that? my english is bad, dunno if i can say 'it touched me' oO].. anyway. it touched me, whatever... i love your voice, it was .. great, and veryvery emotional... aaand.. the ending rocks. ^-^

[Jest]

Yea it means 2 things though. I know which one you mean, and thanks. =)

[SaileAway]

hahaha

[Hoodedfigure831]

this is beautiful. i wish i could create something like this.

[britty633]

wow you have a really soothing voice i like how you didn't overdo it

[Tatumz12]

do more iron and wine, your voice is better than sam beams

[MinaLugosi]

Beautiful.

Very very beautiful.

Lovely voice too.

[LittleRaveGirl]

dude, you make me cry <3

so much better than the original, you put more emotion to it.

[qhowtostartafire]

are you joking? this vid is excellent and he definitely did the song justice, but more emotion than the original? sam beam wrote the song. dont think it gets more involved than that.

[renny4200]

i agree with you completely.

[lakeofkeego187]

that is really good man

[jirdimaster]

Is that the martin dxk2 koa?

[Jest]

Yar. I allways forget the numbers inside but I think your right. XD

[jirdimaster]

I want one of those really bad.

[apollosgirl]

You play beautifully and I love your voice. Awesome cover.

[toddlej]

this is absolutely gorgeous. it seems like such a different song, but i like this version as much as the original. someone mentioned that the different vocals before but it really does make feel a lot more intimate. heh..

basically, all this rambling is trying to say is good job & keep it up! (:

[Josh0889]

Good cover

[bubbleflower37]

pretty

[rainbowkidinlove]

I really love this song, and what you did to it was really amazing. I really enjoyed your voice and the faster tempo, although I like both versions. :)

[weever5000]

love the ending dude

[Jest]

Your the first I think. XD

[fi7z]

marry me.

[Tyrell1123581321]

awesome

[redking15ca]

how long you been playing?

[Cadbury102]

Great work.

[therealchetbango]

Nice work, I think I may like your version better, the faster tempo and less breathy vocals on your version give it more immediacy.

[sjoeh]

amazing sound and amazing voice

= D

[lgfuad4lyf]

i rly rly enjoyed this. do you play at any cafes or anything like that. i'd rly like to hear u live.

[LiveForever333]

never stop playin, man. that was awesome.

[fawnzy586]

fantasmic job sir.

[CheeseFlavoured]

I am absolutely speechless. Your voice is so beautiful, I love this. Great job ^.^

[Mirjahmmm]

OMG! really good,,just like your other songs =)

[muhina1]

Wow, I am really impressed! You are great!!!

[IndieRockIsLove]

Youre realllly good!

[ThePredictable]

I love this rythm... I can't play like that yet. Never heard this song before, but it sounds very good. I should probebly buy a CD or something.

Good night?

[jirdimaster]

It's Adrien Brody with a guitar, just kidding really good job dude its going on my favs.

[Jest]

I guess I can kind of see the resemblance. XD

[tinkkiou]

Woohoo for you discovering Iron & Wine! Sam Beam is THE BEST :) :) :) You're quite good, I enjoyed it. Good luck!

[InsomniacDirectory]

that kicked ass... great singing

[lindsayevans07]

that. was. stunning.

[zZzYQ9]

You have a beautiful voice. You did well with the cover. ^.^

I love Iron and Wine.

And. Totally loved the freak out at the end. >.>

[lollizzy]

wo i love this version and u r a really good singer. keep it up!!!

[Otherside49]

i think this faster version suits the song better because the original is slower, and even though its good it sounds better faster to me. nice job man.

[idub]

You are awesome dude! Good voice and good playing.

[jaredjerabek]

Wow, this is a fantsastic song! And you play so well!

I'm a big fan :]]. I hope to be able to play as well as you someday ;)

Tell me, is this the style of playing they call "fingerstyle" guitar?

[johnpaularthur]

yes this is fingerstyle

[HBK316]

Not bad at all actually! I give u 2 thumbs up!!! :D GOOD JOB! And I love Iron And Wine!

[HBK316]

U also have a magnificent voice! MORE!!!

[trevah15]

pretty guitar...is it a martin?

[sportsman214]

did a great job, even tho i love iron and wine, i feel they do go a little too slow lol. perfect pace, great voice. great job.... iron & wine has many songs that you could do a cover to!

[Jest]

Yea, though I don't notice when they do it. Then suddenly I try to play it and I can't help but play it faster. XD

[superwolf76]

Nice cover. One of my favorites of his. Fess up, unless you were kidding, that you didn't just pick up the song that day and cover it that day.

[Jest]

no, That's pretty much what happened. XD I usually record the same day I learn a song. except for maybe Mad World, Elliott Smith Twighlight and the AFI one. I'm glad you like this one, I like it too, besides a few of my screw ups. XD

[Quinnius]

yayyyyy good job. also nice retardation in the last couple of seconds i enjoyed that

[Jest]

It was such a soft beautiful song, I couldn't help but ruin it. XD

[foogledoo32]

very good

[samsblues]

beautiful. well done mate

[ashleigh0721]

You play very well and you sing just as well. You even balance both pretty well, nice blend. Keep doing what you do...and if you ever recorded a cd...I'd definitely make a purchase :)

[gulrezm]

hey bro good job on the guitar i cant do it as well as you

[blueofdaybreak]

You sing so well!

[theredard]

This is still fantastic, even if I have watched it time and again.

You are awesome.

[k3ystone]

wow..you have an awesome voice

[MartinFarrows]

very soothing voice man!

[ultimategarrett1]

oh, I like the elliott smith and regina cover as well

[Cogumelo26]

God! you are very talented, very impressive indeed :). Can you help me find the tabs for this one? I think the tabs from ultimate-guitar are diferent, aren´t they? I would appreciate your help.

[devanlm]

I like this better than the original, even though Sam's voice is really unique, i think your's suits it better. Its very soothing. Lullabye quality

[ultimategarrett1]

better than iron and wine? I seriously doubt that my friend.

[Jest]

People can like whatever they want, better than whatever they want. I personaly don't think mine is anywhere near as good as the original. The point isn't to be better or worse though. It's just a great song. =P

[ultimategarrett1]

It is a great song, and you did a great job covering it! However, if I did a iron and wine song I would almost be offended if someone said I was better because I dont think many people can measure up to that

[Jest]

Even if I don't agree, I try no to get in the way of other peoples opinions. I see where your coming from though. =)

[pabloescobarpompa]

wheres the tab

[Jest]

Somewhere on the internet. Not by me...on some tab site.

[iAMkirstie]

lol omg that was good...ima subscribe

[jayrn06xhbs]

how are u playin that?

[Jest]

What do you mean? I thought I was playing it with a guitar. o.O

[queenofire150]

i think you did an awsome job!

[gothbaby5656]

hey, when ur on msn next time, im learnin this song and i need help, HELP MEEEE!! XD

[Jnp351]

[niveous8]

[billmaster]

absolutely beautiful :D. u make me wanna give u a hug. sam would be proud if he heard this <333

[newyorktd]

loves it... thanks. you feel what sam felt and i see the waves crash in. yokudekimashita.

[neonsmorgasbord]

I loved the whole thing. But the ending was the best. Personality is always welcome. I love Iron and Wine and you did them justice. Hopefully I can buy your cd in a few years. Ha ha.

[angieforsyth]

Hey - god I was impressed dude. I'm a big Iron & Wine fan...did you pick this up by ear or can I find sheet music somewhere x

[Jest]

There was a tab on the net, should just be a google search away. =P

[liljonzy007]

[paddleshrk]

I am a 36 year old man, happily married with two kids. I get goose pumps when ever I see somebody doing the best they can! With that, you can move a nation it you so want... Keep it going brother!!

[sniperdubey]

wow dude, completly rocked my world, but you should have ended it at 3:15

how long have you been playing

[6461]

how long have you been playing?

[omanderso]

put some soul in it, boy.

[tuesdayblues]

steller :)

[biglexy12]

You are a weirdo. Give up playing the guitar.

[Jest]

You're a sexy beast. Let's grow old together and have many children.

[giantrobotbil]

learn to recognise talent or find something better to do

[omanderso]

soul > talent

[mystupidminds]

i got goose pimples <3

[cogitoergosum69]

You are SO talented. I am impressed. You will go somewhere....no doubt. Great song choice by the way, one of my favorites.

[Leelowww]

It's really funny but when i saw you, i was to a thousand miles to imagine what you played and sing that beautiful.

Good surprise, carry on, that's very good.

[Letskate]

what are you playing that makes it sound so much for complicated than the original song ?...i like it

[Jest]

Probably just cause I'm playing it faster.

[PhyrricDancin]

This song is pretty awesome and you play it well, by the way that guitar is beautiful.

[nimko2]

i think this ones my favorite out of all your covers,

cool guitar.

[brighteyeskid]

i adore iron & wine, especially this song, its one of my favorites. lovely job, hun =] &hearts;

[twodayslatertdl]

iron and wine is terrific. you play it well. plus, i like the dgcfad tuning. sounds awesome.

[predacon76]

dude, amazing as usual! keep on rocking (u make the ladies go crazy man XD!)

[KayteLeto]

why do the perfect guys always have to be the ones that you'll never actually meet. grrr.

[Jest]

Perhaps cause the mysterious never meet part seems to add to peoples idea of perfect. =P atleast that's what it seems like from the comments I get.

[lyletuck]

Dude...you need to cut that video off at 3:16. Your little "prairie school freakout" at the end of the song almost ruins it.

Almost, but not quite. Your version of this song is panty-dropping good.  I think this faster version works, and your voice is simply wonderful. Well done.

[sexynick17313]

good taste in music beautiful! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[chiakat]

.... i worship you.

thats it

*bows*

[whatupmyasian]

tommy lee: "DUDE, that song is totally gonna get u laid."

[marliito]

oh my god, this song is the best. good job, man, congratulations

[marliito]

oh my god, this song is the best. good job, man. congratulations

[aurevoircielbleu]

Marry me, please.

[Jest]

okie doke.

wait...*thinks* actualy maybe not. Considering I have no idea who you are. XD *runs away* =P

[aurevoircielbleu]

B-But D': I want your body :(

And then you could sing to me all the time =D

[Jest]

A boney body like mine? Why would any respectable young lady want such a thing? =P Or atleast I'm assuming your a lady. XD

[aurevoircielbleu]

You assumed right =D But the real question is, why WOULDN'T a lovely lady like myself want your body? I'd molest you in a second ;D

[Applethorne]

Really nice job on this, your voice sounds great.

[Saccader]

Oh wow, this is fantastic. :D

[ld305]

i usually dont leave comments on videos where theres singing cause so many people are completley unaware of true "talent" --not saying that i know what it is, but i couldnt help myself here. your voice is incredibly soothing, i just sat here and watched almost all your videos and im impressed :) i wanna buy your cd or hear you play live! so uh..go on tour. and come to texas.

damnit now i sound like the mindless idiot i was trying to avoid being

[incrediboixattacks]

Boy, you've got talent.

[TessLove]

i love iron and wine :) good job.

[postalsock]

you have a really good voice, and im being blantanly honest. If you sounded like shit i would say hey kid your fucken garbage, but you sound good. keep up the good work

[Jest]

Haha, well thanks. =P

[yumtastychicken]

Your voice is amazing! It's really really really lovely! Ah I can't describe it!! That's always a good thing :)

[Jest]

Coming from you that's really something. Thanks muchly. =)

[krjufhre]

This is beautiful..*tear drop*.....your great! x

[spacecowboy2606]

Sweet.

cool...how do you get these great songs everytime? i dont find any songs which are good n easy to play, and youve got so many of them...
