I like it. but you need some more range in your voice - my two cents.

[ACoryG]

you need soul brutha

Wow, I thought this was gonna be terrible. Exceptional voice, you should write some of your own songs. Takes a lot of time, trust meee. xD

[bls032003]

sweet man

[getdat04]

Your good dude! Keep singin'!

[jmd11185]

not bad, interesting verse right when you went into the chorus it was gold but then it almost sounded like you over sang after that point. Its hard not too after hearing shinedowns version.

[sammysole1]

capo?

stick to creed

you cannot sing ronnie van zant

[montreemtx]

Excellent  performance....

Singing and playing is outstanding....what a wonderful one man band.

[acousticoriginals]

awesome voice, great cover

[maciekw1989]

Dude you are great!!

[ThePatriots16]

You should be signed to a big record label. You could be if you can come up with some original material. Your incredible....

[linerider565]

your awesome! you should be on tv or something

[ashlea1488]

You know,

This is an amazing cover.

Every cover has its own sound.

Yours is a little softer,

But amazing.

[LuvLeeM]

Not rock enough... too sing-songish..

[mriley8391]

you should cover "come sail away" instead lol. Van Zant is rolling over in his grave for this

[thedeadbeats]

@mriley8391 yeah after he rolled over for kid rocks butchering of sweet home alabama. that mother fucker prolly made more off of all summer long than sweet home alabama and werewolves of london made combined. fuckin pitiful.

[MarleyTheRockstar]

If you want to learn the song properly I can give you the tab...

[nothingreallymatter1]

que dire?so beautiful! great cover, great cover, congratulations!

[rocketdog313]

your voice isn't that good for the skynyrd version i ain't ever heard the shinedown version but anyway your way better than me lol

[terrymanolitsis]

too much compression on the final mix man, sort it out.

[Polium101]

You might aswell increase the pitch on you'r ending registre.

[megaladon52]

there is no getting away with anything, its just a cover and people like it, so they put it on their album, why wouldn't you do that, answer me that!

[Glendasmm]

I absolutely loved it....when I first saw you I thought omg this is gonna be bad... younger people havent suffered enuf to truly know the wisdom in these words.. like singing the blues...a certain amount of suffering makes one live the song ~ Good job !!

[LordTaylorK]

@Glendasmm i think it depends. some 10 year olds have suffered more than most 30 year olds. i know what you mean though.

[megaladon52]

and it worked didn't it, guess they aren't so dumb after all

[mariateresa13407]

yeldarb107 he plays C G and Am

its not that hard.

just watch his hands:P

[marioshinoda16]

GOOD STAFF

Good voice

Good guiar

good play

and you should go to the BAND!!

[yeldarb107]

what chords does he play

[arpro111]

you never record an acoustic guitar like he did ! Use a mic in front of the guitar

[jimbow56]

Way good man!

[megaladon52]

too bad shinedown did it way better, no doubt bout that though!

[polander76]

lynyrd skynyrd did it best, they wrote it, they perfected it, nobody else can touch it

[megaladon52]

no way, skynard sucks they never wail when they sing, they just sing, its sad when people think when people practically talk the song that its good, shinedown actuallys ings it and their rendition is 10 times better hands down!

[HelenaMCRomance]

wailing isn't singing and has nothing to do with a good singing voice.

[ruggyrugg0]

on the guitaring.....youre just picking the chords....its not just straight chords...

[viktors]

haha lol! Skynard thought the guitarist of shinedown how to play, and their music is ifluenced like hell by him. OFC that they will show their effection and gratitude by doing a cover of one of hes songs

[weldergrodd]

Fuck all the bitch ass haters on here who just talk SHIT, cause the only thing they can play is air guitar on their daddy's dick while singing a cover of Lady GAGA's poker face, except it's their version and it's called POKE MY FACE...... This is a BADASS cover, keep it up dude..

[dewebob4]

hey that was good cheack out mine and comment please

[austinsg16]

fuck all these guys. ur kickass

[keleseyocean]

jesfunshine what ever u r , why even fucking comment. many people covered it. Shinedown put simple man in one of there albums, i thought they sang it at first, so stfu,.. good vocals.

[clarkkentification]

look dumb ass Lynyrd Skynyrd not shinedown. if you haven't heard the really version then you need to do that before you every pick up an instrument again. if you have then youre being a fag for putting shinedown on the title.

[jesfunshinebear]

uhm.. shinedown covered it.. and it's good. he's covering a cover. you're being a fag for being a retard.

[LeaderGrim]

It is by Skynyrd, but Shinedown has a much better version. Brent Smith is a much more talented vocalist. - Pertaining to THIS cover, his voice IS too low.

[clarkkentification]

who told you that lie? shinedown is a good band but they screwed that song up.

[tvdosa]

täpp i näsan.. lyrics? wtf

[sabbi696]

i really dont like your voice..its too nasally

[clarkkentification]

i think he has a cold. plus when you sing something like that your voice is going to be a little through the nose.

[skintoaster]

dude you suck what the hell

[1BANEZxxJS1000]

I <3 you in a non gay way.

[RebelFlagForever]

Your bullshit with mic effects.... NO ONE CAN BEAT LYNYRD SKYNYRD!

[scottmclees]

turn the mic effects off dude show some emotion like skynard or brent

[MrCrazydude123321]

Dude this is originally done by lynyrd skynyrd not shinedown. U kick ass though

[DieHardSkateboarding]

does it really matter?

[skateflip1717]

he says that in the description! haha, and yeah he is good!

[Vamped750]

hey man, this is great...I just picked up the guitar last week and have been working on learning how to play and this is the song I picked to learn with. It's been tough for me but I'm getting there. You keep up the good work..great voice too.

[NiteMareVamp]

wow, you really are great :D

you did really well with this song, especially with the guitar, but I just don't think you have a strong enough voice for this song, and you tried a little too hard at the 'simple man' part :( I dont mean to be offensive, I just dont think this songs for you. Overall though, you did great :)

[themonkcalf]

no lie i have listened to every one of your vids and you are exeptional i only wish i was as good and please to god keep showing the world your gift :)

[SkinnyisSexy69]

ya its not bad man..good job..

[owee67]

AWESOME!!

[rumncokecanada]

good tunes yo

[friedolayz]

u

suck

you need to stop being a tool

[rahan1704]

Keep on singing, man ! Quite a good voice. Just try to make it more quiet on the guitar occasionally, I mean some finger picking from time to time, just to restart again with a new intensity. Awesome cover anyway.

[gothicpride2]

fuck you haters I'd like to see you do better you have an amazing voice keep it up

[patchcords]

awesome cover...but turn the "attack time" down on compression for guitar and use it for the vocal mic :-)

Great work !!!

[xGuitaRxxHer0x]

Way too much compression on the guitar

[joesimmons90]

Loved it

[0530616]

Sounds like a chris daughtry wannabe

[Jimmymies]

awful. Like this song VERY much, but cant stand this version.

[jakespidermonkey948]

u got it wrong from the begining you idiot.

both shinedown and lynyrd skynyrd will shoot you.

[Nidawg]

dude nice work. Your guitar may be a 6-string, but it sounds sorta like like a 12-string which is awesome. 5/5

[justinrock27]

to much effects for me but i really liked it has some originality

[rleet2002]

nice job- i bet ronnie and allen would be good with your rendition-or they would want to kick your ass-knowing ronnie

[jakespidermonkey948]

its a mixture of both versions

[EdwardLover1901]

great job dude.. keep up the good work

[yella322]

if shinedown didn't even rite the song................. how can you call it a shinedown cover?

[naguitarhero]

because shinedowns guitar and vocal arrangement is different from the original if you actually listen to it.......some peoples voices fit one of the versions better than the other

[Dougie666]

So how do you Cover a band of a band who covered the song? wouldnt you just cover The Original anyone else?..nvm.

[gotchanowdog]

Great job guy!!!

[magu0117]

very good cover! Although i would prefer this song sung a bit darker - but thats just personal preference. Keep on rockin!

[SSadler51]

a little more attention to detail in some spots like the high note at the transition at the end of the chorus. Nice though brother

[fartanimal]

decent cover.....really shweet guitar...and you have a good voice...but I realyl dislike you annunciation of your words....and your dynamics are weird as well....

and you fucks if your gonna criticize someone...give them some advice and constructive criticism.

[jschluep]

dude, i guaruntee non of the haters who left shitty comments about this cover could not hit one of the high notes you did....screw them...i mean im sure u don't care...but don't listen to them

[hellfiredod]

fucking terrible cover... waste of your time.

[gulleyso]

im getting fed up with seeing hacks with sweet guitars

[manthamay23]

wow, i think you have a great voice

[bigfuccinjerk]

great cover man! I love it. take a look at my acoustic cover,

[JimmyWerba]

You should listen to the soul of a man before you play his words.

[pmoreno24]

Horribad! try again

[Sneadster]

pretty damn good. but you aint emphasizing the notes...........either way, pretty badass

[6StringMusic4]

check out bands cover of this song (great song)

[bigfuccinjerk]

great fuccin job "period" hey bro take a look at my version. comment god or bad. no way im at you status but would appreciate it anyway

[yourultimatekiller]

Original was by Lynard Skynard. Not by Shinedown. I just think this version is better.

[alexjennings7]

read to the right side of the vid bro.

[rva777]

he said.. A DOOBY DOO THIS, SOME SUNNY DAY

[stratman54241]

great cover,keep it up,don't listen to the negative comments from people who probably don't have an ounce of talent!

[SKYNARDisBEST]

good cover.

but need another voice.

4/5

[MrViktorrr]

what are you talkin about ;o

[snatchet]

i think he ment to harmonise with??

[Lenjia]

Hope you still have your day job dude!

[stratman54241]

and you probably don't have an ounce of talent in your whole body asshole!!

[brokencrutches]

tht was great man. not tryin to tell u how to do things but try deepining your voice.

[lowdenlover]

this is like telling another dude to grow a larger package....get real!

[Lenjia]

Hey little boy, if he can't take the criticism then he sure as hell is in the wrong business, and what kind of talent do you have stratman. I guess you play your little air guitar in front of the mirror ever night...lol...lol...lol...or your Guitar Hero game, keep wishing, hope you still have your day job also!

[VincentJVera]

Oh my gosh, I want that guitar...Supoib guitar playing man...Really, really cool voice too..

[joerhett30]

VEEEERY nice buddy. i loke the change to the original chords. A+

[kiidso0freshh]

you got a lot better since the last time i saw you on youtube,

good shit,.

[nicandnateshow]

You nailed it!!

Nice

[killswitch6988]

very good i like it

[ReidPeters03]

gibson.....gibson

[ashlover666]

brilliant, your voice is intoxicating :)

[gregory49]

Very monotone.

[ZZZZZYYYYYXXXXXWWWWW]

you bother me!!!!!!!

[Jirumiku]

You sound exactly like the lead singer from Taproot.

[sublimerasta]

Oh and to Dan: You are awesome at the guitar! Your playing is so smooth and relaxed, it puts me in a great mood. I don't know what it is about your voice, but (not to be redundant) it doesn't have that rock resonance. Not to say it isn't good, you have a fantastic voice. I apologize for flaming your great video with the nonsense below. Keep the music coming!

[sublimerasta]

Calm down, you took plenty of pot shots at me and I took none of it personally. I just happen to use words like "idiot" to emphasize my point, not to define your intelligence. I have plenty of respect for Skynyrd, I was just making you aware that not everyone knows Skynyrd did it first. It's obvious I have frustrated you and I think you need to take a big boy timeout from youtube for awhile. Have your parent or guardian disable text comments so you can cool down a bit. (No offense, seriously!)

[mgmdickson]

Dude, first time I've had the opportunity to listen to you and I have to say Great Job! I've been a fan of Shinedown since they started and a fan of that song for much longer. Best of luck to you, you really got something.

[Xmaxi24X]

its kinda annoying how he's singing...i mean don't get me wrong...he has a great voice...but if he would sing the song how its suppose to be it would sound that much better..

[thechiliman500]

It is good...but...the best acoustic cover still has to be shinedown....

[jorgewiles]

dude i think ur awesome, pretty spellbinding! have u heard the deftones cover of this song, great version

[murph5103live]

i dont like the pick pattern

[mandolin12348]

i didnt either

[corvette595]

i have to agree he is not singing in the correct key

[sexyplant]

man you sing a pretty good but voice(

[CAPSONcapsoff]

dude its good and all but you voice is shit compared to brent but it was still god but its not your style

[dominikracker]

dude that was amazing 5/5

[keller3]

Listen to shinedown's cover. Actually, just listen to brent smith sing. And try covering one of there songs. GOOD LUCK.

[AnnRaze]

I think he has an incredible good voice but in fact

it does not fit on this song.

Nevertheless it´ s still very good :)

[CodyWareham93]

Love it man !

[bbrat43]

Hey, respect the classics, man

Long Live skynrd

[bbrat43]

Skynyrd ops

[lizr51293]

i like the Shinedown version better than the Skynyrd one. and this one is just as good as the Shinedown version

[rockismymusic]

you, are a douche queef. no offense...this guys voice cannot TOUCCHH brent fucking smith's. but hes good..

[mackadella]

shit no.... this is horrible compared to the shinedown one

[mandolin12348]

shinedown is shit compared to skynyrd

[Rihel004]

what about.... no

[jonathaniscool531]

skynyrd rocks my socks.
