[duttvalle]

@akangell thanks man!

[haribhari]

you're good man, but please get a better mic or editing software so we can hear your music and not all the static :)

[akangell]

@haribhari Thanks. If you check out some of my newer stuff you'll notice I handled that already. :)

[TheRealMissDanniGee]

love you <3

[TheRealMissDanniGee]

um hi...can you please be my bf? lol jk...love ur voice hun! :)

[underlinedbluetext]

solid. 

[edbean420]

love your voice man good job, tempo was a bit slow, but I wont hold that against you!

[pilotswife01]

Nice work......real nice.

[shintweek]

dude, just wanted to let you know..I know how hard that song is to play right, You are wonderful...

[anybodygotme]

Beautiful voice

[Linitaveras]

very soft beautiful version.

[NikLotus84]

Cute, talented, and a DMB fan. I'm sold! Great video.

This is one of my favorite DMB songs, from my favorite album.

[pietasharp]

nice!

[nthani]

two thumps up from the deathmetal closet dmb fan lamo!

[srednax08]

damn brotha

[Yeminime]

WOW! One of the best DMB covers I've ever heard! I really liked this

[llamawizard]

nice vocals... slowing the tempo really gave it a nice chill feeling. great work!

[RhythmRiff]

amazing

[someDEVlL]

nice work

[Gammarklar]

u know im surprised theres not a video or at least a tab of a much easier way to play this song. maybe ill do it, but you can play this song in the first position and it sounds just as good as the way dave and this guy plays it up the neck (with all the muting and all). i developed it cuz i wasnt trained enough to play it this way.

[sicog72]

i just figured out what I really love about this... It's that little smile on your face when you sing "I'm a puppy for your love." You have so BEEN there huh?

[akangell]

yup. confirmed.  :)

[WhereMyDuragAt]

lame

[erdutton]

great cover! The only critc I have is that you are missing an essential outline of a C chord in between the D and A when he sings "see whats on my mind." Great job though.

[leyzer84]

Is that a bears jacket?

[akangell]

Nope, it's an old school Starter Chiefs jacket. :)

[Smackaliley]

Really nice singing

[akangell]

thanks!

[larimar445]

WOW. i absolutely love how you sing this song!!...it is my fav DMB song of ALL TIME and you def do it justice, you have an incredible talent, keep it up! have you ever done Stay or Leave? can i be selfish and request that you do it? hehe, anyways...you are awesome! :)

[akangell]

thanks a lot. i'll try and do stay or leave before long. there's just one little part in the bridge of it i gotta get figured out with the guitar. :)

[larimar445]

Sweet! I look forward to it! all of your songs are great... dont listen to anyone who says any different...ive seen some comments on other vids,...they're just jealous, obviously! haha and cudos to you for not stooping to their level.

p.s great new songs on DMB's newest album, eh?..are you going to cover any of those soon...Seven is a good one! hehe

[Leatherback2]

That...was...simply...AMAZING! I wish I could play guitar like you do...I think is awefully hard, but in hearing you, I'm reminded of why I got an Acoustic guitar in the first place! Any pointers? Wow !

[akangell]

thanks! the only advice i can give is to just keep playing. one day it'll just be easier, then easier, then easy.

[ROSSYWOO]

Some Covers are shockingly bad, this one is the complete oposite, love it! :D

[akangell]

thanks, i'm glad. :)

[bnova942]

are you just playing it based on the tabs from dmbtabs?

[akangell]

yup. sure am.

[BrandonTrotter]

I can't figure it out. I love your version of the song, I really wish you would put together a training video. You play all the wonderfully obscure DMB songs that nobody else bothers with. Love it.

[mstaken123]

we totally dig it!!!

[akangell]

i'm glad!  :)

[mstaken123]

you have done a wonderful rendition of this song,as all your comments completely agree ..thznks for your lovely cover.

[akangell]

thanks for listening!

[GCracker23]

dude, you are really good.

you have an incredible voice.

[akangell]

thanks a lot!

[lisip]

you're voice is wonderful.

you really did this justice:)

[akangell]

thanks! i'm glad. i hate to ruin a good dave song.

[HisLoveIsExtravagant]

This is so wonderful! I just started playing guitar and it would be nice to do a few covers of dmb. Thanks for not keeping it to yourself!!

[akangell]

no problem. i'm glad you liked it.  thanks!

[norance]

emerican - the tempo is PERFECT where it is (on that note, have you heard the original version??? its really not that much faster anyway)

akangell - I think your voice and style is amazing, keep it up ;)

[akangell]

thanks, i appreciate it.

[emerican969]

pick up the tempo homie, other than that, good cover

[akangell]

it comes out different every time I play it. i'm glad you it was ok, though. :)

[cdreynolds55]

i've been listening to dave for several years now, and i just discovered this song. it's truly a great song, and you do it the justice it deserves akangell!

[akangell]

Thanks.  Yeah, great song. Not sure how you missed it all these years. I wonder what else you've missed!? :)

[akangell]

thanks. i'm glad you like it.

[11martin82]

akangell, is it just me or playing this song and singing it at the same time with davids guitar rhythm really hard??Anyway fantastic!!!!!

[akangell]

yeah, it's a tough song. I don't think I do it correctly but close enough to make it work. I'm glad you liked it.

[11martin82]

There is nothing incorrect about it, just more chilled rhythm .

[slackerbabe94]

yr pretty good dude!

[akangell]

thanks!

[Levina5]

Nice!!

[akangell]

thanks!

[thewolfera1337]

woo!

[sicog72]

wow! your version gave me chills even more then dave's. really nice voice and i like the slower tempo it makes it just drip over you like warm honey

[akangell]

i'm flattered. thanks for the kind words!

[DDYproductions]

not bad dude

[ChaseAwayDrummer]

very calming

[Cesartripe0]

nice!

[thisisonesweetworld]

Not terrible at all. Bad comments for you are irrelevant haha

I really like this cover. This might be one of my favorites of yours, even though it's really hard to choose..

[akangell]

well thanks, i'm glad you liked it. :)

[proudestmonkey93]

terrible

[akangell]

damn. :(

[eric4041]

I dont know if this was intentional or not, but the slowed down version here is done well. Nice voice, works very well. Nice job!

[akangell]

I tend to do songs a little slower than they actually are I guess. I've heard that on a few of my covers. Not really intentional. I guess I'm kinda slow. lol.

[kittyrawrcat]

That is amazing...wow...

[akangell]

thanks!

[Davo71181]

nice work sir

[akangell]

thanks

[alltheoryx]

this song is so stunning & calm.

i think you've done a stellar cover!

[akangell]

thanks, i'm glad it came out ok. :)

[pickmeuptaylor]

there's a video of dave and tim playing this song, check out the strumming he uses. but other than the strumming, this is great, really great. good voice too, wish i had that. what kind of guitar do you play?

[akangell]

This one is a Taylor 812ce but I sold it and got a 910ce. :)

[pickmeuptaylor]

i guess money falls from trees where you're from hah, i'm in the market now for a new one, im playon on a guild, an amazing guild but its time for a martin or a taylor

[seekup3436]

seriously all the taylor models rule i have a 312.. only difference is the wood, and shit a 910ce you're doing it big. Great cover btw

[DazSumner1]

nice job on what look like difficult chords. understated vocals work well. nice

[akangell]

Yeah they're definitely different chords than usual. I'm glad you liked it. :)

[guitargirlcaz]

Amazing really goood!

[akangell]

thanks!!!

[Hellokittygoomonster]

Man this is beautiful, I'm still learning how to play it. But you sing it beautifully. I hope I can sing it like that when I perform it.

[akangell]

Thanks! Maybe one day I'll actually perform it somewhere. LOL!

[torpiche]

your voice is just like Dave Matthew´s

[akangell]

wow, thanks!

[Janusdeanus]

Dude, nice! I tried to play this song, i've been working on it for hours and I'm still bad at it. This song helps though so, thanks I guess!

Cheers

[akangell]

yeah it's kind of a tough one at first. just stick with it. :)

[jayax1]

"I have no lid upon my head, but if I did you could look inside and see what's on my mind...look inside and see what's on my mind"

Excellent lyrics and again you did an excellent job covering this!

[magda976]

I completely agree with you...one of the best sets of lyrics ever.

[SsLiquid]

Awesome voice

[greg8448]

You did a great job. The guitar is over all good. The vocals were great. You did great. But i hate the lyrics, " I'm a puppy for your love." Something about it annoys me. Not the way you sang it, just the lyric itself.

[akangell]

thanks, I'm glad it came out ok for ya. I actually like that lyric a lot! :)

[jdaniellew]

absolutely beautiful. your voice is soooo smooth and lovely.

[akangell]

once again, :)

[jdaniellew]

absolutely beautiful. it makes me feel so relaxed and in love.

[akangell]

:) I'm glad you liked it, thanks.

[sanford198]

You've got a beautiful voice, man. Keep it up.

[akangell]

thanks!

[widespreadgroove]

i gave you five stars at 50 seconds man. awesome job man. its my favorite dave song and you did it justice

[akangell]

thanks! i'm glad you liked it. it's one of my favorites as well. although, i find myself saying that about a lot of dmb songs.

[JesseKerns]

Great job man! I love this song and you really play it well.

[akangell]

thanks!

[johnc1280]

get out there, open mic style, and perform man...you do a great job on all the Dave. Superb.

[akangell]

thank you. hearing stuff like that might just get me to do it one day. :)

[ACompleteUnknown]

looks like you're really enjoying playing this one.

great cover man, sounded great! 5 stars

[akangell]

yup, this is one of my favorites. i think i say that about every one of em...but oh well.

[FatLady1A]

Terrific smooth delivery and a little bit of akangell's own style coming through. Very nice.

[akangell]

thanks! that's nice to hear.

[aagirl81]
