Very very good! And you figured it out old school style with no tabs! Impressive! Your tone is very clear with nearly every note ringing out. Bravo! The only comment I was going to make was on the tempo, but you addressed that in your info :) maybe you should do it again at tempo and with a little more light so we can learn.
never cried from the original, but i cried listening to your cover. no lie. amazing cover, i feel it has more emotion built up in it, probably due to the faster tempo. excellent work.
I love it, the atmosphere of the song is perfectly translated. Your guitar fretboard seems to be very confortable to play, or maybe is it your playing which is outstanding :-) ?
I now have access to youtube at work, and began finally listening to your music. It makes me smile while making power tool spreadsheets. Thanks for making such sweet noise and for having such a sweet ass...
mannnnnnnnn I can't even express how much I like this!! and it's so refreshing too after seeing so many elliott covers that just lack everything that what really made his songs great. Very, very good. one of the best videos I've seen of ALL videos.
I actually don't know what gauge or brand of strings I use. I change them purely out of necessity, or when I feel like my sound is dead (nothing beats brand new acoustic strings). For the time being, I'm using... (goes to check what he just bought) d'addario 10 or 11 gauge (the light set, whatever gauge that is).
yup. that's pretty much right on. a little too fast though. still real nice. amazing actually. i finally tried playing it in open C like you do the other day but i'm still off a bit. anyway, good job.
Alright, I'll write a tab when I get some free time, although I really feel like a tutorial video might be of more help. Tabs get confusing after a while, and I noticed that youtube cut down on the video quality (in the original you could make out the frets, but my fingers still hide what I'm playing). Give me some time to do both for you; I'll try to make it as accurate as possible. It'll be more accurate than most of the tabs out there for sure.
Excellent! A YouTube user who is actually willing to help others? Very rare. A video would be extremely helpful, you're right, but I didn't think you'd want to do that, so either is fine. I'd just love to play an accurate version of the song. I appreciate your efforts.
Whoa - slow down. Otherwise, brilliant.

Man NintenjoPower, you're really great. Just out of curiosity since your bending seems really easy, what gauge and brand of strings do you use?

the strings are tuned so loose they become really easy to bend ...i just wish my guitar wasn't so buzzy when that low.

@hserokdivad
the reason his bending seems so easy, is because it's 2 steps down in Open C tuning.

Excellent performance. I'll take you up on your offer to explain the song, if you could provide a tab or such. One of the hardest to find by Elliott.
