This is great man. Very good voice for this song

[mmxp13]

Really nice but the end was pretty gay(when you turned your head to lookout)

[bkershaccount]

great job, i'm gonna play it just like this...but i sing like shit, haha!

[twentyfirstcentury21]

wonderful cover!!

[MultiCrash98]

it comes me to say that your cover is better than the sound it-self....really.

[linkinman48]

Amazing.

Period.

[JarrahRainbow]

you kinda sound like White, nice dude

[samonyak]

awesome cover! almost too good cause it sounds very similar to the original. anyway - nice job.

[321aaabbsgodlovesyou]

Great job!!!!

[GetOutMahGrizzLee]

Wow! You have an AMAZING voice! This is the best cover I've heard of this song. Keep it up, man! :D

[FarahGlimlach]

OMG .. Ok That Was Amazing .. Thats One Of the Best Covers =D Keep it up .. Well ur On the Top =]

[FlyingNarwhal12]

great cover. jack whites voice is hard to cover

[PatL112]

NICE!

[TheWho0180]

nice cover bro!

[selenadude]

you sing GREAT.

your voice is ABSOLUTELY perfect for thiss!! :)

[geordiemackay]

@selenadude - thanks dude!

[MultiCrash98]

@selenadude it is so sweet and soft ....

[nickgonguitar]

[TheMrFlapy]

[cfarrell44]

Nice job on this dude... my friends and I did a cover of this as well more similar to the Jack Johnson version. Check it out on my page :)

[TheWingedViking]

didnt the white stripes break up

[grymmr34p3r]

@TheWingedViking Unfortunately, yeah.

[petem1992]

nice dude, you did this song very well....kinda surprised, and i think it sounds like the correct key

[JiS01]

GREAT job man! I'm sure if you play to for a girl they will all melt for ya lol!

[CoryLottMusic]

He is right, he's playing the right song. Not a fan of the vocals, but hey, it's on key(mostly) good job

[NoTyOuRaVeRaGeKeViN]

Wrong, all wrong. Your singing in the wrong key, If your gonna sing that high capo it on 2. And it Starts on a D not a G. I understand you trying and im not trying to be harsh, but you haft to sing in key, playing in E tuning and not singing in it dosent sound right. sorry but its just not that good.

[geordiemackay]

@NoTyOuRaVeRaGeKeViN - Dude, you're talking about Jack Johnson's cover of The White Stripes' original song "We're Going to be Friends". If you listen to the original, you will see that I am playing pretty much the same thing (and it starts on a G as you can see in the video).

[Jangoski]

@NoTyOuRaVeRaGeKeViN Dumbass.

[TheLifeOfTim]

@NoTyOuRaVeRaGeKeViN *have, not haft. if you are going to be a dick, learn to spell and punctuate your sentences.

[RedTV8888]

@NoTyOuRaVeRaGeKeViN theres nothing wrong with this cover. thats the exact way to play it.

[mrfender12345]

@NoTyOuRaVeRaGeKeViN shut up you prick

[andyandlou]

@NoTyOuRaVeRaGeKeViN ahahahahaha there is nothing funnier than a douchebag incorrectly correcting someone

[PerryHacksApples]

@NoTyOuRaVeRaGeKeViN FAIL

[Guywithair2]

Great job man! Wonderful pick of scenery as well

[rozu41]

The scenery makes the song even more wonderful.

[JdeppHatter17]

wow, blown away :) to be honest, I like your singing better than the White Stripes!

[gigasnail]

You did a very good job. Thank you.

[piggymm96]

i love it.

[shela373]

[oath50]

You nailed it man

[wildkrazy1]

[NEEDLES122]

[3cpatterson]

what kind of guitar is that? i know its a 12 string for sure

[geordiemackay]

@3cpatterson - It is a 12 string Takamine that I turned into a 6 string. :)

[skipplet]

@geordiemackay Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies used to do the same thing

[3cpatterson]

thats a 12 string acoustic but what kind of guitar brand is that

[thexjozhe]

I just suscribed :D nice cover dude! :D

[lintu2007]

[crazypsycho61]

[gamr822]

great video. Your singing actually sounds like the The White Stripes singing

[lwkleijn]

he's playing a 6 string guitar that you can convert to a 12 string guitar.

[checkoss]

beautiful voice i'm so relax with the water behind you

[Ztreydogg]

Go job! An that's a very nice 12 string acoustic, very pretty.

[dragonballmarcus]

@Ztreydogg I'm not sure it's a 12 string, if you look you can only see 6 strings going towards 6 tuning pegs

[sephiroth87932]

i think he just put on 6 strings on the 12 string guitar and took off the tuning head thingys...yeah

[BlueBe7a]

its a six string

[Goststriker]

Very nice

[geordiemackay]

[johners1990]

Nice version! I do a cover of this song too but I put a different spin on it, but I love the melodic-ness (if there's such a word haha) of this song. Good job XD

[geordiemackay]

cool johners, yah...I really enjoy playing this song. It just one of those happy songs that allows seems to put a smile on my face.

[spazitude80]

[xzain89]

i thought the birds singing add a nice touch to the overall vid :)

[geordiemackay]

yah, it took a lot of work to get the birds to sing on key like that! :P *kidding* Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :)

[pocketsfullofdust]

awesome awesome cover man, just wonderin whats the benefit of playin a 12 string with 6

[geordiemackay]

thanks man, I used it as a 12 string for quite a few years and then found that I was in need of a 6 string to do my finger picking stuff. I went out in search of a guitar that had as nice a feel as my 12 string, but the Martin's, Taylor's and Larivee's weren't as comfortable to play. So I decided to take 6 of the strings off and see how it sounded. The solid neck build to handle 12 strings made the action incredibly low and it gave a really full sound, and he spacing of the strings is cool too.

[thenewtalkingguitar]

This song makes me happy and sad at the same time.

[geordiemackay]

definitely evokes emotion, that's for sure...

[thenewtalkingguitar]

Are you playing a twelve string guitar with only 6 strings?

[geordiemackay]

I am indeed playing a 12 string with only 6 strings...you should try it sometime...sounds awesome and feels great! Good eye for noticing! :)

[TwilightSimple]

Great Job!

[geordiemackay]

thanks! :D

[mendez777777]

wow, it's quite..nice?:) U have got soft, nice voice and in connection with the background it makes really good impression. Take care!

[geordiemackay]

thanks, I agree that relaxed and peaceful environment suited this song in particular. :)

[Dottorass]

Very nice :)

[zagcoh1]

Awesome job!! I must say, it looks like a pleasant day to sit by the lake and strum a guitar :)

[acmilancrazy]

[tiaver]

HOW DO PPLE LIKE THIS SONG!?!

[geordiemackay]

tiaver, if you're referring to my version of the song...my apologies for not making it worthy for your ears. if you're referring to the actual song that i'm covering...you'll have to take that up with the white stripes. it's a modern day classic, that's all i can say.

[embalm]

[robotchicken224]

that was pretty good.

[bobcat1223]

wow really good voice

[MusicIsSweetness]
