[brandonlcravens18]

Pretty damn good dude... But Sungha Jung would own you...

[SamboRayJr]

Never heard him but I'm sure he probably would...I haven't got manga power.

[Renzo116213]

[zakkattack99]

that sungha has no feel and hasnt written anything, you are wrong. this is awesome

[frigobox2000]

[spiderral08]

Genius!!! This is really good and funky, I don't think I'll be able to play anything like that on my acoustic!!! Michael Jackson would be proud!!! I know I am coz u covered one of my favourite songs by him

[pdd420]

Making the guitar sing for you is very difficult and you do a great job in doing it. You didn't even need to sing the song, thats how good it is. Great Job man. Smooth Criminal should be next, hahaha.

[phenrique000]

Left handers owns! I'm a left hander too, and I like see others playing guitar.

congrats....

[beralph]

[niceguy3850]

[creatrixash]

awesome!!

[xxxkairxxx]

WOW, thats Awesome Dude ... Respect

Bless

K-Air

[poohtooh]

Dude, this is an astoundingly cool interpretation of this song and I totally understand your not wanting to take the time to tab this thing out, but can you at least mention how you've tuned your guitar. It sounds like your 6th string is tuned down a full tone to F and the other strings are tuned down either a full tone or a half tone. Can you confirm how your guitar is tuned here?

[SamboRayJr]

No problem. It's an open D major chord...DADF#AD.

[poohtooh]

Thanks!

[farmervn]

chicken

[SamboRayJr]

chicken...to write out tabs...

no time for something that's not that important...

[FunkyGFresh]

Whats wrong Tab Warrior, can't use your ears to figure it out?

[trailbiker230fcrf]

any tabs for this??

[SamboRayJr]

no tab. all be by brain and alliteration.

[indoshel]

DUDE AWSOME!

[TearsInHeavenx]

THAT WAS AWESOME.

Sick Guitar Playing. ;]

[guitrain]

see this is a virtuoso. Man I play guitar for my living, and I am just awestruck at how in time this is, not to mention how awesome it sounds. F'n great job man!  And the slappin the bottom of that acoustic.. that has to feel good.

[bran3500]

perfect you are the best guitar pleyer in the wold!!!!

[sabsi00000]

omg if there were an american idol with instruments i'm sure you woud win

!!!!

[JustMeNietje]

wow.. this made me speechless :-O i'm learning to play guitar myself.. but becoming as good as you are will take me a lifetime! dude you rock!!! :-D

[mwpmcintyre]

Fuck me, how good is this!? Awesome fella, just sensational! what is it you are doing to get the click (metronome sound)?

[SamboRayJr]

nah I'm tapping the bottom of the guitar. I really should have moved the camera down so you can see it. oh well.

[xxxbeatmanxxx]

unbelieveble your very good RESPECT!

[CoDMoaX]

[shuangyang66]

[sute7]

Strabravo ! ! ! ! ! W BLEVIO

[Luisatriani10]

Eres una mamada cabron. Would you mind passing the tab for this amazing interpretation?

[SamboRayJr]

Sorry, no tabs. It would take too long to write them out and I wouldn't even know where to start.

[FunkyGFresh]

You sold oout man!

[Phoenixbird27]

Dude! You're amazing! Are you a bass player by any chance? If not, you sure would make an awesome one!

[jautze]

WOOOW!

[raikchemnitz87]

you must be a covered don ross or maybe his son

[raikchemnitz87]

omg how do you do that?

[derbi13300]

you are amazing!!!

[WhitePencil]

Sam each time i see or hear you play it is insane i must have lessons one day!

[FunkyGFresh]

He can play 3 guitars at once, by looking at them, it's true.

[DrAcoAnDReWcool]

that was SUPER AWESOME!!

how long you've been playing?

[SamboRayJr]

a bit over 10 years but I only started this acoustic stuff recently.

[FunkyGFresh]

If you want he cn give you a few pointers :)

[HORNYWORNY111]

S W E E T ! that'ssomething cool - i loved that song when it came out - that's when i think mike was prime. but after that came the accusations and other BULLshit that comes along with the sleeping with boys for non sexual fun and made us all ashamed to be mike fans - but deep inside we all know that he was truly a REAL talent that can't be copied - and the first real triple threat.

[Vreci]

Really great job!

Congratulation!

regards,

wolfgang
