Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton acoustic guitar cover)

[nik1954]

what about the other two fingers, wrong chords...are you high???

[JustBeClever]

mr. bean with long hair haha

[Forgottenimpuls]

There is only one reason why you should never play with fingers resting on the pick guard/scratchplate....... That is because it makes it a habit to get out of when it comes to needing those fingers for a finger picking style arrangement, On the other hand tho....... This is played very nicely with just the 2. This guy is just proof of how versatile the guitar can be. If you feel right using 2 fingers and the tune can be played then do that if not then play your way.

[mengiesha]

Where did you find your tab at???

[caf2332]

play back

[juanchoplazas]

You should use your others fingers..It would be easier.

[timeischemical]

watch?v=i86UcYedm9o watch my version :D

[akosicristina]

Cool :)

[kristinalao88]

haha youre in student halls! :D

[RuthieTalk]

I really enjoyed that you sent me your music on twitter. I analyze social media and work for Bill Zucker who wrote the twitter song you can friend him here on You tube... send me your stuff and I would be happy to share it all over the net.

Hi

I like your version of this song very much

Do you haye a guitar tab or something like that with that great picking ?

[stargirlsays]

Thanks for sharing! Very talented :)

[AngelsWithSpears]

You do what my guitar teacher tells me not to do. You rest your little finger on the pickguard (i believe thats its name). I still prefer to do that, seems easier, but apparantley it is better to get used to playing without.

[hardings930]

@AngelsWithSpears I've got loads of bad habits, notibly that when finger picking I physically can only use the first two fingers on that. hand, but then mind you, that's all Chuck Berry used 2 do.Not bad considering I've not had a lesson though in the 14 years I've been playing I don't think though. ;) lol I don'y buy in to lessons when music is concerned.,It does improve your technical ability no doubt,but it's about feelings.When was the last time you saw someone who was taught how to feel? ;)

[jschullar]

@hardings930

SO TRUE BRO OU ROCK THIS SONG MAN

[MrTheFacha]

@hardings930 hey guy!!....are very similar to paul mccartney when he was young!!!...yess!! cool!! :D

[lugntmedmig]

@AngelsWithSpears I got lowered grades for doing that, while kicking the ass out of the rest classmates. I refered to some of this worlds best musicians. Yet he refused to agree with me, giving me the grade of a newbie. -_-

[Notled2]

@AngelsWithSpears

you'll find that no matter how often these teachers tell you not to do things like that, you'll probably end up doing it anyway. It just makes it easier and more comfortable. But they do hold a valid point, if you can manage to keep all the bad habits out of your way, you'll be a far better guitarist in the long run :)

[metallictank]

nicely done nice and peaceful and i like how you went with how you felt like playing it and changing it up a bit awesome man xD

[sas1978arinamo]

うまいですね！！！！

まさにWonderful！！！！！

[meltingicequeen1]

I listened to this repeatedly...It was very relaxing and peaceful...

[MrPreusting]

Nice! (Y)

[PhilMarcusspokes]

Like it .Like your comments too .

[alelHSU]

can i have the plucking patterns ?

[hardings930]

@alelHSU there was no plucking pattern. Just make it up like i did. ;)

[alelHSU]

@hardings930 hurm . ok ok . thanks btw . but can i have ur plucking patterns ? if its not such a burden .

[hardings930]

@alelHSU as i said my friend i dont do plucking patterns i just play what i like the sound of. its mostly just up the strings from the bass E, then back down the strings until the g string then pluck the b. Something like that. Play it your own way then it comes from the heart. ;) I never play any record how its supossed to, partly coz I havent got the talent, but also adds my own stamp on it. ;)

[jlamb15]

@alelHSU go to ultimate guitar and search wonderful tonight guitar tab' and it gives you the tabs to pluck

[hardings930]

@jlamb15 ultimate guitar tab is often wrong. Half the people who submut are tone deaf. Nah I like to do my own interpretation and besides, I'm not good enough to do the majority of songs I try the way they are supossed to be played. lol

[nyesnye]

I think this is not his voice...

[hardings930]

@nyesnye it is my voice you douche. the video is just out of time with the vocals for some reason. check the other vids

[hardings930]

@nyesnye no of course it's not my voice and neither is it my voice on the other 75 videos you douche

[HardcoreBarbie666]

beautiful[:

i love this,amazing voice hunny,

[amkodess]

Great job! What is your accent if I may ask? General American? It is not a British accent, right? At least, by the way you pronounce "ASKS"..

[hardings930]

@amkodess yeah British. Just outside london

[Zitoc]

its pretty basic picking, hold each chord and do this string order on a D: 4,3,2,3,1,2,3,2

you do the same picking order on all the chords.. but you got to adapt it to the chord..

[hardings930]

@Zitoc the greatest songs ever written are simple. Why complicate it? Anyone I'm not technically able to. lol

[themariuns]

maybe download the lyrics . .. . . . .

[desire1102]

:) I wish I could listen to you live singing this.... :') ur voice is amazing.

[shortrib35]

Perfect in every sense. I am very impressed.

[FelixxHandTricks]

great!

you got it, man.

when ypu've got the time, take a look at my vid's too ;)

felix

[Quixotik1993]

Whats the Picking of this song ?!

[hardings930]

@Quixotik1993 I have no idea my friend. Just made it up as I went along through G, D, C, D for most of the song.

[ariciph]

The actual chords are D,F#,C,D but it still sounded really good

[hardings930]

@ariciph those aren't the chords pal unless you play it in a different key.

[kyupo000]

@hardings930 now that is creative,.

[xyxtuz02]

can you make a tutorial? thanks!.. by the way thumbs up ^_^

[hardings930]

@xyxtuz02 thats a good idea. I need to find my camcorder. its in the shed/garage and i dont know which box. grrr!

[vh0025]

très bien !!!

[xyzvo]

do you live in a one room flat or why you playing in the kitchen? xD

[hardings930]

@xyzvo haha. it was late at night and I recorded it in the kitchen so that I wouldn't be underneath the neighbours bedroom. lol

[xyzvo]

ok ^^

[zyang9098]

@hardings930 would u happen to b in warwick uni?this looks alot like it..

[hardings930]

@zyang9098 never been to warwick in my life i dont think

[HarderThanSuperman]

[hardings930]

i dont use tab. I just make it up the way I hear it. ;)

[mcduffee23]

i have to learn this for my brothers wedding this weekend and i like your version much better then the one i know, so if you could tell me where you got the tabs that would be very helpful to me.

[hardings930]

I just made it up by ear from the tune in my head.

[Donnette64]

I love this, you perform it beautifully ♥♥

[hardings930]

thx

[jodieworld]

Hey sounds like a plan! YouTube and Twitter will do for you what MySpace did for Lily Allen! It's plain sailing all the way now you have put the hard work in!

[jodieworld]

Awesome stuff - more more more

[hardings930]

I might just do that. I'm encouraged by my response from Twitter. Got a couple of classics and one of my own I'm thinking of doing

[jodieworld]

Do loads! That's what Twitter is best for!

[hardings930]

You're not wrong. I'm getting about 100-150 new followers per day and my Youtube views have doubled daily so far. Hoping to keep this up and get the Yourtune partners/sponsers pay me to stick adverts on my vids.

[dlacyatl]

You had tweeted it, so I just had to check it out....Eric Clapton is one of my very favorite musicians! I'm DLWilsonsWorld (Donna Wilson) on Twitter. Keep the music coming...!! :)

[hardings930]

thanks

[dlacyatl]

LOVE it...awesome, Stewart! You really made my Saturday night, with that song! I saw Eric Clapton many yrs. ago, in concert. Thank YOU! - 5 stars

[hardings930]

thx very much. thats the first comment Ive had in ages on here.

[superstratboy]

great nice timing and you know how to bring a teer to catch emotion....wahtever that may be

[Urankar3]

GREAT5*****!!!!!woow

[elimagrielle]

Really Good!!!! Like Wow! Awesome! :D

[gamerjia]

wow its good BUT!!!!! WHY the sound doesnt match the video? i guess the person in the video isnt you i guess

[hardings930]

If you watch my other videos you'll hear quite clearly that it is me. I don't know. Maybe this one uploaded wrong or something.

[gamerjia]

i see i see , anyway really is good guitar skills and good voice !!!

[hardings930]

Thanks. I'm thinking of doing another song on here tomorrow. I wrote a song called 'Ring ME Down To Earth'. Very upbeat, written before I got with my girlfriend, but after speaking to her realised that's what she does to me. lol

[Margie1944]

soul soothing, nicely done ! thanks 5 *

[jdstorms]

Stewart... this is an excellent version. You have a nice vocal style... easy and effortless....i like it... Well done my friend! 5 stars

[hardings930]

Thanks mate.

[guitarsix6]

Great cover man how've you got them viewing figures amazing

[er1c6sk8]

Really great man, thanks for that

you made my day today

Also I watched your hands for the chords, cause I've watched other vids on how to play it and they just confuse the hell out of me

[hardings930]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah just keep it simple. You don't have to play it like Clapton. I play Tears In Heaven live. I can't play it like Clapton, but I still get people crying.

[H2O36]

I am singer and a writer...but olso I am a student and I don`t have much time to write in this moment...but I will keep you posted..o.k.?Good luck with your entire work.Mihai

[H2O36]

U sing o.k....but I can do this song maybe a little bit diferent...in a soul manner...When I will post my on..I will invite you to wach mine..o.k.?Anyway....very nice.

[hardings930]

erm, this was in a soul manner. Bit difficult to do a track that's lead guitar is its nuts and bolts. I don't believe in doing a cover differently. I think if you are going to do that you might as well just write a different song. Anyway thanks for your comments

[ayannayann]

very nice....

[georgethejack]

You re awesome m8!! Greetings from Greece! Keep up the excellent work. Do you accept any cover requests?

[hardings930]

Thanks. yeah sure. Give me a request.

[carann5]

Wonderful job! This was my son and daughter-in-law's wedding song in 1993Very nice!

[elczanka]

This creates a great atmosphere. His voice, his music. Very, very beautiful. Thank you very much for this beautiful moment.

[luisminumerouno]

Thanks i love this song too and i enjoyed hearing you sing it , keep on singing and playing ..... lol

[marie243cm]

You have an incredible voice. I would say you sang it better than Eric Clapton, but he's one of my favorites.

I wish I had that kind of talent.

Hope to hear more in the future!

[555zed]

brilliant!! :) very talented...and sing very well.

[nx2overide]

[tibordp]

Awesome!

[elpresidente4mvp]

Can you sing another Eric Clapton song, "Tears in Heaven"? pls...

[hardings930]

Thats the other one I play live, but unfortunately my laptop has packed up and the guy is meant to be giving me the disk to fix it keeps forgetting so i can't record anything. Sorry

[jenthecri]

still lovin it stew! anyone in Windsor on a Tuesday night can hear Stewart LIVE at The Criterion, Peascod Street!

[MichaelBe33]

next time im over in England I will hit that up. Its been a year or so since I've visited that beautiful land

[hardings930]

Don't be fooled. It a book with a beautiful cover, but the charcaters within the novel are a corrupt and mean spirited bunch

[MichaelBe33]

so said when you live in any country :) I suppose if I ever decide to spend an extended amount of time there I would agree with you..But for now I'll stay a tourist ;)

[hardings930]

Well I've been to the US, Scotland, Wales, Greece, Italy and the Cannary Islands now and the south-east of England is definately the most miserable. A servey actuallly reported that walking down the street smiling at people generated the least amount of smiles back than anywhere else in the country. Lol You do have a poit with the where you live theory though

[trezoe]

Bravissimo!!!

ciao da luciano!!!!

[LoveOnTheHorizan]

this is my moms FAVORITE song on karoke

[hardings930]

lol. I guess that's good then

[eckzahn1]

yeah the 5th Beatle was Brian Epstein! he has sing at the start with the Beatles..for beatles fans was Epstein the 5th Beatle!but when you say he was the 4 1/2 , then i say you are now the beatle number 4 2/2 ! are this ok? i don´t surf @wikipedia.. i has heard from school, and from austrian television! cheers

[hardings930]

Well try watching British television where it all started. Trust me just coz him and John Lennon had an affair, doesnt make him the fifth Beatle. George Martin was the fifth Beatle because their songs would have been nowhere near as big without his classical arrangements especially in the later part. I wonder how many Austalians have actually been round the Cavern Club indeed? hmmm

[eckzahn1]

hehe! you did not know who the 5th beatle was?

and i has think you was a fan of the beatles!

the 5th Beatle was: Brian Epstein

Bye

[hardings930]

The 5th Beatle Brian Epstein? 4 and a 1/2 Beatle seeing as he only lasted til 1966. Think you been on Wikopaeida too much my friend. lol

[eckzahn1]

Hi my friend! really cool video and voice! you are a big beatles fan? let you know..for me you are now the 6th beatle! your voice is brilliant..love to hear you! 5***** from biggest Matt Costa fan ever ! cheers! Lars

[hardings930]

The 6th Beatle? Thanks lol Who's the 5th then? George Martin or our MP Anne Widdicombe. She's definately got the hair cut.

[xaer044444]

nais

[revans19841]

uve got a pretty good voice mate and ur finger playin style is nice and melodic...5 stars....rate mine if poss....and its a nice contrast to my heavy electric riffing

[6rosebudX]

like it...and i like your voice!

but...you could use four fingers on your right hand or use a pick.

anyway...sounds flawless

[hardings930]

Thanks. I have real difficulty using the fingers on ym right-hand as I am learned the guitar right handed and am very prodominantly left-handed. I can only use the first 2 fingers on my right hand for some reason. lol

[Joshabenhur]

Very good my friend,five stars.bay bay.

[14sandra09]

sounds great. you´re sweet

[Tibiscuit11]

It's beautiful! You sing very well.

[Snougdoug]

Hey, well done Stewart.

Guillaume

[mscutiebear]

You are very good,

Haha.

[blight04]

Thanks. I've just learned and played Tears In Heaven at a gig which went down really well.

[brisasuavedelmar]

magnifica interpretacion!! besoss

[yupfrank]

amazing music

[alexfurniss]

brilliant mate

[chinita41]

i love eric clapton and you sound great.

[sistianatube]

this is one of my favorite songs ever. It is so romantic and perfect in the melody,the music, the words. I like your version!
