[bringmetheherizon89]

[bunkman64]

@bringmetheherizon89 Thanks! I really enjoy playing this song, it's really easy and a lot of fun. ZI'm coming back after a bit of a layoff. i will be posting more videos soon. Thanks again for watching! :)

[Skilluh]

Awesome playing mate. Love how it sounds on the acoustic. Keep up the good work :)

[bunkman64]

@Skilluh Thank you very much! I ran my guitar thru a Ibanez tube screamer and backed off the distortion just a bit. I am really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[Axel10011]

I tried to play this but when i slap the strings it makes the fret i hit make its sound instead of the slap. im palm muting so i know it isnt that. am i hitting it too hard or not hard enough or do you think i just need different strings? answer soon man im a blues man and i gotta play this lol

[bunkman64]

@Axel10011 Try using the pinky on your left hand to block the strings after every slap..that is what I am doing here. If that doesn't work hit me back and I'll see if I can post up a video for ya to show more detail.

[Axel10011]

oh yeah im drinking to this tomorrow nite!

[bunkman64]

@Axel10011 Have a few for me partner!!

[TopTributeBands]

I can't get any work done cuz I'm just watchen these videos but hey,

I don't get paid anyway worken 20/7 job hunten (really at 60 I only sleep 4 hrs a day, ain't ole age a beachball :-(

U know yr old when you job hunt & they ONLY take apps online, no calls & do NOT show up at their door, even Coke A Cola,,, THEN when you go to put yur work history down, truck driven in the 1970s,,, their website boc ONLY has years form 1981 and UP,,, That is when U know U R OLD &, well, goen 2 B out of work!

[bunkman64]

@TopTributeBands Not to laugh but you got me ROLLIN'! I'm sorry about the job thing..I hope it gets better for you! Evel Knevil once said "A man isn't considered a failure for falling down..he is considered a failure for not getting up!" Stay persistant..You WILL succeed!

[TopTributeBands]

@TopTributeBands

Its not all bad, after all, I am working 20/7 but just not getting paid :-/

Besides, I am too busted up to really drive trucks anymore sooo not getting that job that worked out OK but U would really roll on the floor if U knew the whole story behind that one...

Hummm, Gearge Clrlin type comedy perhaps?

They have tribute bands so why not a tribute comedian with a few of my own things tossed in?

Darn, I am only 2 ft tall, blind, bald and toothless so hummm...

[buskerbuoy]

Like your version and I appreciate the lesson but I think I'm missing the accent and the attitude

[bunkman64]

@buskerbuoy Hey Man, Like the man said..PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!! Thanks very much!

[SocktheWolf]

Nice cover. That was amazing.

[jbkJeff]

[Evangelos021]

Fucking cool man, JLH would be happy with that!

[bunkman64]

Thank you!

[tomvband]

Very well done man!..........got the attitude down to the gnats ass,.....not bad for a guy who's like a bear cub playing with his balls,....hahahahah......I read that on John's channel.....hahahah...perfect. Great sound!

[bunkman64]

LOL! Thanks man! I love Thorogood..This version is a lot of fun. John is a really good guy, He is really creative! Thanks for dropping in and the nice words!

[adamsfunnyfilms]

Far out. Thanks for the Move it on over tip. It is a challenge finger picking,

[MrYoter]

Nice version! I love to see people pull off songs like this on acoustic, well done!

[bunkman64]

Thank you very much! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Thanks also for the friend invite, I will be posting some new stuff this year and I am looking forward to hearing from you as well! Take care and best wishes in 2010!

[skyillegaldiver]

very nice. and thanks for the "how to" video. I love that song, but George and John Lee make it seem so much their own that I didn't dare give it a go. You have opened the door, for which, many thanks.

[bunkman64]

Thanks for the nice comment! It's been said that "In a harbour, a ship is safe, but that's not what ships are for". Challenge the song, put your own special twist on it and see what comes out.. You may be very suprized!

[ShickenChit74]

Great Job on a Great Song....Keep up the Great work.

[sandoval91402]

your pretty awesome

[bunkman64]

Thank you very much but just consider my self average...BUT if you INSIST! LOL!

[sandoval91402]

your welcome

[vader6972]

Sweet. Nicely done.  Little scaled back from George's...a little lighter than Hooker's. Wish I was there with ya

[bunkman64]

Yeah, It's tough to pull it all out of an acoustic. Thanks for the kind words!

[churchghost]

whats the tuning?

[bunkman64]

Just standard tuning, but BEND them strangs!!! Use a thumb pick and smack the crap out of that E string! See my "How to" video on this song, good luck. I hope you post it up, I will be watching for it.

[churchghost]

Thanks! I'll try to get the song done and put it up!

[avweije76]

everytime I go back to this video, the 1st thing I do is turn the volume all the way up

not saying it's soft ;) saying it's good

[bunkman64]

Hey THANKS man! I do a better version with my backup tracks I laid down on my Loop station pedal. This one was unplugged. I'll try to get the full version up as soon as I can. Thanks again!

[avweije76]

I'll be sure to check that out :)

[macdaddylorenzo]

favorite parts of the song:

"He said uh I dunno about wife, she kinda funny."

"I said: I know! Everybody funny! Now you're funny too!"

"She said: I don't believe you're trying to find no job. I saw you today standing on the corner, leaning up against a post."

"I said: but I'm tired!"

This song isn't just great music, it's a real comedy classic!!

[bunkman64]

Yeah, it is great aint it?

[DemonicTurtle66]

Really great cover

Do you play at bars and stuff? I bet you could do some gigs. I live down in Florida and you would do great down here at some of the bars we have.

[bunkman64]

Thank you very much! Yes, actually I do play around. I live in Jax, Fla, so I know how the crowds are! lol! I have backup music for this song I recorded on a loop station and use it when I play gigs. This is just me screwin' around with an acoustic version. Thanks again for checking out my vids!

[Rednostalgia]

Wow, amazing cover.. Good job!

[thirty6chambers]

that sounded real good. nice work

[bunkman64]

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[harddial]

Good shit Man!!!

[bunkman64]

Thanks!

[oompaloompaman5]

[bunkman64]

Hey Thanks man!

[avweije76]

[MichaelBrandon2008]

Awsome job! checkout my page!

[FasterthanSpeed414]

that was great

[bunkman64]

Thank you and thanks for viewing!

[ryan401]

dude that was real good 5*

[HammettSHREDZ]

Dude, I'm totally favoriting this :D. AWESOME job. And your supposed "tendon damage" in your wrists doesn't seem to make you play all that bad.

Hope your still playing lol. 5/5*.

[bunkman64]

Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy my other videos as well!

[beavdabomb]

hes in fine form today

[beavdabomb]

damn, this dude has skills

[jetsrdabomb]

great job. could you please do a cover of i drink alone-thorogood? i can't find any covers and its a great song

[bushinarin]

Your version is damn near perfect! Much better than I could do.

[bunkman64]

Thanks for the compliment man! Its really tough to play with tendon damage in both wrists! LOL! As the song wears on you can hear it come out. I do this song with a backup track played on a BOSS RC2 loop station (see my "Move it on over" video)when I play gigs. It helps provide some backup relief for the ol' wrists! lol! Hey, thanks again for wathing!

[jsemar]

I thought this was an excellent cover! I agree with Namnoiz, your version is a nice change of pace.

[bunkman64]

Hey thanks. It's a little tough on the forearm tendons though!

[AaronandJed]

awesome man, sounds great

[namnoiz]

Im too used to listening to GT.Your version is a refreshing change of pace.Nice job!!!

[jimmi981]

could you post the tabs

[bunkman64]

I would if I could read music. I can't. What I've learned I have taught myself. This is my version (with a little thorogood for taste) of this song. If you would like to e mail me on my channel I can explain it to you as best I can. Sorry I couldn't help more. Thanks for watching though!

[austmart]

wow this is great one of my favorite videos on youtube.

[bunkman64]

Well thank you very much! I hope you enjoy the rest of my videos as well. I'll be posting more soon. Thanks again!

[jesismyhero]

Hey Chuck! Sounds great!! Let me know if you end up playing somewhere, the girls and I will come see you! Take care. We'll have to come by soon when you are home. We got 2 dogs! A chocolate and a yellow lab, both about 5 years old. They are awesome dogs. We'll have to bring them by too! Talk to you soon!

[iatkinson056]

very nice chuck, im def gona have to say you did great at coverin this song, if u dont already u should play somewhere like on a friday night at like a bar or something..after downing a few beers maybe?

[lambeau54]

i stand in awe dude u got talent fp

[rdoogie]

Great job. That sure is a lotta lyrics, ain't it? I love songs that get all involved in an emotional story of some sort. This song is perfect for that - with a great big dose of boogie added for good measure! Rock on, man! That guitar sounds good, too.

[bunkman64]

Thanks for the compliment! Yeah, it has a lot to remember! I finally got it right on about the 6th take! LOL! I kind of petered outabout halfway thru the solo as you can tell. My forarms felt like they were on fire!!lol! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks again!
