well well welllll Jack, i am so glad i finally got here.. now i know why Laurel (unique) loves your voice so much...... i shouldve known, anything she would love i would too, as we are alot alike! this is excellent and so one of my fav songs.. you did this so extremely beautiful and now i will have to chew her out for not sharing this song with me! and i see you feel what you sing tooooo!
You have sure touched my heart! I love to watch and listen to you sing! You are so very talented, which is good for us not so talented to enjoy! You seem like a very sweet and caring man and thanks for letting me be your friend. I am patiently - hehe - waiting to see you sing a new song though. thanks for sharing. - - - - - Laurel
So good to be reminded of this song by such a great cover here. It really is a classic and great to singalong to. Not sure what you mean by open G tuning?
Hi Jack, actually you should. When I auditioned for my first play, the director said, finally!! we've got a crooner" lol No kidding. I think that's why I ended up doing Mack the Knife!!
An older gentleman walked up to me a few months ago after I sang at an open stage and accused me of being a crooner, he said I sounded like the Bee Gee's. So I thought what the heck, I'll give it a shot - Glad you liked it.
this is just beautiful - what a gift you have! To be able to play and sing at this level is amazing. Is that a Ryan guitar? Sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing your music - I'm a fan!
Yep, it's a Ryan NGS; most everything I've been uploading lately is in open G. The Rat song on my channel "Ben" is the one I mentioned the other day. It would be great if you could record the instrumental and I could record the vocals and melody as per the AGF rules and make a cd entry as a combined effort which closes Feb 29th. I'll PM you.
Your guitar sounds great - I love open G tunning - the guitar just rings it seems. I am honored you would suggest a collaboration! I'll love for the PM, thanks, dale.
Hey Jack. Back when the Bee Gees were still an honest pop band, Words was one of their best ballards. I find your "folk" version very appealing. You did a great job with it.
Your fantastic guitars are putting the rest of us to shame :) -Ron
I forgot how much I love this song. You've made it new for me again. What tuning are you using? Open G? You have an exceptional voice. Very soothing. Looking forward to your next video my friend. :)
your voice is clear and clean like glas, your guitar playing is just great !
Another wonderful rendition of this great song ! Very well done Mr. Jack ;-)

String one turned down from E to D
String five turned down from A to G
String six turned down from E to D
When strummed open then the chord = G major.
