[bluesmanDon]

Nicely done! What a great song, I don't know why you don't hear this on the radio more often.

[JRaynor99]

very cool. thanks. one of my favorites.

[looloorex]

I was hoping it was Van Morrison (as per the title), but I have to admit that you have done a pretty good cover!

[Stoneacoustic]

nice going man

[Bmcride]

You always pull it off,I depend on you a great deal when trying to get down my struns!

[dededeoo7]

Brilliant ! very accomplished guitar, simply but played with soul and feeling, it is easy to learn guitar but to play with soul? you have to respect this guy. Top man!

[1958wvpicker]

another nice job on a great song

[HoneyGirl96815]

[tanbananaman55]

Impressive

[cozminos]

Good job :-)

[joelatuna99]

GREAT JOB! HE NAILED IT!

[kellencolewright]

my favorite van song, nice rendition man.

[pazzensutra]

I usually don't care about cover tunes, but it's nice to hear somebody doing some obscure Van, and it was nicely done. Very enjoyable!

[kwilliams76b]

You should make your own songs.... you're good enough and have a really nice voice, I'll buy your first album!!! thanks for the video, too.

[kwilliams76b]

You're way better than me and if you practice a bit more you'll relax... Great job!!!

[Bobweirdg]

dude killer job!!!!!! best cover of all i've seen so far!!!!!! great singing too!!!!!

[caseyspaos]

@Bobweirdg

I would venture a guess by your comment that you haven't heard Glen Hansard's cover. It is so passionate! Absolutely the best! (no offense)

[kingsgate15]

dude, one word..............terrific

[bbeemer603]

I hear many people play it... but do you know what it means?

[Rainy55]

I love your version, your lyrics are clear (no offense to Colin James and Van Morrison) but your voice is clear and true, you play guitar very well. I will have to attempt it someday on my old Washburn. saved to my favourites to keep enjoying it, thank you.

[garrettcyn]

You saved my ass at a party with "Melissa" Had to learn "Into the Mystic" and play it at my best friends wedding and amazingly enough your site came up when I went to You Tube for assistance.

Seriously man.....you help me out more than my own $45.00 per hour teacher!

Keep it up!

[Moonchimes]

Wow!! Great job!!!

[Martygruffy]

AWESOME

[burningthemidniteoil]

Most Excellent

[TheFangofwolf]

You made my day!

[missrachelbobachel]

You've got soul. My favourite Van song.

[YuraJagov]

Nice job, hope to here some more stuff.

[brose1959]

man, some hate, i give the guy props.

[scrawnycrow]

nice!

[flukeyballs269]

You could also hammer on 5 on the 4th string during the C chord.

[deweypug]

So is this guy from Jersey?  Just kidding, great voice, nice job!

[sugaree53]

great song--great job

[connberkshire]

Sounds real good- this is my favorite song by The Man- keep it up, and f*$k the haters... Peace, bro...

[glennwith2nns]

whatever, both you fags need to get a private room (Q8511077 and joewoo127). And yeah, this guy probably shouldn't reproduce, but he's trying.

[joewoo127]

NOT EVEN CLOSE

[davidoffon]

yet another person misleadingly claiming van the man is to be heard here, rubbish.

I don't know why anybody flagellates themselves trying to do the undoable.

[PICCIRILLI2008]

Beautiful job!

[Janna2600]

I think you did a beautiful job with this song. You are right on with the guitar chords. This is a very tough song to duplicate and I think you did a beautiful job. Im very impressed.

[frankienylene]

I don't know why some people have to be so negative....anyway I think you were great...Takes a lot of guts....Keep it up..

[danieljmark]

you suck

[frankienylene]

@danieljmark ..Try to be a little nicer...he is trying...

[silvershadow020]

i bet you cant sing or play the guitar.. so shut the fuck up and dont bother listening to something you dont like, retard.

[tb140870]

Very nice man. Great voice and very honest interpretation. You make beautiful Irish music sound like the best American folk

[WarOnTime]

you didnt get up there for "I dont want to fear it and iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii wanna rock your gypsie soul"... I had a tough time w/ it too. Great version tho...

[777Finster]

your a good man or woman.............its good to see not every1 is talking shit on youtube....peace my friend...

[mygaboo]

thank you!

[Michelle1972ify]

Great Vid! Appreciate you putting that out here classic song!!!!!

[paulagloria]

thank you for your subscription.....your beautiful song "into the Mystic" was played over and over again by a past boyfriend who was hugely important in my past life

watch?v=qOU4WHA3K0k

it really stirred me to hear it again after all these years

[MarshallAmpMan]

great job! what kind of Martin is that?...great tone!

[CFMD28]

Very nice Brother!

[crazycurtain]

nailed it for me...

[jeferstrings]

You're on your way to the million mark with this gem brother....thanks for the lesson, very easy to see the chord progression from your camera angle here.. keep em comin' !

[helmsbarn]

Your Martin sounds great..nice job..

[robtippin]

Pretty fkn cool, dude. I don't know how you guys can sing it without crying.

[lesterhotel]

Potent. Good job bruz.

[sydbarret1973]

could u not have stated that this was a cover,i was expecting van the man not some smelly aussie

[shtboxexpose]

I don't smell...

: P

[lstcougarlady]

sydbarret1973, maybe before you open your mouth spewing your negativity you could read the comments by the poster before you watch a video, mind you that might take some common sense you undoubtably seem to be lacking. Dumb buzzard!

[utgraddad56]

Man that impressed me. Great job.

[bravocompany102095]

great job !! thank you for posting, this is one of vans best and you coverd it well

[wwc33]

Well played. That is what the song requires, simplistic presentation, deep emotion, and the story told... Van would approve.

[pigletized]

Beautiful Song!

[40yo6stringer]

nice job man.

[pharmyphil41]

slow it down a bit

[Double65s]

Can you make it sound like $2000 with it shoved up your rectum?Make sure it's tuned 1/2 step down...:-)

[scottzism]

this is fucking rubbish, I can make my $50 dollar guitar sound better than your $2000 dollar martin

[mkgames2002]

I was looking for Van Morrison's version. You captured the spirit of the song. Thank you.

[ro7477]

this is cool man...like it. i wonder how this would sound a tab slower. good job

[Apollowasepic1989]

This guy deserves more views than Paul McCartney or any of those folks. A tru artist who sings from the heart an not for dollar bills! Although he definitely deserves money for this! i can't wait to pop a bottle of wine for this musician wen it reaches a million! Btw, lovely room you got there.

[ToniMattTony]

Great job. Don,t listen to the neg comments. Keep posting.

[hdfatboy2k]

Well done.

[jordanwilliam23]

i dont want sound like an ass...but why does this have a half million views?

[vandelay73190]

because Into The Mystic is a great song.

[dombatts]

Well try understanding Van - he is timeless and you might notice many of the original recordings are not available on YT!!

[jimzer]

beautiful playing, keep it up

[doves]

your version is fabulous......

[SweetestMorgan]

Steve, my mechanic is listening to this and is amazed. These next words are his, so forgive the spelling errors.

it made me feel good thank! all right!

And as always, I love this. It's my favorite. Many thanks for your talent Steve.

[jipsieyes]

SUCH A TREAT! Thank you for sharing... you do Van the Man proud and with the dignity and joy that is pure VAN... Count me in as a new fan... ;-)

[olde4eyes]

Wow...great work man...I actually like your 'impression' better than any original!

[hendrixman1515]

haha no...this was good but i think anyone with ears can tell van morrison kicked his ass

[TTFANAWF]

AWESOME JOB, LOVE THIS SONG!!

[xlGeckozslx]

why does your 7th fret have two starting points? Anywho great cover and singing aswell.

[rinnin]

"Hark now hear the sailors fry?"

[RomeoTheRottweiler]

LOL

[robcostido]

Funny! True!

[ToniMattTony]

great job nice relaxed played perfect

[maryannestopit]

I listen every night...You soothe me into slumber. Thanks for the spiritual beauty...into the mystic.

I sleep well now.

[bookmistress4ever]

Very nice! Love the song.

[lorimac1008]

Wicked good!! ---LoriMac from CapeCod Mass

[maryannestopit]

Hi..Do know you look just like Mark Wahlberg from "The Perfect Storm" ? You're a very talented and very attractive gentleman! As long as we are requesting..."In the garden"...Lot's of piano in that one..piano not necessary. I adore the references to the Holy Spirit, God and nature...i can see your talent in this....

[devm]

wow man!! that sounds damn good!!!!

[Calimesa67]

I truly enjoy your posts. If you take video requests, could you perform Loch Lomond? I'd like to hear you play it even if it's acoustic only but, I'd like to hear you sing it too. Thank you.

[Accoustiknoyz]

What an awesome song and you did it well vocally and instrumentally. Thanks for posting!

[carpediemsillyxkym]

this is amazing

[maryblackchurch]

Well done..let Mr. Critic 2 posts below try doing a rendition of this..timing, lone acoustic, no studio fine tuning etc..your voice is  as it should be. Bravo!

[jamjax]

Nice voice. Well done.

[quinnk01]

God damn. That super sucked. Horrible singing, however. Nice guitar playing, but. Your voice is bad, no timing and no talent. Please give it up!

[birdiejoehoaks]

you dont have to be such a cock

[IgniteTheMind]

dude thats hot!!!

[pmcwillow]

Nice job.

[jenee7777]

really, really nice. 5 stars.

[jbharuch]

Art&Heart

[artguywes]

You really did a fine job. Some folks don't realize the best music comes from the heart. I believe your playing does. keep it up.

[whiteboybilly420]

love it

[porkified]

arch65, you should try Johnnie, Willie, Marty and Roy Acuff.

Great. Pick on string.

[guitbox86]

wow man great job, tough song to cover . you nailed it though

[Dougwiser420]

I worked so hard all day making a way for my family today and when i got home for some reason i youtubed "into the mystic", so I somehow clicked the link for your video and the whole family came to hear and it was beautiful, man, and I only wanted to say my favorite Van Morrison quote "Live Music is where it's at, all the rest is just shit", I'm sure Van would be pleased with this version, indy music is where it's at man keep on.

[chaiteamama]

Good job!

[cooperdr77]

This version of this song is excellent.

[pigpen7852]

nice verson of this jam, you do a good job brother.....

[tedphillips1977]

I have you in my favorites.

Push your talent further. You have it! Talent!

[kentaddition]

[porkified]

[teaparty111]

Great Cover of a great song! 5/5 Hey, I see you like Skynard--check out my son LEDZEPLICAN --he does the lead for Freebird--he was only 13 when he taped it. You have to check it out. Your a really good player--my wife is listening too and really likes your playing of this classic.

[jellybeanhelene917]

Wow!!!!  Very nice!

[nati311294]

looooooove it!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay u rock!

[maryannestopit]

[Matze34088]

Way to go. Excellent job. Keep it up.

[Corey358]

Another video of yours I've favorited. Also, subscribed to you. Excellent job. Very good with a pick. Your inspirational.

[violettesmile]

Trying so hard to find Van's own version, but I have to say, yours is one of the BEST covers out there of "Into the Mystic." Glad I found it! : )

Great job! JM

JM

[kshogan11]

Fantastic guitar playing.

[grandmeaulne]

Very well done, congratulations..:-)

[mofrocrowe]

Just awesome brother, 5 stars for sure!!! much peace

[hazor777]

Im a pretty harsh critic & I play this song as well -- it aint easy to keep time & sing.ANyways, I thought it was pretty good.

[Montyx39]

that sounds good bro. takes some balls to do this stuff. good job

[kilts4u2]

Good music. . .great music . ..wasn't designed to be only played or sung by those who created it. It's meant to withstand the test of time. To that extent you have captured the essence of this incredibly beautiful song. Don't let the haters and negative naybobs ruin what most of us feel when a great song is resung. Van Morrison certainly wouldn't mind hearing his work done. It's a credible and satisfying rendition. Good for you mate.

[archambault65]

So well expressed. Thanks.

[porkified]

Hey Steve...65.

This is nice. I've learned in my life that; if it sounds good, if it feels good and ya like it, then it is good. You my friend are good. Like the chord change at the end.

You couldn't have been here in the 1930's.

Nice!

[johnnyboydmusik]

nice cover.........JB

[krc5210]

This was very nice. And for someone just learning guitar it was great to see how this is played. Thanks!

[nicka7]

Great playing and singing.

And please dont spend too much time trying to work out why people make comparisons to Van. ...;p)

[Tangerinekashmir]

Honey don't take this too bad but you ain't no Van. Not even close!

[archambault65]

It's funny. I'm a simple guy who likes to play music. I never once compared myself to the great Van Morrison. In fact, I even put in my comments that this was an IMPRESSION of what I could remember about the song after years of not hearing it. Its not even meant to be a cover. Yet people continue to make comparisons. It astounds me. Maybe its just human nature. Life is a funny thing. Glad I know who I am and keep my feet on the ground.

Steve

[archambault65]

Thanks nicka7, I'm with ya. I only wrote for levity. Tangerinekashmir is a "You Tube classic", with friend block, no videos and the twisted deisgn to tell sincere musicians what they're not, when the whole time she's insecurely searching for herself. Classic, sad and timeless.

[porkified]

Nice. Very nice.

[wheelyworld]

Great cover, i enjoyed it..

[fredo39]

You do a good job, so don't be offended that I bring this up, but why is it so hard to find original Van Morrison music on youtube? Does his record company have some kind of ban on them, like Prince?

[WhiteBuffalo81]

Van who?

[SusieCruisie]

Beautiful job on a beautiful song, thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world!

[violettesmile]

Great cover!!!!

JM

[redhousefilm]

WOW very good

[maxinbo]

Great job

[armyauntie]

You Know ..people say just ignore the ones that can't appreciate a pretty song or nice soft singing like this...because like all little children...you shouldn't encourage bad behavior!!haha! don't let them get to you and don't loose sight of the nice job done..Sooo are you going to do some more soon....please! love your tune!!

[lowlypeasant]

Nice job man. You put your own spin on it. Guitar is quite good also.

[kevvyKev51]

wow, glad i found this! Awesome job!

[dnomad08]

really good job if you can please post the chords thanx in advance

[charliehaa]

great cover keep on rockin and rolling thanks for keeping the music alive

[ghostgal30e]

Great song

[AntarLamm]

beautiful

[lancetuffy]

Well done.

[beetle209er]

nice job, best one ive found on here..cant find the original...

[TaraEscudero]

I love this thank you for covering it!

[g6120s]

Wow Steve! over 327,000 views! That's epic!! Great job on this song!! You're a superstar!

[archambault65]

Ah you're much too kind Gil. One cut, first version I played of it, no match for scratching the surface of the master.

[julie1300]

god i love this song...you did it justice !5 stars!!

[biologicalbubble]

Hey! nice effort!.....but it makes it that much harder to find the original.....can someone help me with this

[NDIrish969]

Not a bad cover...great song

[bigsissy02]

all any of you have to do is pick up your guitar and play those notes. now play with the real song and its identical sound. except the guy cant play bass,horns,rythem and lead at the same time. so it will sound different DUUUUUUU. thats why they call it a band. I say great job.

[datimez]

I especially like how you don't sentimentalize it. You let Van's lyrics, and his music, move you. You sing it straight up.

[datimez]

Nice cover, man. No one sings it like Van, even if we all try or think we can or realize we can't.
