[flaspey]

hey, that was great! this is pretty much my favorite song by the who!! i really liked you cover, great job!!! i think i'll show it to my guitar teacher so i can learn how to play haha

[scartissue94]

lol, wow. This is a pretty original cover. And your voice is cool, it's not even wimpy. :D

I hope you become big in music someday.

[aqeb2000]

woah tht was beautiful *_* xD awsome job bro!!!! wtf 3.5 starS?!?!?!?! its worth frkin 5 stars!!!@!#@!# AWSOME

[JohnnylukeGilbert777]

how could anyone put three stars, that was epic. good job man

[skinnyredjeans]

I love how you made it more accoustic.

Any chance of getting a copy of just the guitar?

[FFLITMiko]

Speed it up a little bit. :]

[stefanoSPSP]

great voice...and guitar...good

[beerschotnano]

Grosse meeeerde

[FOGHORN515]

This right here, is the reason I love You Tube. Awesome cover of a great song - Loved the intro - the playing was great. You definitely made it your own DAWG lol. That os what a cover is all about - I actually clapped when it was over. Thanks and keep posting.

[nclaxer81]

i think thats really cool what you did with the song. i agree with MarkArandjus. part of doing a cover is making it your own. good job

[WrathRI]

i thought you did a good job improvising for the keyboard intro 5/5

[mrawesome911]

so true

[mrawesome911]

What r the chords for this?

[ixlovexhoodies]

It's just e but moved up 13th and so on.. It's easy but this guy makes it looks alot harder!

[mrawesome911]

Shut up asshole. I like this version better

[MarkArandjus]

Man don't listen to the folk saying it's not right you changed it a bit, that's what a truly good cover is all abotu, was great, inspired me to learn the song.

[kevlarunderwear22]

i liked it

[smokeyfluff]

Very different from the original - but its really good and you have a great voice. Keep going with the Who stuff!!!

[Degenola]

He doesn't have a great voice, it's not bad, but not good either.

[blaxxus]

err... your playing was okay, but the song was not the real one...

[cake3303]

The guitar is really pretty, not quite Baba O'Riley in some places, but in others it is great! And forget about those who discouraged it. Remember, you can't be known if no one criticizes you.

[bobhope7]

Cool, you made it your own!

[ccroxmysox789]

Ummm... Not baba O` riley. Its ok I guess... but you don`t have the best part.

[skihero45]

u suck! this is a discrace to the who! go screw yourself

[soonerfanub12]

Honestly you play decent but i really hated your rendition of this classic no disrespect everyone has there own style i just dont dig yours.

[Eingeschneit]

You're great, I love it! Cool voice, beautiful guitar! For how long do you already play the guitar?

[bgpiper]

I've played for about 5 years.

[Equiglio]

Ah, ok! Thank you so much... =)

[Equiglio]

Can I have the tabs? It's beautiful...

[bgpiper]

I've never tabbed it out, but if I get some time, I'll do that, and send it your way. FYI the main chords are just an E B A B E, and you just maintain the root E shape without barring for the root notes.

[roxivalentina]

im not gunna judge id like to do a tribute to this song but people would criticise but id like to seethem try but it's good to see you giving this a try i like it....

[Thedoors252]

too slow and too soft!!! too long and shit... you should be in a boyband

[Eeglesfan21]

he's talking about the one in the backround. it looks like an electric

[bgpiper]

Yes I realize he is talking about the one in the background, but it is in fact an acoustic guitar, the lighting is pretty dark, and you can't see the body, because it is somewhat obstructed by the bed.

[bgpiper]

No, it's an acoustic guitar.

[bgpiper]

I don't really remember, it's my roommate's.

[bohemian187]

I understand if you wanted to make it you own, but tempo´s still off

[rutitaforever84]

I like your song but u need to learn more.

[philipsultana]

OMG...you got style...and if you were a rock star you'll be in my favourites!...keep it up and hope to see you live at some mega concert

[jaydeb123]

he aint tht gd calm down :S , i dont think hes rock star material hahaha

[novaskotiaro]

dm then their a way of seeing how gd u are on the guitar.

[novaskotiaro]

do you do grades on the guitar?

[bgpiper]

I'm not sure what you mean...is grades the name of a song?

[novaskotiaro]

mate it sounds nothing like it nd how old are u

[bgpiper]

I was 18 when I made this.

[playmobitch]

baba o'riley? (o_o)?

[avillalba81]

This´s great song and good version but, it´s to long

[bgpiper]

Thanks! Just so you know, this isn't a Pearl Jam song, it's by The Who, and I am a big Pearl Jam fan, I'll consider trying to do Black or Alive, although it can be hard to convert hard rock/alternative to acoustic.

[ilovedavidtennant]

I can tell u r pretty passionate about ur playing and you do it well. Ur kinda cute 2! Nice going!

[bboyd2334251]

it sounds nothing like it

[bombpakk17]

wow that was amazing!! me and my band tried playing that for our talent show but were only in middle school so it wasn't that good. Its uploaed on youtube so check it out if you can

[bgpiper]

I'll be sure to do that. Don't be discouraged by your age, you will develop your strengths over time. I was only 15 when the band I'm in formed. You guys will be awesome by the time you get there.

[Jadoreorli]

Talk about suffering for one's art! Those poor fingers :/ Awesome job, Piper.

[ClaraMonstret]

Wonderful! Mayby you could do a duett with House? (;

[bgpiper]

I'm not sure what you mean. Is house a person?

[Tranchera]

Y'know that TV show, House? On one episode, the guy mimed to Baba O'Riley for about a minute.

Yeah I dunno.

[AngerTheory]

Baba O Riley is my fave The Who song, you covered it nicely! Good voice btw :D

[bgpiper]

Thankyou, and thanks for the subscription.

[gema777]

Fair play. Roger daltry would love that. Blown me away. Best of luck to you. Don't ever stop. xxxxxxx

[spartanassain]

try to add other instruments next time. Besides that, cool

[misfit9]

fuck this blew me away, at first i was like "what the fuck is he playing?" but then when u got to the chord progression i was like FCUK this is an amazingly original acoustic spin on a great song, have u heard the eddie629 version? he plays it like the original song and very well, but u get equal kudos for playing it ur way, ROCKON!!

[bgpiper]

I haven't heard the other version, but I'll check it out. Thanks a lot.

[misfit9]

its on the top of the links list in the related videos box, check out his other videos too

[bgpiper]

Yeah, I've watched it...very good.

[misfit9]

cool

[vedder8579]

mad props, man:)

[bgpiper]

Thanks!

[RLewis15]

wow that was really cool too. keep it up that was a really cool cover. Never would have thought to cover that song

[DhamanAshtar]

This was good. I didn't think this would work but you pulled it off.

[bgpiper]

Thankyou, and thanks for the subscription.

[mrpiccolo355]

what camera are you using? do u have a mic too?

[bgpiper]

It's just the camera and mic that are built into my computer. Neithe rof them are very good, but they get the job done.

[maggemann]

this was superb! i love the song. and you performed it great

[bgpiper]

Thankyou!

[liljagger]

DUDE!

Let me just tell you i have heard alot of teenage guitar players and they usually suck unless they are born with it..YOU ARE AWSOME! YOUR WERE BORN WITH IT...keep it up pal, i enjoyed it and i would dig it if you got some other tracks on 'youtube'. Have you ever recorded?

[bgpiper]

I have a lot of other songs up on Youtube, and I have recorded in the past. A friend of mine and I made a CD that we recorded, produced, and wrote. Thanks a lot for your support. You should subscribe.

[biaora]

great job bgpiper; you'd make pete blush. which guitar is that ?

[bgpiper]

That guitar is an Alvarez. Model No. 5043. Made February 3, 1977.

[GunsNRosesFanatic]

I have to say, you are amazingly gifted! Great voice great playing! I would gladly buy you a guitar! :D

[bgpiper]

Awesome, I've been wanting to get a classical guitar, you think you could send me one? hahaha

[cyn1688]

waaaw it s very very cooool i love this version!

[jreyes87]

that was awesome man.

[neogeno213]

started off a little slow and just got better and better. it ended on fire. dude, i never heard a version of this song on acoustic i liked. kudos :)

[bgpiper]

I'm not sure what you're saying about the facial expression. I look too much like a teenager?

[exorcist1998]

I really enjoyed that mate.

An excellant rendition and the only one I have heard on an acoustic thats any good.

Well done :)

[bgpiper]

Thankyou.

[turini]

to be honest it does not sound one thing like the real song

[dgooley]

Really? What guage strings?

[bgpiper]

They're Martin's 10s. I'm not sure what all the other strings are. I've just been practicing speeding up my right hand a lot lately.

[dgooley]

I was confused up until 2:00..

I really dig the way you changed the strumming pattern after 5:00, though, but it goes on too long.

Sounds good.

You must be using a really thin pick to strumming that fast.

[bgpiper]

It's a medium pick: .73 mm

[JDL9615]

i can't even play the radio as well as you play that guitar!
