Mrs. Robinson (acoustic Simon & Garfunkel cover) - Mike Masse and Jeff Hall

[0040489]

Good

[idack]

5 people are tone deaf. This is pretty awesome.

[BrainlessDuck]

Any chance for a CD to be shipped to Europe (Finland to be exact)? You are just unbelievable.

[nismo20032]

Come to Boston, I promise people will actually have a good time and CLAP!!!! Your fans in Utah suck

[MadSpectro7]

Dat bass.

[psyTranc22]

nice harmony

[HelishSushik]

A really great cover, made me want to pick up my guitar. Thanks.

By the way, I just sneezed at the words "god bless you please Mrs Robinson", what a coincidence.

[joeeisenmenger115]

This is phenomenal. Really great sound.

[crownroyal1972]

Nice harmonies together, guys, and I like the peppy rock feel when you finish up the chorus..... good stuff!

[123zxc]

Awesome!!!

I just discovered your talents, wished I lived in the area.

Wishing you ALL THE BEST!!!!

[mikejanula111]

your harmonizing is spot on!! great! pleasure to listen to

[TheLanny91]

i actually like this much more than the original. You guys are amazing and I hope to see you all one day..

[guitarmartin57]

He's got his guitar tune down a whole step......

[mikemassedotcom]

@guitarmartin57 Nope. Check it yourself. First chord is F#, played on the 2nd fret. Chorus is an A (played in open position). We did it in the original key, I just don't play it with the capo.

[sandman8649]

you guys should cover the boxer

[OSlim786]

exceptionally good... you guys are amazing

[Liton777]

you guys totally understand

[sandriser99]

It's hard to see the chords he is playing with the mic in the way.

[UtzChips2009]

Jeff "Fat Strings" Hall has a voice of his own!

[FyxaMusic]

0:33 Epic power-up

Thumbs up!

[mistytrance]

Bloody hell!!! hEAVEN On earTH :) hEY HAi hey!!!

[mrpillsniffer]

this is the most i ever heard jeff sing lol i like it he should do it more! & by the way you guys rock, i found your youtube channel like about an hour ago and im in jersey, its snowing like crazy outside so im stayin in tonight, i been sitting here listing to all your covers (: great stuff

[morgantown1]

I find myself saying, "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio." Yet, it's not in reference to S&G--it's M&H, Masse and Hall.

[MrPresidentsClub]

Jeff really got into this one...I LOVE IT!

[pdomke]

another master piece.. brilliant

[tyleryesta1]

why not get a capo and play the riff?

[cjogocarmel]

I don't believe it would do any good --- you are probably just fine in UT ....... but ~ seriously

a miracle talent !....the world needs this magic > to tour a larger venue...

more than a breath of vitality for the lack-lust- pedestrian music > dumped on us today.

We are begging for you to share......

[John83Bhoy]

I have to just say that i stumbled across your video of Behind Blue Eyes and from there i have watched about 20 of your videos. Absolutely blown away. What a great voice Mike. You now have 1 massive fan in Scotland. Im going to las vegas on september 16th for 10 days. Are you playing in the Pie Pizzeria between 16th and 26th??? I would be more than willing to drive the 450 miles or so to come see you. I am gonna make sure all my friends on Facebook see your videos. Just outstanding. Well done!!!

[GabCorr]

You guys blow my mind!!! What an awesome cover =D I can't stop playing your video over and over. Seriously congratulations.

[aspinall06]

the 4 dislikes are the 4 people who own Pizza pubs somewhere else in that city and are going out of business....

[Lateralus6676]

the next paul simon and art garfunkel! you guys are both EXCELLENT vocalists and your voices harmonize perfectly, you deserve to be playing venues with tons of people that actually appreciate the greatness of your talent!

[ivorer9]

amazing!!!

[B5hipley]

great cover!

[sandwich117FTW]

0:59 - 1:02 WTF! plp keep gettin in the way D:

[sandwich117FTW]

0:59 - 1:02 WTF!

[imdabest561]

How are you not more famous? It's hard to find such exceptional talent such as yours these days...

[IgorRozinov]

Hey Mike,

As previously commented, you are simply and consistently amazing.

I just want to know whether you have been extensively, professionally trained, or is this the talent of a self-taught ?

[pacduckproductions]

great cover but i have one complaint....mike isnt using a capo on his guitar? whats up with that

[mikemassedotcom]

@pacduckproductions Yeah, I know he plays it capo'ed on the 2nd fret. I actually learned it like this and prefer it. I like being able to go down to that open E leading into the chorus.

[jakelangelier]

@mikemassedotcom i totally agree, open E makes it sound great.

[gvted]

Echt goed



[marksimon94]

Wow, your voices harmonize beautifully!

[ady102]

Mike, Jeff, another great cover. However, there is one comment I would like to make. Jeff is singing the melody here and it would have been better to hear more of Jeff's voice as opposed to his voice being over powered in some parts by Mike's harmony.

[GiDoRu90]

its great =)

i love your version =)

best,

Gio from Moers - Germany :)

[starvinfolkartist]

I'm checking out the Simon covers uploaded to utube.

He's 1 of my faves...not bad.

[paddymac81]

[windoor7]

Wonderful! Very beautifully done.

[mungung]

Absolutely sensational.

[Simpliband]

[Matte1011]

I didn't know Louis CK played guitar. Sorry, couldn't resist. LOL!  Nice job guys!

[sixstringer82]

Im a musician in australia and want to do the same type of thing at pubs. I will definitely be watching all your videos. just amazing guys!!!

[catkisser]

[mckayjom]

[mikemassedotcom]

@mckayjom PM sent.

[cotchery]

Mike looks like a cross between Danny Bonaduce and Wade Boggs, but he sings and plays guitar like the Christ child Himself. You guys are amazing, stumbled upon one video and soon had watched them all Outstanding.

[Ahil982]

fucking amazing!

[COVER484]

Perfect

[naits79]

this song is great..:)) god balanse between git and bass:)))

[unyok1964]

Very nice!

[rountreedon]

I have got to come to Salt Lake and hear you guys in person. Every video of yours impresses more than the last. Thanks for posting!

How's the pizza anyway? (Not that it really matters..............)

montanadon

[gidiulin]

bravi meravigliosi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NorcrossMedia]

Perfect... except for the Yankee hat... 5/5.

[rockbottomprods]

Nice one lads .I'd pay to watch you .

[MileSeventySeven]

unbelievably good every time. the harmonies & arrangement are perfect. you guys are so damned good! jeff, killer bass tone!

[evil0live]

I am not sure the harmonies are 100 percent right, but it still sounds good.

[muzaklover78]

@evil0live They are improving a bit and I REALLY enjoy it! Always nice to twist things up a little. I am sure Artie would be more than proud of this stellar performance.

[shguitars]

Mike what guitar are you playing? It looks like a Martin...

Same question to you Jeff. Looks like a Fender Jazz Bass????

[mikemassedotcom]

Our specific gear is listed on my channel page, but you're right on both counts.

[SiCkScOpEs101]

@mikemassedotcom How do you get such a crisp sound like you do on accoustic could u please tell meit wont let me on your channel.

[poptoprubber]

awesome as always guys 5+*****...

[sixfeetander]

I don't like pizza but I swear I'll eat it if you ever come to Barcelona. Five stars as usually. I'd like to see you making an "I'm only sleeping" cover by The Beatles!

[davekm43]

Great version as ever, you always please

[narrowbarrow]

Love all the recent S&G! You guys have to know The Boxer!

[steamrocket]

If you played in MY Pizza PArlour I'd soon look like Luther Vandross on a bad day! You're awesome #:-)

[klapchek]

Mike and Jeff... another gem. I agree with the1spen, every song you guys roll out here is dead on the money. I think you're too modest... can't help but think the 1st Monday of the month must be one of the Pie's busier nights! I look  forward to it and I'm way over here in PA!

[fredthejunkman]

Fab! You're too good to be stuck in a pizza parlor.....go on tour.

[mikemassedotcom]

Thanks for the comments, all. About being "stuck" at a pizza parlor. The nice thing about playing there is that there's a built-in crowd--people come whether we're there or not. I like not having to drum up an audience for every gig, like we would if we were playing at most other venues. Also, I've been playing there for 16 years, so it's a hard habit to break. True, some crowds aren't as vocal as we'd like, but we're soooo used to that now, it's just kinda funny to us.

[danslatente]

@mikemassedotcom How do you start getting nightly gigs at a local place like this??? Did you just ask them one time if you could come play and they said yes and that was it?! I'm now trying to get a position playing as a "Volunteer musician" at a local hospital, but I was told the crowd there won't really be that great...

[herbiesnerd]

Billy Joel said it best :" MAN WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE?"!!!

You guys are TIGHT! Fantastic harmonies, great vocals and what an awesome driving yet simple guitar part for a riff filled Paul Simon tune. 5 very big stars. Thanks Dave!

Randy

[stratplayer1956]

@fredthejunkman Seconded. The vocal harmonies are incredibly tight and these guys got the dynamics of the song down perfectly. I fucking dug it.

[Yahooooogle]

The staff & patrons at the Pie Pizzeria are very lucky indeed! I think you guys are slowly making this place famous...along with yourselves!

[chickadee2]

Mike as far as drumming up audiences, I really don't think you would have a problem with that at all if you put out Cd's and get them into circulation as soon as possible, and I would be one of your first fans to make sure they get around as much as possible .Hmm maybe hire me , lol Or maybe you can get certain trusted people in there states to get those cd"s around. That may be a idea huh?

[chickadee2]

Do you have to get permission from all the original artists to put out there songs on CD ? Just a thought.

[chickadee2]

Cd's and touring guys. Cd's and touring.

[chickadee2]

I will never get tired of listening to you guys. You both are a great talent.

[the1spen]

Cant you just mess up at least one song so we have something to compare all these great songs to? lol 2 of the most talented guys doing music on youtube by far.

[chickadee2]

That's very funny and I totally agree with you.
