I am a man who do not cry, but this music and cover made me fall in tears. I always dreamed to play this tune on the guitar, but never could 'cause all tabs are wrong and I can it take by ear because of the picking part ... Sorry my english, I'm a brazillian boy who would like to thank you for the cover, and I'm sorry to ask, I really am, but can you help me with some tabs? Anything? It's my dream to play this song just like you! Thanks you very much just for reading.
Surprisingly good cover. It makes me wince for all the kids back in high school who would have killed to sing this as well as you do. A rendition that is clear and individual without trying too hard.
I stumbled upon mike masse searching for a pinball wizard acoustic performance. Sinc then i have watched him perform in great awe. When I saw his performances of "africa" and "paranoid android" I was hooked . A pure white light of talent. An inspiration to all musicians.
Can't say much more than everyone else has already said here! Really, REALLY like your voice. Your guitar playing seems effortless too. This is definitely one of the best covers I've ever heard of this song.
Mr Masse, you make it look so easy, and you sound phenomenal! When I'm trying to learn a new song I look you up to see how you do it. If only you would cover all the songs I like. Wish I could have part of your talent and voice. Awesome!
I find myself constantly coming back to listen and watch this guy. What a true talent. I pray I never get so jaded or otherwise caught up in life that I would be doing anything other than siting still and watching if I ever found myself in a pizza joint and talent like this was playing.
@mikemassedotcom Not too high priced are they? I actually like the bright, clear and clean tone it gives out, and I've been fretting over which strings I should get for my acoustic.
@mikemassedotcom I really enjoy your performances, especially the one you did with Jeff Hall on Sound of Silence. Great work! I currently have, along with my Epiphone Les Paul, a cheap Martin Co. Full Size acoustic and I would love to have a beautifully furnished Gibson Half Size and lay down those Exilir Light strings! But I have to ask your opinion, would you prefer Full Size or Half Size, also, my full size is coated with something and I hear that certain coating takes from the sound quality?
@BlackHawkGaming By size, you mean dreadnought vs. jumbo, or something smaller? Jumbo's (like my 12-string) are a bit harder to play if your sitting down, but otherwise, they're fun. I've had guitars of all sizes I've enjoyed. If you get something smaller (like an "auditorium", using the Taylor terminology--not sure if other companies call them that), they lose a little of the low end when played unplugged, but work great live.
@mikemassedotcom Well I'm only around late 17 years old and of course, until I get in and out of college, I won't have money to do expensive on my own lol but my father's friend has a personal full studio set up in his basement with quite high end tools. He showed me a huge collection of his guitars and one was a smaller than normal sized acoustic Gibson (smaller than yours). It projected beautifully and was all mahogany and I'm looking for a bright projecting Treble tone...not a large body =/
@mikemassedotcom In other words, if you were playing in a seated position (which you normally always are), you would most likely prefer (for comfort) the dreadnought acoustics?
Nice one, Mike. The mix is incredible here. And your pipes are great, man. Obvously you have been doing this for quite some time. I turned you on to my band mates here in D town. Hope you dont mind. Let us know when you have an itch to jam on a slightly larger stage.
great performance, from a fellow pub playing musician..i'm a drummer but have been playing guitar for 15 yrs, and was searching for a good version of this tune so i can learn it properly, and can say that i have found it ..great job , man..keep 'em coming !
What the hell is wrong with those people? They are not giving you appreciation you deserve. That was great man you should have gotten a standing ovation for that. You played well and You can sing great.
Hey Mike! I realy appreciate your work and most of all your voice... how can I get my hand on the TAB for this song...i would love to sing it for my collegues. thanks!!! Good luck!
Perfect! Excellent, clear voice, Mike. Wonderful job!
