Man, after reading these comments, I feel embarrassed. Jeff Buckley has some of the best... and the worst fans in the world. First off, good on ya for covering one of his songs. I got kind of a Bob Dylan-esque feel from this. If you made a few modifications to the arrangement to make it sound more folksy, perhaps finger picking rather than strumming, I think it would sound even better. A radical shift in genres would probably suit your style better. Other than that, I liked it. Cheers, mate.
@HungarianMafioso don't think I agree with you mafia guy, Jeff's fans aren't the worst. Just very protective of his music. Jeff is like the holy grail and other's who cover him and then put it on youtube, taint his songs. This guy's probably nice but this is horrible.
@nat00ben06 I understand that Jeff is one of those "untouchable" vocalists. But his fans put him on such a high pedestal, that we can't even enjoy, let alone see the artwork from down here anymore. It's covers like these that are keeping his memory alive, not locked away in a museum somewhere.
@HungarianMafioso yea ya know mafia you're right in a way, but that pedestal was made exactly for Jeff Buckley and a few others. What I mean is an artist such as Buckley is that it can't be avoided they are so talented, to marvelous, to unique, to AMAZING that the highest spot is where they go. Most of the coverer's are very mediocre, no slam that's just the way it is!
Dude, I think youre on to something here. SLOW DOWN, your voice is well suited for Jeffs version but SLOW DOWN the song is something to be enjoyed not rushed through. Good attempt, lots of potential, but try again this isnt your best effort. Im sure of it.
And you have no respect whatsoever for geniuses like Jeff!
Do some Nickelback covers first, then have some fun with Michael Bolton, but please leave Jeff Buckley alone. What did he do to you to deserve such treatment?!?
what the hell is this? The only reason this has 18K+ views is because people like me came upon it by mistake. Now I need to hurry and go listen to Jeff doing it just to cleanse my soul so I don't have nightmares tonight.
Good show, m'friend. Nevermind those who just spew their hate and try to bring you down...Jeff was free...and he certainly took liberties when interperating songs as covers. I think you've done something in "the spirit" of Jeff. You put your spin on it and that's just fine. Keep on keepin' on.
just a constructive , critic, the song is played in open g tunning , thats why your cover sounds so awful, you should try to play it with that tunning
C'mon dude, don't put it on youtube go play it at your local coffeeshop and be happy, ok! You're trying to cover one of the best singers that ever lived. Just a glut of mediocrity at least be mediocre with one of your own songs.
So silly. I mean. I didn't like it although some parts are interesting...but it wasn't a good cover (vocally speaking because the guitars are great). But music is art, art is fun is fun is what J.B. tried to have from music...I believe you're more worried than J.B. would be if he were alive. Honestly...Good and crappy or something in the middle - just see this video as a celebration that makes J.B. immortal.
You know its people like you who really make performance and the joy of trying more difficult. Do you think Jeff Buckley would be worried if some dude wants to sing his song. Fuck he knows all the words and the chord progression give him a break. Leave this dude alone, if he wants to cover a great song then let him.
@jimi44thousand I agree, if someone loves jeff enough to cover his music then good on them. im a serious J.B fan, i do covers aswell, because im in love with his music. not because im trying to outdo him, you cant anyway jeff was too good.
I don't usually like covers of Jeff's songs because something about them makes them seem so unrecoverable.
I've been searching the world for a good cover of one of his songs and I've only found a good few that I feel really capture what Jeff was trying to say. And your cover is one of them.
This has got to be one of the best Jeff Buckley covers I've seen in a long while. Thanks so much for his!
Thank-you so much for your sincere comments I rarely play this song live as it requires a special sort of something from inside yourself to understand Last Goodbye.
I never understand why there are so many people who criticize Jeff Buckley covers, especially when they are fantastic ones like this.
To the people who are whining about him playing the song differently, are you fucking serious? Get over yourself.
I can't believe the amount of close minded people there are in the world, it's quite disappointing. Jeff would be so proud to have close minded fans following him /sarcasm
I cannot show my appreciation enough in words in response to your comment . The thing is that 99.9% of people who give me a negative comment never ever show me up with their proper version and if they do I will acknowledge it. You are right Jeff was so into music he would never react their way.
i forced myself to remember my old account sign in just so i could inform you that you should never perform buckley ever again. completely horrid. way to ruin it.
Thanks heaps I thought it must be in open tuning but did not know which key I will learn it in open d and post a new clip when I have got it comfortable thanks again
good rendition!

Yes it was different from Jeff's version, but even Jeff had multiple versions from live shows.

I love Jeff Buckley, and I think this is a very honorable cover, in a different style (talking about vocals and guitar).
I always try to play like Jeff with my guitar while I sing and there are parts impossible to cover. I think this is a nice video from a good artist.
To the musician: You must improve the 3.30 part ;P but very great job!

They are way more complex I play this version with a friend who plays the "proper"version they sound awesome together
most likely when Jeff 1st played this song from his head he may have done it this way or God forbid even simpler. There are only 6 notes.
