dude! that kicked ass bro! i love journey and this song, you did the band right kidd! its weired to hear it done in this manor, Awsome job man, thanks for sharing
hey man u have one hell of a voice!!!!!!!!!!! really im from ireland and im use to melodic voices but hell man, kad meel-a fall-sha!!! get ur ass over here soon ;-)
great job dude. i like this more than the original version of the song now haha. any chance you can share the chords and the finger picking pattern? thanks a lot.
@pulisvdos It was pretty simple, capo on the 2nd fret...playing chord shapes in the key of Em (F#m because of the capo.) I honestly don't remember as I figured it out right before I recorded it and haven't played it since. I find it's best to figure out something you want to learn by ear. You're going to grow as a musician much faster and with more depth this way rather than reading a tab.
This is at the moment, my favorite song out there. Your cover is deserving of American Idol (well actually better, that show is kind of annoying). Good voice, well played, and rendition fits you. Awesome! :)
Very good, your voice is very beautiful and you play awesome, it gave the song a very beautiful twist, no negative critiques here...only...can you please make more videos??? You're really good.
OHH MYY GOSSHH!!! O_O beautiful!!!! Awesome job both playing and singing i wanted to cry i love it !!! and thanks for the tabs too man I've been wanting to learn this song.
You are AMAZING. Wonderful guitar playing and wonderful voice. I like this so damn much I wish there was an mp3 of it I could listen to on my Ipod. It's awesome. Fantastic job.
omg. like i would say so much but yer wayy beyond what i could say its just wow =) you have the whole advantage -great instrumental skills on the guitar -awesome vocals -and good looks imma be uploading vids soon. im a singer but i dont play guitar. i play a tid bit of piano tho ahhaaa aywayss er really good PS> i subsribed ^____^
You're fucking amazing! Not only are you an amazing guitarist, but you're an awesome singer too! Can yu take a look at a couple of my videos and tell me what you think?
this is the best thing i have seen and heard on youtube probably since ive been on here....thank you much for the upload, i must try and learn this version of the song, thanks again.
This is a home vid, rough and beautiful. This is the best cover of that song I have ever heard. I rated it 10, mainly because it was so well presented that the homespun quality is actually a plus. It and he become an enigma.
Wow, incredible cover. This has always been one of my favorite melodies... The way you covered the chorus really gels with the lyrics, and your voice is really fitting. Keep it up mang!
Dear Chance, Have you been able to get your laptop fixed? I am waiting for anything else from you. I know my subscription is going to pay off one day :)
It's trash! I don't have the cash to buy anything else right now. I promise though I'm focusing on it in the next couple weeks. I have to. Thanks for the patience:P
I don't know if I would say this is "better" than the original per se, but I can see how this version could appeal to someone who doesn't like the original.
I like the original, but it does sound dated. (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there will be those who have a problem with it.) This version won't sound dated 20 years from now.
So, for that, and the fact that this was well performed, it's definitely worth a five star rating.
Ok people might get upset at this comment, but I have to be honest. In my opinion, this cover is better than the actual song. This is why. The original song was done by one of the greatest bands ever, but the video made people not take it seriously..this acoustic version adds a depth and seriousness to it that wasnt there before. 5 Stars man. Incredible, good voice too.
Your welcome bro, keep playing. I have my own cover of this song too, Ill post it one day soon, although yours will outshine it by far lol. What kind of guitar is that by the way?
It's a handmade Breedlove Fusion model from back when they were still in the tiny factory in Tumalo Oregon. Beautiful guitar with one of the best tones I've ever heard. Need to get it dialed in sometime though, new frets.
Thanks for the feedback. I actually like the arrangement, I think it adds an unexpected dynamic. Anyone can sing loud and full of passion but I think this makes you more attentive to the meaning of the song and lyrical implications. I think they speak loudly enough on their own.
I just got through saying that it just doesn't carry the same passion without the electric guitar and drums....and though it is true this isn't quite the same, it is just as good in its own way. Way to take a classic and make it your own!
That was absolutely the BEST cover of any of the hundreds of covers I have seen on here. Ten stars my man. I would be honored to hear you cover some of MY originals (my voice sucks). If interested let me know!!
Really, really gracious of everyones comments! You are all far too kind. I apologize for only posting one video so far. My lap top with all my recording programs completely crashed and I don't have the money to replace it at the moment. I DO in fact have about 5 other "untypical" (if you'd like to call it that) covers ready to go.
That is an amazing cover. I clicked on the link because I wanted to see someone make a train wreck of Seperate Ways acoustically. Not only did you pull it off, it sounds amazing.
You posted one video??!!! :( That's really sad actually. This is amazing. Great voice. Fantastically played too. Added to my Best of Covers list. You are special. This cover is just gorgeous....Wow...
WOW! Your voice is AMAZING!! (Not to mention SUPER hott!!) I LOVE the original, but I think this is as good if not BETTER! The guitar sounds really original and really works with the song...
GREAT JOB //////// FIVE STARS §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
