[asw34wefdsf]

[abitofwhimsie]

Can I get this on Itunes??

[WallyWadeMovies]

I need to learn to play this song. I got the idea that my girlfriend likes it. She keeps sending me different takes of the same song

[TasslehoffFK]

You made me smile.

[koIdexx21]

I give it seven!

[Paracelsus23]

I think Edon is just joking cuz Isto's the lumberjack. As far as I can tell the best stuff on thetube only has two stars, I give it six!

[hugsandkisses2011]

well done!! bravo!

[SunsetSix]

Gorgeous sound.

[edonotokyo]

hey Chris

If you keep chopping those trees down there wont be any place left for bluebirds to fly home to. Great rendition.

[jamietruman]

[phnxdkkt555]

I've hated this song since i heard Norah Jones singing it, but now i like it ^-^

[chubnostics]

It's not right that someone is blessed with so much natural talent...............seriously­, he makes that look easy. That guitar sings in his hands, amazing dexterity.........love the voice too, like an old school crooner

Alph aplha eat your heart out!!

[Darthgorilla]

enjoyed it!

are you playing a nylon string classical?

sounds like it, although your technique is not typical classical positioning

6 stars

PS Great voice! you don't expect it coming out of someone wearing that hat

[joytoy322]

you really bring these classic songs back to life.

[aznbryanc]

Haha there are only two artists left that have voices so pure and wonderful with such great live performances: Isto and Mraz.

[juncappuccinoworks]

演奏、歌、風景、帽子など全てが気に入ってしまいました。何かと­ても和んでしまい、日頃の疲れを忘れてしましいました。有難う御­座いました。

[RedCult11]

the best and the most funny

[SenorAppleBerries]

nice hat lol

[muppetguachito]

:) you're so beautiful

[skippyrandom]

i was fortunate enough to see Isto perform last night in Brooklyn...

how wonderful! the man is a sight to see.

[kaiifa]

Great !!!! =)

[ambrookers]

Always on a *comedic* note... ;) haha Great stuff, love your rendition.

[ambrookers]

Always end on a comedic note... that's what I meant to say.

[internetisgood]

So great!!!!!!!!!!

[snusnu4]

[minooman]

[schumacherenator]

Haha, good one

[UFOIST]

Brilliant

[brokencontact001]

Simply Beautiful. I'd love to get me a classical guitar like that. But I cant grow my nails out to play one so majesticly.

[YokoTheBest]

What a great jazzy voice... beatiful arrangement... :) I wrote a transcription for the instrumental part ;), hope you didn´t mind.

[bmarsh1374]

see you all there !!

[deegingerkid]

Love you!

Can't wait to see you at Nelson Ledges in July! :)

[McMuffin66]

Incredible! We love Isto!

Come see him live at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in NE Ohio, July 25th!!!!

It's a fantastic weekend festival with an Isto party on Saturday night!

Swim, cliff-dive, skydivers, fire performers, great food, great music and ISTO!!!

See you there!

[theacsupercats]

OMG! I'm so going to be there!

[adrianscally]

Isto's voice could be the only pure thing left in a shitty, shitty world...

[ledzep191088]

hahahah

[kevinroney]

[Sevisija]

[FraserPUNK]

I want the Hat !!!!! :D

[marcoraty]

is very good man!..why that hat..jaja...

[tapiopenttila]

just amazing

[kokaneejoe]

is this Andy Mckee?

[thewoolybully]

lolllll this is not even close to anything andy mckee plays. andy mckee plays entirely instrumental, prewritten works. he doesn't do jazz. this man is named christopher white, he goes by isto, and he is the best guitarist ever

although they do both have beards.

[kokaneejoe]

What I meant is that he looks just like him, good one though.

[harlininRenny]

This isn't jazz

[poodlegirl4848]

OMG, that is my favorite version now, absolutely beautiful :)

[VeraSouzaMusic]

Fantastic!!!

[supernova1990]

[lauriebooth]

Fab, great, ten stars !!!

[Fred87K]

veru nice job !! Oo

[lanz0r]

LOL

[SONGSTICKS]

I really like this guy, his guitar playing is sublime and then he kicks in with his voice.. magic !!!

Blew me away.

and he's so prolific with his youtube vids, all of them gems !!

but also... HE MAKES ME LAUGH..and that's a good thing.

Talent AND humour... Bless yer heart mate.

[lolelyx]

omg the ending,so funny omg hahahaaha like a blue bird hahaha

[ntrimm]

I like it. Playing. Singing. Fun. Thanks.

[TurbulenceXM]

I remember this being the first song i listened from you. Just looking for different versions of this and came across yours. I liked the beginning, but when you starting singing i was surprised. You truly are an incredible musician/singer/songwriter.

[lazycub011]

OMG LOL..... the ending was EPIC.... LOL

[cachorrocerv]

En verdaderamente un fabuloso PERFORMANCE.

Ese hombre me encanto, por su resonancia vocal, Saludos desde Acapulco, te invitare a una lunada. Con un final comiquísimo, pero muy suyo, jaaa

CONGRATULATIONS.

[guiyees]

[BeTheBe5t]

[stoney626]

Honestly, I never really have ever commented on a youtube video. However, this guy is absolutely fantastic. A true music genius. This guy needs a showcasing. Phenomenal. Play a show in Chicago.

[redknight42]

I agree. They need to feature him on the front page so more people can discover him.

[justgreen33]

they have- he was featured with the banana song. and yes, he is amazing.

[ajmcdavis]

do you know isto? he sells seashells down by the seashore.

[kennytheworm]

hey isto, me and my idiot buddies actually pulled someone over with a fireman's helmet like that, only ours had a red cop light on the top. we turned on the light, stuck it on the dash, and blew the horn...the f.ing moron pulled over for our 1979 ford station wagon...noice.

[WeeeIan]

Ye know, Leona Lewis has over 4m views for her "over the rainbow", and I still prefer to this version to of it over hers.

Nothing against her obviously, just this has more , iunno, feeling to it I guess ;D

[RighteousFool]

I may have to grow a beard and get a fireman's helmet now. XD

Awesome!

[L10R]

Really enjoyed it. What a special energy.

[torjy1]

WOW - very very nice job!

[singingjuliec]

You are a wonderful musician and you have a beautiful voice too - congratulations! Fabulouse darlink!

[CircumradiantDawn]

I am so putting this on my iPod.

[kennytheworm]

this is a guy, because of whom, we are ALL richer...

[Morahman7vnNo2]

It's that damn 1950s voice! It almost makes me wanna trade in my 1930s voice! Ahhh! Damn fine job any voice.

[themusesicman]

BTW, did you know perfection is boring?

Thank you.

[vasilevsis]

[Paulinajtking]

[brehbrehgentil]

Speechless...

[tony9L9L]

Never before has a man with such a tiny helmet brought such joy to so many.

Life enhancing, thanks

Tony

[falumpi]

That's it man, I'm buying all your CDs, I have to have them now, I love your music!

[blackhawkcourt]

i think theres some magic in the "rough" step down. its like the chord melody of it all just matches the timbre of his sound. envy is proably the first feeling i have, then a little euphoria cause his phrasing and dynamics make me shout, "Yah jack Ya!!"

[Brianemcd]

I feel so amazing when I listen to this and some of your other arrangements

[blackhawkcourt]

do you tune 1/2 down?

[Brianemcd]

he is tuned "roughly" half a step down, I believe. Not exactly though, because I play half a step down and I still don't match his tone. But it's close.

[PeterHackman]

I tuned my guitar and played along, and to my ear and eye the perfomance is unambiguously in the key of Eb.

[PeterHackman]

Wonder how that comment landed here. It's a response to the comments by blackhawkcourt and Brianemcd, conjecturing

that the guitar was tuned a half-step low.

[ashlie72]

you're so great!

[Mangipinto]

you are funny

[RaveDork]

You Should Be Famous! :O

And I Love The Hatt :DD
