  • hey I have a question.. do you record your voice before and then the guitar and fake the video?

  • AMAZING!!!!!

  • great cover 5 stars

  • wow man....That was so cool....

  • I like this so much (maybe even more than Plaint White T's version)

    I don't know much about music but I think your acoustic guitar performance is great, and it would be even better if you improve your voice more :D (for exampe, the quite high parts like "you" at 0:45 , "do" at 0:56 ... in this song) Of course I didn't want to write out every of your errors, they're just some suggestions ;)

    Hope you'll do well :D

    Hope that my sentences make sense (I'm not really good at English)

  • best cover on youtube dude

  • this is actually such a good cover.

    i'm jealous of how talented you are.

  • can you tell em the strumming pattern plzzzz i beg of you

  • could you make a tutorial for this song plzzzzz im begging message back plz

  • Awesome man. Best i've seen on here so far. :)

  • nice man..the of the best

  • does anyone know how to make a c # chord?

  • psh i might be a douche but certainly not a hater, just someone that can play and sing that song way better than you

  • Only because of the way you said it. But, in all reality there are plenty of people better than I. If I were better, I would have more subscribers, and would do more than play guitar in my living room. So it's all relative.

  • wow you're an ass.

  • Oh btw, I LOVE your voice. It's so beautiful! I forgot to ask premission to use your version. I already printed it out and labled it as "1234- Plain White Tees (Solo Version) Redone by Brandon Tran. Goodnight people!

    ~~Ange**

  • Thank you SOOO much. I needed to pick a nice love song I could sing to my Grandparents for their annerversity. I may not be able to play gutair but people claim I sing like a bird. I just really couldn;t figure out how to sing ikt because it overlaps. But thank you so much Brandon! I'll be sure to check out your blogspot because I have one too! Thank you again!! ~~Angela Drummond

  • Is he blind ? No seriously, hes just starring into the air ?

  • Lol your username is probably the best I have seen on youtube. I could have a lot of fun with a username like that. But yeah, seriously. I got mad during this song because as soon as I did any looking away from the words I would mess something up. So I said forget it, ima just stair at the words and anyone who complains might cause me to go get a new uername hah.

  • Haha i get your point, i do exactly the same thing, when playing guitar! hehe . Regarding my username, i have no intentions pissing people off, its just fun ! :)

    But despides the fact, that you look blind, i love your cover of this song !

    Looking forward to hear more from you :)

    Ps. im sorry for my spelling ect. im not from a english speaking country :D

  • at 0:10-0:11 there seems to be an extra note, I can't exactly tell if it's the background beat or what he's playing.

  • 10th fret for the high e and the b string. So 2 bottom strings 10th fret. It is 2 notes. I notice so many people only doing 1 note. I'm pretty sure it's correct to play 2 notice like I play it here. I'm not a purist though, so it could be different.

  • Yeah I seen that, i meant like after the slide. Which frets are you playing after the slide?

    By the way your video rocks, i like it better than the original version!

  • CHEESE! great cover though

    in the solo, i noticed you're doing a pull off on the B string from 7th to 5th fret instead of picking the 9th fret on the G.. its much better that way!

  • great job!!!

    1 2 3 4 :)

  • what is this song's name

  • 1, 2, 3, 4 - plain white t's :)

  • wow

  • Thanks man! hehe I keep getting that question. I have answered it a few times but in the mix of providing tons of info on the song it gets buried.

  • could you please tell me the strumming pattern for this song, i know everything else i just need the strumming patter.

  • AWESOME 5 BIG STARS!!!

  • Love this....so awesome!!!
