  • SweetSheep, tell Bruce he's gotta do a CD of his tunes! Full blown acoustic CD. I'll certainly buy a copy if he does. Awesome!

  • Thanks for your comment, bookstar77. Bruce has actually recorded a CD, called "Color" (not all acoustic, though). If you do a search for his You Tube name, "Colorx", you will find some songs he has written and set slide shows to, plus a link to his website, where you can hear the songs from his CD.

  • cool you are a master player, and you could easily kill one of the oak ridge boys and jump into that group without anyone being the wiser

  • wOOt sounds gr8 =D

  • at the first moment i've seen you i thought »damn please not another bad classical gas interpretation«. but damn, u really CAN play guitar. i like you rocky interpratation, can you play something of paganini for us?

  • Well done mate. Awesome interpretation. You rock. Special Brew should only be drunk mixed with Scrumpy in a 50/50 mix...enjoy... i just know you're gonna try it!

  • Is that a can of Special Brew in the background? LOL that's like fizzy vodka that stuff.

    Good work on guitar.

    congrats on mastering a very difficult song.

    peace

  • I love this.

  • haha complement to your boyfriend for owning that song...

  • That was Impressive! Nicely Done! Could use a cold one myself after that display...

  • Damn you, I did intend to have a nice day learning the songs off of this new John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers DVD I got, but I saw your version of Classical Gas and now I'm going to spend the whole day doing that.

  • are you drinking miller??? lol

  • I recorded it in England and I'm actually drinking Carlsberg Special Brew. It's good stuff!

  • Great version. Best I've ever heard. Are you using a thumb pick or just your nails?

  • Just my nails.

  • sweepsheep you madmam!! very nice...

  • top fuckin notch!!and your beard rocks

  • Now that spices that up a notch or 3. Great job. i love the way you gave this song a well needed kick in the ass,Wooooo.

  • yes ive been waiting ages to find a excellent version of classical gas well done dude

  • Descent playing,my only comment for noobies on the guitar,that the one and only by far best performer,and,there is on youtube, is Tommy Emmanuel....i think SweetSheep you won't dissagree ;)

    Grats!Doesn't mean anything about your performance.

  • can u send me the tab of that version please

  • Sorry, I don't have a tab, as I played it by ear. Thanks for your message, though. I'm glad you like the clip.

  • bloody awesome! plz send me the tabs!!

  • Sorry, I don't have a tab, as I played it by ear. Thanks for your message, though. I'm glad you like the clip.

  • what make guitar is that it sound killer!

  • It's a Crafter.

  • Cool I have a nice crafter mandalin I had reworked with a better fret board and frets, had a nice sound but played crappy so i fxed it up.

  • kick ass man, by far the best one on youtube.

  • Gotta love your version man. I played it once, arrangement made by my teacher. But I played it like crap... mostly cuz I'm not really skilled at finger picking. Gotta love that little thing...

    Great job!!

  • You are by far the best one ive heard on here. Well done!

  • Amazing guy

  • DAMN! this song is so hard to learn 'specially when your 13 like me ^.^ nice job who did this and thanks to the person who posted this up, really inspired me :P

  • it was alright nothing compared to the real thing

  • Very Nice

  • NICE..I LOVED IT

  • A little bit of Tommy Emmanuel influence? ;)

  • best one on here

  • The few VERY MINOR mistakes add to the 'live feel. This is still amongst the best versions I've heard. I'd struggle to play half as well as that on my ibanez electri, which compared to an acoustic is a breeze to play!

  • Nice dude!

  • this version soudns even better man!, good playing!

  • sik

  • NIIIICE!

  • Different... I like it... Awesome stuff!

  • nice interpretation. i enjoyed it.

  • This song has something to it that makes it beautiful.

  • awesome job

  • I like your creativity with the song but I still like the original better

  • Wow! What a soulful performance; I dig the improvisation as well -- hey, Sweet, I hope he plays for you all the time! You guys inspired me to pull out my 3/4 Cordoba and do something with it; I told my son when he gave me the guitar for Mother's Day that I would be playing Classical gas by Christmas -- it looks like I'll be playing this You Tube performance for him!! WTG!

    Ciao!

    Tess

  • Excellent... That's what I got to get happening. Thanks

  • Makes me think I should pick up the git again, that was really good you've inspired me, well done from Sydney Australia : )

  • i love you, you fucken stoner. i watched your video of classical gas first and all the others just seem shit,they all look nervous and tense, your in bare feet,got your hair down fucken jammin, love it . da na na nah nah na nah na nah

  • you bf is good as hell!

  • It's great to ehar all these differnet versions. I loved this version, coz its not entirely TE's version nor is it like the Original. Its the player's own interpretation of the song

  • OMG, tell your boyfriend he has totally inspired me to play better!!! Oh and the so called mistake around 1:58 is actually a well placed, slided ghost note on the E-string, I love the improv, so bluesy.

  • Very very impressive, agree that imporvision is good :)

  • I listened to many others on here...you were the best. Others played the notes but you played from the heart!

  • Wow, well done!

  • wow... almost da same wif tommy version...

  • I LOVE the passion and the dynamics! You felt this!!! (Hey Sweet Sheep... is he this good in bed??? ;) YUM!!!

    I just got through watching another video of someone else playing this piece WAY too dispassionately - trying too hard to be too careful and too perfect. This one is WAAAAYYYY better! 8-D YUM!!!

  • ya thats real nice man, i think you should trim your hair tho because when u get to a serten age your hair will start to turn grey and i think you should give your hair a trim :p

  • Really enjoyed that! Cool improvisation!

  • awesome!

  • very very very well done.(besides the small mistake around 1:58) other than that you where very good. A great add-on too by the way. I loved it!

  • nice

  • Well done! I'm trying to learn this song myself and it's pretty hard. The improvisation kicks ass Oo

  • Great version, keep your hair, this isnt west germany, do what you want.

  • Awesome !

  • jduclos is a complete twat face dont listen to him.

  • Great Job. Although not perfect, it was a great rendition of one of my favorite songs. I hope to learn it before I go to college.

  • get a haircut

  • fukin marry the fuker!! in one word...awesome

  • fuckin sweet dude! jduclos really should remove his head from his ass! ever consider donating your hair to locks of love? i just did myself. anyway rock on dude!

  • kickass and by the way the JDuclos is a dick

  • good job at fucking it up at about 1:56 Thats worse than changing the words to the national anthem... cut your hair

  • Superb improv on a classic song, nice one.

  • Not bad at all, dude, and that's phrasing for high praise here in MN. Your left forearm must be huge.

  • Totally kicked ass!

    Self improvised, or tab?

  • Gay?

  • holy crap tat is the best man for a guy with a weired hair damn yur pro(no offence)

  • The best acustic version I've ever heard!

  • i love it, i don't like that he added bluesy riffs to it... but damn it sounds so damn good that i'm willing to ignore that it's two different styles. amazing.

  • i agree. he was doing great up until he put the blues riffs in. Still an awesome performance.

  • this is a cool folk song-like version! really good!

  • ur bf is cool

  • Well impressed!

  • Great song! Have you heard the Toby Turner version? More finger picking. Both are good renditions of a beautiful song.

  • i think it is mason williams but with out the intro

  • best version i've ever heard, wow!

  • wow! I LOVE your version of this song

  • can u ask him whos version that is

  • He actually learnt it by ear, listening to the original by Mason Williams. Not sure what version that makes it, but glad you like it, anyway! Thanks to everyone for all your kind comments!

  • hey exitthegame- just because you probably play guitar like ass, that doesn't give you the right to rip on ppl that are clearly better than you!

  • I don't rip! I give advise, and directions. I am pretty sure that most poeple apriciate it. I know I would.

  • The words are spelled "advice" and "appreciate".

  • of course, thank you

  • (in the middle)

  • nice improvisation if it was :)
