[ofbullet]

[tootone76]

Simon and Garfunkel do The Smiths.... I'm impressed, very nice.

[johnnyXsniper]

great version, really different but great

[StrawberryJungle]

Wonderful interpretation.

[cxcmb]

wow... nice spin on this. kudos, my good man ^_^

[dzorba2000]

Love your interpretation very much my friend

[suckonitdouche]

This guy is fucking amazing!

[majikdragon]

I started out thinking what the hell is this. After a bit it started growing on me and by the end it almost brought a tear to my eye. EXCELLENT cover.

[thedudefromthehood]

awesome

[momax29]

GREAT JOB!!!

You did a good version.

[Drauph]

Wow man, you play badass! I liked how you kept the cold feel of the original but gave it an earthy touch of your own, this an instant fave, keep at it sir!

[donnywal]

I'd love to hear you do a Radiohead cover...random i know, but the thing you did with this is FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!

[donnywal]

great! you did it your way and i appreciate that 100%, that is what im looking for in cover songs. boring to hear it the same old way. 5 stars

[mbdtsmo]

That is an awesome cover version. You made it into a new song with it's own charme.

[dylanlawless1]

I like that alot

[interceptormj12]

I really enjoyed watching this. It was a great performance. I just have one question: did you record this in the bathroom? 

[TadBenDawson]

@interceptormj12 Thanks a lot and, yes, I did. I wanted to see if the acoustics in that room would help the audio. I've used the same camera (a Flip Ultra) for all my videos to date, and sometimes the audio sounds okay, sometimes less so.  I usually have to boost the output level, but considering the low price of Flip Ultras, I really can't complain.

[zogrush]

you look so camera shy

[kentphotokent]

Love this cover. Better than the other covers.

[donnywal]

@kentphotokent : I said the same thing, agreed!

[kentphotokent]

Love this cover. Better than the other covers.

[BAHchikabowwow]

Great cover man

[4st5lbs]

i love your fingerstyle, very jerry reed-esque, good cover, one of my favourite songs of all time, and you do it justice.

[jeffreyjoe45]

amazing cover.

[Kablaine]

@TadBenDawson Thanks man. Once again really amazing stuff!

[hellodarkness84]

Excellent cover! I also love the tone you get in that room man, I'm guessing it is those tiled walls that give you a "natural" reverb..

[whatwindow]

sweet cover! this really rocks!

[TadBenDawson]

Thanks, everyone, for all the comments and ratings. I truly appreciate it.

[1999phoebe]

the guitar was louder than you.

[rocketboys91]

Bravo, Old dog!

Rock till the end

[Denis303]

Fantastic version!

Well done mate.

[Kablaine]

wow. this is amazing. great voice and great guitar adaptation. fantastic. do mind telling me what the chord sequence is? :)

[Kablaine]

@Kablaine do you*

[misteresock]

@Kablaine I watched for a few minutes and played along. The only change seems to be that replaced the main F# riff in the verse with a C#m7. The rest of the chords are essentially the same as the original, just in a slightly different form.

[misteresock]

@Kablaine I just rewatched and I think I got something wrong here: Instead of the C#m7 (which, with the capo would be x02010), it SOUNDS like he's playing 000210 (again, shifted w/ the capo). Technically thats an F#9 but without the 3rd. Either way, this is a really cool adaptation.

[Gazza92Good]

Nice man, pro guitar playing and good singing to go with it *****5 stars

[ghmeixner]

Stellar. Just stellar. I'm not even sure what else to say. Five stars. More if I could. Great technique with the fingers, and the voice was like a kick in the chest- in a good way.

[TheVitreous]

this is nuts. im seriously picking up what your throwin down bro. amazing cover.

[flyngsnow]

oop i meant WONDERFUL!!!!

not-?

[TadBenDawson]

Haha, well, the question mark was probably more accurate. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

[flyngsnow]

wonderful?

[PopSong1]

WOW, you really made this song your own. You are really talented!  Great Job!! 5 stars!

[TadBenDawson]

Thanks.

[josiasarnaldo]

thanks, now i can play this song in a better way, for the girls, you know. We must get to their secret garden. 5 stars for you.

[TadBenDawson]

Well, thanks a lot. And good luck!

[spiceysquid]

You made the song your own man. Good job.

[TadBenDawson]

Thanks a lot.

[ac89dc]

I had to watch this again right after I saw it. Beautiful playing man.

[TadBenDawson]

Thanks much. I was trying to come up with an acoustic equivalent, if you will, of the shimmering, oscillating guitar of The Smiths' original and wound up with what you hear.

[HolyCrapJer]

Very good job...the song sounds sadder in your version but really nice, too.

[TadBenDawson]

Thanks. I hadn't really thought about it like that before, but I believe I would have to agree.

[PISSDRUNC2]

I like your take and style

[TadBenDawson]

Thanks a lot.

[TadBenDawson]

Thanks, everyone. I truly appreciate your comments. You are very kind.

[LewisKiernan]

I love your voice. you sound like you've swallowed some gravel! good stuff man!

[TadBenDawson]

Haha, well, thanks a lot. It's true I've never had the phrase "smooth vocal stylings" directed at me.

[LewisKiernan]

That's what is so brilliant about it though. You have this really emotionally charged voiced! It's really cool. Very characteristic. :)

[ORz42]

Excellent!

[rem299]

good stuff

[JonathanDVD]

simply awesome!

[zurimach]

wow best "how soon is now" cover to me, very original

[bunburyZ]
