...Just so were clear, everyone knows this song is about a window washer...right?? Oh dont get me wrong its an excellent tune, and he did a great job on the guitar but I think the thing that makes the Barenaked Ladies who they are is they can take pretty much any ordinary thing... and turn it into a wicked tune. :)
An excellent version. Great job. I really like the little F# > G bass hammer instead of the typical E>G you are doing. It has a nice little twist to it. I might try that one out myself...
Your voice is pretty good, but your guitar is spot on for this song. I've been playing guitar for like 6 years, and I'm too daunted to even try this song, haha. I do a lot of songleading, so often my guitar takes a backseat to my singing. You do an incredible job on this one.
its taken a while to learn this song. WHen i first started guitar, I set this as my goal to sing/play. that was about 5 years ago. You have to get to the point where you play the chords (w/ all those crazy hammer-ons Ed does) w/o thinking. I'll probably re-attempt this sometime down the line.
Justin, I know you don't believe it because I say the same thing on every video, but that was magical! Honest-to-goodness earnest BNL. I think Ed would approve.
Great sound,, I have listen to many play .. a lot sing it fast ,, Great job..

Perfect job on this one, and you seem so comfortable with your guitar playing that your singing runs very smoothly.
I'm now working on this song and find it difficult to make a clean picking. But my goal is to achieve a cover as good as yours! :)

Excellent.
How long did it take you to sing and play this?
I can play most of it, but I try to sing at the same time and everything goes to hell. Good job
