Thunderball - Jack Hicko plays 007/John Barry

[key2kingdom]

This is too cool.

[mussie302]

Very nice. You certainly cover a lot of different stuff.

[sotosan20]

that's a long story!!

[sotosan20]

so this guitar means a lot to you.

[jackhicko]

@sotosan20 No, this one I bought in 1992. My first was a no-name electric which I quickly replaced with a Goya Greco, similar to this one. Within one year, I replaced that with the Yamaha FG140 I am playing in my Beatles THE END cover video here on my channel. I am dangerously long-term unemployed and will soon be selling that Yamaha. I am currently auctioning the condenser mic from this video (not the voice one, the guitar one) on eBay. Auction ends one week from today, April 9th.

@sotosan20 Sorry, I meant over on the "marksecunda" channel. This is my out-take channel.

[sotosan20]

man you are awesome!!! the living daylights was a great cover!!!! how many years did it take you to learn guitar and when did you start??

[marksecunda]

@sotosan20 I got a guitar for Christmas 1970. I bought a piano book "50 by Lennon & McCartney" and tried to play every song each day (in the wrong keys). I lived far from my friends, so I was able to do 4-6 hours a day. I owned the Goldfinger LP, but never dreamed you could play that kind of music on guitar. Soon after, I discovered Jethro Tull and it just took off from there. I wanted nothing more than to play those songs. Thank you for writing!

[Toracube]

Fantastic cover. One of the best I have heard. Great work. Andy

[OasisShmoasis]

This is great - better than the overblown original - a little like the original, more suspenseful version of Goldfinger by Anthony Newley...

[curlingto]

Jack, is there nothing you can't play??? Your talent is amazing, and very appreciated, as shown here on the YouTube slots...Thanks!!

[jackhicko]

Thank you for writing!

[curlingto]

Really enjoyed this one Jack. Very nice bassy singing.

Look forward to more of your videos.

Here is a Tull challenge for you... Rocks on the Road. This is one Tull song that I have never heard anyone cover.

[marksecunda]

Hi, I've been working on Jump Start for 15 years. Rocks on the Road is a few years off unless I start posting my unlistenable rehearsals! Thanks for writing... I almost didn't post this video.

[bobg825]

A nice "restful" performance. Your recording technique has improved  too. I enjoy watching the fingering.

I would like to point out that my friend Bob here is 91 years old and is Master of the iMac!! He is after me to record "This Could Be the Start of Something Big". He and I record textbooks for blind students together. By the way, Bob, it's all in the microphone... here I am using my nice one!

[joesutube]

You make John Barry Proud.
