Wish You Were Here (fingerstyle guitar)

[brgrgrgr1]

You should really sing the first line, but change it: "So, so you think you can play", No we can't but you can!!

[jawmunji]

@brgrgrgr1 Ha ha, but then everyone would know that I can't sing! :)

[Giova180386]

awesome, man! thanks for these 4 minutes

[MrLonewolfe19]

this is so beautiful! i love this so much! <3 

[SuperPunchout3]

A constipated Joe Buck kicking out tunes?? GET OUTTA HERE XD

[jawmunji]

@SuperPunchout3 Ha ha, I've been compared with at least 10 other people, but never that guy. Just looked him up...nah, ya reckon? My favourite comparison so far has been John McEnroe; Brett Favre was kind, Chris Ballew maybe(!?)...or how about my fellow Aussie Pete Hellier?

Nice work :)

JAW

[dippyguitarist]

Thank you for sharing this, what a fantastic job! I've been endlessly searching youtube for a decent cover and tab and i've finally found it/you. I'll learn from this. Keep on enjoying the music ;-)

[devotedatheist]

I just bought a classical guitar (nylon string) for a first guitar before moving up hopefully to acoustic and electric etc... can i play all the same songs and chords i could on an acoustic guitar on a classical?

[preetam450]

wish i could play like that

[TheMarcoloide]

Beautiful! 

[jordandye777]

Amazing. Holy shiZ

[jedi1991]

Really nice work!!

[zergravity]

May I ask what strings/guitar? Excellent version of an excellent song!

[jawmunji]

@zergravity Maton EM225C, I run d'addario EJ16 strings on it, I haven't played it for quite a while now, I've gone back to a nylon string guitar!

Thanks,

JAW

[JawasCantBeTrusted]

Shit hot!

[98765432136281]

Bravo!!!



[jamieleeisaacs]

awesome, I sat & sang all the way through, thank you!

[Waiting7up]

great cover and great fingerstyle! see my cover on 12 string!

[MrSenorG]

dude i can't play to save my life but what you got is amazing you are in a league of your own

[interpachino]

very very very good....

[RodolfoMontes96]

AWESOME!!!! VERY GOOD VIDEO CONGRATULATIONS!!! :D I Like Pink Flyod

Pink Floyd is my life :)

[iamkuljuarenot]

if it sounds so good that you don't need to sing, that should tell you something

[iamkuljuarenot]

unbelievably good

[WhichOnesPink1975]

You got some mad skills man, i come from four generations of musicians and i was a little skeptical but this blew me away. rock on man!!

[lazoputz]

Well now, I hope you dont mind but I HAD to post this to my Facebook page.

[jjsearson2007]

wow!!!

[Phebus159]

You're amazing!

I'm using this song as my alarm clock :)

Someday I'll be able to play as well as you do :D

[TonyC1906]

Tbh i think this a bit sloppy as far as the intro solo goes. Also the timing seems a bit off to me. It seems a bit overlooked. I like the fingerstyle but i think you could do this just as well with a pick and a 12 string. Dont take it personally im just a big PF fan who is really pedantic with covers of them.

[Chacruna]

ur my favourite fingerstyle guitar player here on youtube, love that

[jawmunji]

@Chacruna Glad you liked it :) I should re-record this on the nylon, I reckon I get sweeter tone and expression on the classical, always sounds and feels great to play this one. Highly recommended to have a go!

JAW

[guitarXpro1]

@jawmunji I agree it is better on the classic guitar. Nice cover anyway.

[dangerousrule]

Simply Amazing. Loved the style!!!!!!

[MrRustyBob]

Outstanding !

[Robb9096]

terrific! I'm almost ready to throw my pick away ... almost! lol

[zamzamzeo]

vraiment cool!!!!!!!

[fernandopescia]

Grande lavoro, ottimo risultato! Complimenti.

[MetalMeid666]

Amazing! One of the best covers I've ever heard :o 

[pipsqueek14]

[18DaysToHell1]

Wonderfull! No more word, i would like to learn it, i'm not good enough but i'm really tring to improve myself to play this, thanks for te video, for the tab and for the inspiration that you give me!

[Casperglitter]

[jawmunji]

@Casperglitter Ha, record player indeed! :)  Glad you liked it, and thanks!

jaw

[lanceamus]

I've got the same guitar by coincidence and really digging fingerstyle. thanks for the mad site with the fingerstyle data base and have just started on the tab for this song :) Thanks

[jawmunji]

@lanceamus No worries, glad you like it! Post up a video when you're done :)

JAW

[bmwmusicgirl]

0:48 - 0:51 is giving me a heck of a time as I'm trying to learn this song, any tips?

[jawmunji]

@bmwmusicgirl Indeed, you're just going to have to play it over and over again until it feels natural. No tricks for that, just practise! Good luck with it - fantastic song :)

JAW

[bmwmusicgirl]

@jawmunji Thanks, I've been practicing constantly and I've almost got it

[JeepJunky77]

I never comment on youtube, but this is worthy. Well played, make the strings sing. I like it.

[beachybrit]

Wow that was amazing

[skarngh]

44 people will envy corrodes

[lulumatos21]

excellent music, beatiful!! thank you!!!!

[Grecianite1]

Absolutely amazing..This is prob may favourite ever song - in my head I am always doing things with the music, adding bits and pieces. You have somehow managed to exceed that on your guitar. I've only been playing guitar for 7 years - if I can be anything like this in another 25, I'll be happy.Thank you!!

[kbarbour467]

This is absolutely amazing.

And those words don't even do this video justice.

@MoodSwing12358 Ha ha, thanks mate :) I first picked up a guitar in 1978 - so I should be a lot better by now!

JAW

[GerardMcCrackenLOL]

Well done! Really enjoyed listening.

[jawmunji]

@kylelavender Sure is! got to my channel and follow the link to mp3 downloads. Glad you liked it! :)

[wmh1995]

It's like i can hear the words coming from the guitar

[Theinoch]

OMG! 666 comments ! I think devil likes your cover=)

[juegas]

haha trying to play it off like it was nothing...Security!

[say3you3wont]

is this tab the same if you sing with it?

[jawmunji]

@say3you3wont A trick question :) You could sing straight on this but it's a bit redundant because you are singing the same melody as you are playing...not to mention complex. You could simplify it immensely, even just play the chords, if you are going to sing it as well. That's the trick with fingerstyle - instead of singing you play the melody...singing on fingerstyle kinda defeats the purpose :)

JAW

[jayman878]

do it again on a 12 string.....that was immense.

[sergeantvinogradov]

great staff, thanks for posting!!

[priyaibb]

bravo!,, best cover i hav seen so far on utube! :)

[anemoful]

wow!! FANTASTIC!!!!

[cboisy38]

great cover. it really captures every instrument including vocals just on one guitar

[vernonsaturation]

@jawmunji thanks for the support, yeah i'll try and post a vid when im done. Hopefully wont take me 15 years, haha. Then again, you did all the hard work. I respect it though, takes quite the patience to write music.

[uplandtube]

amazing, tnxs

[vernonsaturation]

I really enjoy learing this song, i have both your powertab and a print out, and ive been working on it since august 25 ish at leaat 2.5-3 hours a day. Still only have the first page learned, and the bends a re still a bit shakey. Anyways i just wanted to thank you and let you know i enjoy all your covers on here, keep up the great work.

[jawmunji]

@vernonsaturation Excellent to hear it's working out for you. It's tricky stuff, keep plugging away at it, I've been playing a continually evolving version for at least 15 years! Post up a video when you're done, it's good for you :)

Thanks,

JAW

[TheSuicidalChipmunks]

Probably the most amazing cover I've seen so far

Incorporating the vocals into the guitar part...wow...simply brilliant.

[mrprobe1]

I think David would enjoy your cover of this song

[tiburxxio]

[RonRastaRico]

very nice , i really like the beginning , that sounds great

[92Pranav]

its brilliant, finger picking .....to another level....subscribe!!!!

[xexodusx]

I WISH I COULD PLAY LIKE THIS.. i will give up 10 years of my skateboarding life over this..

[TumisHumis]

@xexodusx 10 yrs of skating is 10 years of doing nothing. I would also give nothing to play like this.

[wheeliewheelie]

excellent...

[aaronsworldz]

good cover but just throwing the chords in through the solo just screwed it a bit

[MRGBPL12410]

That was SWEET!

[RyanLDay]

You, slayed it. nice job

[bigDD73D]

Wow.. this is one of the best acoustic cover I have seen over here! Just sweeeet to hear! I have printed out your tabs and giving it a try. Might be as good as you in 2-3 years!!! :) Thanks for sharing.

[ILCAPITANOK]

[highlanders1984]

great sutff - all of your videos - is there a DVD available ?

[jawmunji]

@highlanders1984 Follow the link on my channel I've got a website with .avi's posted, you could pretty easy make that into a DVD. Sometimes I forget to upload them, so if there is one missing that you are after let me know! :)
