[jherr5150]

@ilovemattblack Thanks :) I can tell you this was far from easy. Just practice and more practice is all I can say. This one took me a long time to learn.

[ProfessorOakmusic]

I actually listened to your playing of this song and then immediately went out and bought myself the Hal Leonard book - absolutely beautiful playing :) You should be very proud of your musicality and your ability to make an already beautiful song that much more inspiring.

[jherr5150]

@ProfessorOakmusic Thank you very much for the kind words and for listening!

I really love this tune

Great play!

[YofterMofter]

Nice playing. I wish you recorded it into a microphone, personally not a fan of the sound of piezo pickups. Thank you very much for posting it!

[manfredicomposer]

Your cover is excellent. I like it

[secretxaznmanx]

what pickups do you use?

[jherr5150]

[HanzP]

Hi Jason, great job and nice guitar! 5*

Cheers, Hansel

[davefordavefor]

Nice

[blair311]

Probably the best acoustic rendition of this song I've heard. Can you point me in the direction of the score? Or did you arrange this yourself?

[jherr5150]

Thank you! The arrangement is from a Hal Leonard book titled "Fingerpicking Ballads".

[Lowdenjim]

Another cracker Jason - that Martin sounds gorgeous; nice Christmas present!!

[flightbag89]

I loved your version of this classic....it had a much different sound than much of your other songs...I look forward to hearing what you have in store for 2010! Brien

[GuiTuber]

Awesome playing, Jason. Nice Martin too.

It sounded a little out of tune at times and maybe even a little buzz. Likely the capo wasn't quite right. Even so, this is a great fingerstyle piece.

-Rob

[hackpanic]

Wish I had a recording. Very nice.

[jherr5150]

thank you!

[tony59able]

Its all been said. Amazing.

[jherr5150]

thank you Tony!

[JoshwaBurke]

[jherr5150]

thank you!

[skeletone111]

This is awesome my friend!!!!

5*****

[jherr5150]

thank you!

[rhopen]

Hey Jason, this is a great one. As good a cover of it as one will hear. It that a Martin you have there? Looks and sounds great.. -Ron

[jherr5150]

thank Ron! This is a new Martin I got not even a month ago, an OM-28V. I helped fund it by selling my Gibson, but well worth it for me. Still trying to get a good mic'd sound out of it though, it's really bassy - so I went direct on this one.

[Oswlek]

It often takes playing like this to make me see past my preconceived notions of a song. I really don't like much by EJ, other than "I'm Still Standing" I am lukewarm at best to his entire catalog. But this was certainly a treat, you helped me see beauty where I hadn't before.

[jherr5150]

Thank you Justin, that means alot!

[lussetti]

Beautiful played Jason ***** -Lussetti-
