I've always had fairly neutral feelings about this BJ piece, but, as with many of the songs you do, your stellar guitar has transformed it into something that makes one's soul want to step out and lead on the dance floor. I quite love it now. Thank you for that! :) (And you can sing, as well! :) )
This is an amazing cover mate, I have learnt this song for my list of covers for an upcoming gig and i watched your close up video and it was sooo helpful, i learnt what your playing in a night, was very viewer friendly
although i cant play it as fluently as you do, i dont use the fingerpicking technique often... you make it look too easy haha, subscribed anyway. good work :)
i wanna learn that song, is it ok if you'll kindly give me tabs or anything that would help me to play that way? is really really nice.. great job..=)
It is my mission to learn this song on the acoustic. The guy playing this is amazing! One of my top 5 favorite Billy Joel songs of all time! One day, Lloyd, one day.
Man great work. You should record with some good equipment. if you can avoid the falseto in the mid section I think it would sound better .. but other than that your voice is really great for the song up there with BJ himself it seems. More please!
dang that bridge is hard to sing- his songs are real hard to attempt because it takes balls or guts to try to reach the ranges he can sing. I am glad you did this song because I learned it a while ago but was discouraged because the key was so hard and I couldnt seem to transpose it to a comfortable key. Looks like I am gonna be doing it in D from now on. Thanks.
Awesome job! I don't mean to be super critical but I just have one little pointer for you. I don't know if you changed it on purpose but when you sing the "she just changes her mind" part you sing these notes:
Listening to you sing this song, makes my heart sink, lovely voice and great guitar work...see ya married, lucky wife..lol. Keep up the great work- Youre a delight to listen to.
dont need a tutorial mate, you already are a legend :)
