Fabulous. You pick up the little nuances that make this such a good song. BRAAAAVOOOO my friend. I'd love to know what JT would think of your versions..... Regards, Alun
Sometimes a carbon-copy outshines the original especially when the original artist gets lazy over the years and try talking the song instead of signing. Over the years J.T. and other artist have done an injustice to their original versions. Sometimes the carbon-copies do it even better than the original live version.
I think it requires a lot of spirit and dedication to be able to play and sings as well as he does. Being a player myself, I understand the discipline that is required to be able to play like this. Besides, copying a song that you love only shows his admiration for the "original". You don't know this man or what motivates him so get a life.
Nasir! I have just commented to your Fire and Rain and thought it was fantastic. And you played this so well. Absolutely wonderful. I hope your life and future is a wonderful one too with lots of love and happiness. Well done!
this guy does an excellent job on playing the song and singing it, sounds just like james taylor, how does he do it so well, i can't even play that song on my guitar. i wonder if james taylor knows about that guy lol.
So far I have spent close to $100 and bought almost all tab books for james taylor just to get the tabs the way James taylor plays this song and all the books that I have do not have the exact tab notes or sequences the way you, fargenbastich or james taylor plays... I really need your help... It's getting to a point where I cannot sleep over this. Thanks very much in advance if you can help me get the right guitar tabs.
You Are The Best James Taylor Soundalike I've Ever Heard - You Should Seriously Consider Taking Up A Career As A Tribute Artist - All Of Your Video's Are Truly Superb, Well Done!!!
I'm trying to learn this song as a new guitar player. Where did you learn the chord progressions? And what are your finger picking patterns??You did a great job.
Wow. Superexcellent. I've heard a lot of great JT covers and yours is up there with the best (others have been in live performance). What's great about this is it's a live take. Your dynamics on vocals and guitar are great and everything was spot on.
I suspect that all too often the talentless make it big and the genuine singer musicians simply get on with the day job. Life isn't fair is it. Well done.
surperb song as usual, you are always a star in our eyes ;o) Thanks for the live performance this morning and a great weekend! Love to S, C, H, and N xxxx
Excellent! great voice too. My previous comment was from from my brother who showed me your vid! you've inspired me to go learn some non-instrumental songs, well done!!!
Nice job. Strangely enough, I also uploaded my rendition of this song just a few days ago as well. You've got a solid voice. How long have you been playing?
