Dude you killed it seriously. Like me its perhaps one of my favourite songs of all time. The lyrics are too sick and the music...wow. You do it more than justice - especially loved the whistling near the end, guitar sounds nice and your voice killed it too. Well done, and cheers for starting a boring morning at work off on a good note. (geddit - note ;) )
I consider it a honor to be able to comment on this. First let me say two things. 1. I wasn't even logged in when I came across ur video, I actually stopped and went to sign in, just so I could comment. 2. I see so much, and I'm just not one of these people who comment on youtube; to be honest I can't remember if I have ever. So I hope points 1 & 2 add weight to following comment. Outstanding performance! There r people that can sing, but u can sing and ur talented. GREAT JOB & GOOD SELECTION!
@critical256 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!.....on the real....that's one of the nicest comments I've ever received.....and I always appreciate the encouragement......I'm only on here because I want to move people......and if I can manage that at least once a day, i'm one happy dude......peace,,,,,,
The harmonies sounded good, and the whistling was a nice little addition. haha
Good job.
The only criticism I would have is that you're voice isn't as fluid as it could be, at least not in my opinion. I think if you sang more fluidly, it would sound even better than it already does.
duuude.. this is the sickest. Did it very very well. I don't know why i didn't think of this song myself. I do a cover of Africa and was searching on the tube to see if someone else does it and this is what I found. Very glad I did. good work man.
I told my homie I wanted to learn this on the guitar. He said 'there's some dude on YouTube doing it, he's good too.' So here I am, watching you nail this shit. Well done bro, well done.
Dude you just ripped that shit to pieces. Awesome job, no complaints at all. You got the harmonies and extra guitar down perfectly. SO MUCH SOUL in this dude. And cause it seems a little slowed down it grooves even harder.
Thanks for showing color has nothin to do with it my man. 5 out of 5 for sure.
Hey man, would you mind tellin me how you're tuned or how you play this? Normally I HATE when people ask for tabs but honestly, I don't really play a lot of acoustic and I've been sittin here tryin to figure it out and I can't get it. None of my notes sound like they're anywhere close to tuned right. Help me out a little?
This is my favorite song by my favorite artist. When I first watched, I thought to myself "ugh, this is going to be brutal. No way this white dude has enough soul to do justice to a D'Angelo song.". Thank for proving me wrong.
Fantastic cover. I think I've watched it 20 times in the last 3 weeks.
I know rob webb and he says you're moving here soon... My name Johnlee and when I meet you I'm going to pledge my undying alligence to you! lol but seriously you fucking rock! This is one of my favorite songs from my favorite album of all time... the three of us need to get together and make some music if your down for it... either way, great fucking job dude
i must say... i was pleasantly surprised. that is one of my favorite songs and you executed beautifully. i wish i could play the guitar like that... that was great
you got soul. i used to harmonize this song all the time. It always seem to help me get thru tough moments. Keep doing your thang. If you ever need a back up vocalist ...get at me... I write neo-soul as well.
on 3:10 you said ah~ to come to the main part, i wanted to hear more something to bring out, your voice can go higher and storonger. you repeat the main part all the same, but i know you can arrange more, though, shit was tight!!!!!! thank YOU!!!
Awesome, awesome stuff. D'angelo has always been one of my favs and we need more covers/lessons. I would love to learn this on guitar. You have the chords by any chance?
yo man! you killed it! great job. i just tried to cover this song (peep my video) but i'm new to guitar and im strugglin with the guitar parts. where did you find the progressions? i just made mine up, and im not happy with them.
Hey man. ima big D'Angelo fan my self and a big fan of sould music and you did and excellent jo on this cover.I'm sure D'Angelo would agree with me. I also like ur cover of Hall&Oates " Sarah Smile". keep up da good work mane !
yo, i'm feeling this, great job man. anyone who truly gets his music is blessed for life. this one is my fav on voodoo, the emotion, power, and pain is unmatched.
So impressive....and you've moved me thxu

G and F#7 again at the turnaround, then back to A maj. for the main groove.......
