[elmorenazo5]

This is smooth man. You're are not just playing the chords, but you're putting some soul and your own flavor in it. More power to you man!!!

[bcop34009]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[ironman4ironman]

I'm overwhelmed, I would love to listen to you around a camp fire live, awesome man just awesome!

[usbzoso]

awesome bro!

[KingofSlugs]

Brilliant!!!! the best cover ive heard of this

goooooooood job!

[swivelsticks]

I love the sound of that guitar. Great cover. Thanks for sharing.

[kmknight0409]

how do you play that little part at the beginning? incredible cover by the way

[ianthomasmusic]

Thanks! I just took the little horn melody in Ray's version and played it on guitar in octaves. So... the first note is an F in octaves at the 8th fret of the A string and the 10th fret of the G string, then move the octaves up two frets (same strings) to a G in octaves, then Bb's on the 6th fret of the D string and 11th fret of the B string. Then you just come back down to the first two notes in reverse (G then F octaves). Hope that helps :)

[learntodostuff]

you kind of look like the lead singer of

Supertramp.

[roylad87]

well done man!! you played and sang it well!!

[notblad]

this is awesome!! you are so good at the guitar. and the singing - wow!

[zain832]

i dont lie when i say thats the best cover i've ever heard for any single song. many many fucking props, dude :D

[ianthomasmusic]

WOW!  Thank you! That's a hell of a compliment :)

[aleeo87]

will you marry me?

[bareteeth]

Glad to hear someone just being themselves on a cover of a killer song.

[BlakeSchneider]

Great job man, I enjoyed that.

[DigableDevil]

sounds good, I like C E7 Am & F too it's good.

if you want to be like ray you have to rasp out a little more and articulate less ha ha. he's got that 2 captain coke voice where the sugar fux with your throat.

nice work

[uohon]

what a great voice!!

coud you say the chords you use?

[ianthomasmusic]

Sure! The verse is Bb, F, Gm, Eb

The chorus is Bb, D7, Gm, F7sus

The bridge is Gm, Dm7, Gm, Dm7, Eb, Bb, Eb, F7sus

And I'm using all barre chords as opposed to open chords. The Bb is the barre chord at the 6th fret the F chord is the barre at the 8th fret of the a string etc.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

[uohon]

Thanks!!

[korkeycat]

[dinosierrarawr]

This is the best cover of this song that I've seen. It made me do a little dance. Haha. You are great at the guitar. I love how you incorporated the band part into the guitar. No one else has done that. Well done man. Well done.
