[collingwood5599]

shit mate your agood muso but a singing teachers nightmare get some lessons bro

[bikedudedavid]

awesome!

[WallEJBBurninup]

This song makes me (a green eye girl) wish I had brown eyes!

[winstonian88]

I think he should just sing it in his own voice.

[karlosman666]

what? he's singing with his own voice :D

unless there's playback which it obviously isn't... :P

[winstonian88]

He sounds nothing like this when he sings his owns songs. Just an opinion.

[MsShannaK]

ooh i love howie he's awesome

[LightBulb756]

his guitar playing good :)

[b3njamin0912]

This fucking stupid idiot fuckin sucks.

[trippingjuneband]

lol... now i'm gonna put up a version of me singing this stupid song!

[groenea]

Sounds great TJband. if it's half as good as this then i'll watch'n listen

[KiefOnMyLeaf]

For that part at 1:14 he's playing -

C D  G Em

C D G D7

And then he's goes back to the regular progression of G C G D

[ew1075]

Anyone figured out the progression at 1:14 yet? I've watched over and over and can't see what he's playing (I'm not talking about the basic chords of the song, he's throwing something custom in there).

[KiefOnMyLeaf]

C D G Em

C D G D7

[ew1075]

Thanks for the reply Kief but he is not playing C D G Em at 1:14. Those are the regular chords for the song.

He is moving down the neck to the 3rd or 4th fret doing some variation before he goes into the Em.

[trippingjuneband]

just a tip for figuring out songs... use your ears, not your eyes.

He is sliding his G position up a whole step so he can add the A note played in the original signature guitar riff. Then he goes right back down to the G... then Em

understand yet?

[ew1075]

Yes, now that you mention it, it does look like he is just sliding the G up.

Thanks for pointing that out. Looked more complicated than that at first. And thanks for the tip :)

[trippingjuneband]

No problem.

He's not doing anything complicated there.

Let me know if you have any other musical questions.

[xInvisibleTears]

Magnificant. :D

[saplingg]

butchered the song

[zacharyberry]

notice he said "this is my impression of van morrison doing an impression of me"

[rocky1399]

[xxkenxx]

G - C - G - D

basically.

[rocky1399]

no the part that starts a 1:14

[xxkenxx]

[saplingg]

C - D

[rocky1399]

[babiescrybiatch]

Beginning on the word "girl" the progression goes G - Em - C - D

[mykosCOOL77]

Awesome, you did a great job

[mynameplus5]

brown eyed manitee??

[BissNiss411]

I love Howie Day and I love this song! Amazing! :D

[wilkieway94]

i love it but it sounds like hes trying to hard to sound like the original

[killtango]

maybe you should get your hearing checked?

[wilkieway94]

okay i think that came out wrong.. howies my favorite artist of all time he sounds just like van morrison in this.. in the beginning he says its "my impression of van morrison doing an impression of me" my hearings fine but thank you very much for your concern ;)

[killtango]

In this case your first comment makes no sense at all. You say "He's trying way to hard." It's an impression so obviously he wouldn't sound like himself.

[wilkieway94]

do you not have a life other than starting arguments with people over the internet?

[wilkieway94]

and on top of that.. "In this case your first comment makes no sense at all.", because in YOUR first comment you're disagreeing with me, and in your second comment you're saying he wouldn't sound like himself, which is what I said in the first place... feeling hypocritical are we?

[lola1661]

wow cant everyone just listen to the song and hold off the arguing??

[classrockin]

One of the best solo accoustic covers that I have ever heard. I enjoy cranking this video up and play along on the bass. Great job Howie

[darthcheese100]

OMG that was amzing

[nm47]

is that actually howie day? i know it looks like him...but doesnt really sound like his voice lol

[StealthEMG]

Yep that's him. It's a soundboard mix as it states in the description.

[clckwrkornge]

this is one of the greatest covers I have ever seen great job

[1armdscissor]

That was a very good cover. Kudos to you.

[hunterechum]

[gamesboy11]

[Flyin2hawain]

[amsquare]

Not bad, young man. Your voice has character and you pulled off this cover nicely.

[jamescronk]

I have never seen that video. Thanks for the upload!
