from mexico: great performance , problaby one of the best version on the net congratulations

[iloveredsox7020]

This is great. You did an amazing job on this song. Your vocals, the guitar.. everything was good. this is the best cove i have ever heard.. especially with only one guitar. wow. very very good. incredible.

[MarioJMiranda]

Your work on this song is superb! It was an inspiration for me to try playing the intro solo using more than 2 strings after 3 decades of playing this song. A couple of suggestions: at 0:50, try to play E on the first string (you are playing F); it gives the song a flavor a bit closer to the original one. Also, at 1:14, try using the chord EADGBE = 244200 (I'm not a musician, so I don't know the chord's name); it's the chord used by Dewey Bunnell on the video at Musikladen. Cheers!

[Rulitop]

Good guitar, even good singing, but you need to put "cover" in the title or it gets a thumbs down.

[gibsg62]

@bobviously  a little ego in us all...

[glenjamz]

[tbrusky61]

You play that intro like a pro! I'd like to learn how to do it your way.

Great cover! Have you tabbed this out? I would love to learn how to play like this.

[Buibuilo]

Awesome cover, man. Wish I could play like that.

Really good cover. Great skill and excellent voice. Can't see your right hand though, do you play with a plectrum?

[mikelauducci]

this dude is awesome...

[wydawake]

What a gr8 Version of this song that you did. Your solo guitar playing covered every important aspect of the song,which the band did with 3 guitars. Your tempo of the song is just perfect, your vocals/singing sweet.

IMO your version of this song is one of the best that I've seen/heard on youtube/live.

[181freedom]

wow this is got be the best cover ive seen yet ! good finger picking too ! :) keep it up!

[TheBasstard1]

Damn, dude - best version I've heard. PLEASE show us the chords - I can't figure it out, not the way you're playing it, and that's the way I want to play it. Help a brother out...

[bullseye527]

so u may notice here in you tube in any american music pilipino guys has its own guitar rendition posted.

[bullseye527]

coz filipinos love american music...every street every corner in the philippines bunch of guys hold one guitar sings together 60s 70s 80s american music..

[dongmo1]

Nice rendition! Love the song!

[eoriol1955]

I remember while i was in the navy visiting the phillipines;Olongapo to be exact.Every building on the strip was a club and the phillipinos knew how to jam.I be walking outside the club and I swear that I was hearing an original american band or the recording..Low and behold,i walk inside the club and it's a phillipino singing his ass off.Some of them couldn't speak a word of english but could sing the song word for word wihout an accent...Those were the days my friend..Hey my man,.Great job.

[Jersty]

You kept the pace very well. Really nice rendition. Very enjoyable.

[briantfenton]

god, bro....this is soooooo great.....i was born in 1970 and am a guitarist now.....they don't write songs like this anymore......peace......Brian.­.....

[1969pontiac1]

Loved this, I grew up with this band. You did a wonderful job. I have my 8 track from America. One of the best bands ever to come around. Thanks for sharing.

[bkavery]

Have been listening to America since 1972. You are a really great singer & guitarist. You'd aught to get in contact with Gerry Beckley or Dewey.....I'd bet they'd feel complimented

[fmiller747]

>Gerry...or Dewey...they'd feel complimented

I bet they'd feel a little nervous!

[GymFloozie]

No shit. I wish this guy was my boyfriend. Or guitar teacher. Either way.

[walem1983]

Grandeeeee!!!

[joendeb640]

Not an easy song to do, but you nailed it. Just found you and subscribed. Love all your posts.

[genius2005]

Good Job!

The chord progressions in these songs from the 70's are simply amazing!

I don't know how you can top these popular songs of the 70's.

[julztrix]

enjoyed!! thank you

[evewrites3]

Congrats on your nice cover. You nailed it. Love both the playing and singing.

[y2k3man]

Wow I've been watching you for a bit now and I wish you well...if you're in DC I hope you let us know!

[40sSonggirl]

Pure, natural, talent! Great stuff all the way around. Thanks for sharing, you will go places.

[burltexan]

Young man- I have known many artists being related to the music business for 30 years and you could go very far with your talent.

[nevadas1]

I wish you the very very best! It's nice to hear someone that can bring back oldies with this talent. I surely hope someone of importance is watching. from a 1 - 10, I will give an 11!

[tmjjayr]

Hi a very nice song and i like the way you strum your guitar singing ventura highway. You have 1 fan here in the Philippines. Keep up the good work............

[eight6sevenfive3oh9]

Okay, I loved your Croce cover, and then I found your America cover. I'm subscribing now! You have pure talent and like awesome music.

[JOESGONNAKILLY0U]

[max3994]

freakin amzing , realy wish music like this could become famous again.....

[UrbanCOwBoy32]

i like how instead of strumming the hell out of a strum song. he focus on his really good voice.

[sanjak]

can't get enough of this!!!!!

[johnmaserati]

Excellent job!

[gravyman38]

You are very good, great voice and well played. Pleasure listening.

[Slappybag46]

[redoctane32]

Great Playing Man! It would be great if you made a video of how to play that.

[JLSTaylor]

Amazing rendition of this great classic, esp. your playing. Well done! :o)

[accordv6er]

best single guitar cover EVER!!!! dude, do you have a tab for this!!! nice voice too. soooo classic...

[richardd2063]

All the best

Richard

[ndhudecz]

Great Job!!

[tonytwotime]

pretty nice

[carenellen]

excellent !

[victoris07]

Bords, with this song I remember my uncle back in the Philippines. He's a good (for me he's great) in playing acoustic guitar and he play these kind of songs from Cat Steven's, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Eric Clapton and The Dawn. That's why I have this gut-feeling na you're pinoy and Bisaya just like me. Anyway I used to always sit with him and listen while he plays back in 80's. He's a amateur folk singer in our area back then and a DIgnified Tambay hehhehe

[shirah722]

oh man! love it! keep it up!

[nilofc]

One Guitar does the 3 original guitar. Just Fantastic!

[guitadrenalina]

fantastic! well done e great voice!

[crucialconflict02]

you did good.

[incyoubus11]

righteous...

[ZipRocks]

Home Run! 'nuff said. Thanks.

[1bassman9]

You captured the soul of the original song with one voice and one guitar. Bravo !!!

[unwoundreamr]

Great - would you do a tutorial version of this? Love to learn it!

[0denada0]

Really great to do this in your one, it's not so easy. I'm trying to do this also.

[atzengruber]

No wonder no tabs were used, 'cause guys like you simply don't need any .Guitar playing like that can't be learned ! You are a natural born talent and this song brings back memories from long forgotten days "when the days were longer and the nights were stronger...". Thank you.

[kesheth180]

you should tab this out. you could sell coppies of the tab to make it more worth your wile, i know i would buy a copy of the tabs if i could

[bball3118]

good job brother

[etched76]

This song is a classic that holds a lot of memories for me. You do a great  job with it!!!!

[reddx45]

you have to tell us guitar players what fingerings you used for this!! i find it impossible to play ventura highway without the original number of guitars involved. (3)

[1beartogo2]

what happen to his head

[reeltrouble]

Not only do you play this really nice but you actually have good vocals.

[roopboy55]

As good a cover as you will find on utube. What a talent.

[spords]

Most professional voice work I've heard on utube. Absolutely magnificent.

[dennello]

Chewin'on piece of grass...I think you may have been born too late! You bring the '70's back in a unique way! Thanks!

[jakoditi]

ben jij dezelfde kerel als daarjuist ( have too say I love you ...), prachtig... zelfde keuze van muziek en i-doolen

[peepok23]

best ventura hway cover!!!

[tenniseeum]

OMG. I can actually sing along with this perfectly. Like, we have the same voice practically. Ok, yours is better, but I loved singing the live version and then finding this. NICE voice and BEAUTIFUL playing. Like a pro

[FiremanOly]

check out my vocals on this tune with your playing and my vocals we could start an America tribute band! LOL. Great playing! and very pleasant voice too. Seriously dude Check out my version. you'll like it.

[Garanon5]

this is great, you should show us exactly how to play it

[FitoUchiha]

ur awsome

[BeeperLover]

GREAT cover!!! i like this one better than any of the others on utoob!

[adumdickey]

Great cover. I like the harmonized parts you picked out.  I recorded my own version of this years ago on a Tascam 8-track recorder, laying down each part individually but it sounds so much nicer when done the way you've done it. Thumb's up!

[NastyNatey]

very nice performance! I saw America play this song on a tv show with 2 guitars..you do it with one!

[zhangNA5705]

he is asian?

[marsdrifter]

yeah,i think he's a chinese!lol
