[olegunit]

obi van))

[elpollo09]

This song is one of that songs that's one step foward. You nailed it

Greetings from argentina!

[orangejunk20]

Thanks a lot :)

[allthewaymusic]

your voice is pretty great!!!

[jerova]

i like this. i like that you posted it flaws and all =) and i just love your voice. this is very nice =)

[Mareterna]

i have been trying to find an effective way to play this song on the guitar, and i must say you NAILED it. Beautiful version! I was beginning to think this song could only be done justice if played on the piano, but you proved me wrong. Bravo!

[orangejunk20]

I think it's not perfect at all, I was out of rhythm here and there, but I tried it, yes ;) I remember, I didn't practice it very often before uploading the video. Joni's melody and phrasing was the hardest thing to do here. Thank you Mareterna!

[erinbolton]

wow i really like your voice.

smoooth

[p0nette]

beautiful :) i love Joni !!!

[maguicobain]

wow...pocas veces escucho algo tan hermoso como esto...muy lindo......... =)

[Lillemy1]

Great song and voice:)

Hilde

[orangejunk20]

thank u very much :)

[candlesflame]

your great at this. the voice is perfect for something like this

[orangejunk20]

thank you :)

[Engelsschatz]

Also ich persönlich liebe dieses Lied, finde generell hört sich es auf Klavier besser an, trotzdem, nicht schlecht!

[orangejunk20]

Ja, mein Gitarrenspiel war auch nicht sonderlich im Takt hehe.. ich finds auf Klavier auch sehr schön :) Danks,

Kris

[oldetavern]

You have a really soothing voice, nice job Kris.

[orangejunk20]

Thank you Mary :)

[Brandtstifter1]

Guter Joke die Gitarre nach dem Lied zu stimmen, aber die Stimmung war perfekt!

[orangejunk20]

Wie Joke? Ich bin mir nicht mehr ganz sicher, aber soweit ich mich entsinne, hab ich das Lied in einer anderen Tonlage als die originale gesungen.

Du meinst vermutlich dass ich aus einem ursprünglichen KlavierSong einen GitarrenSong gemacht hab? ;) Danke auch! Ciao,

Kris

[unebelette]

und wenn schon... joni mitchell hat auch immer offene stimmungen verwendet. joni's weird chords. sehr schön!

[jkilcull]

very difficult to pull off...you did it well...

one of my favorites...

[orangejunk20]

Thank you :-)

[ermeiofilosofo]

you look like EMO here lol

[orangejunk20]

hehe ;))

[EstebanChurches]

Original version of this song. Another great track on Joni Mitchell's "Blue" is "A Case Of You(ACOY)". Diana Krall did a version of ACOY but I don't like it. Glad to see you are a JM fan. I love her early work.

[orangejunk20]

Yeah me too. Her early songs had something special :)

Kris

[rah0wa]

keep the slow fingerish folk sound with ur goth voice is great together to bad you dont live in ussa i can make you famous with my arsenal of guitar meledies

[sistaspooky1013]

Great emotion. Your voice is the needle in my vain, especially with that sound.

You do seem a bit melancholic here tho, hope that was nothing. Nice song. 5*s to mi shinning star ;)

Cheers,

S

[orangejunk20]

thank you my precious sissy :)

[jimmymccombs]

GOOD SONG MAN JIMMY

[Fabjan2007]

[orangejunk20]

Thank YOU :-) I hope you had a good start in the new year 2oo8 :)

Kris

[Fabjan2007]

Yea. Happy new year Kris :-)

All the best for you in this year.

Btw i like this stereo effect.

[Akhail]

bloody hell man, i loved this one, very nice melody.

good job chris

[mcob1]

you picked a tough one. I never heard a man, ever, do justice to one of joni's songs and that includes csn's woodstock.

[orangejunk20]

Thanks mcob :) Yeah, the singing melodies of Joni are pretty hard to do. I tried my best to concentrate on the singing, therefore my picking wasn't the best ;)

Happy New Year! :-)

[mozartiikodesu]

[jesshalpert]

Wow! Nicely done! =) Your mike stand is very masculine....I like it. lol

[orangejunk20]

lol. absolutely! :D thanks =)

[lakewood78]

That was very good. Around Seattle, not far from my home, are parks with amphitheaters. I would enjoy spending a warm summer afternoon at one of these parks, having a picnic with someone special, listening to your music. Thanks for the videos.

[orangejunk20]

Thank you very much for your nice comment :)

Happy New Year!

[CelyaShadow]

*zuzwinker*

Kris

[Meg833]

Thank you Kris...you let me know this wonderful song I never heard before, and your version has some kind of magic...

[orangejunk20]

If you don't know her, check out Joni Mitchell. She wrote great songs back then :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR :-)

Kris

[Meg833]

Yes, I knew Joni Mitchell but not this song that is really beautiful!Happy New Year!!

[classican]

Great cover my friend.

I like your improvisational skills with your mic stands lol. Good stuff.

[pinknblues1]

Great song well done! Get over to 'Dixies' (ps how do you record sound is very very good)

[onlineangel100]

Hi there!! Lovely rendition of this song...the blue stripes suit you!! ;)

[orangejunk20]

Oh :) thank you gentle lady ~ I am pleased :)

[aleishar]

Nice finger plucking. :) Really beautifully done Kris. Waiting for take 2. ;-) Aleisha

[orangejunk20]

Oh, my finger picking wasn't that good here :D because I concentrated more on the singing. Joni Mitchell's songs usually are very hard to sing, her songs were very melodic :o)

Happy new year Aleisha! :)

Kris

[aleishar]

I see. :)

Happy New Year Kris.

Aleesh

[GratefulJWB]

Thanks so much, Kris. Very nice!

[dndn1011]

Kris

[MsMadeleine]

Oh gosh, this brought tears to my eyes! You have an extraordinary sincerity and frankness in your interpretation of this song, mindblowing! You sing like it's no tomorrow, and it's simply beautiful :)

[orangejunk20]

Wow, your comments so often melt my heart. Thank you for having a heart of wax now (?!:D)

HAPPY NEW YEAR :-)

Kris

[Selbsvertandlichkeit]

[orangejunk20]

[Cameragirl803]

Pretty daring of you to do such a Joni Mitchell piano song on guitar Kris. But you actually pulled it off! so five stars for you 5*****Jane

[orangejunk20]

Yeah, I listened out the chords myself and gave it a try. My finger picking wasn't good by any means but oh well :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR :-)

Kris

[dancegypsy]

I thought it sounded great!
