Crystal Blue Persuasion Tommy James Cover

[GHB769]

does anyone have the tabs for the intro?

[PICKNGRIN000]

Got the song! Always wanted that one but never quite got it by ear..I can see enough that my ears filled in the rest...Thanks mate, nice chords!

[GreenwallsFoundation]

Nice. Just good stuff in this channel. Thanks for sharing...

[PICKNGRIN000]

Thanks, always wondered what these chords were..like the vocal doubling! I use an Ovation 1861 Baladeer often. I see you like to use the thumb a lot! I do it too but I've never been comfortable.

keep posting

[digitalaqua]

Enjoy all your music,keep them coming for your fans Larry!

[lakeladymel]

I am watching some of your older videos today and enjoying them so much. Great stuff, Larry !

*mel*

[ljmarAtHome]

Did I post before? Yea, THANK YOU FOR THE DOWNLOAD.  The sweetness to my heart is almost back.

[ferganzo1]

Your interpretations really capture the essence of that great era.

I'm not sure what impresses me the most: your voice, your musicianship, or your guitar collection. I'm envious of all three. Thank you.

[pmcmusik]

I love this song so much.....great guitar....what are the chords please...

[kurt666morris]

Excellent. You should be the opening act to 1 of the great bands from the 60s and 70s or the bands of today. I didnt think you could equal "Some Day" but you did with this song.

[webbnolen]

Larry...great tribute to one of Rock's Legends, Tommy James. I think T-J would be very pleased with your cover. Awsome! Chuck Nolen.

[auntoni51]

Larry......I ABSOLUTELY Love the sound of your voice and playing guitar here....That voice is the sweetest smoothest sound.....And, just like your Rainy Jane, this is another piece that shows you just love music and playing as much as we love hearing it....After all, you are the MUSICMAN:)!!..ione marie

[eands2010]

this is absolutely amazing....brings back memories

[mikosandejas]

youre good!

[motownredux]

My favourite summer song! And Larry? You are a star!! Many thanks for this and all the other videos you've posted. I hope you know we appreciate them.

[UpYoursBeliebers]

Extremely nice. Favorite.

[davematter]

Like your music.

[nelsonfan24]

LOVE, LOVE LOVE it. I'm posting this one on my Facebook page. You are an incredible guitar player. I know all my friends born in the 60's and 70's will love it, too.

[UT92862]

Great cover Great Song..its frustrating that your left hand keeps going out of frame...im trying to pick up the chord changes.. Thank You.

[rfischer3ful]

youre awesome

[BeenAroundMyTown]

this guy's a goldmine for stealing great songs and licks. Thanks man.

Oh wow you nailed this one. Smooth.

[dmanbass]

Very, very good. Your just like the stars and the pro's. Your good, your in tune, your playing with heart and soul. Your very, very good what can I say? PS, I nicked all your fingerings for myself and will try to impress someone with this song. Thanks -)

Love it so much,keep up the good work sir(:

[omniguard1]

This is one of your best. :~)

[ljmarAtHome]

This is the song Tommy should have sung in the 70's. I have found that people come into their own and are who they were meant to be in their 60's. Perhaps I'm wrong, but anyways, this is my thought and thanks...

[ljmarAtHome]

There he is today....and I like him so much better. The past makes a better present.

[multimediadude]

you NAILED it, great job

[bigtexfirefight]

How can I get in touch with you? I just recorded an album with 2 hall of fame members from the state of Georgia. I would love to send you a copy to hear your critique.

You my man are awsome!!!

[Eelke1958]

Great cover!

I would like to play it. Can you tell me which tuning you are using?

[matrox]

Thats great Tommy! I thought you died in a plane crash or something.

[megajeeplover]

[jaakriaj]

Very... very good, man... go ahead!

[rufus317]

Great job! I'm 28 years old but as many tell me I have an old soul but I definitely have a good ear for music. Tommy James would be proud if he heard this.

[bjeanche]

I like your thought of "flights of fancy". Long ago summer days, the wind blowing my hair, and the heat making a mirage at the horizon, and this song playing. Doesn't get any better than that!

[mattsabby]

Oh I would have LOVED to have been there with you playing the bass part or the acoustic lead. Bass player for 30 years and that has always been one of my favorite songs. Well done Larry.

[barblbill]

OMG!!!! I love your version better than the original!! THANK YOU!!!

[bookmistress4ever]

Very nice Larry.  I've been listening to Tommy James sing this (on youtube) alot lately. Such a pretty and positive message that many songs fail to capture. Love this song.

Thanks for doing it.

You've done it justice. Beautiful! (Nice scenery too - Love the "Larry outdoors" setting.)

[whatismyusername123]

simply put.......NICE!

[dllewiszz]

Whatever the meaning, it transports me back to 1969. But wait - that's where I spend most of my waking hours. Fine job, Larry.

[gatorsfan367]

Larry, great job. I was born in 1967, and my mom told me stories of me at the age of 3 or 4 going around singing this song. Tommy James was and still is one of my favs, thanks for bringing back some good memories of my mom and for doing an awsome job with the song

[auntoni51]

Larry.....what do i see?.well yes the sun is rising definately and yes its a beautiful day....but i also see my friend enjoying the day doing what he loves to do and doing so well(freakin incredible harmonies) and i also see the irony in the song title....You are so persuasive with your music...i dont know if you realize just what a gift you have.......have a great day............ione marie

[Jazzguitman]

Great cover ! How about some "King's Harvest"...you know the one......

[auntoni51]

my thoughts exactly:)!!!!!!!!
