Las Vegas Turnaround Hall & Oates Cover

[auntoni51]

Larry....You know what i see when i come here?...Yes, it is a good song...But this is one, like so many of yours, that shows one thing...There are people that have a nice voice and people that can play a guitar well...And when they cover a song, such as this, it is pleasent...But, when you do a song, original or cover, it's much more than that...The sounds of your voice and playing are genuinely superb in every way....You so deserve the name MUSICMAN:)...ione marie

Nice one my man and nice job balancing that plant pot on the fence.

[mortalgroove]

Anyway you would want to do this again with the camera on the frets? :D

[mortalgroove]

Oh my, that was great! Thank you, great guitar and vocals.

[teddymademesomesoup1]

well done

[Sunrise614]

Great Performance!!!!

[fredechar812]

I would love to figure out how to play this song. How did you figure out these chords?

[boo66]

@fredechar812 He's playing in D. First chord is Dmajor7th. It's mostly in key from there.. it does what chord sequences do.. - not too many surprises!! (DMAJ7, F#m, Bm, F#m should set you off if you can't work out the first few...)

In the chorus the bass line (and chords) just go down and up bits of the the D major scale, but listen out for the odd chord that breaks out of key (accidentals)

Hope that's useful!

Beautifully played by the way Podline66!!!!

[davisdwahlman]

This song was written by John Oates...

[imdanhoover]

very cool..

[joblini]

WOW You really nailed it! Excellent!

[1mrbuddyboy]

Hey Larry;

Start up that grill, I'll bring a couple of bottles of wine(and whatever you want to drink) and my guitar. We'll jam all afternoon on that fine looking deck. I have been listening to this song for 35 years. A Hall and Oates fan from the git go

[lorendb64]

hey I am becoming one of your fans lol pretty good

[omgaud]

Good job dude! You have the TAB for this?

[buttbitches]

my favorite hall & oates song too!! I can' listen to this song over and over and I'm not even named Sara. Your version is way excellente!! Nice job.

[stavro9]

please teach me this on guitar so I can play it for my Sarah!!

[TeamEvan00]

Would love to see you cover Rich Girl, Sara Smile, She's Gone....or Say it isn't So...all by Hall and Oates.....

[irenegade]

Great cover, thanks! Discovered you from "Feeling Young". I was looking for Your Neil Young covers but didn't find them!

My college buddy died this past November. His big brother used to sing with Hall & Oates on Philly street corners. My buddy and I used to stumble after closing the bars singing "Sara Smile", and lots of R&B and Rock. My viewing of your vid is my tribute to Chuck and I'm singing along!

[auntoni51]

Larry....Embarrassed to admit this is the first time hearing this song...but pleased that my ears are hearing your voice doing it:)....you look so at ease singing...beautiful scenery and your smile....makes for an enjoyed day......ione marie

[Barbz46]

I wish I was your neighbor..Seems like when you play outdoors you have a free spirit about you and I love to see you smile..but you are always fantastic..thanks for another wonderful song

[tdal007]

Great as usual. Can you comment on your recording set up. Mike .. Brand .. Video/Webcam. ( I know these are you trade secrets)

Also what brand guitar strings and while your at it .. guitar brand. Not that I am trying to copy everything but I need to upgrade. With in reason. I am starting out with a $29 webcam so moving up will be a relative big jump... what would you suggest.

[LieutenantUhura]

Dunno about the strings, but our hero here has a nice collection of really good guitars.

That mike is a Audio Technica AT822 stereo microphone, battery powered (model is discontinued, I believe its successor uses 48V phantom power). The mike's hooked up to a fine HD camera.

But if you really want to move up your equipment, you should buy an iMac or MacBook. Comes with iMovie and Garageband. And that's all you need.

[tdal007]

thanks I will look into it. I always wanted a MAC.

[LoveMusic720]

Love this! Beautiful setting. Bet your neighbors love it, too. Used to have a teenage boy next door who would have his buddies over to jam on acoustic guitars and sing, on the deck. I would open my windows and enjoy the free concerts. :-)

Great that you are smiling again. Wonderful video. :-)

[Delmarcan]

Nice job!

For your loyal fans (at the very least) could you let them observe your left hand in your guitar videos.

[LornaCole]

I love the song and also how you're changing locations lately. Bit by bit, we're getting to know your place :-)

[podline66]

Thanks. Funny, I'm getting to know my place too..

[LieutenantUhura]

I'm getting hungry looking at that barbecue!

[LornaCole]

I think we could call it "At Larry's Home Tour 2009" :-D

[CheckJackWolf]

why can´t I be the neighbor of Larry, so I could have always a little ditty ´round me?

[GlenAnne99]

Nice to see you smiling :)

I love the way you sing this song...really great!

[PCSongman]

Larry: How funny! I just purchased the Hall & Oates LP Abandoned Luncheonette, their first, as a CD last week. You've done an excellent job on this tune from that LP. How about When The Morning Comes?

[Mr96tears]

Sara should feel lucky. She had 2 songs written about her that I know of...this one and of course, "Sara Smile."

[debbieomi]

Finally, it shows back up!

I'm not familiar with this song from H&O but I'm sure I'll get quite aquainted with it now that you've posted it. :)

One on One is my fave from them.

[mnnorthcountrygirl1]

Love it when you take these songs and strip them down, Larry. Deceptively simple, decidedly captivating.
