All Along The Watchtower - Dave Matthews Version

[eckaaat]

great version of a great song, very emotional and powerfull, thank you.

[LoulouWawa]

I thought your version was great!!! I have you under a favorite in my youtube file, and when you came on, I wondered if it was Dave in his younger days-you're so right on! Do you have other songs?

[Draymaya]

Omg. That was udderly amazing. I am a huge Dave Matthews fan, and in my opinion your cover is better than his version. Again, in my opinion. Kudos good sir, kudos.

[Sonnenblume1969]

Love this very nice cover ...

[tealabear]

Omg..im in love :) No lie I love your version the best! You have some fucking Talent!

[herbyjones1]

thats a perfect cover man, you should do a tutorial vid.

[MultiSamdani]

awesome voice dude keep rocking

[davematthews3331]

You are having a blast playin this song... love it! Keep rockin out however you damn well please, others are just jelous of your rockstar setup. Awesome voice too... i'm envious.

[dmbcoverband1]

last chord is an F not an Am... all that just to miss the last chord hahaha

[DaveandTimForever]

Holy shit, nice. Favorite Dave song. Favorite cover

[GilbeyMan]

That was fucking amazing!

[familymd93]

great cover in all aspects. keep up the good work.

[hypatience]

I like your version better than Dave's acoustic version--yep, I do!

[kdm1020]

gosh man, this is damn good. I really dig your voice. Almost operatic

[holycanoli67]

also sounds good if you change from bar chords to the actual Am G F, change it up a little bit, sounds great thought buddy!

[rapidfire001]

Man, this is excellent. Almost better than Dave. I am deeply impressed!!!!!

[GehennaSlumberParty]

Dude... Ok I'm going to say that I like this version better than Dave's acoustic version. Let the hate mail begin lol

[cancelnika]

its very good,nice cover

[dune0667]

excelent! you know, i see these posts of some people feeling they need to respond with critical statements that reach the level of hatelful comments. I just dont get why they get off on that. It must be some type of self serving critique to make them feel better about them selves.

[whobludaphot]

@dune0667 Thank you.....It doesnt bother me, i find it funny sometimes, cause the people that think they r critics never ever have a video up to back themselves up....so its pretty funny most of the time....thanks again for watching, people forget its just for fun

[brawler21us]

@dune0667

[frensch84]

@dune0667

Einfach nur geil...

Ihr seit einfsachn nur geil....!!

Gruss Frensch' Man



[dackemannen]

Very, very good. Sjukt bra! in pure swedish.

[zekester111]

great voice ,great job,,little different than mathews as h doesnt use as much bar cords but ,,really sound awsome,,,5 stars

[zekester111]

well i think it sounds great..but with all respect i watched many different versions ,dave mathews does change it a bit more..not that yooudont sound great,better than me i might add,,i did notice dave mathews switches up to regular cords top side of neck instead of all bar cords..either way great job ,sound great..

[MART0613]

Awesome!

[jblackburn22]

Don't sweat the haters. I mean its a three chord jam .. and you do exactly that.. JAM... looks like your having fun. and to me thats the whole point. Keep rockin' dude.

[steveobhave]

@jblackburn22 Entirely agree - it's a fantastic cover. Those that have an issue clearly have a jealousy thing going on.

[fatezztruth]

Great Job bro!

[I000II0I0I]

Well done!

As in typical YouTube fashion, Once I pay a compliment, I must swiftly follow by pointing out the errs of your ways. In your description, you wrote "What a awesome song...", but It should read, "What AN awesome song..." LOL j/k

Top Notch. I really enjoyed this!

[ussmemory]

You rock.

[Uareone2]

A very good watchtower cover! Wish I had half the talent..

[PHILIPRRR]

Amazing!

[somaplay]

nice job

[etidwell143]

Amazing!! Love it!!

[jjkmovies]

Totally awesome!

[phishyfood]

AMAZING <3

[wesselklooster]

you're frickin awesome!!!

[graybeast5]

great cover man!

[JxChez]

dude freakin awesome cover

[kaniajakub]

zajebiste. po prostu. MEGA. zajebiste..

[35brovo]

One more Question .I can't really figure out what your picking pattern is ,your just too smooth.

Thanks!

[35brovo]

Thanks for telling me the correct guitar tuning used ,when you record this. Super Job !!! Great talent !

[graybeast5]

Wow... maybe if you had eyes or a decent ear you could see that like piommi said its in standard.... so maybe you should do some research before you sound like an idiot while trying to be sarcastic.

[hiedi11]

Excelente!

[filmchild]

Dig it, brother! Nice work!

[9611CALL]

you have to play the last chord again fast before u go back to the G chord

[piommi]

smartass.....he plays it in an awesome way!

[35brovo]

Super playing .What key is your guitar tuned in

[piommi]

it's standard E tuning..chords being Am G F

[BLITZD98]

Awesome dude... I'm a big DMB fan and play guitar, so love your covers.

[dartehaga]

Great cover!!!!! Love it

[imamardybum]

love the guitar :-D

[COFbabe]

you did a great job

[taralea13]

nice work! this is really good, would you be able to tell me what your set up is there, you're the first person i've heard whose guitar actually has the same sound as dave's, i too play a taylor and use D'addario's (which i think he uses) but it's not quite the same, granted my taylor is only a 214. I heard a rumor about him using only the top 6 strings in a 7 string set? can you shed some light on the matter?

[whobludaphot]

I honestly dont know about that , i use elixier strings, and im going through a tube pre amp, thats pretty much it

[jackcarsley]

taylor is beautiful.

[HalfBillion]

i wouldn't be surprised to see this guy go places, his original songs are really good and he looks really comfortable.

[adrianthill22]

lol that wasn't bad. I love the Dave Matthews cover!

[Testes1717]

you try wayyyyy too hard haha

[DMB41TwoStep]

great cover dude. you have wayyyy too much money to afford that guitar haha

[jokimob]

what is with you being alone and all the smoke in the room. maybe find a friend or bandmate to help you out. all the echoing for both the guitar and voice is wayyyyyyy overdone but it makes your voice sound bigger, which i guess you need. not that your covers are bad but I like when people can just sit back with their guitar and be real not this overpolished crap. I just wonder what you would sound like without all the bells and whistles.

[whobludaphot]

no bells kid.....open ur ears not a thing on my voice but reverb....so save it thats for listening

[TheIndescribable]

Don't pay attention to that. This cover is amazing and you've got an amazing voice as well as superb rhythm guitar skills. The way you put all your emotion into both your playing and singing is almost unreal. Great job, man. I'm suscribing now and am looking forward to more quality covers from you (and your buddy Dan from NC) in the future!

[Gollyification]

Hell ya, that was awesome! I can only aspire to be half as good in the future.

[9611CALL]

dude if all you've got is reverb... then DRAMATICALLY! DECREASE the reverb. video it again without editing anything. itll be wayyyy better.

[41sticky]

agreed, but still great cover

[noah112234]

jokimob is gay.

[xZxZToddxZxZ]

Kind of agree.

Good, but still weird.

[schreibiharry]

Simply perfect!!! WELL DONE!!!! One new favorite of mine. Thanks

[ThankYouHenry]

with so many versions out there a new version is very nice....and you do it so well ..i really enjoyed it

[Feanorlike]

heavenly voice. clean guitar. perfect =P!

[xdmbfan2stepx]

kill myself

[jkl18yt]

like joyride said, solid work... clean guitar, good rhythm, on key for most part, but you lack any emotion for the lyrics. just sounds like a production album... this version feels best deep and close to the lyrics, that's what I feel your performance lacks.

[zeroenvy]

GREAT JOB MAN!

[kaniajakub]

masterpiece.. zajebiste wykonanie... pogratulować;))

śliczne wiosło;p

[struttinironhead]

Dude, The best version of that cover, I have ever heard. I had goose bumps listeing to it. Thanks.

[fuhrer0808]

Same here man

Nice work dude, very nice

[1Jisom]

Real cool, Love your version.. This song can be done so many ways..

[psuro]

Very well done.  Bravo.

[williheckaslike]

Brilliant version of this top song.... Well done

[blurredvision11]

That's studio quality... !

I'm learning to play it from Your cover !

[joyride40]

Soild work Man

[FatNation]

You've absolutely nailed it man. Well done. Your guitar sounds perfect too.

[mYeAGz55]

914ce's tend to...

[jonmcroy]

everything=INCORRECT!!!

[whobludaphot]

u = clueless.......Am G F not so hard my man....lol so everything=correct

[FatNation]

You're a fucking moron

[laxattack260]

dude whats with all the comments saying he's incorrect... i think someone is just jealous. There's three fucking chords in the song and he's playing them perfectly. This cover is right on.. Compared to this guy, your covers sound like child's play. You sound like a kid who hasnt gone through puberty yet.

[whitehartlane1882]

@jonmcroy How on earth do you play it then you twat.

[ItsAdMan]

Not that anyone on earth gives a shit about my or any of your opinions, there is no question in my mind that this poem has been given it's best ever incarnation by Dave Matthews.

I'd love to simply shake his hand and say, "Awesome job, dude!"

[happyfollow]

bob dylan is an absolute legend...the caretacker of the stars....

[LeSphinx2]

Man! That rocks!

[OkamiWave]

i like it, i just like bobs better

[JimmyHxc0506]

enorme la voix ..... awesome voice !!! i'm choking

[ilDandy]

splendid version, you're very talented man!

great voice and cool guitar style!

[rocky1399]

is this in standard tuning

[navyation]

yep standard tuning...look for dave matthew's tab of this.

[DusMrtnz15]

awsome version!! you held that one long note good(singing) Really good job singing and with the guitar.!!!

[nemosnets]

what kind of amp do u use???

[gnr302]

nice job man

[R3dWings13]

pretty good

really good recording what kind of guitar is that and do u have in an acoustic amp

[PowerShotHo24]

your good, but does anyone think that he his kinda creepy, seriously, he tries to act like dave, hes got the same guitar, same hair, same cloths, i wanna hear some of this guys OWN written songs, your good, but no one can do dave matthews.

[whobludaphot]

first off i got a hat on...lol I guess everyone with brown hair and who wear button down shirt and jeans all act like dave matthews...lol really tink before you write something u make urself sound stupid saying that and if u like there is a link to my myspace if u would like to hear my original music...thanks for watching

[definite01]

No doubt good guitar and vocal, super sound, but still....

[odenatorador]

what kind of reverb do you use on your mic? love your videos!!

[edhead5150]

OWNED!!!!!!

[Motabo1615]

There's so much to this song. Even though it's his song, I think Jimi still wanted time to work through it. I was looking for a different version of this song. You beat Dave. Thanks for posting.

[mnstube]

all along the wtchtower is bob dylan's i think . it is not jimi's song

[Lucidamy74]

say it again, so amazing, better then daves..one of your biggest fans....speechless.....wow, wish i was there, rock on brother!

[tybaltlives]

Hey rockstar:) Thanks for posting.. I love this song.. -Robin and Duncan

[ore033]

amazing!

[blackp0weran6er]

i was listenign to thiswhile doing my homework so i wasnt paying attention...so when tims solo didnt kick in i was like wtf?!? and then realized that this was you ...GOOD JOB MAN

[sonofprovence]

Head and shoulders above many of the best musicians who took up that challenge. Guitar, heart, guts, and soul. You got it all together. Thank you.

[grablifebytheballs]

Quality that mate. I do a cover of the dm version in my band but i cant sing it as well as u. Bravo

[hotshot232]

One of the best cover guys of Dave. This guy has a hell of a voice. Top notch bro. Keep on rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

[tattoedmama00]

this is awesome....i luv this song

[kawiscov]

Super nice..............!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[vecter]

Ridiculously hard song, great job!

[goneondatmidgrade]

Dude, i wanna come over and jam lol

[Banedarkwolf]

you know what I like about him doing covers of Dave. He doesn't try to copy him down to a T you know. He takes Daves style but twists it into his own with his own voice. Kudos to you mate. Keep doin' whatcha doin'!!

[Coldrhythm]

WOOOW ....Speechless!

[JaenVho]

AMAZING

[xxTWATTWAFFLExx]

oh, talyor. just kidding

[xxTWATTWAFFLExx]

dude, wat kindof guitar is that?

[Somuchtoplay]

Looks like a Taylor 914CE, tell me if I'm wrong, someone :)

[tbredblo]

you nailed the screams.

[definite01]

Super..

[papafirelin]

great job.. to my favs

[LeSphinx2]

Outstanding

[davidpapp]

Wow Man! really good voice! The acoustics are fricken awesome!

[Bearswin8584]

is that a taylor looks just like the one dave plays

[mwschmi]

i like it alot, i would like it more if you had a scratchy voice at times like dave haha but pretty damn good

[johnnydrama423]

Dude your playing in this song is probably equal to Dave's, and you have a better voice. This is the best cover I've heard in a long time. Very well done!!

[Crush1998]

imhop i cant say i agree entirely...playing yes whobludaphot is sickk...and a good voice he does have but i wouldnt compare the voice to dave's..that rugged voice makes it aweesome for me

[Nikkie486]

I was totally not expecting that....Wow.

[renninger75]

bad ass

[muzikman1793]

Damn dude,amazing.

Love the guitar.

One question...are you in front of a green screen? lol

[ChippyBlane]

A very nice performance. I particularly liked your singing.

[gonzo085]

this was damn good man. you play chords a little differently, but none the less it sounds flawless. it took me a long time to get this song down, but this sounds awesome. amazing job dude

[shooidtap]

Wow, absolutely speechless.

This cover is insanely good!

I tried playing this song on guitar, and it really is hard to get down the right strumming technique, and let me say that you've nearly mastered it.

Plus the singing is absolutely astounding.

Kudos to you. Great job man, keep up the great work!

[the18thhours]

Pretty fucking good!

[dre2142]

I enjoy your covers, but Im not feeling this one.

[whobludaphot]

Thanks....but u dont have to comment on every single one....lol thanks

[nagarajanvarun]

From Dylan to Hendrix to U2 to DMB and now Joe Magurne.

Brilliant mate.

[vlado22]

awsome man, this song keeps getting better and better as decades and artists pass.

[simplecreativity]

Mate, I'm a die-hard DMB fan, and so please understand what it means to me to say, that was as close as I've EVER seen soeone getting to their performances of this song. I love this song, and you've done it justice far beyond what i expected going in. You're a great performer, and your other videos are just as fantastic. Keep up the amazing work!

Cheers.

[tbredblo]

keep it up man these are near perfection.

you should try you never know

[zygoose]

o

m

g

absolutely fantastic. wow im speechless.

[whobludaphot]

Thanks.....very much...I really do read all the comments and I just want to tank everyone who has been supportive and has enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed playing thank you thank you everyone........

[jblackburn22]

killer job dude.

[swilber08]

your playing it wrong, and i alreay ima get like 40000 thumbs down but i was just tryin to help not be a dick

[whobludaphot]

Wrong....have no clue what you are taking about.....but if u understood music there is no wrong way to play something!! the whole song is Am G F G not too hard

[PhishtankPhobia]

actully thats how Dylan plays it, your probally thinking of Jimi's version. Thats the one most people know.

[wawacom]

Dave Matthews plays it with AM G and F throughout.

[PhishtankPhobia]

thats my point

[capnkill]

If by wrong you mean "freaking fantastic!" then yeah, he is sucking it up big time.

[steveobhave]

Epic!!!! Stunning vocals and a fantastic version of DMs interpretation. That guitar is lush!

[SirGlobator]

really amazing, i can feel the passion and soul...

[DWareMhouseB]

hey bro... you're unbelievable. And thats because you aren't like most people who WANT TO BE DAVE and post videos on here to try and sound like him. You do, frankly but not trying to sound like a cocky douche, because thats not at all what I'm trying to get across... But you do the same thing I do. Take Dave's tunes and apply your own style and edge to it. And thats what being a musician is all about. Are you going to any DMB shows this summer?

[Scarr420]

Woot i love finding talented people on youtube, Very nicely done good guitar, singing, and passion!

[caitlinwooters]

your good

[DontPanicOk]

All good man, all good.

Nice guitar by the way.

[Bk3904]

you are crazy good i like this version of the song a lot

[GotRickRolled]

HOLY CRAP! Amazing bro...just amazing!  Amazing vocals, amazing playing....

[jarred5150]

i would sell my first born for that Taylor my friend.

[whobludaphot]

lol....Your first born must be a pain in the ass then...lol Well, there are no messes to clean up either...lol

[jarred5150]

haha... you rock man

[danknizzel]

right on dude......love the jam

[JaredB23]

Wow... Very nice vocals sir... I need more practice. ;) 5 stars

[ozsoymeh]

Great Job!!!!!

Congrats!

[suzieqt68]

Wow! This a great interpretation of this song!! Love it!! 5 stars!!

[LouddrummerO]

Excellent work! Fantastic vocals and playing! Great mix/post production, earned a sub 5/5! I do split screen collaborations on youtube! Check out my vids and let me know what you think!

[frickerj]

when did u get the 914? Im soo jealous. Well of that and your skills.

[whobludaphot]

in 2000, and thank you

[tHeinzManty]

great guitar and an outstanding voice! love the high note hold at 2:45. keep going at it!

[dmbkdr]

good man, u like playin those power cords i can tell, a request of playing "Minarets" maybe?

[whobludaphot]

they are easier to mute...lol Sure maybe I'll put that up, i got to refresh myself on it though
