  • Excellent cover ! Congrats ! Phalaïna

  • Nicely done and really accurate. I'm a child of the 70's so this is right in my wheelhouse.

  • Very nice!!  In the bridge I think you do Bm, Bm/A, Gmaj7 then I dont know, is that a Bm7, Bm7/A? Whatever it is, it sounds very close to perfect.

  • Great guitar cover. Voice Okay too. Thumbs up. Check out my bass cover of this tune

  • oh wow wundervoll super schön, toll gemacht, weiter so :)

  • One of the best covers of one of the all-time greatest acoustic songs....ever. Thanks, especially, for the close-in camera which showed me the parts I was missing in learning this song the right way. The guitar sounds spot-on to me. Nice job on the vocals too. I sometimes have to capo on the 5th to make those high notes a bit easier for me.

  • great cover

  • Very well done Mike. David Gates wrote this song the night his beloved father passed away.

  • Simply the Best.....

  • Sounds Like the Real Version ...Awsome!!

  • Lindo ...lindo ...lindo !!!

    Beijos!!

  • Dude I play myself that song and until now "my" version was the most "close" to the original, but watching you playing I changed my mind, YOUR version is the same as the real one.

    Dude that is a lot of work you have done!

    Very good!

    I gave up to find somebody that plays the same or better as I do and SINGS, just for playing harmonies (Bread, Seals & Crofts, Still, Cosby & Nash etc etc...) duets and stuff...

    I will post my "own" version of this song in to or three days, wait up.

    Javier, Brazil

  • wooooooh!! bravo!!

    excellent!!! =)

  • now the song makes me feel sad. it really hurts to lose a loved one that way.

    (after reading SurfStylee1's comment)

  • This song takes me back to my teenage years. I've always loved Bread and I also thought this was a love song. Just a different kind of love. Makes me think we should all call our parents and tell them we love them. Thank you for the beautiful song and the emotion you put into it.

  • nicee man

  • Greetings...Would like to take you up on any tab offers from other post. Noticed you haunt some BSA Reservations...how about those grades at Powatan and Ottari! Made noodles out of my flatlander legs...this ol' SM was challenged there! My speed was BSA Sea Base in FL!!!

  • terrific job... thanks for sharing:) 5 stars

  • Excellent ! You must be David's brother :)

  • FYI, from Wikipedia: "Although the song is frequently interpreted as a romantic love song, Gates actually wrote the song as a tribute to his late father."

  • Funny! I recorded this last night and had the same realization re: this being about a parent. Can't quite let the girlfriend idea go 100%, but i think it's significant that we both thought the same thing!

  • Amazing. .. . That was the best I've heard

  • Simply AMAZING man. NICE WORK

  • Fine job. The chords are much more complex than most people hear ..and you nailed them.

  • What are the Bridge chords?

  • great job, keep up the good work.

  • Great song and sound, whats the picking pattern please so i can have ago at playing it!!! Many Thanks Steve

  • learning song from your playing and wanted to thank you...your practice has paid off. thx

  • outstanding!!!!

  • u've got that same softness in ur voice that david gates had and a perfect performance that made me well up :')

  • I've just recently got back into guitar playing, love Gentle Giant, and on the softer side love to listen to David Gates playing & singing with an unabandedness and emotion that is just hard to find these days. Grew up listening to Bread and others. Your rendition sounds great and brings back fond memories. Thanks for sharing!

  • beautiful!

  • amazing one man! Greating from Brazil... have a nice 2009 full'o music!
