Todd Rundgren The Last Ride Cover (1st attempt)

[thedarkmongrel]

Wow, came here from trying to find furby videos and instead found a beautiful cover.

Wow. I'm not as familiar with Rundgren as I probably should be but that was superb. Like my friend Joe who got me into the Beach Boys and Wilson, you've just made me interested in TR. Really nice song and superb musicianship.

Straight from the Heart & that's what is important - great voice too - !

[amyellensilver]

Really nice version. Don't let anyone tell you that you didn't pull it off. Love the organ fills!

I found it while trying to figure out this song on the keyboards as well. I am really struggling with the turnaround he does right before the Fm section. I know he is doing hybrid chords, but just can't quite get there. Please share. Also, if you have not checked out the version on Darryl's House web broadcast from last year, look it up. It was shot at Todd's house in HI.

@amyellensilver Hey thanks for that! I wish i could help with the chords but I have no idea what i'm doing, I dont know F from A lol I may just post a tutorial showing what my hands are doing if that would help? Todd is a tricky fish when it comes to chord structure, nearly on par with Steely Dan chords.

@amyellensilver BTW I saw the live session at Darryl's house and when The Last Ride came on I actually cried at how amazing it sounded, yep just something magical about that performance!

All you need is a little practice and fine tuning. Your voice is sounding bluesy and soulful.It is great to hear your range. I think you can sing anything you want. You have the chops to pull it off and you're doing great. One of the things that I specialized in singing was blues and r&b. I am sure you know Todd has a deep love for all of that. Keep up up the good work:)

I didn't see this before Josh. I LOVE your voice!! Great rendition of this song. I think Todd would be proud.

[angie4josh]

@livibutterfly Hey thanks for that! I still need heaps of practice and its a bit off but I like it :)

[JoshKoen]

This is gorgeous my friend. Keep it up man!

[MyDreamGoesOn]

[zscheuch]

I think If you Played like that but than sang like the dude from Bl'ast that would be something epic that hasn't been dun but should be. Like the Screamers.
