  • Nice job man! Check out my version with my loop station!

  • Just follow the channel name :)

  • Cool man. You've got a great voice. As far as the guitar goes...perfection is way over-rated!

  • You remind me of my uncle cause you look like him and he could play guitar :).

    I'm learning to play guitar so I hope I can learn to play this song aswell.

  • Not bad. Im really jealous of this studio. It looks chill.

  • I love this! Where did you find the tabs?

  • if i grow a beard can i cover his songs too?

  • i think you did well on the guitar, though some of the single notes should be a little stronger between the slide. also, i just feel like your voice is a little flat in some parts. but you did really well!

  • Well done! I really enjoyed this, the B string might be a little strident but I think it adds it's own style to it along with you vocals, good job!

  • yeah shame about that b string. good voice though, like it.

  • probably best cover of this song ive seen so far.

  • Wow... great job! I'm learning this song myself... it's definitely challenging. I love how you added your own little bit to the song. It truly sounds great!

  • im a intermediate guitar player and this was my first finger plucking song i learned lots of fun to play but is a little challenging until u hear the parts and it all comes together

  • i like your version. it's different. and you have a kickass beard : )

    watch my cover on this song...it's a little rough, but i like it

  • amazing! best cover :)

    im learning this too, and was wondering where you got the tabs (especially for the bridge)

    thanks!

  • Amazing job!

    Give it a few years and you'll LOOK like Mr. Beam ♥

  • this is actually really good, better than all of the others i've seen

  • This is great. I think we have our next Samuel Beam. :)

  • i liked it... but you know nothing about how to use the mics you have dont you?

  • Marry me.

  • You seem like a very talented musician and have a totally righteous beard but i have to say i don't like the guitar in this interpretation. The singing is spot on but i think the single string slide from the C to the D gets really repetitive. It also gets overpowering and takes away from the vocals. The guitar part is meant to be mellow so it doesn't clash with the singing.

  • I agree.....i really dislike this cover. I didnt really take the time to learn that proper slide....but oh well cant win them all. Thanks for the Constructive criticism though.....tis the only way to improve.

  • Great cover, seems more stripped down than the origianal .. really liked your spin on it keeep the vid's coming :) 100 thumbs up

  • nice job! your B string sounds too strident! but nice job anyways!

  • @jimski123 the proper slide is super, super easy! i learned it within five minutes, seriously

  • An enjoyable interpretation! Thank you so much for posting

    ~Kat

  • this makes me want to learn how to play guitar :)

    your really great

  • Great cover, this song is hard on the fingers man. So is the beard a work in progress as well haha it suits this song. every time i play mr. beam i feel like i should grow a beard.

  • Wow this is awesome :) I really like how you changed the "chorus" (I guess that's what you'd call it lol). Great job :)

  • Thats exactly what a cover is. Its your choice whether you want to mix it up or not.

  • your really good

  • u knw its not really a cover if u do the SAME thing as the artist.

  • *Jaw drop* awesome :D!

  • the drama of the intro turned it off for me.

  • same here dude same here!!

  • mmmmmmmmmmm

    yummy

  • this is pretty bomb.

  • I think the beard helps this song sound better.

  • hahahahahahahaha I love you!

  • what kind of guitar you usin there broseph?

  • its a Taylor

  • Don't think you can do better ;) so SHUT UP!

    i'm a big fan of his music, and i dont think you can tip on to his songs...

  • I just now heard about this song. :( And for a person who loves music a lot, feels very left behind. :P

  • very awesome

  • crammed is the word that makes this very serious sounding song, not so serious sounding and fun.

  • you look cool and do a great job! only complaint is your slide makes me cringe! loosen up and relax.

  • i actually love the echo. this song is so fun to play. keep up the good work

  • your really really extremely good

  • Is it tough on the fingers to play this one?

    Sick song and good beardage.

  • Yes and no. It depends on how long you've been playing. More difficult on the forearm muscle due to the non stop picking.

  • YOU WIN!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

  • hahahaha.

  • haha i love you dude thats a good reply to that comment

  • sooooo good

  • if you want less echo dude, just play into the corner while you dont have much junk in that room

  • Wow.

    That was awesome.

    Will you marry me?

  • everything sounds great but I fear your slicing your finger everytime you slide down...sounds painful! haha

  • mad props

    that was soo good

  • you are good :D

    i loooved it. : )

  • Good f'n jpb

  • thats a sweet set-up you got going on

  • you must have a beard to properly play anything sam beam ever wrote

  • LMAO

  • spirit ....

    rudi

  • Are you finger picking the opening of the three chord formation? just wondering i'm having trouble playing the song.

  • mprep789 has a grea tutorial

  • WHOA great stuff man. You did the song justice for sure

  • is the guitar not a bit flat? good performance though. cheers

  • Amazinggggg

    you should try some City and Colour

    You could do it quite well!

  • you kind of look like sam but that's probably because of the beard

  • you're amazing

  • great job dude. well sang and played.

  • awesome job man

  • magnificent.

  • great job! and nice gear and studio, I guess you must be a boy with some coin yourself!

  • great job. do you do any more of their songs?

  • "each coming night" is another one ive tried to cover.....you can scroll on the right and its in there.

  • Fair effort on the song, great beard..

  • You look like sam beam

  • I agree with the guy below. I have been trying to find some good and acurate tabs and can't find any. It'd be nice if you could help us out.

  • I just started learning guitar and I thought this was pretty great. That's my opinion.

    That said, could you post the tabs? Me and my buddy are seriously dying to know the tabs and the tabs online are... not great.

    Such a nice song. -J

  • Beautiful cover.

  • excuse my french but "fuck" all these dumbasses who don't know what real talent is nor understand how good music is constructed, I think you did an amazing job, you have ALOT of talent, don't let these kind of people keep you from doing what you want to do, recording sound good with a little reverb anyways..... keep up the good work

  • beardy beard mcbeardstein

  • A 12 year old singing?! No man... Your good!

  • love this song, good cover! and i like your beard. :)

  • i saw iron and wine play tonight. and it was beautiful and this just increased my wonderful mood. a very simple cover. it was right on.

  • Sounds like a 12 year-old singing, and only about half of the notes are being played.

  • I listened to your stuff on myspace.....and you have seriously have no right to be commenting on others abilities to play music(or voice for that matter)because you dont possess the talent to critique others work my friend. You seem to be young. You will mature and find that leaving comments like the one you left me is about as queer as a tennis helmet.

  • As mature as using the term "queer" is, I have every right to critique. Don't post videos on YouTube if you can't handle criticism.

    Not that it matters, but I am actually a student composer at San Diego State University, and I do know what I'm talking about.

  • "sounds like a 12 year old singing" is a critique??? Youre a child...and anyone can pay to be a attend San Diego State pal...great accomplishment.

  • and i dont have a problem with people critiquing what I do. I have a problem with people like you who go around youtube just to insult people. If your gunna comment on someones music why not make it constructive.

  • Gosh, you have a wonderful attitude.

    I apologize if I have offended you, I was a bit hasty in my wording and I realize that. However, I refuse to continue pandering to a childish internet argument. If you're content with personal attacks on people who disagree with you, then I'm hardly your biggest problem.

  • exactly right. i'm sure jimski123 can accept constructive criticism, which most people should be able to handle; but it should not be tolerated when flat out insults are thrown carelessly around.

  • The word "Student" would explain your lack of manners and professionalism. You probably talk to your mom like that too. Classy dude.

  • i dont care what the other people who commented had to say. theres nothing wrong with this cover. it was awesome :-D

  • guitar line is right on man, work on the voice in the chorus some though

  • I really like this, a little different touch on the guitar, I would think thats harder than you you make it appear, again I've never hear this before, but that just makes it all the more interesting, and better, Thanks, I'll be back!

  • you have an amazing voice =D

  • you suck! I actually wanted to do this as the colab, no kidding. I even started recording it to send you an example in case you hadn't heard it. I'm using a panasonic gs320 with adobe premiere and audacity for post production. I'll go back to the drawing table unless you have a suggestion. nice job as always on this one. loser.

  • that was just horrible. and look what kind of person that made you like. a complete asshole. I hope someone says that about you when your trying to do something good.

    it was a great cover man!

  • did you even read what I wrote? me and jimski go way back. :/

  • great job man. I love the way the camera walks in on you at first. Sounds awesome as well even in raw form. 5 stars to you my friend!

  • thanks a million for commenting.

  • Painful to the ears.

  • hahah nice.

  • I thought it was rather brilliant.

    And that's an understatement, honestly.

  • thanks alot my friend.

  • YOU need to have your hearing checked. Brilliant it is NOT. Painful to the ears sums up this cover in a nutshell.

  • awesome cover, jimski! this is one of my favorites off the new album. if i'm not mistaken, those chords are Em and C variations?

  • correct my friend.....and slide that pointer finger....and done...

  • great cover! Great job!

  • great video loved it 5 stars for sure

  • Very nice job on this one!
