I like your very relaxed version! Even though I was not around when the song was a hit, it was the best time for music and many of these songs are still better than the current billboard 100 crap.
Keep it up, and check out my version, I just posted it today.
ive been playing guitar for a long time and I'm having a lot of trouble figuring this song out! Forget about frettkiller, I just wish I could play this song as good as you do. Its not easy
Yes, thank you for your reassurance. I understand that these negative comments have mostly to do with feelings of inferriority. They come from people who hardly do any uploading of original material themselves. I guess this negative aggressivness has to do with the frustration they face not beeing able to produce something which they dare to put out here. But it´s not such a big thing! "Don´t be affraid" I would like to tell them... Greetings to you bakuganbrawlerjulie
Yes, I guess you´re right. It was the first clip that I made, and I was unsure about what to make of this youtube-thing, what was expected. Some other users had posted their view of a "brave new internet community". I still wonder...??
thanks for a thoughtfull commentary... you´re right... I guess I picked the a-minor from a popular songbook and then figuered a suitable bassline for myself (One needs a flexible joint in the thumb !). I knew, it was not an exact replica of the kings... But Ray Davies has a higher range in his voice then I do - and it gives me more pleasure if I can add a little personal tilt to a cover song. Cheers
as good as you can do it? some people just don't want to improve. suggestions - first, go and learn to play the song properly second, go and learn to sing.
after all that chat at the beginning, and taking your age into account i thought that was going to be really good. how wrong could i be, that was truly abysmal. when you thought all those years ago that you'd never be able to play it think you probably had a point!
So what is this thing about age which you take into account? And what is eating you? I don´t think of YouTube as an entertainment channel in the first place. What do you have to offer?
and greetings across the Atlantic. We´re probably in the same age range and might have a couple of things in common. Where are you from, what´s your occupation?
Yes, his playing is really accomplished.... to watch other homegrown musicians doing their thing is really inspiring. One wouldn´t think there are so many guitarplayers still around... with so many people spending their time with these electronic gadgets. But I guess playing a guitar or other stringed instrument is an archetypel activity... kind of soul clearing. Take care.
That was fun to listen to =) I love that song and it's great to be re-introduced to it since it had been so long since I last heard it. And I liked your intro at the beginning as knowing what the song means to the person singing it adds another level to the performance. Great work ;)
Thanks again for your encouragement, some of these negative comments get to you some times... even though I understand, there must be some problem on their side. Good luck
I don't wish to be insulting, and I hardly ever leave comments - but that was truly awful. And Baltimore was even worse. Please please please at least get the chords right before going public with cover versions.
Good version. I used to be a band many moons ago, and we would cover quite a few Kink's songs, including this one and Well Respected Man. They always went over well. Why don't you have a go at Waterloo Sunset... I think you a voice that would suit it well. Thanks -Ron
Waterloo Sunset - why, that´s actually what came to my mind, after I listened to my recording... it´s only a question of time... but I´ll put it on the list of possible covers, which I have collected. Greetings, Bob

Great to hear another version.
I would skip the one minute talking intro.
Many viewers would click away before you play.

"Some people just don´t want to improve" - that is a kind of negative generalisation.
I you don´t like my performance here, maybe try one of my other songs? I also work on the format in general...
