  • Biscuits and mustard

  • Very, very, very good job my friend!

  • Holy shit . You sound right on. My friend came over and before he seen the screen he had no idea this was a youtube cover. He thought it was the original. Your good man

  • Great job.

  • that was ridiculously good.. keep it up

  • wow this video makes me feel like shit because i can play this song just as well on guitar but my voice blows..

    Well done

  • 18 people think this guys fake just because he's so damn good.

  • Hey super, ik vind dit nummer zo tof, erg leuk dat het nummer zo goed wordt nagedaan door een nederlander :)

  • that is very good!

  • ITS NOT FAKE!!! EXCELLENT JOB MATE!

  • Amazing.

  • youre good. and youre also stoned as fuckkkk

  • JESUS CHRIST THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! and there are slight differences in your voices that a person with a good ear could pick up. all i have to say is WELL DONE. keep it up, o and thanks for spending the money on a nice condenser ;)

  • i just said some other guys cover was the best ive seen...i take it back, this is by far the best. cant think of anything that would make it better

  • whoever thinks this is fake is a hater and has no ear for music. Very good cover

  • this is amazing. great voice.

  • you mastered it, virtuoso

  • reverb in your voice? try without the effects.

  • Go be born Dutch, learn English, discover an American band, pick up guitar, learn this song recorded by that American band, sing and play it at the same time, almost flawlessly by the way, put the song on Youtube and receive 62 thousand views, then come back and tell this man "this is fake", but until said time, fuck off.

  • @ilgeneralisimo Brilliant :D

  • nice. im working on this song right now. its such a beautiful song. kinda tough for me cuz i dont normally play acoustic. i love to when i dont have the room for my electric. you definitely get more of a relaxed, peaceful feeling while playing acoustic.

  • This is the best. I love it. I dont think that its fake, I think its Badass.

  • omg, you are amazing!!

  • Your My Hero!

  • this is absolutly not fake srry guys hes just good... great job!!

  • All I can say is WOW!!!!

  • this. is. dave. matthews.

  • unreal dude!

  • wow! very nice man! i'm amazed. best cover indeed.

    very natural and sharp. you recorded voice + guitar with one mic (as opposed to plugged guitar)? what mic is that?

  • the best cover of this song on youtube!

  • that was amazingg, you sound just like him.

    i am like determined to learn this on guitar and you have inspired me more haha.

  • amazing bro! really amazing. Lot of feeling on it!

    5*

    i posted my video response to you. hope u accept it.

    cheers

  • sick bro! i just started playing this today and got verse one down.. great talent keep up the good work

  • B-E-A-UTIFUL

  • bravo excellent you sound alot like dave your actually really good you have talent

    keep on man!

  • Awesome Video man Sound just like Dave

  • woah did not expect you to souund that much like dave. great cover

  • Comment removed

  • haha, everyone's just mad that this guy is sick. keep it up, man!

  • watch all his videos.. he really does sound like dave.

  • Yeah, he's definitely not lip syncing. This is brilliant. I enjoy most of the covers you post, great job.

  • No way, he could possibly be lip sync but his playing is DEAD ON. Good job dude!!

    It IS possible that there is someone out there that sounds EXACTLY like Dave. It happens all the time with covers. The cover band plays BETTER than the real band.

  • @xzilerhy211 no look man. I'm not trying to be dick or anything but if you watch the very beginning he messes up with his fingers but the track stays right. he has his finger on a fret with a high note but it plays a low note and then he moves his finger to a low note and it plays a high note. I swear to god i am not being a dick or anything. I just hate when people disgrace a great band like dmb by lip sinking. this guy is a fake and im sorry if you still don't believe me.

  • bro, hes not lip syncing, i know what version you are talking about by dmb where he does the same ending and this guy sounds different plus that version has two guitars. and even if he messed up a tiny bit at the begining, as long as the root note of the chord is correct, the chord will sound good for the most part. i thought it was too good to be true at first too, but after watching it a couple times, its legit...

  • hes legit, watch his other videos.. his live ones

  • naw man he is deffinately lip singing. i have this track on my itunes and i played them together a couple times. They are exactly the same. the ending is from a live concert. its not a twist.

  • Simply amazing

  • @dinoquincy333 Seriously why come in here to just to show how ignorant you are and hate on probably the best covers of dmb on youtube? Is it because you can't get too anywhere near where hes at?

    Other than that AMAZING Cover, keep up the great work!

  • Do you think we're fucking studid? its PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that you lip singed that. your voice has a reverb which IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO without a mic.

  • look in the corner of the screen he has a mic and watch his other vids he is really good

  • he does have a mic... lol

  • no fuckin way. your my idol. my favorite song...and you did it perfect.wowz

  • great job dude....

  • Je bent, en blijft de beste...

  • best cover on youtube of this song, loved it

  • that was the best cover of this song on you tube.

    amazing

  • Your twist on the end was amazing.

  • I think this almost sounds like he put daves voice over his music. This is great cover.

  • wow youre a good singer :)

  • wow amazing i wish i cud sing like dave matthews haha great cover

  • Your voice is like liquid gold.

  • great cover man! Not an easy song to cover, but you do it effortlessly.

  • haha he looks so bored. looks almost effortless. amazing cover

  • best CIM cover on youtube, well done mate!

  • U look like u just woke up..lol. Nice job tho

  • thats pretty dang good....

  • OH MY GOD... this is almost as amazing or even better then daves such an amazing cover

  • holy shit.............wow

  • This is crazy! You are soo good!!

  • You... are... amaaaazzzzzziiingg.

  • amazing.

  • Beyond beautiful :)

  • amazing cover, great alternate ending too

  • wow

  • You are amazing and hot hot hot. I love this song! :)

  • WHOLY SHIT!!!!! That was AMAZING!

  • the ending is classic by the way hahaha

  • dave matthews covered this song after this guy right???? :)

  • You do know his voice is digitally enhanced listen to his other covers..

  • what you hear is his soul....

  • i show all my friends your videos and they cant believe hwo well you play and sound like dave matthews, i listen to this song alteast once and hope to learn it my self

  • I'm lost for words. Not only is ur voice identical to his, but the inflections and phrasing are perfect. Even Dave Matthews doesn't play it this well live.

  • kippenvel....:$

  • A bookmark song for sure , Great job ...

  • Your amazing! I'm speechless, I've never heard anyone sound so much like Dave Matthews :) Keep it up! :)

  • fkin great cover ...go out and let the dutch heear the dave matthews sound....5out of5

  • What sound system do you use to record it (microphone)? And what software do you use to iron out any rough edges?

    The video is impressive. Great Job!!!

  • YES!YES!YES!!! Dave Rules!!! Nice cover man! Send me the Chords will ya?

  • I think you titled your video wrong. It should've been called "freaking amazing!!!!!"

    seriously....

  • "...I refer to call it 'a good way of wasting time' during study.... ", haha nice! you sing amazingly, I really do enjoy your cover.

  • Holy freaking shit you sound like Dave!!!!

    And your from Holland! wow! wow! and freaking WOW!

  • Damn. That was spot on.

  • dang your good!

  • C'mon guys... Reinier, plays this a really well! The voice, is 100% sure that's Reinier voice (go and compare it with the other covers)! Ok, he might have the closest tone to Dave's, but Dave's voice is recognizable from the very first note!

    Well done Reinier!

  • man you've stolen dave's voice. give it back to him!

    but srsly youre amazing and this is most beautiful cover of this EVER

  • dude. you rock.

  • ok, guitar is real.. cause those chords are right.. but i'm sorry man i believed it at first but I'm almost positive the voice is fake, not because it sounds just like daves, because I know people that can get taht close, it's the fact that it's theres no loss on your voice and everything is picked up but if you were that far from the mic you wouldn't get as much as we can hear right now, sorry bro

  • No problem! Sometimes, you know, it makes me proud people think it's fake AND even take the time to tell me. Thanks!

    The reason why everything is picked up because I use a condenser (/electrostatic)microphone. If you look closely on the bottom (right) of the screen, you can see it. It's different than a dynamic stage mic (Shure 58, etc.) which need to be closely to your mouth. It comes in handy for recordings like these ones.

    Thanks again and thanks for your time!

  • to me, this is fake.

  • Actually, it is fake. This beautiful an fascinating song, is not mine. It makes me wonder how it came up to Dave back in the days... I wish I had more original songs indeed.

    But anyway, this is not a Dave recording. No, it was me having fun playing songs and share it with different and other fans. You can call it fake, I refer to call it 'a good way of wasting time' during study.

    This particular video at least open some doors/stages for me

    Thanks for at least taking the time.

  • @ReinierMatthews on one of the live versions he said Neil Young wrote it

  • ???

  • err..no?But I know how you feel, at first I thought so too (meaning that he just put the real singing and instruments over the video) but nope, watch all his other videos, even at live shows, it is really his voice.

    AWESOME WORK Reinier! I am actually trying to learn that song too, it's kinda easy to play in my opinion..and it has such a nice effect,nice song.

    I can only repeat:

    AWSOME DUDE 5*

  • i agree with xcajb i want all versions of this song. my fave song ever and you pulled this coever off with your fabulous voice!!! wow x

  • it is dave matthews not his voice fools

  • wow this is really good!

  • Nice job. I am working on this song... and it's tough. You nailed it.

  • jeez, wow.. what an inspiration. (:

  • wow! you actually sound like him... haha weird.. good job!

  • Absolutely beautiful job on this song.

  • wow. i was speechless when i heard your voice. amazing, dude.

  • great cover but i love the ironworker picture in the back, i am one myself

  • haha, like most dave fans I have about 10 different versions of this song on my ipod because every version of this song is unique. I kind of want to add this cover to the collection haha. Well done!!!

  • 5 stars! great cover! :)

  • is it safe to say, that if u learn how to play this u WILL get laid?

  • yes, atleast once.

  • Curious. what kind of pick are you using? .38mm? thanks keep it up! sounds wonderful!

  • Dude, take all these negative posts as a compliment. They think it's TOO good to be a cover lol. Thats really saying something. Congrats at being amazing. You rock bro.

  • holy shit. i kinda laughed at his face at first but then when he opened his mouth.. his voice sounds exactly like dave

  • The best cover I've ever heard, congratulations!

    I say it twice: you are a genious!

  • Wow!

  • all you have to do is listen to his other songs to know how he sings it's not rocket science to the guy who is a "sound engineer" he sounds just like dave matthews and is extremely gifted. just give him credit bro

  • so ur an experienced sound engineer and your going around critiquing peoples videos dont u have shit to do mr. sound engineer

  • I can't believe everyone is buying this video. He maybe playing and singing the song. But that's deffinetly not what we're hearing. That's obviously the actual track and he doing a good job of lip syncing. I was fooled at first but then I realized, wow, that must be some amazing acoutics in that room, it sounds like a studio. Even if  Dave did that song acoustic and live it would sound that good. Nice job, you fooled most of them.

  • are u retarded its called effects

  • No, but your obviously retarded. I'm an experinced sound engineer and I'm very familiar with effects, mic'ing and mixing. The subtle attributes in the vocal are something that is only accomplished by a close proximity to the microphone. If the mic was able to pick it up with that distance it would be drowned out by the guitar. Notice there is only one microphone?

  • dude jus shut the hell up do u not notice the mic in front of him? even if it wasnt him jus shutup hater

  • what is great about this 'mixing'? No mixing here, just some reverb, stop pretending.

    I do love the 'your retarded' though, show em who's boss -_-

  • Porter you are an absolute idiot. Yes you have the right to your opinion but at least have some educated sense. This guy is for real. Listen to his other covers.... No one can actually duplicate Dave's voice and if you were a true Dave fan you would see the difference.

    Great song, great voice. Give the guy some credit for being good before you say its fake.

  • Dude I've seen him playing this song live. He's for real...

  • wish he would come down here and do this cover live it would be amazing.

  • Amazing job, truly outstanding. Gifted musician. 5 *****

  • great cover!

  • nicely done!!!...

  • I've never left a comment on youtube but about 10 seconds into this I was wondering what I was going to say...  Awsome! Thank you!!!

  • I love it:)

  • Bravo....excellent <3.

  • youre voice sounds echoed its pretty sweet

  • i honestly thought this wouldn't be good but its perfect. keep it up and trim them eye brows and you will be famous!

  • this is amazing man.

  • DUDE! That was very awesome. Keep on playin!

  • (yet another) Awesome cover!

  • sounds just like dave

  • Reinier

    This..........is amazing.

    Sounds so good, and you've got that humble, down-to-earth "dave" appearance.

    Keep it up.

  • great job it sounds just like the original :)

  • Amazing cover i enjoyed it a lot, nice work!
