this is fabulous! could you please give me the chords for the guitar part? also, im a beginner, so I can't do bar chords yet. could you send me one i could use with a capo?
@blackswan54, hi, thanks so much for posting. If you write the name of the song in Google's search box together with the word chords, a whole load of pages will come up. I'm sure they'll be very helpful. Take care, Eric.
I recently had the pleasure of seeing Carole King and James Taylor perform this live in Boston...I gained an appreciation of the song for the first time. So it was a nice surprise to find your delightful version here on YT that I can enjoy any time I want!
i would like to add that i thought that the split screen was very good but it was seeing you twice that freaked me out lol. you are very talented being able to play the two instruments m8
Hey DubStehdy, thanks so much man. Checked out your vids, outstanding! Hey folks, check out this great singer and uke player he's stupendous. Take care chum, Eric.
Hi bea78tles, thanks so much for the glowing compliment, and although I know you didn't post your comment directly to me I felt I really must reply. Forgive me for that. The reason is I just wanted to put the record straight. There aren't two guys, there's only one. Me. I film myself twice and then join the two together with an effect called split screen. Thanks so much chum, best wishes, Eric.
will you love me tomarrow what a great song bring back variety i say you should be on prime time tv Eric where has variety gone it was so great why do we not see it any more i dont know its really sad take care love mere ps keep up the good work
Hi BigBearHK1234, thank you so much for your kind comment. Wow, that's quite compliment to say you'd fly over to see me, thank you. However, I don't do live 'gigs' anymore, well not for the time being at least, but thanks for the offer. Take care friend, all the best, Eric.
Amazing stuff as usual Eric! Thanks for posting and brightening the day of anyone who listens to your videos, and fantastic musical talents. Keep it up! Cheers mate!
You are a genius, Eric, never mind the little imperfections. However I do understand about perfectionism, which makes me wonder what editing software you're using?
If you use something like Final Cut try and play with the garbage matte filter, which allows you to turn the straight line of the split into a line with many kinks. Almost like a cookie cutter.
But again, your brilliance is obvious. I love your work!
ISDesigns, hi Ilja, aw, too kind. I don't know about genius but I do believe in rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. But even then once I'm in front of the camera it sometimes all goes to pot. I use a stand alone editing machine that I bought about eight years or so ago. It's called a Casablanca AvioDV. I bought it because at that time my computer was not up to using editing programs. Things have moved on since. MovieMaker even comes with windows XP for instance. All the best, Eric.
ISDesigns, hi Ilja, oh bugger, you would watch this one wouldn't you! lol. Your'e absolutely right though, and in fact I very nearly didn't upload it, there's so much I wasn't happy with, the split screen being only one of them. I found this one trickier than most because I wasn't totally comfortable with the electric uke bit, couldn't hear the guitar trough my earpiece and mis-judged my standing position. I'm a bit of a perfectionist most times but on this one I got a bit sloppy. Cont...
Part 2. I'd gone through the uke bit so many, and I mean SO MANY!!! times that when I did a take all the way through that I was fairly satisfied with I went with that. What I should have done is dumped it all and and started all over again, or at least done a bit more practice on the uke. One vid I did do where I moved the split is 'Another Suitacase etc' however my editing machine tends to show a blip when I move the split mid clip. Ah well, I'll keep at it till I get it right. Best, Eric.
Aw, man! Such a beautiful voice, and so well played (what a great looking electric ukulele!), and that ending! LOL!!! Marvelous job, Eric! 5 stars!!! :)
singingkid, hi Greg, thanks so much, you're a mate. My uke may look good, just wish I could play the bloody thing. lol. Anyway, I'll keep practising. If you like good singing folks, check this guy out, one of the best, Eric.
Hi getawayman1, thanks so much you're very kind. I think however that's three for me and two for him. He really will have to put some practice in on that uke. Best, Eric.
Well done Eric and Al fantastic it just got better the longer it went on , your voices blend so well together !! Split screen ? what split screen is that , thanks again Eric for a very enjoyable rendition of a lovely song. Your the tops !! (Well you are I'm not so sure about Al)
BlueEyes0770, hi Alex mate, Wow, thanks so much. Hey folks, if you like smooth singing in the Sinatra vein, check this young guy out, he's cool! Best, Eric.
Just another comment Eric...I also just received one of those emails to verify my Hotmail account. Because of what happened to you I deleted it right away!!!!
vampireratt, hi Cary, I'm glad my vid did some good. It's been a real pain. Not only because everything I used that email for has been closed down, plus people have been getting begging letters from Nigeria. If they've got any sense though they will of course have just ignored it. Best, Eric.
absolutely fabulous, this should have 6 million views instead of 6 thousand. fantastic sound.
