Good stuff mate!! Love it, and I'm jealous cause i wish i could sing haha :(

[cassiopeux]

Great cover!

[nickmotil]

@adrewgibbs thanks for saying so! I have more than a couple albums available - iTunes, amazonmp3, etc - so the original songs are there and still coming but it's friends like YOU that get us "famous" so tell some friends! Cheers

[ADrewGibbs]

I hope you become famous and write your own music

[nickmotil]

thanks to all for the kind comments that keep coming in...I'm working on a tutorial video for this cover as I've been asked many times now through messages for the tuning and chords that I use.

keep patient! cheers!

[milindrakulugammana]

Fantastic cover. Your guitar tone is meaty, and your vocals are great.

[92stephenkane]

If it means anything, whenever I want to listen to this song I always put in that extra effort of going onto youtube and searching for this cover rather than clicking open the original on itunes. You've got something extra, don't know what it is but it's amazing mate.

[02047874]

Youre voice makes me speechless! Absolutely brilliant, well done! :).

[yhighpolicy]

I saw you play at Concordia tonight and I was unbelievable impressed. I decided to check out your youtube channel, and more Jimmy Eat World! By far my favorite band. I love the way you are true to the tune but interpret and put your own spin to it. Super impressed, definitely going to continue listening to your music. Thanks for coming up to Minnesota and playing such a fantastic show!

[danielkrymow]

[nickmotil]

@danielkrymow wow - thank you so much for the compliment! I'm working on another Jimmy video - hoping for this week sometime! cheers

[djtetsuo1984]

AMAZING!!! I literally can't stop listening to this! The replay button has been abused, What guitar is that? Sounds great! Keep up the good work, Butterflies is also amazing.

[nickmotil]

@djtetsuo1984 thanks for the kind comment - I'm playing a CF Martin & Co. SPD16. I love it do death. and thanks for checking out my original tunes as well. cheers

[fochilin]

I just want you to know that it took only 20 seconds to reach for the "favorite" button. That's a new youtube record for me.

@fftl34 :) thanks a ton!

[cloucas2007]

@fftl34 I agree. A truly amazing cover of an absolutely beautiful song. Wonderful, wonderful job and thank you so much for sharing!

[milindrakulugammana]

Stellar cover ♥

[xdani24]

GREAT cover :)

i love this song, and this whole album is amazing. jimmy eat world is the best<3

[Spong399]

Very nice tone!

[friendslifttogether]

This is such an amazing cover for so many reasons - you took an awesome song and totally made it your own. So impressive. Your headstock was cut off a bit from the camera angle, but what chords did you use? It looked like a mix. There's no way this cover could possibly be replicated, but it would be fun to experiment using what you did. Phenomenal job, five-stars, without question.

[nickmotil]

well thanks so much for saying so! be sure to subscribe, I'm planning on posting another Jimmy tune next week!

[Deputy4137]

well by far this is the bet "chase this light" cover....you have a great voice too....if u have some extra time u should do some more jimmy

[Deputy4137]

very good man....what tuning do u have this song on?

[nickmotil]

I'm pretty sure I'm in DADGAE

plays a lot like DADGAD - but rings that E at the top

I believe its the same tuning as "Kill" - I'm not 100% sure that's how Chase This Light - that's just where I went with it.

[xxcocoxxchanelxx]

Your voice just fits this song perfectly..... Fabulous timing. Great guitar skills, and great tone!

Absolutely amazing

[natt4212]

awesome. great voice, tone and timing!

[nickmotil]

hey thanks a lot! I always have a soft-spot for the technical compliments :)

[Drudoo21]

Really enjoyed it! Keep it up!

[GhostBearTV]

Great cover man.......such an awesome song! I hope Jim Adkins gets into producing bands someday cause he knows how to put great songs together

[nickmotil]

thanks so much, I appreciate it!....

and can I just call dibs if he does? :)

thanks for the love
