This is true. It took me a while to play guitar and sing well. You have to learn the instrument so well that you play it without thinking. Then you can concentrate on the singing :)
mate all i can say is, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!! i honestly did not know what to expect when watching this, some covers can slaughter beautiful songs, especially if i've never heard the song before, like in this case. you have really brought out the best in this song, and i commend you :) job well done dude, keep up the great work. im going to check out ur album for sure!!!
I was expecting this cover (like lots of covers) to be luke-warm, but I was truly wowed. You have an amazing voice. Love it!!! You are good enough to sing professionally. :) Do you?
I have considered Green day, because I love some of their songs. The problem is that I've got over 200 song requests, and they are climbing daily. I'd like to cover as many different bands as I can and Green day is on my list :)
I haven't had that many requests for autographs over the past few years but there have been some. You flatter me with your request. I'm sure if I get any recognition, I'll be dishing them out in the future :)
gotta admit I thought this would be another terrible attempt but WOW just great keep on doing what you do and dont listen to the idiots who dont have the courage to do this them selves
lol i was so not expectin that your very good . there is nothin i wish than to be able to sing, i can play guitar very well but man i wish i cud sing like this or just remotly :(
Singing is something I enjoy, and I think enjoying it is a big part of it. I also play guitar, but not very well :)
I taught myself to sing, but I've been around those who have been trained, so I did a few videos with tips for those learning to sing. Go to my channel and look through my vids for "How to sing". There's links on the vids to each part.
WOW! I would call this "awesomeness". I found you by accident. I only have two questions; when will you be in my town to perform and where do I buy the tickets to your concert???????
I hope you're singing at clubs or something, although you're fine for bigger things, but still. Saved to faves/five stars.
Thank you again. It's a possibility that I might be performing soon. I never originally intended for myself to get up and sing, but it seems that there are a number of people that would like to see it, so I feel very flattered by it all :)
Regular daily practice can improve your voice. Did you check out my "How to sing" tips. There's some exercises that can help make your voice more powerful. It can take months, but it's worth it :)
One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite artists. To be honest, I didn't think anyone could even come close to the original but... thumbs up! I was wrong ;-)
I just read in one of your replies you have a LOT of requests but I'll add one of my own anyways. I'd really like to hear you sing one of Xavier Rudd's songs. In my opinion he's one of the best live performers I've hear.
For now I'll go back to listening to all the songs you've sung so far. Oh.. and I subscribed of course ;-)
I do have a lot of requests. Close to 90 outstanding now, and I've put up 63 videos in total. So I've been getting more than I can cope with. The current backlog will take me well over a year to get through, and that doesn't include songs I want to do, and my original songs.
omg i thot this is going to be someone that thinks they can sing but cant. but ur really good an am not just sayin that if u wer shit i would av sed but ur excellent.
Ok, many people make this kinda videos and just ruin the whole song, but u made a version of This Years Love by David Gray as good as his was, so Thank You for making this version of it! your a good singer
This was another request. I am currently dealing with a challenge I was set. I was asked to pick an old Beatles song that very few people knew, and then re-invent it as an Indie song. I'm hoping to get to finish it in the next few days. I'm just working on the arrangement at the moment :)
I'm originally from West London, but I have been living near the city of Chichester in West Sussex for the last 6 years. Not too far away from Portsmouth :)
AWESOME!!!! you really have a good voice!!! i thought that the singer was singing it not you ! lol keep up da good work! i was from england too but i moved here to L.A.
oh my gawd i want/need your voice, ive just started singing again after ages and i am not happy with what ive lost, so i decided im going to favourite all your videos to get my voice back to what it was
You do it so well done this 1 a few times on karaoke, as you can see I am still ironing and listening, you are very easy with the camera. Back to the sheets now LOL .
Hello Giovanna. I recognise you from the comments on my original songs. Thank you. I think that expression is probably the most important element of singing :)
My vocal tone is something I've lived with all my life (of course. lol.) So I don't see anything really special in it. So it came as a surprise to me that a lot of people just liked the sound of it!
