  • your very good, enjoyed that alot. please check out my daughter Sophie Bond age 17yrs singing this song, she sang it at boot camp on xfactor, she made it to last 16 girls from 65,000 not bad but shes gutted and doesnt see it as an achievement at the minute, its too raw.

  • I love your voice!!!

  • awesome :)

    as r.e.m. called it a day, you should definitely get invited to one of the surely following tribute concerts...you'd be better than any famous band or singer!

  • awesome

  • Beautiful, just beautiful !

  • I have this on my mp3/phone. This is amazing.

  • man, u can play guitar! your voice is incredible and i find it really really hard 2 play and sing at the same time, got any tips?

  • @mariocartracers Thanks for the kind words. I have three great tips for playing and singing at the same time.

    1. Practice

    2. Practice

    3. Practice

    I'm not being a smartass, that's really the only solution to it, there's no easy way. Good luck with it, take care.

  • @ianb4music PERFECT TONE ON THIS SONG . GOOD EXTENSION AT THE END OF EACH VERSE. INCREDIBLE  CONTROL OF YOUR VOICE

  • @ianb4music BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG.......PERIOD.

  • @mariocartracers Personally, i first try to sing only the melody and no words you know try to feel the melody... that's it... good luck : )

  • This is as good as the original, sounds very accurate, is that a Gibson you' re playing on?

  • sweet cover man, i want to put some vids up myself and i was wandering what set up i would need to get. yours looks like what im looking for so any advice you or anyone else could give me would be much appreciated. cheers

  • My 13 year old son plays and sings. I use this video to show him what difference it makes between just playing and playing with feeling. You play with such passion and feeling and it shows. As he gets old and lives through life's ups and downs the passion will show up. Ian, I just love the passion you sing and play with.
