Nice job Ian been w mostly my accoustic and I go to your account for ideas or if i get stuck.anting to post for awhile but my account was messed up.I play as wellYou play alot of songs I wouldnt have even thought of playing until I hear your versions like this song I love it this way.So please keep em comming I will being jamming along with you.
Finally had a chance to watch more of your videos. They're amazing. You have a great voice and play very well. I enjoy listening. Have you done a cover to Excess Baggage yet? ^_^
You sing it, as if you wrote it. I can't believe there are 5 dislikes. Even REM would like it! Watching this inspires me to keep going, on learning to play guitar that is.
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.
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!
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
HA!HA! LOL! I love your music thank you YouTube and Thank you! And by the way , I Get the Million Internet points at 4:21 or so! I WIN! I WIN !!! I think.
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.
4:25 seconds lol... Great job though sir.. Great cover...
