  • 3:06....amazing

  • Joel nails the solo perfect!!

  • great song, a classic. proves my point that justien bieber is not the only great song writer in the business. oh wow these guys are not 15 years old, i thought all the real talent was, once again the old guys rock.

  • WOW do those guitar sound SOOO clean. Great stuff.

  • this acoustic adaptation is nice!

  • OK, I am trying to learn this song on acoustic guitar. I believe it should be played in drop D tuning, however, they appear to be playing it in standard, but still in key of D. Anybody know what chord shapes the lead player is hitting during the verse and chorus?

  • @Dolphster5000 Played this with my band at our last concert. No tabs for it so I tabbed it out myself; solo was a real pain to tab. Sounds right though when played with the other guitar part. Tuning is DbAbDbGbBbEb/C#G#C#F#A#D#. X is just a place marker for a string that isn't played and x is a mute.

    Verse: 0009XX, 00011XX, 0007XX, 00014XX, X055XX,X002XX X00XXX, X057xX

    Prechorus: 0002XX, 3334XX, 5555XX, 6666XX

    Chorus: X355XX, 00543X, 00023X, 004x7X, 007x10X

  • What a kick ass song!!!

  • I miss driving to work and hearing new bands and new songs by bands as amazing as collective soul ! too bad most of that talent has disappeared !

  • Love his voice, can't stop listening.

  • holy crap this is goooood... gosh collective soul is SOOO good

  • That was sweet.

  • I feel strangely compelled to purchase some motor oil.

  • omg these acoustic versions of theirs are like the coolest songs ever put together

  • not the song Collective Soul - thaks again:)).>>)))).).

  • Thank you in the top25 of all time - do not rank just music:)>)>>)))>

  • SWEET!!

  • Good Morning KarYn !!!!!!! Hope This Song Makes Your Day Sweetie !!!!!

  • I love this man! 

  • what a fantastic voice

  • thumbs up if Shawn Mullins brought you here!

  • soul + great music = Collective Soul

  • Love him!!!!

  • I've been humming and singing this all day...this is the BEST version of the song by car...a timeless classic. The 4 people who disliked this were all Justin Beiber fans!

  • good job guys

  • The guy singing is just tuned down 1/2 step D# (standard tuning).

    Great song!

  • That gave me goosebumps. Amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • I was kinda hoping Ed would do the "YEAH!" Don't matter, still Amazing.

  • Thank you KFOG - so amazing!

  • Watching Collective SOul live videos never gets old! Ed and the boys always bring so much soul and energy and they hit EVERY note! Simply incredible muscicians! I am proud to say my first concert was a Collective Soul show!

  • Im a punk and metal diehard but this was amazing.

  • das fetzt nicht schlecht

  • hello to Inta and Zane !!!!

  • Brilliant

  • song of the day dedicated to nurse karYn ~~~~ thanks for saving me

  • song of the day to karYn !!

  • anyone know what tuning the guy singings guitar is in?

  • @billyboy630 D - A - D - G - B - E. in other words: tune down the sixth string to D

  • @germansillies Thanks

  • @germansillies yall got the rite idea but the guy playing and doing vox is tuned to standard, and the guy playing all the lead licks is down in D

  • @purified835 yeah, you're right, I just realized he was asking for the guy singing, I thought he was asking for the lead guitar

  • It's better than the original one!!

  • who ever disliked this is out of their minds

  • This is fucking awesome!!

  • If you came here first, you should also watch Collective Soul - Shine (Video) and don't forget to CRANK IT UP

  • dude he ripped the shit out of that solo

  • Fantastic sound and fantastic video! Thank you.

  • any one who disliked this is out of their damn mind

  • wow.. tht solo was breathe taking no joke.. amazing:) and on acoustic so it makes it harder to pull off

  • totally did not expect him to attempt the solo. Kudos and then some for this performance

  • AMAZINGGGGG! Love this acousticcccc! Love this band! <3

  • how can u dislike this?

  • Fantastic rendition of this song. Might even like this version better than the studio,

  • Cant wait for CS new album this year!

  • Nothing showcases a performers true talent like an unplugged version of their songs. 

  • Super Roland Bros.

  • Love that he killed that solo on acoustic instead of writing something easier for acoustic. That's awesome. Makes me love Collective Soul that much more.

  • thats in my all time top 3

  • @jomeena oh pleeeease tell me the others!!! :)

  • Berkeley School of Music, Boston, baby!

  • Classic 90's tune!

  • @usersongs

    Your comment = ROTFL!! xD

    If you thought this was bad: As much as I love Rush, you should watch Alex Lifeson's face when he plays guitar! You would think that the higher the note, the more painful it is for him to play, based on his face.

  • liked this video

  • hey Mike, that hippy lookin blond haired guitar man is tottaly the man, the soul is drippin outa the song, watch out brothers !

  • hahaha XD probably the most embarrassing faces i've ever seen, every time he sings "wo oh oh" im pretty sure he could sing that part fine without doing that

  • @usersongs youre just jealous.. 'coz you cant sing.. and cant play guitar either.. so shut the hell up..

  • All time favorite performance by the greatest band ever (in my opinion)

  • why do they allways skip the most awsome part of the song when they do it unplugged??? im talking about the "ya" part :D

  • AWESOME!!! ;)

  • beautiful.

  • does not get any better than this - enough here to understand life worth living

  • this makes me wonder if i could ever pull off that solo.... inspiring music man

  • That guitar solo was amazing!!

  • never thought the acoustic version of this song could be so good...great song,awesome band

  • a great reason to use mp3ify - the selection is bigger than anything else in Internet history

  • Love the Georgia musicians! hard to believe they released this on their first cd in 1991, and hearing it acoustically... this song could come out today, 20 years later and be a hit. That's real music that transcends time.

  • Shine

  • this made me want to pick up my guitar and learn how to play it.

  • Can someone please tell me what brand of guitar these guys are playing...oh, and model of guitar. Thankyou! The sound is incredible.

  • Soooooo Good!

  • I got tickets to see them in Indianapolis this Sept at an outdoor event at Military Park(cannot wait to see them). That vid just shows what a couple of "Good Musicians" and a just a couple of guitars can do.That was an excellent unplugged piece. Since Ross Childress (lead guitar and vocals) not paying with them is a major loss though.

  • yep. PERFECT!!

  • fluidity, that is the best one word description I can think of. What a beautifully made song and what great musicians.

  • GREAT song, and it sounds even better played acoustic.

  • Did they ever release this on CD?

  • I wish I had been there. Could have helped them out.  Would have been like "yeow".

  • wow ang galing!!!

  • fuckin acoustic solo made me wanna cry, it was so epic

  • this guys got a dope voice..

  • Beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes!

  • OMG

  • love this even more done acoustic, so much talent <3

  • every time i watch one of their song played acousticly, he still rocks the solo and i love it. most bands wont play the guitar solo if its an acoustic cover but he still shreads the fuck out of it

  • I love this song but guys you have to check out the cover Pillar did for this song... Its so awesome!

  • Great version. Love it stripped down and raw!

  • these guys have always been my inspiration! i was feeling discouraged wit singing and now i wanna get back into singing not just guitar!!!! :D thanx guys!! USE ROK!!!

  • Ive never seen this video b4 - I honestly think Big Toe's version has a lot more passion than this version

  • Excellent! Two thumbs up!

  • great vid, thanks

  • Goddam, I honestly didn't know their guitarist could play like that.

  • that was a brilliant acoustic rendition

  • Unlike RAP CRAP( folks talking-not singing)Ed and the boys can play and sing. CLASSIC rock continues with bands like Collective Soul.

  • 10x better than rap. :)

  • make it 100x

  • @jetskiism i agree, this is PERFECT!

  • @jetskiism don't disrespect other people's culture and values. it's the first sign of barbarism. followed closely by isolation and cultural death.

  • @ghosterdude exactly what I was thinking. Just because you don't like a style of music is no reason to bash it in a compliment to another genre.

  • @jetskiism I AGREE

  • @jetskiism

    there's good rap out there,it's just were exposed to more "crap rap" then quality rap.

  • @SpinDoctor91 agreed i wish more people knew that. i used to hate rap in its entirety until i discovered the joy of underground rap and hip hop and now it's my favorite genre. rhymesayers entertainment is the shit

  • @SkylarrL

    yes i totally agree,when people say all rap is bad there just not educated enough to know there's good rap out there.alot of people just see the rap that is mainstream and judge rap soley based on that,and that's not true.there is some good rap out there,underground rap,and artist like Common,Talib Kweli,Jadakiss,and even Jay-Z are still good and meaningful rappers.people should listen to the good stuff before judging rap as a whole based on the mainstream stuff.

  • arg that solo is way too hard

    but is oh so awesome ... at least this one can be used to mimic

    might be a start

  • Musica EXCELENTE... um fã de Portugal

  • Esta era la cancion exacta!!! :) jajaja tambien habia pensado en esta!!!!

  • thats nasty soloing for accoustic

  • D - Dsus - Dsus4 - C9 - G ... the basis of about every acoustic rock song ever.

    But its just transposed... CS is the best ever anyway.

  • Definitely cool guitar playing. :)

  • even i'v seen the acoustic version on vh1....it was awesome....and the best lead on acoustic....had recorded it on my media center but got deletd....have been searching dat video for months now..

  • I played this song at my brothers wedding! :D

  • There's this acoustic version they show sometimes on VH1, I think it's at an MTV studio or something, and they look pretty young there, with long hair and all. But I can't find that version on youtube. Anyone knows which one I'm talking about? Or where I can find it? Please Help. I'm losing sleep over this!!

  • Just one of those songs that can be done in accustic and sound as good as in a recording booth. If you really listen this song has more meaning than the obvious.

  • BYE .....HASTA LUEGO H

  • NO me molesta..... pero no me mal interpretes POR FAVOR
