[beentheredonethat04]

weak



[TheSecrecyOfSolitude]

I wish I could sing that good

[musicislifeslaughter]

is this guy american or english?

[Liquadia1]

very nice wish i could sing like this despite my stuff being up! zero comments

[thistyme]

This is nice, in a freshman in college sort of way. Search "Wolfie Geske- Happy Birthday".

[ChrisHallMusic]

Like the song. Great melody! Love listening to fellow singer song writers :)

[FlagsGone]

I really like your stuff .....great sound and melody. wouldn't mind your thoughts on some of my stuff. I'm just getting over bronchitis so my vocals sound a bit rough but it was my only time to record

[ERICWAGNERSLUCID]

Accept this invitation to review my originally written songs, performed in my basement and recorded on my MacBook.

Love,

Eric Wagner.

[JustSebon]

Hey you guys, this is really no spam. I am a musician (singer/songwriter) from Germany and I am searching for attention by promoting myself on youtube. I think that that´s the best way to find some people who maybe like the things that I do.

So … have a look at my account and listen to a few songs written by me (for example „Be alone“ or „Daisy Chain“) Would be great, thank you :-)

[SaphiraElektra]

This is rather of a clever song, I enjoyed it. Changes are important.

[blackroses3425]

its good. don't listen being a song writter myself don't give up and don't stop singing and ppl let him work hes trying to figure it out if you can't see and some songs are ment to be strummed like he used them. good job.

[thrashd11]

Sounds good.

[nickynick463]

i kinda like it. not a huge fan but you have talent for sure. post some more songs dude.

I posted a couple of my own for everyone on youtube so let me know what you think . peace.

[MrJonesyboy76]

i like it cool man

[winmacdon]

Very nice. I liked the voice and guitar playing. I'm not sure what separates the just plain talented and the rich and famous talented; but, I think the potential is there. On stage experience, more varied songs and guitar playing, hard work and a little luck and I can visualize you making it over the top. Keep at it. Best of luck.

[joedanielsmusic]

well done! i like the chorus especially! 

[Rene02021972]

great song

[777devoted]

great talent !!!,,,keep up the great work.

[Bettyswagon]

catchy song! I like the lyrics, I like song writing too

[wendellpeek]

Great strong vocals! You got the ritght pick-up, too...

[dandesantismusic]

Very nice video! Thanks so much for sharing. Check out my page as I am a musician as well and I'd love for you to hear my stuff. Healthy and happy 2010 to you filled with awesome music!!!! :-)

[jimmyyyrulz]

some nice moments but..

[RedeemingFeatures]

a tad ru of the mill musically but good to listen to,

[natebennett]

yeah..gotta admit bro your left hand looks bored. =P

but kudos, gotta respect musicians

[peacetrainwreck]

Great sound and song!

[dbaca43]

Great Song! I thought it rocked!

[turoniner]

C'mon people...let's challenge ourselves here. The chorus chords are just the same tired first position chords that people have been strumming for sixty years. And the right hand techniques are very straightforward. Keep working, Jason. Explore some different chords, different tunings, put down the pick and try finger-style. Your voice is okay but the lyrics could be a lot more interesting. I'm not trying to be a dick, just gonna be honest and this is pretty ordinary.

[yousuperpussy]

@turoniner this is so fucking true! about all youtube so called singer-songwriters.

[OhCapitalBand]

@turoniner I appreciate this comment and its not even my video. I would love if everyone on youtube was as insightful and honest as you. If you could do the same for our videos it'd be much appreciated!! Cheers ;)

[equalmatter]

@turoniner Wow, troll much??

[turoniner]

@equalmatter HA well seeing as how this comment was two years ago, has 27 thumbs up and multiple comments in agreement, I'd say it isn't trolling at all. Just stating the facts. When someone is gonna make mediocre music, I'm going to be there with a youtube comment. Or were you referring to yourself and how you're clearly trolling right now? That must be it.

[sebradius]

@turoniner I would agree with you for the most part, but then again, there are so many great songs being played with simple chords progressions (most of my favorites are) So If Ray Lamontagne or Damien Rice can write so many fantastic songs using basic first position chording, why should others suddenly strive for complexity?Complexity does not always make it better, in fact, I think simplicity is the hallmark of some of the best songs ever written

[turoniner]

@sebradius Yes, some of the greatest songs in history have featured simple guitar work. But you're talking about a more than sixty year history of songwriting. In 2011 it's becoming more difficult to pull off great songwriting without being innovative instrumentally. Furthermore, the simple songs you're referencing featured brilliant vocal melodies and universal messages rendered cleverly. These lyrics are trite and self-centered, and the melodies are boring. So there ya go.

[thomps92]

@turoniner OK. So yes he's using the the same 'ol basic chords that Poison, Green Day, Matt Nathanson, Howie Day use, but WHOA............wait a minute........the song sounds original and unique. I just checked out your page and don't see any of your own songs. SO why don't you write a song.....come up with something meaningful......put some chords down and let's hear it TOUGH GUY!!!!!

[thomps92]

@turoniner Furthermore......when writing a song the tone of the song i.e. the chords have to fit the mood you are trying to convey, then the strum pattern has to fit the tempo of the song. So what MR. AYRES has done is written an original song which sounds like NO other song I have ever heard before to convey his message and meaning. I be if YOU hadn't been able to see the chords he was playing YOU wouldn't even be able to identify and name which chords and notes he was playing. JUSY SAYIN'

[turoniner]

@thomps92 HAHA. This song doesn't sound unique at all, but that's adorable that you think so. I'm sure with ears like those you'd make a great talent scout. Just kidding!! You'd lose a record label LOTS of money, because you clearly have no idea what "original" sounds like. And don't worry, my songs are coming...

[thomps92]

@turoniner GREAT! I can't wait to hear your original songs. I'll be the first to critique them for you. It's gonna be interesting to see you NEVER using G, C, or D chords. BTW, write something original that's NOT about love, death, society, lies, money or fame. Don't worry I am sure you would be a great pawn for a record label. Best luck MATE.

[turoniner]

@thomps92 Wow, what an angry little fellow you are! Don't worry, I can promise you that there isn't any patty cake first position strumming in my songs, and I take great pleasure in romping through unfamiliar lyrical territory. Also, I love how you've gotten so worked up about a terribly trite song that begins with "how do I find my way / if it's too dark to see." You really should choose more interesting music to defend so vehemently...well, see ya later!

[viccipricki]

great:)

[Wootdangle]

wow, this is a great advert for ellis, his guitar sounds absolutely great.

it's a nicely sung, if somewhat average song, though. i still like it.

[AcousticHaim]

You're amazing dude !

You did an excellent job !

[stevejohnmusic]

I'm a singer songwriter myself and I have to say: This is great! good luck!

[54spiritedwill54]

awesome tunes! great vid

[bunchie1966]

It suffers from the same drawback as the "Ghosts" one. Nice tempo changes, but the chords are so run-of-the-mill. Listen to songs by the likes of the Beatles, James Taylor, Carole King, the Eagles. There are hundreds of young guitar-playing hopefuls on YouTube and very few of their songs stand out. Most of them consist of three or four major and minor chords - and this is no exception.

[primitivesoul]

ummm... Bob Dylan....

[MelLiddie]

Thats good. I like it.(:

[nosibor]

WELCOME TO A GREAT BIG FAMILY

[tangofinale]

[Elverboy2121]

Hey sounds good will you check out my song? How do you get people to check out your music?

[plcoomer]

Hi folks,

I'm a songwriter and just finished a new song its here on Youtube. Pleae come take a look.

Thanks

Coomer

[artandfashiondiva]

Well i think your voice is great just one part in the song- too many words with not enough room for them and they are forced out- but everything else is awesome- i kind of picture this big build up in the background instruments like the end of how far we've come by rob thomas- LOVE IT!

[Danition89]

good song, keep practising ure voice m8. it aint nearly as good as needed yet :P

[AMS129998]

[LondonFalcons]

[poeticjustice9]

Its the pickup, like on an electric guitar. It makes it able to be plugged into an amp.

[LondonFalcons]

[keen125]
