@jroach96 @gingerbug13 Thank you both for sharing, that was interesting! lol I don't mind criticism every once in a while, but you didn't have to spam it 3 times and look like a jerk. You may be right, and I still thank you for listening. Gingerbug, thank you for defending me anyways =) Glad to see that you really care about my music, and that makes me feel good. I know that not everyone is going to like what I do, but please understand I do this for fun, not for money. Thanks everybody!

[hobbez9186]

@vclaire917 Thank you =)

[UpYoursNerd]

can you give me tabs for this song or just make a guitar lesson for this?

[hobbez9186]

@UpYoursNerd I will see what I can do, thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[Hsuzie25214]

@UpYoursNerd

OMG, can you please sent one to me too? I would love to learn this.

[edo870]

excellent cover... any chance you could list the strumming pattern for a beginner like me?

[hobbez9186]

@edo870 Sorry, but my ability to describe strumming isn't exactly honed, but I've had many people tell me that they have been watching my video repeatedly and following along. I always love to hear that, but I encourage you to give it a shot!

[MelloYelloAZNstyle]

pretty cool... i hope you don't mine me using your version to practice...

[hobbez9186]

@MelloYelloAZNstyle Nope, that's awesome =)

[ernestolopez23]

[evilpennywise1]

Really Good Job!!!!  :D

[hobbez9186]

Thank you everyone! I am starting to have a hard time keeping up with all the comments, so I'm going to have to just say to all of you at once that I really appreciate the feedback and hope you continue following my videos! Thank you all so much again! =)

[frazilly1]

good cover but got off key a couple times

[MariiAndFlurry]

You sing good (: .

[FLAGENHAW]

wow good job! :) *thoroughly  impressed*

[mystasher]

i think you have the best cover here on youtube..next to the RJCOVERS cover.

[hobbez9186]

@mystasher Good to hear, cause that's a very well rehearsed video that I'm jealous of them having two guitars and two sets of vocals... that would be sweet... lol but I'll take second, thank you very much!

[1azn]

Great job buddy!!

[MrRegiwegi]

your perfect!

[RicLyTheAudioAddict]

good job, just work on your pitch

[hobbez9186]

@RicLyTheAudioAddict Audio addicts are usually very critical, thank you for being gentle =) I knew it wasn't studio album perfect when I put it up, but it grows on me every time I check the comments and hear it again. I've ran through this many times since then and even though I can do better, I'm not replacing my most watched video, lol. Maybe I'll find somebody that can play it with me, or get better editing software and and record more layers. Anyways, I meant to just say thank you, =)

[JulieAnn628]

Great job! Very nice! You sound great and have great timing...Work on the high note though! Hehe

[hobbez9186]

@JulieAnn628 Thank you, and the constructive criticism is always welcome. =)

[ladybug9402]

You can convert this to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[hobbez9186]

@MegaDeafening You can also hear me play at home... What's with these posts?

[Yab122]

is that a clothes pin?

[hobbez9186]

@Yab122 Rofl, no, but that made me smile =) It's just a regular old plastic capo, it just has a gold-ish color to it that apparently looks like wood, lol.

[beautyrevolution96]

Wow this is actually really good!

[hobbez9186]

@beautyrevolution96 Thanks =P

[tigermaul11]

@detlefmolt2112 Thank you!

[anubisus3711]

Umm I love this song and you did amazing. Also your voice is really good. And you don't look old, btw.

[hobbez9186]

@anubisus3711 Lol well that's good =) .  And thank you, I appreciate the compliment!

[qtipswanson]

Just heard this for the first time on the radio and had to you tube it. great cover man

[hobbez9186]

@qtipswanson Thank you, I'm really happy to see that people unfamiliar with the song like it too. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[nathansmnrs]

Fantastic! This is how I imagined the song being played on acoustic guitar. Strum pattern and tempo perfect! Vocals not far off at all in my opinion; they just differ from the original. I sound like I am critiquing. oh I am.. Bravo!

[hobbez9186]

@nathansmnrs Cool, those are all great things to hear!  I'm happy to see that you took the time to really listen to the song and spell out your opinion so kindly. I don't mind when people dislike something I've done, but I love it when people take the time to tell me that they really enjoyed it. Makes this hobby of mine all that more rewarding, and I thank you! =)

[darkkclovers]

ah.. the singing is really offf : /

but nice job, and also the guitar part is well done

[hobbez9186]

@darkkclovers That's like a compliment sandwich with both pieces of bread on the bottom. lol thank you for your honesty though, I knew that if I did something a little different not everyone would love it, but thanks for listening and leaving your mark!

[rogersal]

this is pretty good

[hobbez9186]

@rogersal Thank you. =)

[fyremunky]

ROCKIN' JOB!!!

[hobbez9186]

@fyremunky Woo Hoo, all caps compliment FTW! lol, I appreciate you taking the time to say that, thank you!

[megahorny13]

[hobbez9186]

@spazboy1422 Thank you! =)

[MusicCrazy686]

you kinda remind me of jon walker from the young veins. previously the bassist from Panic! At the DIsco...

[hobbez9186]

@MusicCrazy686 Thank you? lol I'm a little curious in what way I remind you of him, but I assure you that I am going to promptly google an understanding to that statement =). I used to like Panic! At the Disco but haven't heard them in years, and am not familiar with the Young Veins but I'll have to check them out!

[MusicCrazy686]

@hobbez9186 haha im not sure! but you do :) im obsessed with P!ATD. its kinda sad really

[hobbez9186]

@MusicCrazy686 lol

[PhillyProductions12]

good job man! a lot of emotion. squeezed out those high notes nice too bro. check out my cover? keep singin and playin, doin what you love 

[hobbez9186]

@PhillyProductions12 Thank you, and I will do just that (both watch your cover and keep doin' what I love). I appreciate the feedback, it really does mean a lot to me!

[renoalex1]

Tried too hard.

[hobbez9186]

@renoalex1 Perhaps. I think its more that I didn't try hard enough. Thanks for being honest though, I appreciate the feedback ;)

[darinan3]

you don't suck lick some do

[hobbez9186]

Thank you all so much! Haven't checked the comments in a little but, but you are all so kind and I thank you for your support! As the summer winds down and my job demands less of my time I hope to be posting on a more regular basis again. Keep the comments coming though, and don't forget to let me know any other songs you want to hear! I love everyone's input!

[OMGcat21]

1000/5

[winningtolose]

this was a great cover

[VivaLaChloe96]

HOLY SMOKES! I am so impressed right now! Keep it up!(:

[SamIAm92]

Wow, that was really good! Keep it up! :]

[Mrvideooman]

wow very well done sir

[BURTONBOARDER70]

A little different but I liked it pretty good

[bunchiebutt]

some wrong chordes but eitherwiess good

[HiNico295]

this was a really really good cover, i was impressed

[hobbez9186]

@HiNico295 Thank you!

[tzarlo69]

that was good.

[hobbez9186]

@tzarlo69 Awesome, glad you liked it!

[manyourcoolchris]

very nice can u post the tabs you used?

[hobbez9186]

@manyourcoolchris Sure,

Basically step one is Capo on the first fret. Then the chord rotation for most of the song is just "E, B, A, B, A"

The chorus is just "E, B, A"

Should be pretty easy to play along with my video to get it down.

As I commented a few minutes ago, I do not use a pick when I play this song, so if your looking for the same sound just try to work on it using your nails and palm. Its a technique that I use in a ton of songs, mainly it keeps the beat for me but it sounds cool =)

[hobbez9186]

@manyourcoolchris You know what I forgot there is another chord in there during the chorus. On the repeat after "Take a bite of my heart tonight" it goes back to E, but then instead of going to B it goes to G# (basically just play the bar chord for a regular G and slide the whole thing up one fret) and then back down to the A, and then to B.

So the whole chorus is "E, B, A - E, G#, A, B"

Hope that helps!

[jwdoggs]

Yeah really good did u even play with a pick mire videos

[hobbez9186]

@jwdoggs I play without a pick 99% of the time. The only song that I can think of that I use one for is when I play "Do You Remember" by Jack Johnson. Its basically me and my wife's "song" and I love to play it but it pretty much requires a pick. Everything else I prefer not to. Thanks for the question!

[jessmeup32]

You're really good(:

[hobbez9186]

@jessmeup32 Thanks!

[lyle2]

dude this is great!!

[hobbez9186]

@lyle2 I'm glad you liked it! Thank you!

[kayleighannas]

the high notes were ok but the rest was Awesome!!!!

[hobbez9186]

@kayleighannas Finally, some constructive criticism! Yea I had been playing for a long time that day and by the time I got to this recording I was a little strained, but I felt it was "good enough" to keep. =)

I have a pretty wide range from low to high, but the high's are much harder to maintain and I should have either waited til the next day to go again, or just done it earlier. Thank you so much for your honesty though, and I'm glad you liked my video!

[12thLeveIWizardKing]

Really great cover! I looove this song. =)

[hobbez9186]

@12thLeveIWizardKing Thank you so much!
