If you ever get a chance to read this, I want you to know that watching this got me through a really hard time. We've never met, but you've made a huge impact on my life. Thank you.
Im really jealous, because everytime I sing, my mother and friends always say that im out of tune, but I respect people who can sing using their heart...like you :)
THE TRUTH- when I first saw your picture I though this guy looks like he is ready to kill someone - However, this is the best cover by far. - people with hats look nicer so put on a hat and don't wear black and give yourself a 'band' name so we can follow your other music.
Pretty much what everyone else said. I've prob watches and read the tabs for the last 2 hrs. I'm pretty new to playing but I'd like to think it's coming along nicely. Thanks for posting the chords!!
I would rather listen to you sing it and play it than the good man who wrote it, I take nothing from him but you sing it with conviction and hit all the notes. Awesome bud.
You can just count me as another "good job"-sayer, but that was an excellent cover and I think its amazing that you even included the "how to" info. This is how I think youtube should be. Again, thank you for the cover of Cath second to none and thank you for the tab/tut.
@hosway1992 Its not a compliment to say he sounded just like him dude. He did good... but thats not why it was good. Jeez... who wants to sound like someone else? Oh thats right every fucker that trys out for american idol.
You did a great job man, and i know that feeling of that one little fuck up, really its not a big deal, it was fantastic, and I aspire to be able to play it like you are in the future.
You should tab this out since I have yet to see anyone tab a better version. you obviously know it and guys like me can barely muster the energy to post a youtube text resonse, let alone take the time to tab a song.
Fantastic job
