  • Fantastic job

  • YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB!! LOVE IT!!

  • Mind blowing, and some instructions for the ones willing to try hard enough to learn. Amazing playing!

  • 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 :)

  • You owned this..Great job.

  • awesome cover man

  • 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.

    FB

  • wow!!!!! WOW! u sound EXACTLY like him OMG!!!

  • 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!!

  • Really great man, this song cuts me to the core

  • 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.

  • Great playing and singing

  • No, it's fantastic. I was being a dick. I really enjoyed it.
