    I`ve listened to a lot of video`s you put on the Tube, I must say what you and your compagnions make is absolute high classed & top shelf

  • nice... I'm a TW collector myself! :-)

    cheers, ww

  • Even bought "Alice" on vinyl.

  • Hey man this is freakin AMAZING!!! You play this unbelievably, better then the man himself in my opinion. Is there any way you could post the chords you use?

  • thanks you!

    Its all basic D major chords, D , G & A, and a Em7 somewhere in the chorus.... its a simple structure, but maybe a bit difficult to get the melody woven in...

    ww

  • heh, that was reeeeeally nice!!!

  • That's gorgeous.

  • beautiful, thanks

  • Can't match Waits for poignancy, but damn, you come close. Great stuff.

    Ron

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • haha, youtube has a pause button and you can see everysingle movement he makes... just watch it and pause it if you want to learn so bad?

  • Very nice played but:

    Since over a year the people asked you for the tabs. Is it simply arrogance or why don´t you tab it for all of us?

  • well ... call it whatever you like, but I dont feel indepted to do tabs for anyone.

    nor do I feel the need to justify myself for doing or not doing tabs.

  • do you have a tab for this mate? i would love to learn it. it sounds bloody fantastic.

  • Super nicely done!

  • Exquisite! A most sensitive and beautiful translation. This musician has elevated a great piece of music into a work of art.

  • Beautiful!! My favourite Tom Waits song - Thank You.

  • chido men!!

  • wow this is sick dude! nice job!

  • Thank you for sharing. You have done a marvelous job. It is so beautiful.

    pleasure to watch. Quality

  • Whoah, that was something else!

    Any tabs about?

  • sorry, no tab ... cheers, ww

    :-)

  • Love the arrangement - beautiful playing. So many pesky tab questions . . . here's mine, what's the tuning? open/drop D? whole thing down a step? would love to try and recreate this at home. Keep it up

  • Drop D - Genius. . . Can't get this song out of my head now! Thank you once again

  • I love this song...and love your version of it!

  • What a beautiful interpretation of my beloved song! Greetings from Vienna!

    Greetings from Tier, germany

    Christian

  • greetings back from Aachen!

    :-)

  • Beautiful. If I were to venture one tiny critique- it would be to slow it down. Without ballast, absolutely. Now... let it breathe.

  • thanks!

    I see your point & I played it much slower before and increased the tempo for this recording on purpose.

    I had the feeling that a slower more rubato playing made it a bit kitschy.

    Guess its just a matter of taste ... :-)

    ww

  • Markedly moving arrangement, capturing the Waits-style - performed soulful without unessential ballast. Great job!

  • "without unessential ballast" ... I like that!

    :-D

    thank you!

  • Beautiful...

  • very nice.

  • after spending a long time looking at the tom waits vids i came acros your vid 10out of10 sounds fab thank you

    ww

  • Videos like this make the world a better place!!!

    beautiful guitar sound.

  • Very Good!! I ain´t even miss the lyrics...they are in your play...

  • thank you! :-)

  • I am listening to Tom Waits Songs til the early 80´s but i think your potentials are far beyond his songs...so go your own way!

  • One of these years with enough practice I might play as well as you,

    (thats if the pine box hasn't caught up with me)

    But I'll always enjoy listening to your excellent talents.... Thanks WW

    very nicely done, enjoyed it :)

    Cheers :)

  • thank you.

    sorry, I dont have a tab for this....

    cheers, ww

  • wow...obergeil!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm wary of Waits covers - Tom's one of a kind, he's a tough act to follow. You, my friend, have indeed captured the spirit of this song (in my humble opinion). Play on!
