King Of Wishful Thinking (acoustic cover)

[xavier13311]

I didn't know Steve Carell could play the guitar so well.

[Theminimumbrothers]

Awesome man. Loved it

[erigonsnest]

Love your cover more than the original and thats saying something! Is there a tab anywhere for all the embelishments you did? I'd love to try and learn this :)

[Gyiorhad]

@erigonsnest Thanks so much! I haven't tabbed this out myself, honestly I just kinda went for it, so anything I'm doing is probably just off the cuff.

[erigonsnest]

@Gyiorhad I dont know whether to be disappointed or amazed, bottom line nice cover :)

[JDolezal2009]

[Gyiorhad]

@rainfan42 Thank you! Have you heard my original music yet?

[MosterrrCola]

GREAT COVER



[Gyiorhad]

@MosterrrCola Thank you!

[moredancelesstalk]

I am very defensive when it comes to this song since I grew up listening to it. I am pretty adamant about not liking many of the covers out there and have no problem voicing it. That being said, your version is amazing!

[Gyiorhad]

@moredancelesstalk Thanks for the wonderful compliment!

[scipfish]

5 people didn't like this ????

[Gyiorhad]

@scipfish right?  what's up wit dat?

[Gyiorhad]

K, so I know lot of you want the chords I use for this tune, so here's some of em!

1st of all, I capo the 2nd frett

The verse is just /Em/C/D/G/ then I walk the G down to the Em again

The pre-chorus (if I don't listen to the talk...) is /Am7/C/

Then the Chorus is /G/C/D/Em/

That's the basics of it. I'll include more details soon!

[kicks7587]

@Gyiorhad Would be great to see the details! Thanks for letting us know the chords!

[jrt1255]

awesome !!!! what chords do you use??

[claymal55]

This is really great Mr. Carrell ^_^

[Gyiorhad]

[Gyiorhad]

@cjs33139 Hey! Thanks so much man. I really appreciate that!

[gmsoftball2009]

Great job, dude!

[rhinobaby]

I never liked this song before. Excellent version.

[nyknicks012]

absolutely amazing version man, I've been trying to figure out the chords which I think I have down, but you could elaborate a little bit on the strumming and hammer ons? I'd love to be able to play this half as well as you do.

[Gyiorhad]

@nyknicks012 Thank you! I'm glad that you like it. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't know what to tell you about the strumming and hammer-ons. I kind just went for it. Maybe I can do another vid with a close up on my hands. I'll think that over. Thanks for watching/listening!

[PatrickRob82]

@Gyiorhad Please do!! I'd love to be able to play this like you!! Who's with me?? Can we get a "thumbs up" vote going here?

[Gyiorhad]

@PatrickRob82 This is very nice to say. Thanks so much.

[pmerk36]

Excellent!!!

[Gyiorhad]

@pmerk36 Thanks so much! Check out my newest video!

[sejmon666]

Amazing!

What drop or tune is your guitar in? (:

[Gyiorhad]

@sejmon666 It's actually in regular tuning, but I capo'd the 2nd frett. My guitar just sounds really bassy for some reason...

[jameldion]

dope.....

[melodysloanvocals]

This is amazing! :)

[gSaOcGgDhGiRl]

is this standard tuning?

[BillBraskyisaSOB]

oh! jab at nfg haha.

[Gyiorhad]

@billlane1000 Hey, thank you very much! It was kind of a whim.

[JoshFonenine]

Really awsome work! You put me in a good mood!

[DBMoon23]

wow, this is great. I really like your arrangement. I can catch most of the chords, do you have this written out anywhere. Can't believe you are the guy from the commercials. I am going to check out your catalog. Keep strumming brother.

[Gyiorhad]

@DBMoon23 Thank you!! I don't have it written out, but if you have a question about a part, I'd be happy to answer it!

[DBMoon23]

wow, this is great. I really like your arrangement. I can catch most of the chords, do you have this written out anywhere. Can't believe you are the guy from the commercials. I am going to check out your catalog. Keep strumming brother.

[MrFootballfreak7]

I realy like it,great voice ;)

[MrFootballfreak7]

I realy like it,great voice ;)

[ParacusiaMU]

Slam on NFG! They're pretty sweet, better than washed out 80s music.

Nudging aside, this is pretty good.

[Gyiorhad]

@ParacusiaMU Thanks man. Everyone needs a good nudging every now and then! hahaha

[jegsveder]

Respect!!!

[Amp822]

NICE man....but I still like the version of new found glory ....^_^ I'll just get your chords

[Johnjayhawk83]

This version blows mine out of the water! Great job!!

[PatrickRob82]

Mine too!!!

[ZumbaQueenSheen]

hey i heard this song on the radio and thought man this would be awesome to do an acoustic cover to....and lo and behold, it has been done!! How can i learn this on the guitar!!?? I'm kind of a beginner but i know all the open chords, help!

[bpeterson81]

great singing. great guitar(ing). Don't be so pretentious. New Found Glory did a great job on it as well.  You're a different genre, so really the comparison is incommensurable.

[whosthedj6]

i cant stop listening to this! your guitar arrangement for this track is amazing!

[tannerthomason]

this is really good, I'm learning the kurt hunter version!

[mannyrinmusic]

This is awesome. Very talented. It was this cover that inspired me to do my own. So thanks for the inspiration!

[pjc5150]

Incredible mate. Love your vocals and your playing!

Keep it up :)

[Gyiorhad]

[jinz91]

[Gyiorhad]

Thanks so much!  New songs are coming soon, I promise!

[PatrickRob82]

Damn damn damn!!! This is simply THE MOST bad ass cover of this song on youtube! PERIOD!!

[Gyiorhad]

Thanks so much! Thanks also for giving my other tunes a listen. That's way cool of you!

[klongs]

You're the man just for covering this song. But great job.

[chicagopride23]

amazing. definitely gives the NFG version a run 4 its money

[myamcc322]

did you tab this yourself or use an online one? either way where can i find them?

awesome cover btw, loved the style you played the song in, very "coffee house" :)

x

[orton0384]

Great cover I like it. The knock on New Found Glory's version was a little unneccesary in my opinion. Seeing as to you used them as a tag for the song. Funny. But yes I do like your cover for a coffee house or sitting on the porch version. Very peaceful, and yet you feel the emotion. Keep it up.

[issabella0523]

hey!! lovin it, lovin it..lovin it!!

i dnt care what other people says but I simply love your version!!

[robertcusick]

love this cover, very talented man

[flapjax4]

[VonGizzle]

Immense vocals m8, love this song, love this cover. Takes me back to school :)

[jerogiman]

[lolipopprincess12]

Great version! Keep it up

[Marcusallova22]

Wow nice man!!!

[PatrickRob82]

[batjoke666]

it's belittled talent like yours that makes the music industry such a fucken bitch.

If your music was on iTunes I wouldn't think twice about buying it. I wish I could find every great musical soul such as yourself and record them, put them in my iPod and keep it in my pocket forever.

I wish you the best my man, you've got yourself a bitchin talent.

Btw, may I please get sheet music or tabs for get animated?

Thank you for your gift

you my friend are awesome

youd be like a second john m. :P

[JustJoey23]

WOAH :D this is fantastic

[Gyiorhad]

Hey Thanks! I appreciate that.

[petetheo]

Kurt, this song really makes me appreciate your music. When I watch one of your originals, I enjoy them but I think I enjoy this more because I can better see the talent you have when you're putting your own spin on someone else's song.

[needdamoreoftht]

haha man you never cease to amaze me ! your Esurance song got me hooked can't wait to hear more.

[Tarron21]

amazing!!!

[Gyiorhad]

Thank you!  Not bad for the Esurance guy eh?

[CasinoStrategies]

Man you so good!!!!

[Gyiorhad]

Thanks!

[fragnugget]

mind sharing your tuning?

[Gyiorhad]

tuning is normal guitar tuning, I just put a capo on it. 2nd frett. chords are basically Em, G, D, C, Am, and such in various orders!

[fragnugget]

very nice i gotta try it :) for some reason i tried it without the capo with the same chords and it didnt sound that deep... i play a taylor but i suppose i could use some new strings its been almost a month either way your very talented :p suprisingly i found you through your commercial :p sounded like an artist i had heard befor with such an original style i had to fide it :p i love "up too late"

[SuperAnnaMusic]

welcome YOUR AWESUM! any room for a violinist?

[rutke467]

Great man!

[jeenyus42484]

your hammers on and off fit perfectly in this cover. and I also like your placement of palm muting. sounds really good. best one I have seen. you and I have really similar playing styles. keep on keepin on.

[shellwithay]
