[MrRBTJR]

That is a just a beautiful cover of one of Brian Wilson's masterpieces! Thanks for sharing your talent to us!

[kevinjconroy]

an unusual choice, i commend you for trying it, and look out beautiful it worked out!!! now i have to learn to play this....i always loved this song....some songs are just naturally more effective on solo guitar, and this is one of them....it certainly works....wonderful, really enjoyed how well you play this

[troubleclef]

@kevinjconroy

thanks!

[xyzpdq1122]

Great stuff, very warmly-played.



[JordanIndiePop]

I have been a fan of your for some time!! I would love to hear a studio cut of this... :)

my voice is kinda trashy but thanks for the karaoke fun! ahahahha

[SaraVaughanfan]

Breathtaking. Man, I could watch your channel for hours. Unbelievable.

[Augmata]

Breathtaking. It's been some time since I heard a guitar played that smoothly.

[ryogaskate]

Lovely cover mate

[tomorrowneverknows94]

I know I already commented, but this is still so good every time! :) Never stop playing guitar.

[d15er]

feel flow

s...you're soo good!

[Erikz04]

Nice!

[tomorrowneverknows94]

One of my absolute favorite Beach Boys songs!!!! This is incredible! So beautiful!!! Keep it up!! :)

[oldbump]

Yup !

[hugh9mac]

You put this in a free running competition? WHY?!?!

[NinjaTaiken]

Is the tuning youre playing Db A Db Gb Bb Eb?

Hold on, make that Db G# Db Gb Bb Eb maybe?

[troubleclef]

@NinjaTaiken

tune the whole guitar down a half step , then tune the bass down another whole step. i called it "drop D flat"

[NinjaTaiken]

@troubleclef

Thanks a lot, thats what I thought :)

This is a truly beautiful cover, would love to play it myself

[TheIntruders]

@NinjaTaiken

Learn how to play it without changing the tuning. Now that would be impressive.

[NinjaTaiken]

Is the tuning youre playing Db A Db Gb Bb Eb?

[krol0909]

Wow, what a great song and cover. Thanks for posting this!

[troubleclef]

@krol0909

thank YOU

[mrchristill]

Stumbled on your music searching for old Dennis Wilson Beach Boys tunes. Your sensitive playing of this song made me cry. I hadn't shed tears to a song in quite a while. So lovely. I've now tonight listened to about 20 of your tunes: the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Bowie, some of the bossa nova... Such emotional playing. Five stars.

[troubleclef]

@mrchristill

thanks a lot. be sure to subscribe, if you feel like it

[youddothesame87]

is this in standard tuning?

[youddothesame87]

@youddothesame87 nvm

[heifdogg]

This is so amazing. I come back to this video every couple months. It's all outstanding but i really like how you interpret that cool strings part.

[XJoSeX969]

Muy Bueno, Felicitaciones!!

[JordanIndiePop]

The Beach Boys are my favourite band and tonight I am not feelin' so well. Listeing to you play this song so beautifully has given me some peace. Thank you!

Jordan

[4amstuckonearth]

Hawking and Thorne still have a vote out ....

but you have mine

[adrianofromtheouters]

i didn't think possible that bridge played just by ear...and i have an absolute ear...that bridge is absolutely out of human brain.

you are a master, man.

i completely adore you.

[jesusverbo]

Would Be nice if you can make videos of everyone of the songs of "Pet sounds"

[McScootershooter]

ok fine... i"m a little late discovering you, but, now I am madly in love. Any chance you live in the midwest?

[McScootershooter]

ok fine... i"m a little late discovering you, but, now I am madly in love.

[JordanIndiePop]

this is brilliant!!! thank you so very much. it's great to see some real talent these days, even if it be on youtube alone.

love and mercy!!

[Zargon314]

you nailed the string section! FANTASTIC!

[TheKunig]

beautiful rendition of of a beautiful song

[allthisbroken]

q lindo tema..

[fadeaway2112]

I favorited one of your videos, I believe, 3 or 4 years ago. I was listening to Pet Sounds and have rediscovered your great playing. Well done.

[troubleclef]

@fadeaway2112

thanks a lot

[neo1559]

good god that was incredible!

[missfred22]

simply gorgeous.

[ponkadolz]

sir, i hope you don't mind me asking but how old are you when you started playing? i wanna learn your style but i'm afraid it's a little too late for me to learn..sad

[MrBerenstain]

@ponkadolz It's never too late. Take advantage while your still alive and have fun! :)

[misshoolie47]

ck out 'Love of my life ' by troubleclef.......beautiful.

[misshoolie47]

ck out ' Something' by troubleclef......

[mateusromanp]

Amazing arrangement!

[gmsalves]

very charming, having sex with your guitar

[blackhawkwxfan]

Segovia might even smile at that

[blackhawkwxfan]

Brian would like!

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

dude. i need to know how to play this

[classicgreats]

Fantastic as usual! I love your style that brings out the meaning of the melody: hammering, sliding and picking.

[Ernesto82]

This is pretty amazing!

Hey Sir, will you ever put all this in a CD?

[Oemenia]

Thankk you very much!

[nettuno15]

la chitarra la suoni benissimo, miiiiiii

[hateandkill]

...and that was the medicin for make me feel better... Listen you.

Thanks

[dhptube]

Yes, that was really nice. As a legitimate

guitar player, I can say you play some great stuff.

Heard your version of Till There Was You

earlier and it was great too. I played it back

and sang with it here alone. Hope you don't

mind.

[phillip357]

THATS A NICE BEARD!!!

[lukester461]

well done sir. that's a sick 000, great tone

[guarani527]

you are the master

[ladiyana123]

can i know ur full name? i wanna make u my idol to success in music....bless me...

[Mack6667]

I am your fan.

[TheFifteenthStep]

Harmony of this sophistication has been all but lost in pop music today.

[AsSeenOnCCTV]

Well, since Beach Boys was unbeatable in that area (with Beatles as close contesters), you're right. But there is good harmonies today too. Listen to Fleet Foxes for example.

[AsSeenOnCCTV]

Sorry, just realized you didn't necessarily mean VOCAL harmonies.

[Mack6667]

Nice.....

There are two instrumentals that may I suggest.

One is "Magies's Theme" from the Thorn Birds I believe conducted by Henry Mancini, and the other is "Two for the Road" by Henry Mancini.

I think you play beautifully

[GreenMusic1]

This is such a great arrangement of a very, very complex song. Nice work, sir.

[tufftexan]

WIsh I could play like this. Very nice!

[monkeysnail]

Wow! Such an astounding interpretation of my favorite Beach Boys song. Brian Wilson was an amazing songwriter, this song will always hold a dear place in my heart.

Martha, if you're watching, I will always love you! This one's for you!

[SurferJoe1]

Living to hear you do "Warmth Of The Sun"...

[smileysmile1]

:) Bravo

[troubleclef]

thanks

[zakalwe101]

Man, you just made a sweet song sweeter. Such delicacy, lovely.

[oldbump]

Don't talk. Play that guitar.

[lejoe48]

master

[eluxoso]

I think there's a wrong chord on "I can SEE so much in your eyes". It's a pretty nice cover though.

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Yes I noticed it too. No offence as this is a lovely interpretation of an equisitve Brian wilson song. I think the chord is hard to hear as Brian uses alot of different notes in the bass other than the tonic.

John Hunter Phillips

[erikviking]

Man you kick butt!

[mExpulsado]

Sos un capo!!

[lexingtonsband]

hey, this is eric here, from warnakey's beach boys blog.

Again, so brilliant. I love your videos immensely.

[0ldfinger]

This is just so, so lovely. Can I ask how you record your guitar?

[troubleclef]

Creative Labs Ultra webcam $100

older videos: Logitech USB mic (model AK5370) $30

newer videos: Audio-Technica model AT3035 $300

Windows Movie Maker (came with the mediacenter pc i own)

so as you can see i certainly don't do anything fancy. i'd like to have a camcorder and then mix a fine audio track on to higher res video but haven't had the time.

[0ldfinger]

Thanks! It sounds so beautiful and warm - whatever you're doing, it works!

[iamlameduck]

Unfortunate you paid $300 for the AT3035... you could get a much better LD microphone for that price! Great video, certainly my favorite of the lot!

[tevian1986]

Again you capture the beauty of The Beach Boys, your fantastic 5star

[CorkOnTheOceanMusic]

Wow perfect song for solo guitar. The dynamics and moods come across brilliantly.

[RyanPlaysTheGuitar]

This is amazing. Really did the song justice!

[BjornDienstbier]

This is really, really, really beautiful! I'm a big Beach Boys fan and I love to play their songs on my guitar...but what would I do without you?.... You really make me happy :-) Thank you for offering me the opportunity to learn to play this beautiful song with such a great arrangement! Have a wonderful chistmas time. (I already got my present, now ;-) )Greetings from Hamburg, Germany

[troubleclef]

Danke. thanks.  glad you liked it so much. cheers.

[frapala61]

I've discovered you 30 minutes ago going ramdomly on youtube and i'm very shoked about your beautiful arrangments!

Bravo!

[Rentaghost76]

plese to give me the tab? i can pay you ok?

[ilsy74]

Amazing!

[kmcza]

super thank you, gonna learn it.

[angeldeathknight999]

you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[tayloreh]

one of my favourite songs... especially when its done like this...!

[tayloreh]

btw, do you (can you) have a tab for it? I could look at the video and figure it out though if that poses a problem.

[troubleclef]

thanks. i don't write stuff out. if you're really motivated then doing it yourself is better than getting a tab from me. with a tab you could say "ok, well now i've got that and can learn it some day". but by doing it you're learning it *now*.

hint: tune your guitar a half step flat. compare the original to what i'm doing and also listen to any demo tracks you can find for this. there's one on youtube.

You may find things you that can be improved. there's definitely room for improvement.

[Hoffmansayswhy]

Beautifully played arrangement of a very beautiful song.Thanks.

[troubleclef]

thanks

[MeatMachine2]

youtube is good for something. also, im going to get better at this instrument because of you.

[troubleclef]

Brilliant, Toni.

Didn't know this song before and searched on YT. Don't know why this Beach Boy tune didn't reach me in my younger days. But you did a very fine arrangement of this wonderful song. Again you got all my stars :)

Best regards,

Bernd

Amazing. More Pet Sounds! I'm DTGuitarX by the way, long time YouTube-internet fan haha.

This song was being played during a bad car accident that my fiancee and I were in...so needless to say it always scares the crap out of me now.
