To be honest...I didn't expect your voice to sound like that...not being mean or nothing but I thought it would be more manly....but dude you have a great voice, especially for this song...thumbs up!!
My God, how do you sing like that??? I'm from Brazil, discovered about you today, already a HUGE fan!!! You're amazing, keep up please, love your versions!!! AMAZING!!!
@rockerduff1231 practice.. start buy landing it like a bar chord and only play the top then ur fingers will get used to it and ull start landing the middle finger.
That was just amazing! You are so talented. Listen to your sister and sing your butt off! Just get it recorded and posted here though for us to enjoy.
you are the shit...not you are shit ..but the shit...frigging brilliant my son....perfect voice for beatles song...thanks michele for making this happen
I was more than a bit apprehensive about clicking play, but I needn't have been - that was excellent. No dead Beatles will be turning in their graves, and the live ones won't sue.
During the phase of "I want to turn, you, on,..." What chords or drop down notes are you hitting? You do a great job on this secrion of the song. Basic chord and then the individual strings and frets or notes would be a welcome answer. If you don't reply that's OK. It will just take me longer to figure it out. A close up of your fingers at that point would be really easy to grab.
@mikemassedotcom LOL don't listen to @ChlorineHeart - You nailed it brother. And you're right the original guitar is much simpler. You kept it close to the orig and your voice is spot on. Throw an English accent and you couldn't tell the difference. Nice job.
@ChlorineHeart "Guitar is a little simple" ???? Are you kidding me with that comment? You watch this and the only thing that comes to mind is making a comment about his guitar playing? Well I guess there is that free speech thing....so here is me exercising my right as well..... something tells me there is something about you that is a "little simple" as well.
I watched MANY covers of MANY songs on YouTube, and this is probably in the top 10. Very good job, those perfectly tuned "aaaaaaah" impressed me. Your voice is perfect for Beatles' songs, also.
Good job! The Beatles rule! Hey Mike...and to all those watching this video, who are clearly Beatles fans, help my folk rock band, Cast Iron Shore, get views with our originals and covers (two beatles songs), and subscribe to our page here on youtube....it helps us grow a fan base on "whooznxt.com, and therefore help us earn a big time gig. Be our friend...don't make me beg.
John Lennon himself would be impressed. RIP and fuck that undercover agent who killed him for getting involved with political power around the world. The answer to 1984 is 1776. Infowars.com
Great Job Man.... Check out Chris Cornell at the Keswick 4/10/11 doing this acoustic, I saw it live.. I think he stole it from you!!.. He does a cool slide thing after the "I love to turn you on" part.. I play this out now too and people love it!!
OUTSTANDING! This is so, so good! It's the best version, without the rather annoying overdose of instruments by the Beattles, this is how it should be.
WOW, just love that song even more now, really really brilliant, well done, im a massive fan of beatles so i was wanting to hate this but i really loved it
Mike, Your voice is amazing and as a former disc jockey, it is one of the best I have ever heard. Salt Lake City is lucky to have you in its backyard. You are tremendous!!
Mike I have to tell you.This is a great cover .This is how this song should be played. There are those here on youtube that have covers of this song with all sorts of electronica and so forth.To me however there is nothing worse than an overproduced song. Well done
i close my eyes and listen yo john lennon omg a perfect cover
