Jeff Bridges: The Weary Kind

[Lostchord1000]

A true artist! Jeff is a great actor (as everyone knows!) and he's not a bad musical performer either! I love the man!

[TheD0CT0RWH0fan]

I prefer Jeff singing this than Ryan Bingham. Don't know what it is, but Jeff adds a bit more soul to it, sounds more "weary" to me. But that's just my opinion.

[YoNiQe]

I'm pretty sure this is the correct picking pattern in case anyone cares:

-------x------------

x-----------x-------

-----x--------------

B-------B----B----

There are 4 chords in the song: D - A - Bm - G. The chord progression varies from Chorus to Verse, ull be able to figure it out.

The bass (B) always jumps to the base note of the chord. So on A and Bm the "B"'s r on the A string and on G on the E string.

It's a beautiful song.

[Leifbarker18]

Jeff bridges is sucha badass

[maimingbetty]

Takamine. Noice.

[timbbldr]

The people who disliked this are morons.

[RodMagikJohnson]

The Dude abides

[PAULOGMULLER]

Coração Louco ? quem sabe ?

[bluesatsunset]

I love this song, I love the movie....Jeff is the man.

[ImTheSleepingBadger]

Sure he is playing simple chords, but a lot of music is simple. But that is not what matters. Music is feeling, it's an expression of heart and soul. Mr.bridges plays well, his playing resonates within me like an echo. Well done.

[PunkMartyr]

The dude abides

[livelaughsmilesing]

He's my 4th cousin by marriage... Who I have never met...

[JarheadM4A1]

@livelaughsmilesing Lucky bugger

[livelaughsmilesing]

@JarheadM4A1 We've never met tho!

[JarheadM4A1]

@livelaughsmilesing Still, you're related to the man! And what a man he is :D

[blowjoe4511]

best flow on an actor

[AntisocialVirtuoso]

He has a cool tone to his voice. He's a pretty cool dude in general.

[ajrubley]

I wonder if the carpet pissers pissed on his guitar as well....?

[koblaze410]

obama face

[AntisocialVirtuoso]

Not much of a guitar player but I sure do love him as an actor. A Takimine? Really? A rich movie star plays an amature guitar such as a Takimine.

[countryclark58]

@AntisocialVirtuoso Garth brooks uses the brand takamine..amature guitar?

[AntisocialVirtuoso]

@countryclark58 Yes it is. The best Takamines at best are mid range guitars. If I had as much money as Garth Brooks or Jeff, I would get a guitar from a Luthier. Something more high end with better tone. Trust me, a high end guitar sound much nicer then a mid range. It'd get a Greenfield, mabye a Lowden or an Avalon guitar. Takamine and such guitars are just main stream guitars that you can get in the average guitar shop.

[Tubyboulin]

@AntisocialVirtuoso Mainstream guitars you can get in the average guitar shop? So are Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Kramer, ESP, Gretsch, and PRS. That doesn't mean they're not good. 

[TheDeaBunker]

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is my favorite JB movie.

[thebailey67]

@TheDeaBunker that film rocks!

[dip21dip]

nicest hair in hollywood! (no homo)

[MrJiffyPOPPOP]

Happy Birthday

[webkinzlover6295]

I MUST PLAY THIS ON GUITAR! SUCH A LOVELY SONG :*)

[Heriorh]

Jeff rules!

[yourayseven]

He lost a fucking 8 year old dude

[Maru1986ify]

Excelente tema!! Excelente película y un actor de primera.

[hunter70gn]

I have just watched the movie and it was great

[sirgerry]

When I'm 60 I wanna be like him

[dalexandru20]

The way I see this: I am a man looking at a gentleman, not only deserving an oscar but serving as an example in life, I wish i'd be like him.

[djl548]

yo this is the first time ive seen j bridges. hes cool. my youtube account just got hacked. password change justice!

[Rimmmmer]

That's not Jeff Brigdges, It's Bad Blake

[tonyvar12345]

great movie



[redsfanstu]

Nine months later, THE DUDE STILL ABIDES!!!!!!!!

[MichaelNetwork]

A true artist and performer - The man has true ego-less talent.

[staphinfection]

When he plays this in the movie, I get tears....

[Wakissone]

I like his style, simple, plain

Maybe you'll also like "Back on the Road" by Dan Sabathie

[gamefreek41795]

The dude abides.

[AdversaryOfRome]

hes a baw sac

[dejaelyze]

kool!!! like him as an actor and now he's showing his other creative side.

[EBE246]

I know his brother is Beau Bridges, but the other guy i mentioned looks like him,

don't about you guys too me they look alike, cooooooool.

[matilda1491]

Who would have thought it, a great actor with a terrific voice! I love the movie and this song!

[stoopidgy]

This is the text book definition of NOT pussin out. Well done!

[dancingqueeen1000]

i like that..

[JerymeVoidal]

HOW DID HE GET OUT OF TRON :O

[bluesatsunset]

I fucking love this guy.

[vonmoose1]

Hey there's nine more people, I better come with you.

[weakerthan13]

I like his version better than Ryan Binghams, wish this was the version on the soundtrack

[maccus17]

Me: Hey Mom! Can I have a knife?

Mom: Why to kill 34 people?

Me: No, to cut my sandwhich.

I hate generic comments.

[king102uk]

@maccus17 .......what? like your comment?

[maccus17]

@king102uk It's called sarcasm......Learn it. 

[leafvillagemonster]

@maccus17 Good job. In doing so you made a generic "I hate generic comments" comment. lulz

[maccus17]

@leafvillagemonster Ah, yes. I am a member of the bureacracy of hippocraytes. Also, internet terminology, such as "lulz" is an abrreviated term for the common "lol", a generic and popular phrase used commomly on the internet. BITCH.

[leafvillagemonster]

@maccus17 generic insults. lulz

[MrGrevy]

@maccus17 stfu

[stachurek100]

polubłemćię Jeff

[Cheerok]

his voice suits the feeling of the song its the best version of it !

[JorgelShmorgel]

Sounds a bit like eddie vedder.

[epitty1]

fuck ryan bingum!

[thedude9282]

@epitty1 fuck people who don't know how to spell "Bingham" douche.

[igoga2]

Baker boy must play on pyano

[Ryanyarb24]

I met Jeff Bridges at the airport last week, a really, really nice guy. Just want to say hes cool.

[MrGuidfe]

GENIUS¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[StackedSugar]

How the fuck could anyone dislike this... WTF

[HotWaterHam]

@StackedSugar It's bland, uninspired and boring. He's finger picking major chords with lazy vocals. A child could have written this. Hope that helps.

[ProfessorKaos64]

@HotWaterHam I thought it was quite beautiful and full of heart, sorry you feel that way, but to each their own

[StackedSugar]

@HotWaterHam Settle down grandma.

[91fatboy51]

@HotWaterHam You sound like a a very musical type person, can you please post a video response of your playing, we all want to hear your music using minor and 7th progressions, with dimenished chords, with maybe anything else you can show us? thanks we would really appreciate being able to compare your expertise to Jeff's simple major chords, I mean if a child can write and sing his song and music, as you put it I'm sure you can do much better.......or maybe not. That's what I thought!!

[LuckyB71]

@HotWaterHam So how many of YOUR song have been in movie sound tracks? Write one better and post it!

[YouCube7]

The rug really tied the song together.

[MsAnnestube]

hey man...(for Jeff) your e  not only a great actor! thanx for the Dylan cover dude! with a sistaLee hug from the Netherlands now where was that Bob song again...I am a big fan of Dylan...but just a listener.....not like some folks that know more about Bob then he does :) tee hee

[brdlind]

he should follow his dad steps and stick to the sea

[Cristi486]

Some mistakes at the guitar part but this song is the best and it doesn't even matter anymore...

[cassie711]

wish i could've just said thank you to him.

[cassie711]

just saw him last night, august 28, at winery outside seattle. was fantastic,

[Venthoz]

i catered for this dude at a concert he had in Marin :)

he's a tall guy and looked just like he did in TRON, super nice :)

[urban1406]

This is what I love in America...! When She becomes sincere, melancholic and true...

Thank you Jeff for those beautiful moments

[bestrader]

@SelfRevolution37 Eat my ass out, whore! Takamine is amazing.

[rextar23]

All he needs is a white russian to drink

[montybus20]

Uh sir, I just want to say, uh, that we're all--on a personal level, really enormous fans.

[DeterminationForever]

@montybus20 Branded, especially the early episodes, was truly a source of inspiration.

[ptanfara]

ryan bingham is way better

[MFSundahl]

@ptanfara Yeah ofc, Bingham is a musician Bridges is one of the best actors in the world, but i think he did all the singing very good in the movie.

[menneskehandel]

Me: Hey mom! I'm going out!

Mom: What for?

Me: I'm going to beat up the 25 people who does not like Jeff Bridges

Mom: Okay, but bring your coat.

[preiselbaer93]

even if he would have 2000 oscars, no prize can't describe his awesomeness.

thanks jeff for having you as a role model.

[890slay]

You're GREAT Dude!

[rohontsiawaks]

Thank you Jeff, you and your family have truly blessed the rest of us with your talent.

25 PEOPLE ARE BEING VERY UNDUDE TO DISLIKE THE DUDE.

[moviemaker454]

@rohontsiawaks OH DEAR

[lonnyangel]

Jeff Bridges, you don't need an Oscar to prove how cool you are! You are cool inside and out! Keep inspiring....you're one to look up to.

[KittyCarmina]

The music and his voice is so real. Maybe the last real man on earth...

[smcneece625]

He seemed very uncomfortable during this song. He is an actor, def not a musician. Good performance in crazy heart though.

[twix0212]

Epic beard.

[01worldguy01]

one of the best actors now

[gregoryrossetti]

great actor, good performance

[dropover]

A 2 finger strummer groaning his way through a boring song. Time for a nap.

[Buege7]

Jeff YOU ARE AMAZING! Never ever change!

[MrYHP11]

Jeff Bridges plays with such heart and soul, it's beautiful performance.

P.S. There is something wrong with 24 people in this world...

[Mrwhitetrash1970]

This aggression will not stand man...The Dude rocks!!!

[christianapathy]

[randradas]

I like it more than the Ryan version.

[crysdavejon]

Sei veramente un grande!!!!!

Crys

[onebigcox]

[Dyxe47]

I've always wished this talented actor would get the recognition he deserves. Long overdue!

[metallifreak77]

I'm really happy the 'Crazy Heart' and 'True Grit' have really brought Jeff Bridges back into the limelight, he really is an awesome performer/person, and those two films are fantastic.

The Dude abides.

[Pedy1968]

Awesome singer and handsome man!

[TheBarbathebeer]

chapeau Mr. Lebowsky

[jguth66]

[XXLBeats]

Who the fuck is Jeff Bridges?!

I saw him on Smosh, I love him! Itchy balls!

[DannyLoef1]

He's a country version of James Hetfield ^^

[jkroberts420]

Jeff is the coolest guy on this planet

[TheSteezeSkaters]

Thumbs up if you came here after watching the smosh tron spoiler.

[sancalls]

Hats off!!

[towerguarder]

i watched tron for jeff bridges

[MrDagonofalbion]

he reminds me the most of the kai, or original glacier ice man for which there were glacial ice worms to remove their psychokinetic restraining bolts. it's the b chord that earned him koriboh.

[keegansillaf]

I'm not a big fan of country but I really enjoyed the music in crazy heart. I think Jeff did a great job.

[RDBeatnik]

At least he's fingerpicking. That's hard to pull off and sing at the same time. That's impressive.

[t3trojans]

This guy looks like Marilin Manson

[santafegal54]

Jeff, you're the best. And if you weren't happily married, I'd be right there in a crazy heart beat.

[mightyhorserocks]

Jeff Bridges rules. One of the best acters. I like everything he has done.

[hom859]

[DBen1992]

Saw "Crazy Heart" on cable this month. Jeff Bridges was great in his role. Def deserved an Oscar.

[TimmyFeathers]
