Awesome cover!! What tab did you follow?

[ianthomasmusic]

@k0e0z1 Thanks! I didn't follow tabs, just did it by ear

[monfmono]

@ianthomasmusic

I hate it when people say that, 'i did it by ear' just tell him the chords you played.

nice cover though mate :)

[ethanizabunny]

@ianthomasmusic i swear on every cover video on youtube there are two comments exactly like this "tabs?" "idont use tabs"

[RedMethodMedia]

@k0e0z1 chords are f#m A Bm C#



[steamypie123]

great

[ktr545]

love the "oo" face. lol

[MrAleksandarC]

Great work! Especially considering that you are doing it on acoustic guitar. Very good and clean voice. The only thing I didn't like is your cap ;~)

[ianthomasmusic]

@MrAleksandarC Thanks! What's wrong with the cap?

[MrAleksandarC]

@ianthomasmusic Can't win them all mate ;~)



[the1beard]

@ianthomasmusic cap makes you look like a silly kid . when you sound like a star..

[subliminalstereo90]

Great cover, keep up the work. And don't take it offensively at all but at your higher ranges I imagined Micheal Jackson singing it.

[telblackwell1980]

I dont think these chords are right???

[jam96jam]

That was really good. Like really really food.

[zhokar]

[xiulun]

I actually thought you were one of the guys from Black Keys doing an acoustic version of his song.

[vedalynn1]

FANTASTIC!...really. awesome, man.

[BabyWatsonJones]

Nice

[idw85]

Amazing. Please help us out and let us know what chords you used on each part so i can learn. Im a beginner and this song rocks!

[TheNirvanaFeeling]

[B1oodMeridian]

Dude, you can whistle like the best of em! Another great cover keep it up.

[popsicleptik]

This is fantastic. I was kind of thinking...how can this be that successful acoustic? And then you showed me. Wow. My initial reaction was just to type a nonsensical mass of letters to express my happy surprise.

[LOVEmusicxx3]

ahh, you did such a great job! (: and i like your shirt, lol

[DooshCommenter]

Damn dude you really suck....suck for showing off. This IMO is the best cover, except for that last transition, sounded a bit eh, but either or, amazing job on this one!

[cavemanbros]

it's very good but it's never the same without the drums still very very good though

[BournemouthVEVO]

I really like this, you should get it professionally recorded :) although please skip out that run down the neck, in my opinion that kind of ruined it.

[JHendrixxxxx]

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'll send you a PM in a few minutes about the songs I think you should do :)

[EYDFM]

what a great cover! real dope!

[MyAngelsEyes]

[MyAngelsEyes]

@ianthomasmusic

[BradPritts]

Great one, man! The acoustics in that room are perfect for the sound of this song. Your voice is as good as I've heard it in this one! Your singing in a sweet spot here. Really fun to listen to! Thanks for sharing!

[ianthomasmusic]

@BradPritts Thanks so much man! I really appreciate your feedback. It's really helpful!

[JHendrixxxxx]

Great cover man..

Will you be covering any more Jimi Hendrix?

[ianthomasmusic]

@JHendrixxxxx I'd prob be down to cover some other Hendrix. What song you think I should do?

[paddytreanor1]

This cover was nothing short of fantastic. You really nailed the tone and the heart of the song; I especially enjoyed the whistling. Very well done.
