The Smiths - Back to the old house (cover)

If I were to name only one song that started my fascination with the guitar, it would certainly be this one. It took me many hours of listening to the LP, tape recording, and later CD to finally learn it. I added my characteristic unpolished singing to this, since I didn't find a version with vocals here and I do like the idea of guitar and voice together. I hope it's not too distracting. :-)

Only 3539 views? Excellent man, your Smiths covers are probably one of the best one's on YouTube because you sing and play perfectly. Good luck and keep making more covers!

@francoguares Thanks, man! I haven't looked at this video in a long while. I always appreciate the kind feedback. :)

This cover is amazing, great job man, its always nice to hear songs worthy of covering being played, unfortunately, the few you ( or I ) wish you could find on youtube rarely yield results like this.  However, every once and a while you come across a real treat like this one. Sincerely, great job, a true favorite.

Thanks for your comment! Totally appreciated (and comments by others too, btw).

This is sheer magic, this song is impressive, and your rendition both on guitar and on vocals is just so great....

I agree with the others on the job well-done. This song (Hatful double-guitar version) is my absolute favorite, and I have heard it over 10,000 times easily. Regarding this posting, which I have studied, I would like to see you do the voice separately over just guitar so you could focus on your breathing and pitch a little bit more. I am very impressed with your abilities and play. Good job, dude.
